    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi, I'm new and clueless about how to start a topic or how to follow one. Hope you guys be patient with me.

    I sent my ROC package yestesday and it supposed to arrive tomorrow. I'm VERY nervous and can't wait to get any kind of info in the mail.

    My green card expires on 07/12/14 so hopefully before that i get the one extention letter.

    I did everything myself. I didn't want to pay 500-700 dollars for someone else to fill my application because a)it's not that complicated b) trying to save money because baby #2 is on his way!

    Just answer truthfully to anything they ask you. Overstay is forgiven for someone married to a USC, so do not worry about being denied for the overstay.

    Good luck!

    oh, is not the "overstay" I worry about, it's the fact that I stayed here the year before my visa expired. Living in the states with a tourist visa... I mean, I was not staying here always but I spent like half week here and half week in mx.

    please need some help!

    I dated my now husband for 8 years.

    in 2010 we had our daughter in CA and I didn't return to MX because he didn't want me to take the baby with me.

    my I-94 expired on january 2011

    in july 2011 we got married

    my b1/b2 visa expired on august 2011

    we apply for the I-130 and the AOS (don't remember the number of the form) on may 2012 and tomorrow I have my interview at the USCIS

    so my question is:

    is it going to look bad that I stayed here since 2010?

    before that I was working in Tijuana MX and was going back and forth until I was 8 months pregnant.

    I seriuosly don't know what I'm going to say!

    should I say that I went back to MX with my daughter and came to visit often?

    thanks!

    I think you can send a letter explaning the details and enclose a copy of the court letter. You can take the court certified letter along with you when they call you for the interview. USCIS will not disqualify people for arrest and even some types of convictions. They will definitely deny the application and even start deporting procedures if some one lies on the application and USCIS finds out about it. As long as you disclose all the details in the application and being honest about it is the big plus point with USCIS.

    I'm going to bring the report I'm going to get from the Sheriff's department with me the day of the interview. I'm going to tell them that I didn't mark I was arrested on my I-485 because I thought being in jail and not charged was like I never was there. I mean, it was an honest mistake.

    thank you for your help. the appointment is in a month so I guess I will be nervous until then.

    Topic has been moved from US Citizenship Forum to AOS forum as the OP is not applying for citizenship (N400) but a green card (I-485).

    cedv- just to let you know in case you didn't - you are not applying for US citizenship and you won't become a US citizen when you get your green card. You will become a Permanent Resident. After you have been a permanent resident for 3 years and you are still married to your US citizen husband, you are allowed to apply for citizenship with the N400 form. Good luck to you - you have got good advice in the above responses.

    thanks, VERY NEW to all this so I didn't know :D

    Hi everybody, not sure If I should post this here (since I'm a new member)

    On May I apply for a citizenship (I-130 and I-485). We paid this immigration-naturalization consultant to help us get all the paperwork ready and do all the work for us.

    She sent my documents and on the I-485 form she marked NO on the : have you ever been arrested,cited,charged, convicted etc etc.

    The thing is that I was arrested back in 2007 due to an argument I had with my now husband on thanks giving. I had some wine and the police officer (woman) was very rude saying she was going to deport me to my country because i was not allowed to live in the States and I told her she couldn't because I had my I-94 and after that she took me to jail. I spent the night there and got fingerprinted and my photo was taken. When they released me the next morning I got no paperwork/report whatsoever. I know I wasn't charged because they told me I was there to "learn my lesson" and nothing else and that's why me and my husband didn't think it was neccesary to tell the consultant that I had been in jail.

    This week I got my interview date with a notice that says that if i have ever been arrested or detained by any law for any reason and NO charges were filed, bring: and original official statement by the arresting agency confirming that NO charges were filed.

    So, the day of my interview what am I supposed to do/say about this matter? I requested a criminal history record from the sheriff's departement to prove the uscis that I was in jail just for the night and I wasn't charged. Is this going to affect my process? I'm very worried about it since I have a baby and can't even imagine the uscis sending me back to my country =(

    thanks for your help
