Don't get sidetracked here. Dmartmar loves to tweek on people and raise emotions, much like Jerry Springer. It keeps the site interesting. It takes all kinds. Trust me, you got off cheap.

You make it seem as if I tweek on people and raise their emotions on purpose, when really, all I'm trying to do is make them open up their minds, think and perhaps see things differently.

Dmartar, thanks for trying open my mind. The last time i tried, David Koresh took away all my savings and I had to make love with an alien, but many thanks anyway......

How hard and how long would it be/take for this person to be able to come back into the US, assuming his ex-wife does contact the 'CIS and accuses him of fraud? Or worse yet, still married to her w/o his knowledge?

The only fraud in the relationship was that I lied my wife when I mentioned that it didnt bother me watching american football instead of soccer . ..... So ....why you think she is going to accuse me of fraud?

Hi Latin americans VJs....

I need to write an urgent letter to my Local USCIS Office in Texas. The thing is, my english is really basic and surely not proper for an important communication......

Anyone could correct the memo that I have already wrote? Its only 6 lines, please please, send me a PM or mail.

thanks and sorry to bother you.

Espero que me puedan ayudar. Gracias.

By the way, since my english is really really rudimentary since ive spent only 8 months in the USA, Do you think the USA consulate could accept a letter in spanish explaining my situation?

I believe with the US Consulate it would be fine, but I doubt that USCIS could accept a letter in Spanish

Sólo espera unos años ... ( Just wait few years)

I am in a similar situation: Got married 8 months ago and Adjustment of status Pending.

The Difference is that I am now back to my home country:

Hi, sorry your marriage isn't working out. I think that its is common courtesy to write a quick letter to USCIS explaining the situation and don't forget to keep a copy of that letter for your own records notarised in case you should need to show it in the future when trying to get a tourist visa.

Best wishes

I agree with this and also call USCIS and your local U.S. Embassy and Consulate. Also write letters to them so that you have everything documented. You are very smart and classy for trying to do the right thing and preventing problems for yourself in the future in case you want to return.

Good luck,

Peter Miami

Thanks Peter, i just want to prevent further damages but belive me , im not smart, otherwise I ll be single

Thanks Kat. I applied in Dallas ( DORA program) as same as you.

Anyway.... for those who are asking me why I want to withdraw my application instead of abandon it the answer is becouse I dont want to keep the authorities working in my case when my marriage is over. I dont want to give the INS a reason to deny me a tourist visa some day... that´s all

Should I include the NOA or/and tell them my A#, SSN, Etc?

..... I already had the interview to get the Green Card and is still pending due the FBI Name Check........

But I dont want to ¨abandon¨the Adjustment Of Status. I want to withdraw the application. It´s going to be a completly different story if I ll ever try to travel the USA again for touristic / work reasons.

I dont want the INS authorities keep working on my case until they ll found out I move out the country. I want to tell them that I have decided to terminate my relationship with my wife and that the dont need to process my case anymore.

I think that is the right thing to do.

Here is my dilemma.....

I am married to a USC. I am adjusting my status ( I485)... the petition is still pending

I had returned to my home country because my wife and I decided to divorce,But she havent filed for seperation/ divorce yet ................so now I am back in South America.

Here are my questions:

1)Can I withdraw the petition for permanent residence myself or does it need to be done by the USC?

2) should I contact the USA consulate/ embassy here or notice the Local Office where we filed the application?

I want to respect the US immigration laws and I dont think my wife is going to contact the USCIS so i want to prevent a possible case of fraud. I need to get in touch with the INS.

Any advice, help, suggestions????

Thanks

Hi everyone. We just signed in for an infopass appointment and it will be on June 5th. I'm new on this thread but I've been a lurker for a while though.

I know this is sort of a dumb question but we signed in infopass using my name, the K3 holder. Shouldn't it be the USC?

Thanks.

The K3 holder can book the appointment. don´t worry.

Hi all,

I was wondering what´s the difference ( if there´s any) between the Name Check at the Consular stage ( when we apply for the visa) and the Name Check to get approved the GC.-

Hello everyone,

You seem to know some things about how the Name Check works so I would like to ask you a Question if you dont mind, becouse I couldn´t find the answer yet.....

What´s the difference between the Name Check when we apply for the visa ( Consular stage) and the Name Check during the Adjustment of Status ( When we ask for the green card)?

If anyone knows, Ill be more than glad to know the answer. Thanks!

I don't think you're allowed to leave the US on AP for more than 60 days; if you stay abroad longer your AOS will be considered abandoned. So, I think you should consider returning within this timeframe. Otherwise, you'll probably denied entry.

Fischko, I know you read different stuff from me, so I was wondering if you had a source for this? (or Kezzie--)

It made me quite curious and all the info I came up with indicates that there is no time limit for being outside the US on Advance Parole *other than* returning to the US by the expiration date of the AP itself.

More official-like:

http://www.murthy.com/news/UDretbef.html

From time to time, we receive questions asking when it is necessary to return if one is traveling on AP. The AP document, Form I-512, contains a clearly stated expiration date. The Form bears the statement, "presentation of the original of this document prior to (date) will authorize an immigration officer at the port of entry in the United States to permit the named bearer, whose photograph appears hereon, to enter the United States." This date is generally one year from the date the AP was initially approved. The return to the U.S. must occur before the stated date. Travel plans should be made to allow for potential problems such as flight cancellations, illnesses and the like.

Chat User : If someone uses advance parole (AP) during the I-485 stage INS may respond with an RFE or transfer the case to a local INS office. INS does not like people at this stage to use AP. Posted February 25, 2003

Attorney Murthy : We have never heard that before. One is legally allowed to enter on the AP or the H1B. If one entered on the AP, then that person is considered to have been paroled into the U.S. and not legally "admitted," which has its own legal consequences. If the I-485 is rejected, for any reason, then the person is no longer in status, but if one entered on the H1B, then one has the backup H1B status. Each status has its own advantages and disadvantages, but INS does not issue an RFE or transfer the case merely by virtue of having traveled on AP.

Less official-like:

http://www.immigrationportal.com/archive/i...p/t-205418.html

it has been confirmed by USCIS memo that travel while an AP application is pending is allowable and will not affect your status, or the validity of the AP.

http://www.russianmeetingplace.com/forums/...read.php?t=1801

There is a paragraph that states... Presentation of the original of this document prior to {1/10/2007} will authorize an immigration officer at a port of entry in the United States to permit the named bearer, whose photograph appears hereon, to enter the United States: As an Alien paroled pursuant to section 212(d)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

AUTHORIZATION: The holder of this authorization is an applicant for adjustment of status under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The holder departed the United States temporarily and intends to return to the United States to resume processing of the adjustment of status application. Contingent upon his or her prima facie eligibility, the holder of this document shall be paroled into the United States pursuant to the authority of the Director, National Benefits Center (formerly known as the Missouri Service Center). VALID FOR MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS FOR PAROLE INTO THE UNITED STATES. Parole is authorized for one year.

I spoke with a Customer Service Rep and asked him how long my wife can be out of the country on Advanced Parole and he said that there were no restriction unless it states on the document.

me: I can see a loophole against the parolee in that 'prima facie' phrase, but I have still never heard of a timelimit for AP holders to have to return to the US.

It would be good to have some more factual information about this topic--I've seen it come up a couple of times lately, which is why I looked. If anyone has any info on this, please jump in!

Thanks for answer me.

Anyway, many people in this forum still thinks that one could be denied at the POE becouse the extension of the trip abroad....wich lead me to the question I asked at the begining of this Topic:

If you entry is denied for whatever reason, can you take another flight few days later and try it again or its a permanent ban?

Many thanks.

I don't think you're allowed to leave the US on AP for more than 60 days; if you stay abroad longer your AOS will be considered abandoned. So, I think you should consider returning within this timeframe. Otherwise, you'll probably denied entry.

Thanks for the answers. Ive already had my interview and my AOS is pending due the Name Check.

Is it a rule that being out of the country more than 2 months is abandoned of the application?

I hate to answer a question with a question but....why the heck are you worried about re-entry if you have a valid AP document?

Becouse I ll be abroad for a long time( almost 3 months). Could it be a reason for a denial?

My wife will be using her AP, (if she does not have her green card by then), to visit family in Mexico this fall or winter. I know there are no guarantees that you will be let back into the USA at the port of entry. Just curious if anyone has ever been denied entrance back to the US, and if so, what was the reason?

The most common reasons would be:

o You are subject to a ban from an overstay. Once AOS is complete, this goes away. AP doesn't help

o AOS denied/deemed fraudulent while you are gone.

or possibly (but unlikely),

o Immigration thinks you are a threat to the US. They won't tell you why, and in this case I don't think the green card would help anyway.

what you mean with ¨overstay¨? Isnt the AP valid until it expiration day?

I have to travel to my home country for several days and Im planning to return the USA using my Advance Parole. If for whatever reason the officer at the port of entry doesnt let me enter the country....

Does it mean that I won´t be able to return the USA anymore or I have the chance to return my country of origin and try it again?

Thanks

thanks for the reply.

The thing is that now that we are married, and our AOS is in progress we decided to chenge the surname...

Thanks

!

Do you know what forms are nedeed?

Thanks a lot !

No
