I received my new green card today with 10 yrs. I am from one of the banned countries can I still leave the country and come back? Like go to mexico

On dec 13 2018 I received a notification that my new card is being mailed. The first time I submitted my roc was in august 25 2017. I had got divorced in march 15 2018. I didn't go to any interviews or anything. I feel lucky because I skipped that part. I didn't submit any rfes regarding the bona fida. I had them prepared.  I did it all without a lawyer, just searching things up online and gathering documents and organizing my package.

Why in case history do they said they are going to notified me when a desicion is made ?? It's normal??

They did the same to me when i got the 2 yr one. What i am thinking is that tgis notification was from early today and the part that says your card is being produced happened afterwards. No worries.

I'm jealous.  Congratulations. I am getting really nervous as we are approaching that time period.

Received today the noticr of action most people been getting.  Telling me that the document extends the green card up to 18 months and to discard the old document if it is incorrect.

You already have your green card so I would not worry about it at all. The travel ban list is for those trying to get a visa here to the USA. You ALREADY have a VALID GC so don't worry about it. 

Is there a uscis link for that. I'm scared. But then i like to go there and go out w friends.

How long ago did you move? 

I lived in the u.s since 2009 and got my green card in nov 2015. 

I live in El paso, tx. I'm a nationality of one of the travel banned countries (yemen). I currently have a green card. Could I reenter the united states if I go to juarez mexico?

So I got the extension letter I mentioned above for my son, and just noticed they gave him a new receipt number which is  not the same as mine at all and the service center is YSC( Potomac center) in Maryland. He is a dependent in my case, why is his service center different than mine now, so confusing. We are going to get him stamp Sep. 10th, just wanted to ask if somebody hear abt such a thing before?! When I check this new receipt number it says case was transferred to our local office in March 5th, just like my case. Just don't understand the reason of changing cervice center for him? We never got any official transfer notices... 

I travelled to mexico often with my expired green card and the extension letter. No issues at all except for being from Yemen lol. Now I am not sure with the travel ban if I can actually travel outside the U.S or not.

August 25th 2018 I received a second document extending my green card for 6 more months (18months total of extension). Nothing else so far. I was close to make an appointment to inquire about my situation.  I was getting scared.

My wife and I filed to remove my condtional green card in sep 2017. I did my biometric finger print and was sent an extention of one year to my condtional Green Card. In December we seperated because of some incident from her behalf. In jan 2018 she filed for divorce. I am not sure what's my status for now and what to do. What if the UCIS calls me for an interview. What about the removal of condition form i signed jointly with her. Do I call the uscis and notify them. Can she cancel my green card ? I live in el paso tx. Does that mean i can't cross the border or drive to work. She also sent me the divorce papers and I signed them as we are trying to end things civil wise and not having to go to court.

Issue was resolved.  So it really shows me how the HR in my company is basic and horrible management skills. Despite submitting all the required documents they lacked the skills of hiring residents.  Although i told the HR and explained them what my new expiration date is, it took them a 3rd time to finally listen and do i. Everything has been resolved.  Thank you for your help. 

My 2 yr conditioned  gc expired and i received a notice of action document that extends my period for one year until i receive my renewed gc with conditions removed.  My new employer hr says they are having hard time to process that. I don't know why. They said they will contact a 3rd party that processed the documents for them. But hr also told me there is a chance they might fire me until i receive my physical green card in case they cannot accept the current expired gc with the notice of action that extends my expired green card to a year. I am not HR or have much knowledge about the process but it doesn't seem fair. I am legal because of the notice of action. What should I do to avoid these conflicts because the HR seems to lack knowledge and stupid.

 I've been married since oct 2014. I mailed all the forms to remove conditions on my green card with my wife in sep 2017 since my 2 yr green card expires in Nov 2017. In nov 2017 i witnessed a hurting and disrespectful behavior from my wife and decided i had to leave the house and stay with my brother. I am worried that the uscis may call my wife and I for an interview but we are separated.  I don't know what I should do. As i can't afford a lawyer at this particular moment due to loss of job. However I am starting a new job tomorrow.  

Long short story...my wife and I been having marriage problems. She has trust and insecurity issues that has affected us. We went to counseling in the past. I worked in the oilfield in the past( 2 weeks on 1 week off) and when I am off work I stay at home to spend time with the wife. I don't see my mom and brother often because they live 5 hrs away. When I lost my job in nov prior thanks giving I felt depressed and sad because I loved my job. I decided to go visit my mom for few days since my wife was going to spend thanks giving at her parents in a different city. During that time things were not at best with my wife due to constant trust and insecurity issues from her side. But I still wanted to work things out some how. When I returned to my home from visiting my mom I saw my wife getting ready to go out with her cousin to the club. And my friend already texted me and told me he was going to the same place.  She was going to have a girls night and ill have boys night at the same place. When i went there I saw my wife twerking on the dance floor and other men recording her on the phone and touching her butt. I felt angry and hurt because I didn't like what I was seeing.  I wanted to hurt them but then that is 10 men. What hurt me the most is that she put herself in that situation and did not care about our image as I am a very respectful person( not judging the exotic dancers but everyone is different ). I held my temper and decided to leave for my best sake. I stayed in a hotel and the next day I went home to grabbed my stuff and left.  The environment at home quite uncomfortable due to her bi polar issues. She will suddenly start becoming hostile towards me and accuse me of cheating and etc. Although we've been married for almost 4 years she still don't trust me. I lost many friends because she'd behave in a bad way when we go out in groups. She will say rude things to my friends or ask me why I am looking at their wives and if i f**ked them. It is very embarrassing and with time i began not visting friends because if i go see them she will get angry and say i don't love her and spend time with her and if i take her out she will behave rude and it is embarrassing.  With time my friends stopped inviting me because I tell them i can't see them. Regardless I wanted to save my marriage and work something out with my wife. Perhaps she will change with time but it never happened.  Multiple times she put her hands on me in public because she thought I was talking to other women. For example A woman once asked me for a lighter and I gave her one as I smoke cigg. My wife thought I was flirting but I really did not even say anything to the girl. My wife hit me on my head in public while others were watching. Id just leave and go home because I don't want to make a scene. She would apologize to me and I'd forgive her because I feel bad and don't want to ruin our marriage. There are a lot of stories and it may sound irrelevant to my question but that's in case someone was wondering where I am coming from. My brother suggested that I file a form called vawa but I don't know if  that's the right path at this point of my immigration process.  At the same time I am worried of what she is capable of doing.

right, you don't need permission from school to get married.

but wrong. You did have to report your change in immigration status/marital status. In your case, you had already applied and graduated, so they just terminated your SEVIS account when they found out. Why else do you think they called?

 

definitely. I think if he is married and is going to change his immigration status then it is his responsibility to let his sponsor " the school" know about it. I think OP went little over with the description of bullying. no Legit university does that. Perhaps to let them know about him changing his status but not him asking permission to get married. 

this is ridiculous. you don't need any permission from anyone to get married. I was on F1 visa when I got married and did not even have to report it to my school. when i graduated they called me to see if I was going to attend school for masters or If I am returning home. I told them I am married now and applying for my green card. they can't do anything about it. When your visa ends you become illegal and it is up to the immigration to deal with you, and not them. 

OP,

You can Remove the Conditions of your green card by yourself with a divorce waiver. You will still need to provide documentaiton about your marriage to prove that is was a goo faith marriage. So gather your documents to be on the safe side. If you get divorce you will still be able to get the 10 year green card as long as you provide enough evidence to USCIS.

You do not need vawa or anything else, just the I 751 with a divorce decree.

Good luck! and I hope life gets better for you. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to stay here when you already created a new life and wondering about your future in regards to immigration if your marriage was entered in good faith and things just did not work, specially if abuse is involved. Best wishes for you!

Thank you. Despite all that I said I am trying strong to work my marriage. I already established a home, may not be the best home but it is still a shelter to me and my family, car, family, job and life here. Divorce is ugly and I am afraid from it, but then I refuse to live an unhealthy marriage life. I am seeking tips and advice from people who may be in similar situation because unfortunately where I live and people I am surrounded with automatically think that because I'm an Arab then I am married to her for the green card, my own wife even told the neighbor that she is worried that I married her for the green card only. It hurts a lot to know that. I found out because oneday the neighbor was drunk and asked me while i was outside smoking a cigg. We live so close to the neighbors that they hear when she screams and yells. It is crazy how I feel I have to think 3-4 times before doing anything simple. Since I don't make a lot of money at the moment, I've been looking for second source of income. This one girl I went to college with is an event promoter who looks for people to work few hours and promote products. pays like 17 per hour for 4-5 hours on weekends. I told my wife about the girl and that I am signing up to do this kind of job, and my wife began questioning me and acting crazy. who is this b88ch and where, when, why, it doesn't make any sense, it is a waste of time, who will be there? proof to me you were messaging her about it and you're not just making up a story to go and Eff her. I refused to show my phone because she was being rude and hurtful and don't trust me after being together for two years and half. but then i showed it to her just to get her off my back. She then apologized and etc but I know it is only temporarily until she flips off again over dumb . She made me feel like not doing that job anymore and ruined my excitement. I used to work for the cps in the past and it is a hard stressful job that required me to work late. sometimes leave the home at 12-3am to take care of some clients, my wife would stay up until i come back and tell me that i went to sleep with other women. Whenever she goes out for anything, she will take my care instead hers, because she thinks i would not go see a girl since I'm driving her car since it is old, dirty and has kids stuff in it. I can't even go see my friend when she is out of the home or she will come back home and trip and call me 2-5 times in a row tripping. asking me if i am with another girl, or i am cheating, or who is with me there, what am i doing, why is she hearing weird noise. It is psychotic.

I don't think you are comprehending what I'm saying. His wife is abusive to him I suggested he left for his safety.

I sold my car as well and some other stuff instead of being in my country I'm with my husband in his but god forbid he ever become abusive I would leave and go home that would be my main concern nothing else. Not to mention the fact that I'm in a dangerous country as it is so I count and rely on my husband to keep me and our unborn child safe

Did I once say leave USA ?? Nope I believe what I said was divorce or a shelter correct??

Even being divorced he can file vawa since she's abusing him.

He said it's getting so bad that the neighbors are running over so what happens if one of them calls the police and she claims he attacked her ?? It will be 10000000x worse for him

OP Sometimes marriage doesn't work out and if she's being abusive it will not get better if I were in your shoes my main concern would not be a GC I would be worried about my safety I would find a lawyer and explain the situation

you're correct. I could have called the police on her many times in the past If I wanted but I always felt bad because I don't want it to ruin my step daughter life. Also part of me feels sad to have a failure marriage, but my mind tells me that things will not change. we may be cool for few days but soon things get really ugly. I m currently going to marriage therapy hoping we may learn how to communicate, but so far I don't see us getting closer to each other. Deep inside I don't want to have a child with her as I used to. I'm worried my child would become the result of a broken family or a household of domestic violence. It seems we're incompatible. If she is already cutting me away from being involved with my step daughter as she likes to be in charge all the time and also talk to me rudely infront of my step daughter then i can't imagine how it will be if i had my own blood child. my wife will always make me feel like not a father. ever since I got a new job which pays me like $300 more than what I used to get paid, $1800 and she makes like 1700 a month. Now she thinks I am super rich. I already pay for all utilities, internet,car payments, insurance, food. The only thing she helps me with is paying half the rent which is $300 from her part. i am only left with $400 after paying everything that goes toward food, and gas. Now she is talking about getting herself a new car, moving into a house when the lease ends, and complains that I don't pay for housing needs. Every month she wants to do something costly like shopping for clothes, going to the movies twice a month, eating out most of the time, and still complains. It drives me crazy. She does not care to discuss about things before doing it. when we got married, I asked my mom to let my wife borrow $1000 so my wife pay off this loan. and covered everything when I had a good job, rent, utility food and etc, so she can pay off her other loans. guess what? she already has credit cards that she maxed out and now stuck paying for it, going out on trips to visit her family, taking her family out to eat and buying them xmas gifts. when I bought my first car, she insisted to put her name as the primary person on the vehicle. She said since we're married she should be a joint owner. I thought okay...I went out of town for job training for a month, and she was driving my car everyday and when I came back I drove my car and the headgasket blew. It costs $3600 to fix. I don't have that kind of money. I had the car repossessed and now she is blaming me for putting her name on the car, supposedly i messed up her credit :S. She also did the same with my second car, insisted to put her name on it too. she thinks I will give her the car when i have it paid off. it is not my fault that she had a brand new car that she wrecked, and blew her insurance money on partying and ending up with an old car, and ever since I got my car, she has been complaining about her car. She should be happy to have a paid off car. I don't really understand where all the money she earns go to because I know how much she earns and what she pays for.

For the previous comment. This is a forum regarding immigration and my question is regarding that. It does not necessarily mean I am worried about my status more than family issues but also it does not necessarily mean I'll screw myself over and not plan time ahead. My question is based many incidents that I only mentioned a very small portion.

I filed my AOS concurrently and it was received in NOV 25th 2014. My first green card interview took place on the 24th NOV 2015. Since i live in west Texas, the interview was held in Irving TX. I sent all my files with the help of this website, which helped me a lot and saved me a lot of time and money. I'd like to thank every one who has helped me through out the process. My appt was at 10:15 and I showed up like 10 minutes earlier. I didn't wait in the lobby that much. entering the facility felt just like going thru the airport check points, i hate being rushed. However, the security appeared friendly. We gave our interview notice to the customer service and sat down. 10-15 minutes later a federal agent called my name and greeted us. we were escorted to a room. we sat down on chairs across the agent desk which were sort of far from the desk. i thought it was weird, but i guess so the agent have a better whole view of my wife and I. he introduced him self and asked us to take oath to say the truth. then asked my wife first about my name, my parents name, date of birth, address, what year we met, what year we got married, where did we meet, any previous marriage (yes), divorce decree. then he asked me about my wife's birthday, step daughter name, but did not ask me about my wife's parents name. he asked me about the address what kind of job i do. saw my passport and EAD and TX ID. my wife told him she was from rosewell new mexico and that started a whole different topics off our interview which we talked for quite some time and made the interview be friendly and smooth. he told us about his background and how he became working at the office. i thought he talked more about himself than me and my wife. However, some of his questions were indirect but rather around the question. for example my wife is starting a new job. so he asked if it was a promotion( trying to see if she is making more money which means meeting the minimum requirement for poverty line). also both were in the military and they kept talking about that for a while. he then told me we got married fast (5 months) my wife told him we wanted to live the right way and be a good example to my step daughter n then he said he didn't mean it in a bad way. he then asked us if we have any evidence to give. we gave him joint car papers, joint bank account that we hardly use, joint tax return, joint apartment lease, joint car insurance, and i added internet and electricity which was not joint but had same address, and sh*t load of pictures, like 100 pic, which he went through and then was skipping my wife said. luckily he gave us the photos back. he then told us that there are 4 gound rules, either to approve, disapprove, ask for more evidence, or appeal, and if we have any questions. i told him i don't have any questions really. then we left the office. my case got approved the same day few hours later. My advice is to be calm and yourself and not to over think about it and become nervous. Unfortunately many people over think and search videos about the interview on youtube and see videos that lawyers post showing how bad the interview can be. in many cases it is not that way. lawyers just want money and use scare tactics. I went there thinking I was gonna get asked 100 question like about my religion or race or about ISIS or some stuff like that.

what is 40 fiscal quarters?

Essentially, the Affidavit of Support you signed for him for AOS is the only legal obligation you will have. If he never becomes a public charge, you have nothing to worry about. This obligation disappears once he as worked 40 fiscal quarters in this country (including the time you were married), abandons his legal residency, or becomes a US citizen.

We were typing at the same time.

Yes, correct.

No you can't revoke it.

As stated above: he has to work (on the books) 40 fiscal quarters, abandon his green card or become a US citizen before you're off the hook.

on oct 22 2015 i finally got a notice that my interview will take place on 24 nov 2015. a whole year of waiting since i sent my aos package in nov 25 2015

Hello. After waiting for almost a year, my interview will be conducted in nov 24. 2015 in Dallas area. Could someone please advice me with the documents to bring, and perhaps any suggestions to prepare based on your experience.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Have you tried scheduling an InfoPass? It wasn't much of a help for me but it could possibly give you some insight as to what's going on. The only good thing about it is that if there are no pending background checks holding you down then at least you know that there's nothing wrong with your case and it's only a matter of time before you get your GC.

Hold on tight and keep us updated!

i did an online inquiry and I haven't received any much. i received an email stating, "The status of this service request is:

USCIS systems indicate that your case is awaiting an interview. Your local USCIS Field Office will contact you once they are able to schedule the appointment. Should you not be contacted by your local USCIS Field Office within 90 days of this notice, please contact customer service at the number provided below." well...i had been waiting since Jan 2015 for an interview. i sent an inquiry in september and received the above response.
