Hi all!

Is there a VALID list or website where I can find employers that are visa/green card sponsors??

I believe it would generally be the H1B Visa.

Thanks!

Is anyone familiar with I-526, E-1, E-2 forms, visas?

I wrote but got a very generic reply. So that's not going to be helpful.

I researched and search their website, but again, no luck.

I'm sure there's a way, even if it is by obtaining a Visa, but I'm stumped on what it may be. Any other ideas??

Thanks for the reply! What if the country is not a part of the treaty country list?

Hi all!

Does anyone know what the requirements and/or process is that one needs to take in order to move his/her existing business from Europe to the USA?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you!

It was USCIS, California. The overall process took about 6 months.

Yay!! Finally! Card production ordered for I-751! We had a RFE too. It went pretty quick! It's so hard to believe! Thank you all for all your help!! You've been a great support throughout this process! Next step... applying for Citizenship. I hope that won't be as much of a pain as this!! How long does my husband have to wait before he can apply? I heard after 3 years of marriage, then I heard after 5.

Thank you again!! Good luck to everyone!!

Hello fello Hungarian!

I would send in as much as possible. Send statements from the beginning of your marriage to the present. We had a Request for more evidence sent to us, even though we had sent what we had thought was everything. Some other ideas in addition to what aidan80 said:

- Copy of your marriage certificate

- Joint Credit Card Statements

- Copies of Utility bills

- Copy of lease agreement or home

- Copies of travel itineraries, boarding passes (if you have them)

- Letter/Affidavits from friends who have known you since you've been married or before

- Anything that would show one another as a beneficiary

- Copies of hotel and/or dinner receipts from any of trips the 2 of you may have taken

- Any copies of Anniversary, Holiday cards addressed to both of you

- We went as far as sending copies of emails we sent to each other

Hope this helps!

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies!

I don't want to give myself extra work, but like the Old Dominion said, it may raise eyebrows as to why we did it and I'd rather be safe then sorry. Ugh! What a pain!!

Shoot! Now I've got to rescan everything. I didn't think we had to be this personal. :-/

Another question... do I need to send all the paperwork I already sent in? Copy of GC, etc...

Hi all!

I just have a quick question. We've gathered all our financial papers together. Do they need to see the actual amounts or is it ok to black them out? For example, if something was $123.54, i blacked out the $123. So all they see is the .54.

I did this with everything. Even our lease. Eek! Worried!!

Thanks!!!

Thanks for everyone's replies.

I'm starting to think the same, that they just pull people at random.

I ran into someone, who didn't get an RFE, but was called in for interview. They own a house together, etc...

I also thought about sending more recent statements as well as statements dated back to when we first got married. We are getting letters from neighbors, friends, employers. I hope all this will be enough. Good luck to all of you!!

I already said, it's USCIC. CA.

Sorry for the misinterp. All we are is stressed and worried at these points. Easily to mistake.

I didn't know I could change things over to joint. Duh me! I will look into getting these done.

Thanks!

We did bombard them, or so we thought, with things with our names jointly and individually at the same address!

Most bills, such as DWP, Phone don't usually get signed up as joint.

No, we haven't bought anything major since we've been married. Why is that such a big surprise? We're not millionaires. We live comfortably, but that's it. The biggest purchases would be trips to visit his family and other random trips. We sent boarding passes, itineraries, photos....

And just I'm not here to complain! I'm here to get help and advice. Geez!!

We've only been married for 2 1/2 years.

We haven't done any major purchases or filed for any loans.

The problem with the returns, is that mine was still listed at my old address, my parents address, but that is still a very valid address that I sent an explanation as well as bills that are still being sent there. It is also the address we had on our initial forms, since we did not have our apartment at that time. Is that still ok?

We don't have anything showing one another as beneficiaries. These aren't things we've thought of.

We submitted 2 affidavits proving our marriage of good faith. But we are asking a neighbor in our apartment complex to write another, since he see's us daily as well and has somewhat known us since we've moved in.

We don't have the finances to afford life insurance at this time.

But doesn't applying for something NOW raise red flags???

We don't have a joint checking or 401K. Only savings.

Our health insurance is separate because our place of employment.

We only have 1 joint CC and that we sent. I think that's messed up that they would force you to get more "debt" for proof. Or spend more money out of pocket for policies, etc...!

We don't have any department stores, gas cards... either.

I would worry about signing on to anything new as it would more than likely raise a red flag. Don't you guys think the same?

So can anyone tell me why it is so hard for us who are all doing this thing lawfully and by THEIR rules? Yet there are SOOOO many illegal people living amongst us, who have jobs, get welfare, are buying new homes, new cars..... And the state seems to cater to them even though NONE of them have filed any paperwork, etc.... It's so unjust!!!!!!

Thanks for the replies!

Ya, I've been corrected on the life insurance part.

Any other documents we can provide showing good faith of marriage?

It's ridiculous how ####### they are!

We can't file joint returns before of their requested time, which is December. What's an amended joint tax? My husband works a lot of overtime and has extra income, expenses n' such. Wouldn't that make it complicated?

Life insurance? We may be too young for that.

I don't know what other financial ties we can show. And wouldn't it cause a red flag if we were to just get things NOW?

Ugh! What a pain!

We sent to USCIS and it was sent around June 2008.

We submitted:

Copies of tax returns - NOT submitted as we filed separate.

Joint savings or checking - Filed joint SAVINGS

Copies of Ins policies - Filed copies

Copies of CC Statements - Filed copies

Copies of loans - Filed Apartment rental agreement

Any other documentation that shows marriage was in good faith - Filed affidavits, photos, itineraries....

All it says is we are given until 12/2/08 to submit requested info.

Evidence of good faith marriage. In order to assist in establishing your eligibility for removal, it is requested you submit additional documentation. Please submit any or all of the following.

Financial Records - In order to assist.... you may submit evidence of joint ownership assets and joint responsibility for liabilities for the past 2 years. Such evidence:

Copies of tax returns

Joint savings or checking

Copies of Ins policies

Copies of CC Statements

Copies of loans

Any other documentation that shows marriage was in good faith

Hi!

We just received an I-797E Notice of Action in the mail. They are requeting more evidence. I don't know what else to send. We already sent pretty much everything we had on the list of what they are requesting and additional things, like notarized affidavits, photos, etc... The only 2 things I can think of is more recent bills that I can send them. We didn't have current Insurance bills, as their billing cycles are from year to year. We just received that. And also CC statements and copies of cards. We blacked out most of the numbers, but you can see that they all link up. Maybe we should show more numbers?? Can anyone help as to what we need to send? I tried calling USCIS office, they said they can not tell me what to send.

Thank you!!

Hmm... ok thanks! I don't understand why their representatives tell you otherwise. :-/

I'm confused! My husbands GC expires 8/2/08. We are traveling out of the US 9/2008. We've already filed the removal of conditions and he has already finished his biometrics.

I called USCIS... one person said to get the I-551 stamp, the other said to file I-131 re-entry permit. So which one?

Is anyone familiar with the USCIS INFOPASS? What "kind of service" do I need? I clicked on a couple, but none seemed to guide me to getting the stamp.

Please help!!

Thank you!!!!
