you are gonna get yourself arrested if you tell them you are going to get married again even though you are not divorced. it would raise big red flags on your status and him too.

Arrested, hahahhahaahhahahahahahaha lol. good one!

Thanks!

I heard of Lake placid in the state of New York, I've never heard of Lake placid in Florida. I live in Florida, in Miami to be exact, but I'm sure Miami is very different than the small town that you are potentially moving to. All I can say is that Florida is beautiful, the weather is great and life is affordable.

Hello dear VJ community, I want to share one unfortunate experience from my life which I'm so worried will affect my future application for Green Card. To say briefly, I am married to a U.S. citizen since 2014 , I've been to the United States two times using my B1B2 visa. Never overstayed. During my second visit though, I was stupid enough to make a bad mistake - while shopping for groccerries didn't pay for everything .. using the self checking kiosk. So it was 27$ worth we haven't payed for but still have the check for the rest. It was mainly vegetables and a magazine. I still terribly regret that and would never ever make the same mistake in my life. They called police but they just smiled at us and let us go. They told us we would have to pay a fine and no court would be involved. But after couple weeks we received a notice from the court. I got fingerprinted and at the end had to pay fine of 150%. No arrest was involved. For 2 years now,me and my husband are living in my home country but are soon planning to apply for my Green Card. We are also planning to have a baby in the meantime here. So our plan is to move to the States with the baby. I never had any sort of conviction anywhere. This is my one and only. I still feel terrible and regretful about it, it was a huge lack of judgement from my side. My question would be - Is there a big chance I will be denied Green Card due to this?

Lets make it clear, you were NEVER arrested, I believe you were charged with a crime and issued a notice to appear.

The most important question here is : DID YOU PLEAD GUILTY TO A CRIME?

if yes, then you were in fact convicted. You will need to find out what charges you plead guilty to, and you may need a waiver for your green card application.

If no, then you shouldn't have a problem. If you are ever asked about it by USCIS, just be honest and let them know that it was a simple mistake.

Will I get any of the money back? Am I at risk of being deported? I have a flight back to canada next week and am coming back to finish classes the following week. Am i okay to travel or will i not be allowed back in the USA. Thank you.

Get a criminal lawyer.

You will get the money back when your business with the court is over. If you need the money back sooner, your lawyer may file a motion with the court to return the bail money.

You will not get deported.

After your trip to Canada, you should be allowed back in the USA but you might be heavily questioned by CBP upon your return. Keep in mind that admitting guilt or admitting to any wrong doing to a CBP officer may prevent you of re-entering the USA in the future.

Once again get a criminal lawyer ASAP.

Since your I-360 is approved, in the near future(3-6 months) you should receive an I-485 interview notice. After you attend your i-485 interview and it gets approved, you will then receive your Green card. In the mean time, if you want to work, you will need an EAD. People normally receive their EAD within 90 days after filing. Since you filed your I-765 7 months ago, you should book an infopass appointment to find out what's going on with the processing of your I-765 application.

Avoid the headache, and book a straight flight from Canada to Mexico

Hire a criminal lawyer to represent you while you are gone, that is the only way you can get your hearing postponed.

I was hoping they could give it back to me at the info pass appointment or i could get some answers on the status of my case.

I cant believe they would mail a denial decision without stating a reason for why it was denied.

This is all so strange to me

On what basis are you adjusting your status, family(marriage), employment? Or ?

According to where this is posted, you are adjusting through marriage, uscis should definitely justify the denial.

Get your lawyers working asap.

A) Won't it look suspicious as I already got refused before 2 months for a visitor visa (a friend of mine in California invited me + sent a letter but I was refused) and now I find a school to go there and pay a hefty tuition for only 7 weeks?

B) Will getting refused again make my future applications even more difficult?

C) How can I show proof of coming back when they don't even look at the supporting documents?

Thank you in advance,

My opinion is that you will be denied again.

A) yes

B) it might

C) they do look at the supporting documents

just want to know if she cancel all those document if it will affect my ROC

, will i recieve back my i-94 since the application was denied?

File I-102 in order to get a replacement one. It does cost $330, so I'm not sure if going that way is the best thing for you.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-102

i read somewhere that a passporr stamp is needed? what are the requirements for this?

And also what do we need to apply adter this? is it the 10 years GC or naturalization?

all answers are very much appreciated. Thank you ??

You need no stamp, your GC will be sent to you shortly.

Not to be rude but I won't sign that.

How dose it look for me? I am hearing disabled, having a very hard time to consult with an attorney to take my case because I can't do a initial phone consultation, and they wont offer email consultation.

Hey guys,

For those who have moved from State to another State, how do you guys do it? Do you visit the State before moving? Do you get a job interview/get a job at the State you are moving to first? Sell your car and buy one in the new residing State or drive all the way there? What are the things you look into when moving to a new State?

I would like to know more tips on how you guys start off with moving from State to State. As many information as possible!

Greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Where do you live now? and why do you want to move?

Most people move because of job opportunities or love. Look online on Career/jobs sites (indeed.com/CareerBuilder.com etc...) to see if you can find jobs that interests you and what state they are in, apply for the jobs and wait for a response.

Some people move for the lower cost of living, or a more children friendly environment. For example some people leave NYC because a nice house there can cost a million dollars compared to a similar house in Florida which could cost a quarter of that or even less.

I moved from Canada to the US with my car, drove it across the border. I then moved to 3 different states, and I always kept my car. I either drove my car state to state or had it shipped depending on the price of gas and how much it cost to ship.

I definitely suggest you to research and visit the cities that you are interested in moving to.

So about that wall...

with all these tunnels, doesn't seem like that wall would do much about the drugs coming in to the US(and even into Canada) from MX

Pls I don't know where to start from.I came with k 1 visa,got married within 90days,filed for employment authorization and AOS.I ve done finger print ,my ex was asked to submit affidavit of support within 87days which has passed.am a victim of DV and my ex siezed all my immigration documents and probable my work permit too.wat do I do

Things will probably not get better. Get out of the house immediately, call the police to report him. Do you have any friends or family here in the US, try to go stay with them.

Japan had an earthquake right before and after this earthquake. Are they on the same plates?

No. They are not related

Hi everyone,

One moving question - we've tried to change the address direct on USCIS but we've had issues because only one of the two receipt numbers on I-751 notice are working (of course) and when I type the only one that is working, the site mentions that it is not associated with the right form number (or something along those lines...).

So basically, we are unable to change the address right now. So... Is the fact that we've notified USPS to forward mail enough to at least get our green card?

We are moving tomorrow so honestly, anything beyond that, we will need to call in a couple days once we are settled.

Thanks!

You will most probably not get the green card even if your mail is forwarded with USPS. Try calling the customer service number or you will have to change your address the good old fashion way, filling out the form online, printing it out and mailing it.

Hi all,

Well my fiancé are only 2 weeks in to the K-1 journey. The last stage of interview is a ways off but was wondering if anyone has faced something similar in their case. My fiancé was illegally in the U.S. many years ago, about 10. He left voluntarily. He did receive a ticket (motor vehicle) while here. Anybody have a similar circumstance? If so, did it come up in the interview? Would it be a factor considered in approval? Thanks for feedback!

The ticket won't be an issue.

hey guys. so my (Canadian) husband & i have been married 6 years next month. he is still a canadian citizen- he has a greencard here. we were wondering what the qualifications are for me, an american citizen, to receive dual citizenship. there are some discrepencies online so i thought we'd come here for some answers. thanks!

You can't get Canadian citizenship right away just because you are married to a Canadian. Just like the US system, your husband will have to sponsor you to become a permanent resident first.

Hello all,

I want to visit New Orleans. But my AOS is pending so if I can go there with only my passport or not? I entried U.S by K1 visa.

Thanks all

A valid passport is all you need to travel within the United states

I live in TX and my husband lives in Calgary. He is immigrating here and we FINALLY have an interview date.

Our interview is scheduled for May 9th. My husband and I are actually flying back from a vacation in Iceland on May 7th. We land in JFK airport in NY around 10:30am on May 7th. So instead of flying back to Fort Worth, TX - we are going to peel off in NY and head to Montreal - it's only a 6 hour drive. Because flights are so expensive, we are thinking of just renting a car and driving it to Montreal. It appears it will cost us about $500 to do this with Enterprise rental car - I was thrilled to see that we can actually drive a car and leave it at a Enterprise car rental location in a different country.

My only concern is driving over the border. We'll have our letter and interview packet. I'm just wondering if border security is going to have questions about why a woman from TX and a man from Calgary are driving across the border in NY. If they stop us, we'll obviously have all the supporting travel documents, and since we are being honest, i can't imagine any trouble.

But, I just wanted to post our plan to see if anyone can think of any unforeseen problem that I haven't thought of yet?

Appreciate any thoughts or advice!

I have driven from NYC to Montreal soo many times. You will have no problems at the border entering Canada, you guys are married and both citizens(USA/Canada). The Canadian border agents will probably ask you why you are going to Montreal, how long you are staying and when you are leaving back to Texas. Just answer the questions the agent asks you, don't volunteer any information and be truthful with the border agent. If you follow this, you won't have any issues.

Also If your husband is driving the American rental car into Canada, the border agent might ask him a few questions about the car as well as the car rental agreement. If you drive the car, the agent won't ask you much about the car. Keep in mind that if you are dropping the car in Montreal, you absolutely have to drop in at Trudeau airport.

My husband lives in the DR If I move there to be with him can I still file for a I-130 even if I'm not residing in the us at that moment. ( only plan to go for a few months) might be expecting child and want to go through this journey together.

Read this, it will answer all your questions.
