DC85

I read somewhere that some people who used the ST. Address with USPS express for their packages, the package got diverted to the pobox. I hope you get answers from members with recent experience.

Personally , when I will file after 3 months I will send it with fedex it's around $ 30. But you get reliable tracking and good service.

1-you should start by contacting your congressman, they can submit a query and see what's holding your case.

2-book an info pass and ask for a supervisor. They should tell what's going on with your case.

3-You also can open case with DHS ombudsman. http://www.dhs.gov/topic/cis-ombudsman

I filed my petition in October 2011 under waiver,interview May 2012,(I became CR in october 2009-divorce filed june 2010 got finalized June 2013 ),but petition is still pending.!!!

My interview with the I.O..May 7 2012.....

The I.O asked me why it was taking so long for my divorce to finalize and I replied with full confidence..."My american wife has contested the divorce in the court and she is asking for Annulment based on marriage fraud and has filed a response that we had never lived together and I married her to have the benefits of immigration that is why it is taking so long Officer " and the I.O started to stare at my face !!! and I continued telling the I.O that your American citizen is lying in the court to drag the divorce process so as to hamper my petition and asking $40,000.00 to mutually sign the divorce( I showed the emails by her lawyer to my lawyer asking money ) . I asked the I.O to give me ample amount of time to finish this divorce as I wanted to go the trial and was not willing to compromise .

I had provided ample amount of evidence to prove it was a legitimate marriage....I said to the i.O ...." Do you think officer a person like my background whose marriage was attended by little more than 1000 people ,you can see in the pictures,where no person was left uninvited can marry for your green card......and the I.O nodded her head and kept listening with full attention.

At the end I said.... "officer I know my divorce will not be finished in 84 days so I dont think I can submit my divorce decree in the time frame ( 84 days ) you are giving to me may be it will take more than a year" . At this I.O gave me 104 days i.e 20 more days and said .." if you are not able to finish the divorce in this much time frame then we will see what we can do "

You need to setup an info pass. Nobody here will know what's going on with your case. you have one of 2 scenarios ;

1- the officer put your file aside waiting for your response and she forgot about it, even if you sent the divorce decree , she might forgot about it.

1- The officer denied your case because you didn't send the required documents on time. My advice, Take this thing seriously, you need to follow up with them. You don't want one day the ICE knock at your door because you are in removal proceeding

you do not qualify as you do not meet the residency requirement. No matter how you spin it you are not living in the US, and unless you LIVE here you do not qualify for citizenship. Period. USCIS is not stupid and they can see your time stamps in your passports, they know you don't live here and if they don't already know, they will find out the moment you apply

He will be qualified next year once he has 18 months of physical presence in the usa. I am not sure why you try to give negative and inaccurate answers here. Even if he mightl be questioned about his frequent travel , that doesn't mean a denial. uscis denies people if the don't meet the requirements for naturalization. If he didn't spend more than 6 months in a single trip , and he accumulated 18 months of physical presence here, under which section of the law will he be denied? What if somebody is rich and he / she takes frequent vacations !!

You sounded as you are the director of Uscis and you looked at his entire A-file.

Contact your congressman and let them push your case. I think this will solve your problem. In addition, go for a second info pass, and be sharp with them , don't be afraid to insist to talk to a supervisor tell them it has been a year and nobody completed the process. It looks to me that your file is sitting at somebody's shelf collecting dust.

I am really sorry for your situation. My advice;

1-Push your case so you get your green card and your start your own life.

2- If you don't have a job, start looking for one so you can support yourself and keep you busy.

3- Volunteer in some charity work, make new friends, and build your own life. if you are not living in a healthy relation , then you will destroy yours even more.

Submit a service request to see what's going on with your case. you can do that online uscis.gov

if you couldn't do that give them a call on Monday morning and they should be able to submit a service request

you need always to be on top of your immigration cases. What if the sent you an RFE and you never received it an as result you didn't respond. if you have a case number check online and see. But most important, you need to schedule an info pass ASAP to see what's going on.

You don't need a lawyer, just gather as much as you can from the bona fide marriage

Get divorced and file on your own. If you file vaws then your petition will be handled by special unit and they trained on this. If you don't have some proof you may see yourself in more complicated situation

Contact UPS , and I think the can change the delivery address. Ask them to divert the package to the lockbox street address.

Your dad should listed you in the form. I still remember that form, you need to disclose the family members and their immigration status who live in the USA. Your dad can apply again, but it will be hard to get approval. The reason is [ You are a PR and once you become a USC , you can petition your dad and he can get a GC even if he is out of status], this is how COs think . You need to think about a ties that your dad have to over come the CO suspicious

Read the law and you will understand

"(b) Every alien (other than a nonimmigrant described in subparagraph ( L ) or (V) of section 101(a)(15), and other than a nonimmigrant described in any provision of section 101(a)(15)(H)(i) except subclause (b1) of such section) shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for a visa, and the immigration officers, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15). An alien who is an officer or employee of any foreign government or of any international organization entitled to enjoy privileges, exemptions, and immunities under the International Organizations Immunities Act, or an alien who is the attendant, servant, employee, or member of the immediate family of any such alien shall not be entitled to apply for or receive an immigrant visa, or to enter the United States as an immigrant unless he executes a written waiver in the same form and substance as is prescribed by section 247(b)."

To be safe , apply sometime after July 15, 2015, by that time you will have more than 18 months of physical presence, but don't take any more trips outside the states

A mistake in the DOB is a big mistake. But since it's the embassy mistake don't worry about it.

You need to send to the visa section an emaill to inform them about the error , they will setup an appointment , you will need to take the passport and the visa package as well , if you have an immigrant or k1 visa. You should get your passport with the visa package back in a week or 2.

for those that you listed photocopies are fine. To get tax transcript, you don't need to contact your accountant, just go to the IRS website and you can get a printout of all your tax return transcript

http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript

Be advised, you may need originals or certified copies for some documents like

- marriage certificate.

- proof of your wife citizenship if you are applying based on the 3 years rule. etc

opening a joint account now is worthless in my opinion. Try to gather anything, joint bills, affidavit or anything has both of your names on it.

Yes all of them are correct but when we apply for passport they tell us to fill form n600 I want to know what are documents needed to join with this form thanks

That's not true. All you need for the passport is 1- the child birth certificate 2- the certificate of naturalization of the father. 3- the child green card

My guess that you went to the post office which they are not very familiar with child citzenship law. Try to go to another one.

If you decided to go for n600 , then you can write a personal check for $ 600

I would check the monthly threads to see if somebody alsochas the same field office, it will give u an idea. In addition , if you didn't hear anything by th new year I will start following up. Things start slowing down near Christmas

I got these from the instruction manual. If somebody already went through the process , he / she can correct me.

Also you can get your daughter a US passport it would be easier , faster and cheaper

You will need ; [all document should be translated if it's not in English ]

- photocopy birth certificate for the child and the father

- photocopy of the child green card

- photocopy of marriage certificate

- photocopy of the father certificate of naturalization

- a proof of living in the usa . Lease, bank statement, pay stubs , etc

- And 2 passport size photos for the kid

your window opened since 10/25/2014. So, if you would like to apply for the citizenship you can do it now, taking into consideration that you are still married to your USC spouse and you guys still live together.

But we are in Pakistan my mother (principle beneficiary) , me and my brother (derivative beneficiary).

So after going to USA we don't have to go for AOS?

AOS: for the people who adjust stauts from non immigrant to immigrant status.[in the USA]

Consular processing : is for the people who has an immigrant visa number and they want to immigrate to USA[ outside the usa ] and this what applies to u.

You might be questioned about the divorce reasons. Keep everything about the bona fide marriage

Most likely you are filing the form in your browser, this is not gonna work. In addition , the bar code is not going to show either. You need to download the form first to your pc, then open it directly from there. Then you should be good to go

I would consult with an immigration lawyer. I don't see a problem for you to get the citizenship. But it's better to take a lawyer advice.

Include an explanation letter why it's late.
