yep we have a little waiting to do...

we can apply in march '10

hahahah he edited it.

i smell a rat.

anywhoo,

thanks everyone and good luck

did this just change or something??

i am showing on about 15 other websites that for a K1 who is married to the same citizen spouse the whole time (3 years) from the date of the condition residence green card CAN APPLY for citizenship.

this is contraty to what you guys are saying....

will keep looking.

tnx

if you look on the conditional card it says at the top "permanent resident card"

and its the I 551 on the back too. so it counts.

dont give out bad advice to people cause they could be waiting extra years.

i vaguely remember back when doing the K1 that it would be 1 year after we got the lifting of conditions....

so if you guys are waiting extra time, and have been married to the same person the whole time (3 years on a K1) then go ahead and apply.

OOPS she can apply for citizenship 90 days before the 3rd year of her GC so in March of 2010 she can file the N400

why is that an oops hehehehe

we have been living together for 3 years in marriage come this december.

does that qualify for exemption to apply in december?

thanks for the quick reply.

Hello,

just got my wifes green card in the mail!!

she was a K1 visa originally.

when is the earliest can file for citizenship?

thanks!

we got the card in the mail yesterday!!!

from K1 to AOS to lifting..

WE ARE DONE WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

now to check up on the citizenship process.

1 year from now my wife will go for that.

i hope you all have a trouble free and quick a process as i did...

good luck

got the email today,

card production ordered ,

sent in paperwork in end of march.

3.5 months..

not bad VSC!!

hey i even sent some funny pictures with captions to make em laugh.

ohhh denver nice!!

i was stationed at ft carson in colo springs between iraq deployments....

i miss colorado!!....

longs peak... been up it?

great hike.

My total packet was 40 pages plus a photo book (another 10 pages). Those that try to send too much are putting themselves at a disadvantage - I think of the process as this - "How can I make the examiner's job easier?" To do this - I list everything in my cover letter (and I number those items - e.g. 1. Bank return Dec 08 - 2. utility Bill Dec 08 and the evidence itself is numbered (corresponding to the cover letter) - this way if the cover letter doesn't meet his/her requirement, then he doesn't need to go through my proof - if it does, he can check whichever piece he wants to check. I have worked as a tax administrator for 20+ years and have thrown out boxes of supporting evidence if it doesn't meet my criteria (I realized some tax preparers were making money by printing out more pages of unnecessary and unneeded 'proof'. They must charge by the number of pages). However, you must feel comfortable with your amount of proof - I do not believe in sending too much. Good Luck

thanks, yah thats how i feel too.

plus im a 2 year iraq veteran. if u cant trust me... then who can you trust?? (still in the IRR too!)... its in my cover page too becuase thats how we met, online....

If you are thinking to send 25 pages, you should wait for RFE letter later. Good luck!!!!

no thats 25 lb of proof.

my baby boy, my son.

not 25 pages.

holy $##$#

150 pages!!! wow!!

somehow i think i dont have enough now ahahhaa

well i have a 25 lb proof my son

ill just take him with me to the interview and let him run around a while.

thats my proof on legs.

hahaha

Hello,

well the i751 packet came to about 20 pages or soo and pics..

should i punch holes in it and put it in a binder like the K1 and AOS packets??

or just slap em in a mailing envelope and off we go??

im sure you all remember the k1 packets if u did em,..... we had a process for that too hhahahaha...

i used the 2 hole top folders for that one...

The petitioner is THE sponsor of the alien in the case of K-1 visa that is the US Citizen fiance(e) no exception in the case of I-864, anyone else can be a co sponsor.

ok thanks for the quick response

i barely met for last year 18K

they need to pay the military alot more......

hey guys,

just a quick question...

my income is a little lacking since i have started my own corporation and am growing it... have been for a while now but just started doing businuess officially this january...

well as i transitioned from the military last year i barely meet the minimum requirements for sponsorship...(give the military a raise!!!)

soo.....

i have a co sponsor... but since i am the husband of a k1 visa holder who i am sponsoring...,

can i put the co sponsor who made 110 thousand last year as Main sponsor and me down as the co sponsor???

or would that look really bad?

thanks

becuase i noticed on this form how it is worded it says i am the 1st or 2nd of 2 joint sponsors...

okay maybe a dumb question but i just dont want another RFE

no i dont have a 1099 yet cuase im a S chapter corporation so not really an employee...

havent really been keeping the books right yet... but will set up proper accounts in the near future...

any insight?

thanks

NO MORE RFE's!!!
