US Immigration from England

Hi Everyone,

My journey has finally ended! I applied to n400 last July (NYC, 5 years rule) moved to NJ in October. Had my biometrics re-use letter in March, and just came back from the interview at Newark, where I also did the Oath shortly after.

IO was super friendly and nice, and everyone there extremely helpful and welcoming.

What I took with me:

1. 5 years of tax returns
2. Passport (expired)
3. Select service registration
4. Marriage certificate and divorce certificate
5. Green card (the 10 years one) but also the expired one, and the work permit
6. Proof of home purchase
7. Electricity bill

What she looked at:

1. Only most recent tax return
2. The passports
3. Didn't care about SS, cause I'm also older than 31
4. Didn't care about my marriage certificate nor divorce given the 5 years rule, although she did ask my current marital status
5. Didn't look at the bills/deed.

After she asked me the questions/writing/reading, we went through all of the yes/no questions, and I was approved. She then took my green card, asked for the expired one, and if I had a work permit. All was handed over, and I got the 'you're approved' letter. Waited about an hour, and had the oath with 12 or so more people.

Very painless and super easy. Now onwards to waiting 8-12 weeks for a passport, ha!

Thanks everyone for all the help getting me here. You were all crucial for this success. Hope my experience helps!

Best of luck

Our interview is scheduled next month in Detroit. We submitted my husbands AOS packet on December 18th, 2020 which was the 90th day of his ESTA (we didn t plan on it, it just took a long time to get documentation around). His PD is December 22nd 2020. At the time that we filled out the application, we marked NO on Part 8 #17 Have you EVER violated the terms or conditions of your nonimmigrant status because he was still within his 90 days.

Do we need to answer YES instead when we go to the interview since he technically had 4 days of overstay?

Also, now that my husband has his SSN I will be filing our 2020 taxes. Do I need an updated Affidavit of Support for the interview or just bring a copy of the 2020 taxes?

Hello.

Here's the sequence of events:

- I submitted an I-290B with the divorce decree proving the termination of the marriage. I got receipt from USCIS. (this is the most recent event)

- I-751 Case Denied due to missing divorce decree. The letter of denial explained that I could file an I-290B presenting "new facts"

- My divorce was not finalized by the deadline that USCIS gave me, so I responded explaining why there had been delays in my divorce process

- Received the RFE letter

- Went to the Interview by myself, which I thought went good. The USCIS officer told me that she'd issue another RFE for a divorce decree (for the waiver that I opted for). My divorce was not yet finalized though.

- I received an interview notice

- I responded to the RFE

- USCIS issued a Request for Evidence 2 years later

- We separated

- I-751 was filed with my ex-spouse

(Note: I've always 100% followed every procedure and met every deadline. The fact that I didn't have the divorce decree in time for the second RFE was outside my control)

My questions:

1. As of 2021, how long does it take for USCIS to review an I-290B Motion to Reopen?

2. Given the events stated above, is it safe to assume that USCIS will reopen my case?

3. Since I've complied with every request and the interview, is it appropriate to expect approval for my I-751 if and once my case is reopened and USCIS sees the final divorce decree? My understanding is that it is USCIS procedure to have a divorce decree in order to allow an applicant to opt for a Waiver.

Thank you

Hi all,

I'm moving to the US on the 20th July and am in the process of packing up my belongings.

I was under the impression that I could just send all my stuff to my Fiance's parents and then collect when I'm over there. Now i'm starting to see that the companies need my visa and also I need to be the one collecting the delivery?

Can anyone who has recently gone through this process please help out and point me in the direction for the best service?

Cheers guys

Hello fellow VJ members,

First I would like to thank in advance all those who answer and put forward recommendations to my questions.

My Green Card will be running out in 5 months time (A little behind I know) and I am looking to renew it rather than become a resident for the time being. I am filling out form I90 and had a few questions regarding what I should enter in some of the boxes.

1. Box 6.a. In care of name

Would I put my name in this box, even though I am completing the paperwork myself with no help?

2. Box 6.g. Province & Box 6.h. Postal Code

Since I have a US address, am I right in saying that these boxes do not need to be filled out?

3. Part 3 Item 1.

Not real sure what to put in this box, can it be the same as Item 2, In my case I was granted adjustment of status at the USCIS California Service Center?

As always, I am a little nervous submitting forms with mistakes, Especially since I am hoping to go to England (my home country) for Christmas if all goes well under the current world situations we are currently involved in. I would imagine that if the renewed Green Card does not arrive in time for that trip, there would be some temporary documentation I would receive to be able to re enter the States? (Hopeful/Wishful thinking, I know)

I appreciate you and your time,

Thank You.
