Wow, they must be growing the trees for the GC somewhere(have in mind the GC is all plastic). This is more than a month, I know we have 60 days to get the card, but if I wait for more than a month I most likely will be calling them:) Me and Moe are quite impatient LOL

I called yesterday as it 's now over 30 days and they put in service request, I was told that computer failed to produce a card ( I have no idea what that means).

So, they are not only slow with processing the applications, they are also slow producing the cards itself ((. I was approved on July 15 but still no card, still 'in production'

Did you ever file for ROC for a removal of conditions on your green card? You were suppose to file it before Jan 10 2015 ...???

Here is my concern. I just got receipt of I-751 a week ago on Nov. 24. I see that they send biometric appointment sometime within a month. I will be out of state for Christmas for approx. 2 weeks and am so worried that letter would arrive while I am gone and I will miss the appointment. Is there a way to call USCIS while I am gone to see if they mailed something to me? I dont have any tracking # to track my case.

Has anyone ever had this issue?

Thank you for your responses.

We havent started gathering all our evidence but from what I know is we have following:

Joint checking account (used to pay many bills)

Joint health insurance

Husband's luife insurance im beneficiary

Husband's 401k im the beneficiary

Car tital in both names

Car insurance in both names

Some utility bills: gas & water

Phone/internet/cable bill in both names

Tax return filed jointly

We dont have any loans or credit card together.

The rest of evidence is not financial such as affidavids, vacation receipts, photos, cards

Does this look pretty solid so far?

Hi all, I will be filling for removal of conditions in the begining of October. My husband bought a house 10 years prior to meeting me so my name is not on the deed, we didnt want the hussle of trying to add my name or pay the fees, we are not even sure what exactly has to be done to have my name on the deed. We do have utilities in both our names though.... does anyone else has similar situation? If we send join utilities but no elase or deed along with that will that be an issue? Or should we add husbands deed to it and explnation? Would would you suggest?

Thanks in advance

Why nobody tells that he doesnt need to submit HIS tax reports with AOS as he is not authorized to work and can not be a sponsor!!!!!! Only sponsor's taxes are being subbmited with AOS! people have previously submitted tax returns for their unathorized souposes before and then couldnt come up with documents for authorization. He should not file as a sposor but list on his biography form that he has worked and where. He does not need to submit his tax returns at all with AOS!!!!!!

I can see that SSN can be made up for work if the job doesnt really do any back grtound check or tax withdrawal but just keeps it for the records. In that case it just a numbers.

For I-131 for Advanced Parole, it says the applicant must attach "A copy of any document issued to you by USCIS showing your present status in the United States" (I-131 instructions, Step 2, 1.C.1.a). Does that just mean the I-94? If the applicant is an F-1 student, then the I-94 just says "D/S" for the duration of stay. In this case is it necessary to attach the I-20's too? Thanks.

Another question: In the same instructions, in 1.C.1.c, it says "If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application". If this is filed together with the I-485, then what should be attached? (A copy of the I-485 form?)

Of course you I-20 is the document showing your current status! You should attach it as well as copy of your visa and I-94

Are you filling I-131 together with I-485? If you file it together than you dont need receipt.If you file I-131 seperatly than you need a receipt of acceptence of I-485.

I wouldnt suggest going ahead with AOS.But if you do -remember there will be NO appeal on VWP.If you get denied you cant appeal.

Please just be rational. Immigration has every right to believe you had preconcived intent PLUS you swore up and down at the port of entry that you have no intent and then you do file AOS. They will be able to find records of you POE. Do whats best for you.

Wedding pictures are no problem but do you have ANy pictures of you two together? Youve been married for 2 years do you have any pictures together at all? I think this is could be a bit of a problem if you really have not a single picture of you together especially since you will be getting 10-years green card.

Dear redflower,

I honor your patience and willingness to work on your marriage.However I am very concerned for your safety.It honestly doesnt seem like your husband actually putting any effort not only keep marriage together but putting effort into not commiting a crime!!! If he realizes himself he is cable of killing you he SHOULD be scared!!! He should RUN to any and every doctor out there to try and keep him from getting violent. Unofrtunately it doesnt seem that he is putting any effort into it. My concern is also he seem to be violent only with you. He has a very responsible and demanding job. He interacts with a lot of people working 60 hours a week and yet he hasnt hit or became violent with ANY of them. I am sure he can keep his focus for longer than 30 min and IS controling himself around people. HE KNOWS HOW to control himself with others otherwise he would be fired and be in jail by now. However he treats you as a punch bag and allowing himself being violent with you and than blaiming it on not being able to control himself. It is very strange situation!

About him being sick from pills.!Sorry but does he better like to be in jail instead?For trying to kill you? This man doesnt seem to understand the danger that he brings!!!

Women get sick from birthcontrol, they get nausea and get sick hwoever they still take the damn pill everyday. So i am sure man can handle this!

They are so behind that they are basically refusing to process any of the standalone I-130s sent to them. It is a really messed up situation.

I guess I got lucky then....my AOS application was super fast.

Being that Atlanta hasn't even touched the standalone I-130s from August, they better not be doing AOS applications from December.

I've sent my AOS in October 8th and had interview January 8th in Atlanta Office so I had no idea threy are behind

I dont think it is quite truthful information. We had our interview in Atlanta Office , our interview was on the day exactly 3 months later from the filling date. Our AOS was approved in 3 months.

As I mentioned in the topic SteveanTiff links to, I personally believe that there is a tighter wrap around people on student/work visas. You'll have an AOS interview. Just make sure to bring all your proper supporting evidence.

If ICE is out of the picture, I'd start focusing on your only potential red flag(if it is on). You were in the US for 2 weeks, then got fired and married your husband, all within 2 months of your arrival. Nothing illegal about that, at all. However, it might look as if she came with the intentions of using a non-immigrant visa to immigrate with. She doesn't have to prove anything but if asked, it's neat to come prepared and not be thrown off by any sort of questions.

Good luck.

There is actually 2 scenarios:

1) Getting married so quick upon arrival will rise a red flag about interntions upon arrival. That you have used non immigrant visa to immigrate. '

or

2) You were fired 2 weeks later and got married solely for the purpose of not wanting to return to your home country.

So you have to cover yourself and have evidence that none of the above is truth!

Well it doesn't say "card production" hence my question.

[/quote It may take few days for them to send it into production! Relax! You are more than fine! Your card doesnt go into production right away!It may take some time! You have absolutely nothing to worry about but celebrate and wait for green card!You interview was yestarday it was only one day since! You are lucky you got "approval" so fast! Not eveyrone's case gets updated this fast. Please have patience!

But there was no notice about a green card.

There is no notice about green card becouse your I-485 & I-130 has to be prroved!!!! This is first step to a card production! Once your I-485 & I-130 approved your permanent residency will be registered and your green card will go into productiion!!!! This is how it works. First your applications get approved THEN green card will be ordered!Celebrate!

like I said if you cant be nice please shut it.

Dont be so tought on people. Your post doesnt make sense very much. Although there is a chance (very slim) as said above that decision of approval was made too quick and might be looked over before issueing green card.However you said this :"Today I got an email notification that both i485 and i130 have been approved. I am struggling with the meaning of this" Why are you struggling of meaning??? Meaning is you are APPROVED! approved for green card! Check your online status once you see Card production -you'll get your card pretty much 100%.There is nothing to be struggling about.

Actually, I just edited my post as I looked on to the form again. So, what I said above still stands. Your wife is filling that out, and she'll put you to 3B. Yes, they are not applying for change of status as happyblah said but they are your "PRESENT SPOUSE" as the box says...Good luck!

LOL you should have put your USC husband so you werent wrong. But you check NO (not applying with you) bos since your husband USC and not applying with you. Were did you get confused?

You as American Citizen not applying with your wife for change of status!!! I-485 is HER form she is the one applying for adjustament, in 3 part B it asks your wife to list her supposes and chldren if any ( if suppouse and/or children are US citizen they are not applying for change of status). so NO! Make sure you file everything correctly. There is sample forms on this forum check ti out http://www.visajourney.com/content/examples

I've red some posts on internet about the same issue. It seems like when officer approved the FBI name check may not have been complited (officer's mistake) so they had to send letter about reopening since they cant approve until name check it done. However since green card on the way to name check must've been done and green card went into production. Thats what I have red but I dont know for sure.

To get married on VWP is NOT Illegal!! Staying here after to adjust is!! If you get married on VWP and leave to go back to your home country and start the process you have done nothing illegal.

Inqztve: I didn't get away with it, it is perfectly legal so there is nothing to get away with. Before I came over here last year to marry my husband I even double checked with the embassy in my country and with uscis. And I got the same answer, it is not illegal BUT if the customs finds out and you can't prove that you have will return home after you might not be let in. But to marry on VWP is not illegal.

Actually filing for fiance visa would be the ideal .Its faster than wife visa and wont have troubles with fraud or wrong intentions.You cant lie at the port of entry though. If you are asked at POE or embassy and you lied it is fraud and will bite you later. It is not illigal to get married and return but if asked it is illigal to lie.If not asked than no problem.

Thank you for your answers. You are right that might be the intention of the law. However it may be more useful to look at what the law says. Procedurally there does not seem to be anything explicitly prohibiting situations like ours.

It seems like a very risky move on your part as from Immigration stand point your situation wont make sense. If you live here without your suppose is pursuing degree than you've got F-1 status. You are filing AOS to be with your husband/wife and not to be separated.In your case you will be pursuing Permanent Resident status to live on your own while your husband/wife overseas. I think you need a lawyer to not get yourself in any trouble.As it is going to be very hard to make sense of your case.

How soon after you entry into the USA you got married? If you got married in the less then 90 days from your entry is a red flag.
