Hi,

If you do your change of address online at the USCIS site you can state that this is a temporary move. USCIS asks to notify them within 10 days after you move but in your case I think you could keep it the same until you hear about your spouse's job.

Good Luck!

Hi,

Based on my experience I got my driver's license (in New York) using my I-551 stamp in my passport provided right after our interview. Make sure you get your passport stamped before you leave the service center.

Hope this helps in some way.

Hi,

When I applied for a reentry permit I was just asked to get my biometrics taken after filing and paid. Make sure you expedite the process so that it is faster. After my biometrics appointment I left the country and had my reentry permit sent by fedex (not recommended because it can get lost). I also believe it is possible for USCIS to send you this document to the US embassy in the country you are going to be at.

Hi,

Granted that I filed my application in January 2014 and it is pending, I sent:

- I-90 form.

- Check for $450

- Copy of my passport

- Copy of my driver's license

- Copy of my lost green card

- Cover letter (I always include one listing what I am sending in the package)

- e-Notification form G-1145

So far they accepted the package and I have completed the biometrics process. I must warn you that it seems USCIS is taking longer than usual to process this kind of application.

Regards,

Hi, if that person has a valid driver's license and a SSC it should be enough. DMV won't issue a DL unless the applicant can prove their legal status and they will make it valid until the proof of legal residence document expires. When I applied for my DL while having a 2-year conditional green card the DL was set to expire the same date as that GC. When I filed for ROC and got the letter that extended my GC for a year while I waited for the process to be complete, DMV only gave me a 1-year DL. On the other hand, like it was posted before, SS will state if that person can only work if allowed by the DHS.

So those two documents, if still valid, should be more than enough. Of course, that person can always provide a I-551 stamp after filing for renewal as evidence of residence.

Regards,

Pedro

Hi, first of all Congratulations! The little advice I can give you is to bring photographs and make sure you have your wife's ORIGINAL birth certificate as well as yours. Just in case bring your file, folder or binder where you keep every single document you have sent to and received from uscis (it's always recommended to be prepared). Our interview was very quick (20 mins) and the only wanted to see the original birth certificates. The questions were very easy: In-laws names, where did my wife studied, spell her middle name (she has a uncommon name), they asked her my parents' names. Always keep calm and go knowing that this is just a standard process that you have to go through.

Well they have applied to the US visa several times and never got rejected. Both of my parents have strong ties to my home country. My brother (24) and my sister (16) applied with them also, and I think that is the issue. But I think it is unfair to put the blame on my side since all I did was getting married. It is not like I overstayed or crossed the border illegaly. I'm looking for the way to explain all this to the embassy. So that when they reapply I am not part of this issue.

I am a permanent resident of the US. When I got married I did it while holding a tourist visa (my wife is a US citizen). It is a legitimate marriage. My family applied for a tourist visa renewal a week ago and they got rejected. The reason was that I didn't get married on a fiance visa. The last time I came to the US, my wife and I didn't know that we would get married. We were in a long distance relationship and we decided it on the spot.

The consular officer said that when I applied for my visa, I did it along with my dad as the sponsor. And now that they go again to renew it (after never staying more than 15 days when they visited) they got rejected. They made it look like as if my dad's record got tainted because of me. Therefore, anyone who applies with him will not get a visa. What I would like to do is to clarify to the embassy that my intentions were not to come and get married before leaving my home country. Does anybody know what I can do in order to explain this to the embassy? Thanks for your help.
