Galing!!!! Congrats to you!
-
I would suggest you do a chronology of events...like your story..how you met, then when you got married. Then specify the start of abuse and any detail you can remember from the abuse and other abuse that followed, be it emotional, physical, financial. If you have filed a report on such DV case, attached it with your statement. If you know any center for domestic violence near you, I suggest that you can consult them too.

Thank you, everyone!
I got my letter yesterday ! Woohoooooo!!
Glad we didn't have to do interviews, as it is really tasking for us to travel nowsdays since my husband's spinal cord injury.
But life is great!!! I am grateful!!
Yeheyyyyyyy!!

Congratulations!!

1st of May!!
A notice came in the mail today for my son's approval for the lifting of conditions. His application was approved last April 28, 2009.
I am still waiting for my results though, since I have to have my biometrics redone.
Still, let's celebrate!!!
GOOD JOB USCIS!! YOU ARE INDEED WORKING NOW!!
-
did any of you went to do their biometrics on a saturday? i got my bio letter in the mail today and it says i have to go to their office on a saturday at 3 pm. is this normal or you think they made a mistake??
thank you,
gabby
I just had mine today, scheduled at 1:00pm. But we went there early so they took me in before 12 noon...
The process was fast and efficient...
-
My wife received her biometrics appointment for Friday, 2/20 at 3:00pm. We're unable to make it in the afternoon, but a morning appointment on the same day would work just fine.
Should I schedule an Infopass appointment for 2/20 in the morning and attempt to have her biometrics done at the Infopass appointment?
The biometrics and Infopass appointments are at the same local Ft. Smith, AR office.
If not, is there a way to call and reschedule? Appointment notice said to mail in for reschedule, but I think we're too close to 2/20 to be mailing anything.
Any suggestions?

I had my biometrics re-scheduled as they scheduled originally a separate date for my son and me.
I wrote the service center that I want to be re-scheduled and I set a time that would be possible for me. I mailed it to the service center where I will have biometrics done , submitted original Notice letter and made a copy to where I filed my I-175.
The following day after I mailed my letter, I got a call from USCIS telling me of my new schedule.
That is awesome. They replied immediately through phone and mailed also my new notice.
Good luck!

As the topic states, I have some more questions regarding affidavits... are relatives allowed to do affidavits? and also, do the people providing the affidavits have to be U.S citizens or are legal permanent residents ok too ?
Hello. I filed fro my I-751 last January.
I submitted affidavits/notarized from my friends.
Whoever will submit that affidavit , let them state what is their relationship to you or how they know you.
They have to be U.S. Citizens.
Good luck!

I filed the I-751 and included my son's name and info in Part 5.
Last week, I mailed our documents for I-751
Today, I got a letter addressed to me,as the Principal Alien- NOA and another letter addressed to my son.
In the letter addressed to my son, it states there:
VERIFICATION OF INCLUSION OF A DEPENDENT IN FILING OF FORM I-751
it verifies that my son is included as a dependent in the request for the removal of conditions.
maybe you will get that letter soon in the mail.
Jan
I have received the NOA (I797) and 1 year extension for my wife. However, her daughter was submitted with the application, and biometrics paid for, but there is no mention of the child on the NOA. Is this normal and can the daughter travel outside the country with her mother even though the daughter is not mentioned on the NOA? -
Hello,
I just mailed mine last week 1/12/09 and the USCIS received it 1/14/09. To day I got in the mail the Notice of Action.
I would suggest that you include the mails/cards addressed to both of your names.
Photo documentation also will help for the two years. I submitted mine with dates on them.
Good luck with the assembling : 2 hole punch on top and tabs below
Jan
And I'm just wondering if the evidence we have should be enough -one year of tax returns
joint car loan
joint car insurance
lease on our old apartment with both names on it
rental agreement between my parents/my husband & I (we live with them after doing a cross-country move)
the affidavits (duh, of course)
I may have proof from my prior job that he was my life insurance beneficiary, as well as joint dental insurance, but that's not at my current job.
We probably can also dig up mail delivered in both names or in our individual names at the same address, photos of our vacation to Peru (I don't know if they want/need photos, the instructions are so general).
We don't have joint bank accounts or credit cards because we like it that way better.
Hmm...anything else I need, or should this be enough?

Hi Janice,
I'm sorry to hear that you've both had a very challenging year. Hopefully it has brought you both even closer together.
As to your evidence for the I-751, I suggest that you request 2 years tax transcript (2006 and 2007) from IRS. It's free and you usually get them in 2 weeks (or less). Check here on how to make the request.
hello there,
WE just filed our tax for the year 2007. 2006 was the year we both were working.
I haven't mailed the documents yet, we are still getting the fee all together.. have used my savings since his injury.
yes, indeed lots of struggles since I migrated here. It has been a lot of learning and adjustment.
Take care and happy new year.

Hi Janice,
So very sorry to hear of your husbands unfortunate turn of events.
Here is the link to the evidence Gary and i sent in for his 10yr GC. I hope it helps!
Wishing you luck and Merry Christmas.
Mary Lou
Dear Mary Lou and Yuanddan,
Thank you for the quick reply. I am copying the list and printing it out for my husband for his reference ( and mine ) . Hope he will read it this time. I printed him all about I-175 before the 90 day started. I am doing this to stimulate his mental health. he is not proactive.
yes, it has been a very struggling year for us since his spinal cord injury. we have lots of learnings and made a lot of adaptations. With the bad weather we had this week, I am glad that we are now in the city, as we lived in the countryside before.
I feel blessed with all the concerns and support from our families and friends.
And since his injury, time is so precious for us now.
Thank you again.
Merry Christmas . Love and peace be with you.
Blessings,
janice

A Blessed Holidays to all!
My 2 year Green Card will expire on January 30, 2009 and until now we are not filing yet. It seemed that my husband always wait for me to do it , since he says that I am the planner and organizer ( I don't take that as a compliment anymore) .
We moved in to a new city where it will be more accessible to his healthcare provider, as he now paraplegic ( spinal cord injury), as a result of his accident December last year.
With all the responsibilities and tasks load on me, it seems my grey matter isn't working well.
Please help me by providing me a checklist for the requirements/documents needed for submission for I-175.
Thank you and I appreciate all responses and comments.
Thank you again.
Kind regards,
Janice

Good day, everyone!
I am in the 90 days timeline for the lifting of conditions.
To my understanding, a sworn affidavit must be notarized. And my husband said it is not important. We informed our friends that we need letters of support from them.
Should the letters/ statements/affidavits be notarized? Please enligthen me on this.
Thank you very much.

Sorry, I meant to say that the child still needs to petition on their own, but the reason (i.e. who made this possible) is still the parent with their K-1 application. The child did not come on their own, but rather as a K-2 visa recipient. The K-2 is issued only as a result of a K-1 visa.

Hello,
Your fiance can get a certified copy of her birth certificate in the National Statistic Office. She doesn't have to go back to her province to get one. She should also get a copy of her son's birth certificate. And she can just wait for the issuance if there are no problems. Now if she doesn't have a BC, she can file for late registration.
I don't know if she has already a passport or her son. But I believe that this is the first document she would be getting for herself and her son. And the birth certificate is just one of the requirements for applying ofr a passport.
I advice you to visit the US Embassy site in Manila. It has all the requirements needed to file for a petiion for a fiance or K1 and K2. Both you and your fiance should thoroughly read and understand it.

Good luck!

Ok, thanks alot. my girl is traveling to her birth provence in 2 weeks and is going to try and get a bc and baptismal cert. She has a voters card, will that help? My girl has a son also, I need to do both for visa's?
