all in namecheck at the moment are test cases

what does this mean?

There are benchmarks posted (or milestones as USCIS states), should they fall behind on the goal processing, they will reevaluate and post new benchmarks. This isnt a "test", this is a new procedure.

A test as in what is stated will happen and what will actually happen. As we have seen here not all go smoothly nor go strictly to the USCIS guidelines on all sorts of things is what I meant. We have not yet really read what is actually happening to real people. Except for 2 who had been waiting for over a year or so.

Do you know something that I don't on this matter? Would you call the fee change a "test"? How is a change in workflow and processing a test?

This is a regulations change. Sure the process might be tweaked, or heck - even scrapped in the future - but as it stands now - this is the reality - based on their posted benchmarks. My husband has been waiting 2.5 years for adjudication - supposedly this will happen by July according to the memo He was refingerprinted in march - out of the blue.

I never said it wasnt reality. I said how it affects real people in real life is going to be the test to see what happens and what effects it has. Where the heck does the fee change come into this or are you trying to turn this into something it isnt??

Im done with this site. Too many elitists and I will join the others who arent in this sites "cool group" and leave to better pastures.

Since the law is so new, all in namecheck at the moment are test cases, I personally am just waiting to see what happens with this and whether or not is a fact that they will all clear within 180 days.

Will probably have to wait until someone asks when they are told that they are in namecheck about when the clock starts on it. I have not yet read anything on when that happens only what has been written by the USCIS.

When going back to OZ or NZ I usually get in the line "something to declare" (its usually quicker). I have been searched once when I brought back some grits they did not know what they were.

On leaving OZ, my complete baggage hasnt been searched but they have used the wand looking thing on boxes (poking into them) to check for bomb stuff.

If you do get asked for it at interview, some do some dont, and if your vacs are up to date you can send the worksheet and any other records to Dr Arnold in Texas. She will transfer them over for a small fee onto the supplement.

This will delay your GC approval for a few weeks but it all depends on whether or not you wish too.

From the looks of your timeline you are going for the IR/CR visa? If so then what you are proposing will not work under either visa. You have to maintain residency in the US to retain your status. Popping back every 6 months will not work.

If You Plan on Traveling Outside of the U.S.

While permanent residence normally means the ability to travel

freely outside the U.S. and return, there are limitations. Lengthy

absences, particularly if they involve work or taking up residence

abroad, can lead to abandonment and loss of permanent residence

status, or delayed eligibility for naturalization. Absence for a year

or more can be particularly problematic.

You may be able to reduce the risk of abandonment by filing

for a “reentry permit,†using Form I-131, Application for Travel

Document, before you depart. Under more limited circumstances,

you may be able to protect your eligibility for naturalization by filing

a Form N-470, Application to Preserve Residence for Naturalization

Purposes, before you depart.

US citizen spouse is the primary sponser for the I 864.

This is where we live. It is really quite funny and sad. Jefferson County has until next month to pay the sewer bill. Nobody knows what is going to happen if they dont pay up. Fortunately, we are on a septic system.

Mayor Langford is horribly corrupt and so much about his lead up campaign is beginning to come out since he was elected a few months ago. Now that he has moved onto running Birmingham the city.

Where we live, is a really nice safe neighbourhood/city with a great police presence and good buisinesses, but they are worried about the County squeezing more money from them as are regular people who are worried about a hefty raise in taxes for this area. Most people here believe that bankruptcy is inevitable. They really murdered the money trail on this one and that is the question that people here are asking. Where did the money really go.

90 days before the expiration of your EAD, send in a application for your next one and include the NOA from your I 485 so that you do not have to pay any fees. Use code C 9, as opposed to A 9 that you used on your original application. Also you might as well at that time also apply for AP.

Use the I 765 form again.

You should not lose your job. You will have proof in the form of your NOA that you have applied for a renewal.

Because I was told by an officer from the USCI 1-800 that I needed to file a new one.

The mis information line strikes again. Ho way to tell how long it will take for the 2 to marry up but if you havent heard anything in about 6 - 8 weeks make a infopass.

chicago lockbox as per the instructions

Alot of countries just do the chest xray for the TB test without a skin test being done. (Personally I think it is better cause of what it shows and for those who have had the shot give false positives.) however, last year came the idiot from here in the US who flew all over the place in several countries with a particular active form of TB and now some of the offices are requesting the skin test, even if the xray was done and cleared.

ok room,

here is my dilema:

my wife came here on a k1 visa, we got married, but now are filing and the 90 days has expired since her arrival.

now when filing for my AOS, are we filing as a K1 or K3 (immigrant spouse)

totally confused.

K1, K3 is for those who entered on a k3 visa and were already married.

As long as you were married within the 90 days you can file when convenient.

You must have gotten a new idiot. Resend the package stating that the correct fees of $1010 were included in the original petition and that since it is after July 31 07 no fees are required for the EAD and AP when submitting together.

1/ check your firewalls, clear your cache and cookies and try again.

2/ No

3/ Do not need to fill in assets if your co-sponser has sufficient financials.

4/ Some send only the latest tax return some send 3 years, If the information has not changed on her employment letter then should be ok for that. The more information the better to send is my opinion, but you must send all supporting evidence that they ask for on the applications.

5/ No problem, your K1 condition is that the marriage takes place within 90 days, you may file whenever convenient.

6/ He can have a titre test to determine which he has immunity to or have them done again and then take the vaccination record to a CS to transcibe onto the supplement. He does not need a full medical.

If I guess correctly, you married and applied for I485 and I130 here in the us after legal entry on a visa other than K1 or K3?

If this is the case then they are reasonably correct. It is not advisable for that situation to leave the country. If you have accrued overstay time then that could be considered when you are inspected at entry. If you are allowed back into the US, then your physical body is parolled into the country.

The 3 year and 10 year bans still apply.

It is a gamble to leave the country and unless it was truely a emergency I would not take the risk.

I read this very very early this morning, I was amazed that someone has such a good heart to do this. Not enough like him in the world!

For your EAD since you are out of normal processing time (of 90 days) make a infopass appointment and they will put in a request for you.

Did you file married filing single or just single? If married filing single you should not have a problem that is an option that all of us have but did your husband also file married filing single? He could have gotten a ITIN for tax purposes. Three years here without filing taxes could be a bit iffy.

A chat with a tax consultant might be advantageous first.

K3 Visas are a little different. K1 only requires the vacc supplement. K3 applicants must get a stateside physical because some overseas countries don't have all required vaccs etc.

1) "A" based on the approved I-130, and attach a copy of the I-130 NOA2 letter.

2) K-Visas only need a vaccination supplement because the visa medical is less than a year old.

K3's do not need a complete medical if it is less than 12 months same as the K1'a, only need the supplement.

EAD = Employment authorization document.

If you are adjusting your status then your current visa status is "Adjustment pending"

The EAD is more than enough to satisfy the employers I-9.

I married in the US and did the K3 through Australia where I was living. I dont think you will have a problem since you are a resident of canada, even temporary. Best suggestion is to see if you can organise a infopass via the USCIS website and speak to a officer regarding your situation at a location close to your fiance's.

Also familiarise yourself with the procedure via the guides on here.

One thing you will find, NZ does not issue police reports, you can request your court records from the DoJ but the consulate will also request your records. this held up my processing for only a day luckily when I had my interview. I did take my DoJ letter with me to the interview.

The sell by date indicates the date it should be off the shelves in the supermarket; the use by is the date by which you should consume the goods.

Generally, the use by date is around 3/4 days after the sell by date.

I really miss seeing use by dates on things. Milk, although it does have a date on it, seems to keep far longer than it did in the UK. Normally it would last 4/5 days after opening at the most. Here, two weeks pass and it's still fresh. Makes me nervous, it does.

what kind of milk are you buying?? ..lol

unopened milk goes bad on me in about 4 or 5 days or so...

I was thinking along the same lines as Mags with the milk, I buy whatever is at the supermarket and it stays fresh for a long time but I still only keep it for about 5 days then toss it.

I would love to know how much preservatives are in the milk here.

You can make a infopass and take your NOA from the AP, they do normally only give emergency AP in unusual situations and you need to provide medical details from Doctors treating a ill patient overseas or death cert.

Some offices are good about giving it in these situations but a couple of our members have been unable even in the most dire of circumstances.

Other than these type of situations it will be approx 90 days as Desigal said.

Make another infopass. Atlanta are currently processing Aug 27 so you are out of the processing time for them. I am not sure how the NSEER registration will affect the processing of your AOS but that would be something to ask them.
