Im sorry this happened to you and your wife also, me and my wife went there not knowing they closed, didnt get any phone call, and no update online yet, i just got off the phone with uscis rep, he said they didnt reschedule yet and to wait 30 days from the date of the interview and if i didnt hear anything then call and make infopass , i asked him if we will get updates online when they reschedule he said yes,, ill wait few days and call again, this is frustrating

Just an update..

We contacted customer service yesterday and spoke to a nice lady .. we mentioned about the call regarding 2/26 appointment.. so far no document received related to the change of date.. she advised us to go to the office for the interview on 2/26 and did put a request for urgent infopass... few hours later some one called back and told us since they gave you a date through the phone   the change probably done internally.. so they are not able to see from the central system.. so just make it for the appointment.. the person also told there were few other calls received with same concern. 

Anyway we went to the office today.. security did not ask anything.. 8th floor security told us go to window 59 .. and they never asked any question regarding the date on the letter.. anyway she had the interview.. passed the test.. but  she was claiming for citizenship after 3 yrs (marriage) and the officer gave her a no decision at this time letter.. we will have to wait for the decision in the mail.. 

anyway the interview part is over

The problem is NYC office does not allow any infopass appointment so have to wait for them to call back 😞

Hello all,

My n400 interview was scheduled 2 days ago, feb 12, at 230pm at federal plaza, reached at 130 to be told by the guard that the office closed at one due to the weather and all appts after 1pm are cancelled and they will reschedule in couple of weeks, now i have no idea what to do, how long it will take to reschedule, and will i get an update on the online account, if anyone had the same experiance or know whats next, please let me know

Same thing happended to my wife. Her interview was scheduled for the afternoon and they closed the office. We received a call from Office Mackanzie informing that the office closing early and appointment will be reschedule to Feb 26. 

I started to check her account each day for update but so far no update.. we just called USCIS and the customer rep said so far they did not reschedule a date yet and he does not know why.. and he said if the officer said about a certain date then you should take an infopass to visit the office to resolve it. He did made a request in the system for infopass. He said they will call within 48 hours

I tried to use USCIS site for infopass appointment and the office currently not accepting infopass appointments  🤢

My mother in law got her 10 year green card recently.  She's been with us for about 18 months now, and have never worked in the US.

 

What are my options to get her health insurance?

In the old days liberal states like CA,NY used to cover every one regardless of worked or not. But now based on NY experience you can apply using health exchange but it will take some time to get the insurance bec she has no income and never worked.

Hi! Congratulations! Quick question! 

What type of envelopes your approval letter and green card were mailed? 

In particular, does it says "do not forward" on it? I worry about my address change. Thank you 

Approval letter came in a regular envelope with regular postage stamp. 

GC came in a priority envelope.. see below pic the small size. The envelope is specifically made for USCIS bec it has a big window on the right side.. No signature required so the mail carrier left in the mail box. 

you read nine hundred and eighty 

Also you should write clearly don't script like a doctor

Are you an insurance agent ? Giving advise to intentionally violate laws is inappropriate. You know that GC holder is not eligible for medicaid for first five years. 

There is no violation of law. Federal government does not decide who gets state benefits. The state government adminster the benefits to their residents. According to policies passed by the local government he (usc) and his lpr spouse will be eligible for healthcare benefits based on his magi. 

He need to apply through ny Heath exchange and they will ask for pay stubs and copy of gc from lpr.

I think bad4tatt is righ tthough.  I dont think me and her would qualify for any health insurance or assistance.  I plan to sponsor my wife because I have 100k in savings.  I myself personally dont have health insurance because I didnt apply as my savings account would prevent me from being eligible.  I do make less than 28k but my money in my savings account would make me ineligible and would possibly make her ineligible as well.  Should I halt the process until I get a job with health insurance I guess?

That's not true.. I have helped many with medicaid/obamacare.  NY state does not look at your savings or resources for health insurance. They had limit on resources before obamacare like you can own one home which need to be your primary residence. After Affordable care act passed no resources are counted towards your eligibility unless you are 65 years or above with disability or requires nursing home care. Your eligibility is only based on Modified Adjusted Gross Income.  

You should not halt. bring your spouse in

Hi guys,

I’m a June 2017 filer of the form I-751 with VSC! When I track my status online it refers to the application as CR-89

That statement means that the biometric portion of the case has been successfully transferred; it does not, however, mean that the petition itself was approved.

5 hours ago, jandtee said:

The CR1 visa has income requirements so that the spouse won't rely on government assistance right away I heard.  I plan to sponsor her by assets because my salary for 2017 was low.  Is it true that if she comes to America she won't be eligible for public assistance (such as health insurance) as a green card holder? I would have to wait until she's a citizen right?

Since you are in NY income lower than $28K both will eligible for medicaid.. Your spouse just need GC.. I think below $39K you still eligible to get an essential plan for $0.. above that income will cost $300-600 in monthly premium. This is based on 2017 rates 

Getting benefits based on state by state. NY definitely yes.. Texas very hard unless spouse start to work

Great question! Also, if sponsor needs a co-sponsor b/c of low-income, the co-sponsor could be on the hook for benefits obtained. Don't think about her getting benefits - think about getting a better job and working harder to support her. She isn't marrying the taxpayers.

This one is never enforced. States do administration of their own healthcare benefits. If they enforce it..   

Which country ? 

Both first time marriage ? Age diff ?

Priority date is October 2003. Petition sometime in 2010.  Do you know your friend's info? 

They have interview on Nov 28th but he  is not included I will find out the info 

Maybe they had short wait for approval. Your case have 7 yrs waiting time so just need to find out when Oct 2003 became current. Just subtract waiting time from that age 

Just now, Dwipal said:

Yikes. I guess I'll find out after the interview 

it depends how long he waited for I-130 approval

Should know in a month or so. Waiting for interview letter. 

I had a friend his bro only 27 but they rejected CSPA request.

May i eligibile for immegrat with my family as current priority date is 22 oct 2003. 

 

Thanks sir for your kind support

I think the visa available date is not I-130 approval date. The visa available date is when the priority date shows up in the visa bulletin. 

Still you waited for 6 years for I-130 approval so can deduct 6 years from your age at the time priority became current

My brother in law is 29 and his name was also not on the website. When I filled out his parents information AOS documents, I wrote his name saying that he would immigrate with them. Also i wrote a letter requesting CSPA. I also sent all his documents along with his parents documents.  After several months, his name showed up on the website and I was able to fill out DS260.  

 

The only people that can decide if you can go is the embassy. I dont think lawyers can fight this or do anything special to get cspa approved.  

 

In your case, Did your parents submit documents for you? I would say you go with your parents and take all documents that you would submit to USCIS. 

 

 

Did he obtain the visa ??

This is our story. Evidently being divorced is more of a crime than being in jail, being unemployed, or any number of other things. I seriously don't know what else it could be. He is honest, has never been in trouble. Two of his kids have finished Cambridge (Had to throw that in, I'm proud). He is a tour owner by trade, but still has his export business to Serbia. I'm a teacher of 43 years with no arrest or anything. I have no kids, and am a respectable citizen.

 

That's our story. I'm not embarrassed to be divorced. I can say that I probably rushed into a couple of them, but as far as I know, that's not a crime.

 

 

Divorce is not a crime but for U.S immigration its a red flag. You had 4 divorces and the previous one came on a K1 so the consulate will suspect this marriage also will not last.  They also suspect that the intent of the applicant is only to get GC due to other things not usual in Pak, huge age diff (male is 16 yrs younger), and religion. 

Received our card today. 7 days after card mailed 

Also received my parents renewed gc. All are old design.

our gc signature is waived but my parents card does have signature. Any clue 

With K-1 he need to spend min 4-5 months in US. 

I think you should send the green card with application (make a copy for you). Also send the approval letter with note stating it was DHS error. 

I think your route is H1B but I think Pharmacist is not in the list of specialty occupation, so there is no chance to obtain a visa with pharmacy work experience. 

Also another reason some of the degrees from overseas is not accepted here. Pharmacy is one of them. I know its state by state case. 

 He need to attend pharmacy school and pass the board exam to practice in U.S.

I haven't seen the application for every state, but I know at least in some states, there is a question of residency... if you are not living in that state (even illegally), then you'd be lying when you answer yes to the question.  The government can and does prosecute people for taking benefits to which they are not entitled.

 

The whole thing is totally irrelevant and ridiculous since OP was planning on coming via a I-130 anyway.  A 19 year old doesn't have the fore-planning ability to really think this through.  OP needs to man up and tell his wife that flying halfway around the world when pregnant is not a good idea, especially with the provisions of the I-130 granting rights to the child born abroad.

Yes NY requires residency.  I think 90 days in the state

Guys, It just happened to be born while her mother was on an urgent visit to see her relatives there that time. For whom who accused that it was only for citizenship ! and my wife's siblings are non Us citizens either so if it was only for obtaining citizenship My wife's mother would have done the same to all her children. Anyway this is not our point of discussion now. We're in the process of the green card and we want our baby to be born their to save us trouble of filing another forms for him\her ( since we're already in the process to go there anyway ). and either way, she's a US citizen nobody can say why she wants to give birth in the US, it's her homeland ! she's free to give birth there for her son\daughter in her country!

 

 my wife is 19 and a student. And as what most people say, any US citizen who's an unemployed and has no income can get a medical insurance that covers either full or half of the costs.

please if you have a good advice for the situation, have it commented otherwise no need to slide the topic to another topic and start investigating. Thank you  

You getting a visitor visa is the main issue..very slim chance.. 

How many weeks your wife is pregnant. I know some states does provide free insurance to pregnant women and unauthorized children under 21. NY state being one of them. The only issue is need to start the emergency medicaid application process at the beginning of the pregnancy. They might deny or only partially cover it if you come in like 6 months pregnant and request for medicaid. 

other option is pay from your pocket.

Hi Guys,

I and my wife are planning to buy a house, I am a conditional permanent resident and it expired a couple of months ago. I have applied for removal of the condition but the wait time on CSC is around 14 months. Can I apply and get a mortgage while my case is still pending and not having valid Green Card? I spoke with a local credit union and they said they require a valid Green Card. I was even denied an investment account with the receipt from USCIS. If I get I551 stamped on my passport, will it help? We would get a mortgage with my Wife's name but her income is low and credit is not so good. 

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!!

It depends on the loan officer and underwriter reviewing the file. Some lenders will accept. Don’t expect any small lenders to accept it. You can try with chase, wells or bac. 

I received loan approval with extension letter. It was almost clear to close but the seller could not give me a clear title so the closing was delayed. I was just waiting for the seller to be clear of all the issues but looks like now the bank might ask for copy of renewed gc 

Thank God we have the approval letter
