    Had my biometrics done today @ St Paul.  They were very nice and super speedy, though the office was BUSY!  They were handing out booklets with the civics information we'll need to pass the test, which was useful.

  2. Had my biometrics done today @ the Saint Paul (MN) field office.

     

    I arrived on time, had about a 20 minute wait as there were 20 people ahead of me in the line.  It was busy!  Staff were all very quick and very professional. 

    Now it's just the waiting game for the interview.... which could be a while.

  3. When the year is up (or close to up), if your spouse doesn't have her renewed GC, you'll get another extension letter.  You don't have anything that proves she is legal beyond that year for the extension, because there is the possibility (which may be very very remote for you) that they choose to deny her renewal if they found something untoward in her application.

    Frankly, I'd prefer we didn't give visas to anyone who allowed their children to undergo FGM, but we do, and last time I checked that was way more than the majority of parents in certain MENA countries that we are discussing here.  Anyone who could be complicit in the mutilation of a little girl doesn't belong in this country.

     

     

     

    Does this apply to those who circumcise their baby boys too?

    i read this argument from another immigration forum,

     

    that one of the main reasons for the slowest processing at Minnesota is because MN has the largest number of refugees across the country. Nearly 40 percent of Minnesota’s refugees are from Somalia,20 percent are from Myanmar.like 2017 , the MN government had accepted 2500 new refugees,. when possible assigned to areas where they have friends or relatives. The Minnesota Department of Human Services says that in 2015, more than 90 percent of the state’s refugees said they had ties to Minnesota before arrival. this is like rolling the snowball game.

     

    those refugees are going to apply for US citizen as well.  refugees are required by law to apply for a green card one year after resettlement in the United States. The green card is a 10-year (renewable) document that offers almost all the benefits. their citizenship processing are expedited as well . They can apply for citizenship four years later (not five, as the five-year count for refugees starts on the day of arrival.""   The Contracting States shall as far as possible facilitate the assimilation and naturalization of refugees. They shall, in particular, make every effort to expedite naturalization proceedings and to reduce as far as possible the charges and costs of such proceedings."   Refugees are granted faster processing with fee waived by the law. they are granted green card and citizen so easily. they have superior faster privileges than people who are working hard to earn bachelor's/master/PHD degrees in the U.S., looking for jobs and H1B, spend tons of money and effort for EB2,EB1 approval... people who study hard,work hard, pay tax ,who make this country greater however dont get treated fairly.  

     

     image you are ling up for hours for the grand opening to buy iphone X. However, surprisely there are group of people cutting in the line and each of them  buy 2-3 devices. by the time its your turn finally, the product is sold out. the apple staff say, they are refugees with privileges. ..

     

    this is a terrible feeling when happens to you in terms of immigration rule.  People dont complain if this applies to active duty military applicants as they sacrifice to protect this country and make American safer. they deserve the expedited privilege. 

     

     

    It might be a good idea to check the veracity of your data/sources before spreading rumors from other forums.

     

    1, MN doesn't have the largest number of refugees across the country.  Between 2001-2016, MN took in approx 40k refugees.  This was considerably less than CA, FL, NY & TX (102k, 46k, 54k, 82k), and only slightly more than AZ, MI & WA (39k, 38k, 40k)

    (Source: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/by-numbers-united-states-refugees-180962487/)

     

    If you're calculating as a % of population, we don't even fit into the top 10 for 2016 (Source: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/12/06/just-10-states-resettled-more-than-half-of-recent-refugees-to-u-s/), though we did have the most in 2005 by this method, and they were from Laos.  

     

    2. Moving to where friends and family are is not a refugee thing, it's an immigrant thing.  Having a strong support system enables faster societal integration, and having people help give you tips on living in a new country, getting a job, babysitting your kids and a host of other benefits that makes new arrivals independent earlier and less reliant on government services.  I would have loved a support system when I moved to MN, and if I had a choice of where to go in the US when I moved here, it would have been a state with more Australians.

     

    3.  According to USCIS, only people who have served in the US Armed Forces can waive the naturalization fee (Source: https://www.uscis.gov/files/form/attachments.pdf)  

     

    4. Not everybody has to wait 5 years for naturalization. People who have been married to US citizens only have to wait 3. (Source: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/chapter4.pdf

     

    5. The comment about people who "study hard, work hard, pay tax etc etc.. however don't get treated fairly" is disengenous, as it implies that refugees aren't studying hard, working hard and paying taxes.  in fact, the unemployment rate for foreign born US residents - including refugees - is actually lower than that for native born residents. (Source: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/forbrn.pdf).

     

    6. The analogy to the iPhone X queue is a false equivalence. Standing in line for a new phone is nothing like applying for US citizenship. US citizenship isn't limited like iPhones are. It's cheaper (the iPHone X costs more the $725) and we are going about our daily business of working, and raising our families whilst we wait.  

     

    There aren't many downsides to a long wait.  We can't vote or donate to political campaigns, but we've never had that right in the US so we're not being denied anything we're accustomed to.  The only real difficulty would be if we died, our estate wouldn't be eligible for the tax free threshold, and if our spouse died, we wouldn't be entitled - as non-citizens-  to receive their pension.  Of course if your estate would be hurt by the removal of the tax free threshold, then you should have your assets in a trust anyway that would protect it from this issue.  

     

    The only difference between the refugees and other immigrants like myself (5-6 years on an L1 intra-company transfer, then marriage to a US citizen) and others on this forum, is that they came from a much shittier environment than we did and didn't have access to the same opportunities that many of us have had.

     

    For example, I grew up in the middle class suburbs of Australia.  Even though my father died when I was very young, and my mother was on government benefits, I was able to get an excellent and relatively free education as it was something the Australian government paid for.  I had access to fresh food, clothes, clean & running water, sanitary products and a great labor market, as well as affordable public transport to get to my job.

     

    It was safe to work around my suburbs at night.  My classmates weren't recruited as child soldiers.  Neither I nor my friends were raped by the "opposition" side, though they may have had voting leaflets thrust into their hands.  There weren't open sewers in the street.  My school had all the supplies we needed and highly educated, dedicated teachers.  I wasn't married off at the age of 11. I wasn't pregnant at 12.  My brother didn't have to go and fight for our suburb.  I never needed an escort to get around for my own safety.  I didn't miss school because I was menstruating and didn't have anything to protect my clothing.

     

    I never had to pack my belongings into a suitcase and walk to another city to escape violence. I didn't live in a tent for several years, waiting to move to a safe country.  My suburb wasn't destroyed by mudslides, earthquakes, or hurricanes.  I didn't have to beg for food, or prostitute myself to stay alive.  

     

    My upbringing was safe, and it was very easy to get the education and career that led me to the US.  Even though we were poor, it was privileged compared to what some of these refugees are going through.

     

    Overall, the numbers do not support that refugee privileges are the reason behind our long wait, and even if they did, I certainly wouldn't begrudge people who have lived through hell to get a little bit of goodness come their way, given all the relative luck and privilege I have had in my life so far.

    Hey, welcome!

     

    I didn’t even know that you could pick! Well, whatever is easier for them I guess and faster, haha! Is there any difference between these two options?

    They don't offer it to you as a choice, but it's something you can do.  You'll need to hunt down a federal judge who'll do it for you though, and they may charge, like judges do for weddings etc if it's on a weekend.  If it's in their chambers it's most likely free.  They don't have to, so it will be up to them.  It's called a "judicial ceremony".   

     

     

     

  12. Hi Folks,
    
    Slipped into April filers at the last minute!  It looks like my local field office (Minneapolis/St Paul) has about an 11 month 
    wait right now, so settling in for the long haul.
    Kind of makes me wish I didn't wait for my 5 years of marriage to tick over.
    
    Does anybody plan on using a federal judge for their oath ceremony, or are y'all just happy to do it in a group at the field office?
    
    Cheers,
    Travelfairy

    Hi Folks,

    I just submitted my N400 online last night.  I waited for my 5 years of marriage to tick over, but given these wait times, maybe I shouldn't have!!  I have a couple of friends who are also submitting in the very near future, so I can anonymously share their progress too (they are unlikely to join).

    My experiences at the Mpls office (i.e. Greencard interview) have all been positive so far.

     

    From my understanding, you don't need to take the oath in a field office, any federal judge can give it.  I'm not sure of the USCIS notification procedure, but if you have any federal judges nearby and want to get it over with, you might be able to get it done that way.  

     

    A district judge friend of mine wanted to administer my citizenship oath (she married my husband and I and feels invested in our lives) and we were going to have a big party, but were disappointed to learn that it was federal judges only.  

     

    NOLA - I'll be watching your progress closely, as you're just ahead of me!!

  14. The tax will help. Have you been on his car insurance since you got married / got your DL? Also - they like "supporting evidence" so lots of pictures of you as a couple, either traveling or with other friends or family. We realized that we were always taking photos of each other on vacation, rather than together so we had to make a dedicated effort to take couples selfies. Fortunately we had our second wedding (two weddings in two countries) overseas after I had my greencard issued so we were able to use all those photos, but I'm not sure it will help you there.

  15. So happy VeeNDee was approved - that was the first CA Service Centre approval with a biometrics date equal to or later than mine. Woot Woot! Mine should be close. I can't find my darn appointment letter so can't check online, but I'll know once it arrives. Let's hope JESSIERC will update shortly with equally good news!

    We are off to Ireland for a wedding in September, and it would be nice to go with the new GC and not have to get an extra stamp in my passport.

  16. If you moved to another city to support your wife, then I would assume you transferred $ into her account to help her living expenses. Also if the credit cards were in your name, there may have been purchases on there for her at places such as clothing stores etc. That should help.

    Also - emails and phone records that show you are communicating all the time, particularly if you have the sort that my husband I I send all the time - administrative type lists of things that you paid and she owes you money for, and vice versa (or who is doing what on the chores list), weekend coordination etc.

    Thirdly, proof of travel to see your wife, plane tickets etc so even though you're living in another city, you're maintaining a relationship. Make sure you have pics from all the vacations.

    If you can show the pattern that you had the financial issues and are now saving to live together, that might help as well. Don't just give them the bank statements, but include copies with a letter showing your balance before you moved (and credit card debt etc) and how you've been accumulating savings and paying things off. If you have proof of either a realtor to buy a house together, or information on where you'd like to live, that would help.

    Bad credit won't stop you both from opening a joint bank account together and both making regular deposits, and taking joint expenses out of it, so do that now rather than later.

    Another thing they don't mention is professional wills and power of attorney - you can each give each other power of attorney and submit proof of that, as well as a professionally drawn will from a lawyer (signed, witnessed etc) each dedicating your assets to each other (with consideration for children).

    Finally - insurance. I would assume that you're both named drivers on each other's car insurance, yes? If you include that proof that will help establish your relationship for USCIS.
