    I-751 April 2018 Filers

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    NOA1 arrived yesterday!  Now two questions:

     

    1.  Should he travel with it everywhere he goes?  I've scanned a copy to our emails and made 3 extra hardcopies, but it's the original he should have on his person?

     

    2. Can we take the restricted SS card and the letter and try to have the "With DHS Authorization" removed?  We never did that while the conditional green card was valid.  Bummer. 

     

    Thanks!

    Adding Spouse to Apartment Lease - Question

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by mondix

    We will be sending in our I-751 in the next couple of days.  Although my husband has been living in my apartment since his arrival on July 1, 2015, he is not on the lease. 

     

    The management company has been giving me the runaround since late 2015 about adding him.  I'm pretty sure it's because I've lived in this rent-stabilized apartment in NYC since 2009, the rent is way under market, and they're not interested in anyone having succession rights.

     

    I have email correspondence between myself and the management company requesting to add him to the lease, which shows that they will only agree to add him once my current lease is up for renewal in November 2018.  This is against the law.  I also have an email inquiry I sent to the NYC Department of Housing and Community Renewal inquiring about the addition of my spouse to the lease, and the Department's subsequent reply that my management's refusal is in fact against the law.  I also filed a formal complaint with DHCR and the Office of Rent Administration, and I have the official notice of receipt and docket number for the case. 

     

    I want to know if I should add all of this evidence of my attempt to add my husband to the lease, or if I should exclude it entirely.  We have a joint Con Edison account at our apartment address, NYS Drivers Licenses showing the joint address, and multiple items of mail addressed to my husband at our apartment.  

     

    In general, we have lots of other evidence of our marriage and lives together, co-mingling of finances, and we have a son who was born to our marriage in March of 2016. 

     

    Thoughts about adding this apartment BS to our ROC petition?

    N/A (?)

    Hi, 

     

    So the instructions on the I-751 indicate to type or print "N/A," into fields where the question doesn't apply to me, but the fillable form doesn't allow me to enter a "/"  so I'd be entering "NA" into the fields that don't apply to me.  

     

    Which of the following should I do?

     

    1. Leave the spaces blank

    2. Type "NA" without the "/"

    3. Print the completed form and hand write "N/A" into the applicable fields

     

    Sorry if this is a silly question.  I want to leave no stone unturned here. 

     

    Thanks!

    I have a similar situation - we haven't added hubby to the lease.  If we do it now - we're up for removal in April 2018, would there be any red flag as to why we didn't do it sooner?

     

    He's been on the utility bill for 2 years, joint accounts and health insurance show the same address, his driver license shows the same address as mine, etc. 

     

    Thanks!

    sorry - removal of conditions. 

     

    god. removal is a scary word with used out of context!

    My mother is threatening legal action

    in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits

    Posted · Edited by mondix

    My mother is not a co-sponsor. And I've been in counseling since the age of 18, most intensively prior to and during my pregnancy about my own childhood and my thoughts and desires for my child as a mother, all of which empowered me to make the choice to cut her out of my life.   

     

    Thanks guys for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

    in Effects of Major Family Changes on Immigration Benefits

    Hello,  

     

    My husband arrived July 2015, we married the same month and we have the most amazing 1 year old baby boy. Our life has assembled more smoothly than I could have ever imagined. Until my moth got involved. 

     

    My mother has always been mentally unstable, although she remains undiagnosed because she refuses to admit that she needs to seek help. My childhood and early years were characterized by her abused, mentally physically and emotionally. I have distanced myself throughout the years, I went to boarding school in high school, left for college in NY and never returned him, and sought haven among friends and their parents throughout the year who often cared for me when I needed to escape from her. I have a 38 year old brother that I was very close to, but she's driven a wedge between us also and we no longer speak. He has 2 boys, one of whom is the same age as my son. 

     

    And despite everything she's done to me, I've continued to respond to her attempts to rebuild our relationship, because I long for the love of a mom, but it always end poorly, and the. another couple of months to years before we speak again. 

     

    Mistakenly, I informed my mother of my engagement and pregnancy and she was less than thrilled. But she came around at first, was excited to meet my husband and was also excited for a grandchild. But she can't stay sane for too long, and after I had the baby I decided that I couldn't be a happy mother to my son while my own mother was causing me so much stress and heartache. 

     

    For my husband's K1 interview evidence she wrote a letter that stated how much she loved me and wanted me to happy and that she supported our marriage. Now that I have distanced her from us and won't let her be a part of our lives because of how she treats me, she is claiming that she signed "legal immigration documents" as though he and I are committing crime of some sort by avoiding her and not introducing her to his family who resides in the states, too.

     

    This woman is crazy enough to allege that we are doing something unlawful, and it worries me how far she can take this and I need to know if her ultimate goal of breaking up my family and having my husband removed from the US could actually happen based on the false information she may provide to USCIS.  

     

    She claims to have spoken to an attorney who says she has a case against us, but that could be lies and crazy talk. I don't know if this letter if support gives her any standing, or if I am legally required to maintain contact with her and share my life with her because she wrote it. I should note that the letter she wrote was never asked for by the consular officer at the time of my husbands K1 interview. I was present at the interview and witnessed it with my own eyes. The officer asked him 3 questions and approved him without question. Her stupid ###### letter, like her, are not needed and wanted, and I need to make sure I have some legal protection from her. 

     

    Anything damaging she could say about us would be a total lie. We have done every single thing by the book because we are REAL! We married with my best friend as the witness, and she was also present for the birth of my child. He has a social security card driver's license and works a great job, our names are on an apartment lease together,  WE HAVE A BABY, shared bank accounts, he's on my health insurance and we are the beneficiaries of each other's life insurance and pension plans. I know, and the people in my life know, that we are a bonafide marraige, but my mother will do anything she can to allege otherwise and hurt me and my family. 

     

    What can I do protect us?

     

     

    Please help!

     

    Medical Hardship Question - Do I need counseling appts, too?

    in Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)

    See if there are any counseling centers in your area that offer sessions on a sliding scale based on income. Do a Google search in your areas for "low cost psychotherapy" or "mental health counseling sliding scale."

    If there is a graduate school or university nearby you can try the school of social work website. There might be resources there for you or ones they can point you to.

    Many social work graduate students often in preparation for their licensure take internships and offer services though centers that provide counseling on a sliding scale. At least here they do.

    I hope this helps and good luck to you!

    Here's a list: http://www.alliancecommunitypc.org/documents/LowCostorSlidingScaleTherapyOptions_ACPCwebsite.pdf

    Also - needing therapy to deal with the impact of these crazy processes on your health and wellbeing is valid and real. Anyone having to deal with the emotional trauma of this process could probably benefit from a little talk therapy, and I'm sure many have, including myself. It's just some of us aren't on the position of having to prove it. If therapy is something you want to add to your petition, be open-minded about how it could actually benefit you in real life, not just with your petition. At least then it might feel a little less fake in your heart.

    October 2015 AOS Filers

    in Adjustment of Status Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Ahh! So this morning we get a text that shows the travel doc was approved, and it turns out the approval we received yesterday was for EAD! Still a blessing, but man, I have the worst baby brain/attention to detail. I'm lucky I even got out a decent AOS application with how spacey I am.

    So EAD/AP approved, and last update for i-485 was November 5th indicating the case is ready for interview to be scheduled.

    I hope everyone gets approvals, interviews, cards very soon!!! <3
