Hi everyone!

In Feb this year my husband and I moved to Japan for his work. I have had a green card for three years and last year I applied for removing the conditions on my green card along with a permit to live outside of the US for an extended period of time - I-327 which I received in June. I read that these documents are usually issued for a period of 1 to 2 years but mine is valid for just a few months, expiring Dec 5 of this year.

Has anybody overstayed their I-327? Any issues with reentry or renewal of I-327 after that? I will be traveling to America for health reasons in Feb so I was hoping that I can apply for reissue when I go to my doctor.

Please help!
Thanks!!!

Hi I currently live in Tokyo and I am in the process of removing the conditions on my green card. My application was challenged and now I need to submit proof of good faith marriage to the USCIS. I have a lease agreement, resident cards, health insurance cards but they are all in Japanese. I was wondering how to go about the translation. I read somewhere that anybody fluent in both Japanese and English could do the translation for me and that the document doesn't have to be notarized. Is this correct?

And would getting the Japan spouse visa affect my status?

According to the calculator I can file on 9/6/16. Can I file on that date even if I leave for Japan in January? It would be only 7 month in which I will be traveling back and forth between Japan and US.

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for your input.

We got married on 8/2/13 and we filed immediately. I received my green card on 12/5/13. Do you think I can start the naturalization process now?

Thanks,

My husband works for a hedge fund so I am not eligible for the naturalization.

Do you know if the reentry permit or returning resident visa could work in my case? Also, do you know if obtaining a spouse kind of visa for another country would terminate my green card immediately? Or would my GC be good for a few more months after my departure?

Hello everybody,

I am a GC holder since Jan 2013 and I am currently applying to remove the conditional status of my GC. My husband just learned that his job is moving him to Japan at the end of January. We don't know how long we will stay in Japan but most likely at least a couple years. I will receive a spouse visa to live in Japan. I will need to travel back and forth between the US and Japan for while because I need to do some extensive dental work.

Is there any way I can keep my US status while I live in Japan? Do I lose my status automatically when i get a spouse visa for another country? Should I apply for a returning resident visa or is not worthed if I get a Japan visa? If I don't automatically lose my GC, can I

Thank you!

Hi everyone! I am applying for AOS but my F1 visa expired 10 days ago. What is my current status? Do I put out-of-status F1 on my I-485? Thank you very much!

Hello everybody, I noticed that some of the forms that I printed from the USCIS website have barcodes on the bottom of each page. Are these barcodes mandatory? If so where can i find the forms with barcodes? I don't see the barcodes on my computer but the barcodes on some forms appear on my husband's work computer. Thank you very very much!

Thank you so much everybody! I think we are considering the K 1 visa. It seems to be the fastest way to get back here. Can we file the I -129F form before I head back for my home country?

Hi everyone,

Can me and my fiance file the I-129F form while I am still in the US or do I have to be outside of the US when this happen?

Thank you very much!

Hi everybody,

I met my boyfriends in college about 3 years ago and we have been living together for over a year now. I entered the US 5 years ago on F 1 Visa and after I graduated college I got the1 year OPT extenuation. My OPT expired last week and now I am taking advantage of the 2 month grace period that I got after my OPT expired. My passport also expired on July 3rd. My boyfriend proposed to me and now we are trying to find the best way to approach this situation.

I know that I need to have a valid passport in order to fill out all the paperwork, but I will have to go back to my homecountry to get that passport (If I try to get one through one of the embassies here in the US, the procedure takes about 4 months and I am not sure if I could stay here with my expired visa for that long). I was wondering if I go home and get my passport if I would be able to come back to the US and apply for the marriage paperwork from here.

Also I was wondering if it matters where my boyfriend and I get married and where the interviews take place.

I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Thank you!
