Hey,

I was very suprised to recieve a letter form USCIS yesterday welcoming my fiance to the United States. In the letter they issued an alien number for her and said that she would receive the conditional green card in less than three weeks. Needless to say, I was shocked. My dealings with these people have never been that easy. So why no interview? Our case was sent to the california service center to speed things up, but i had no idea they would eliminate the interview!!! So my next question is can she begin looking for work??? I did fill out a EAD (I-795) do I really need to wait on this if I have the A-number and a letter from the Department of homeland security welcoming her to the United States. Finally, can she visit her family in EL Salvador If she has her conditional green card or must she wait for the permanent ten year card.

Thanks

Daniel

My fiance entered the US last month on a k-1 visa. We have already applied for a social security card and should receive that this week. However Im confused about the EAD and the AOS. I believe the AOS is the application for the residence card and the EAD is simple permission to work. But if we apply for the conditional residence card and receive it wouldn't it be pointless and a waste of money to also apply for the EAD??? Please help..

Thanks alot to the both of you. I read a little more and I believe I understand everything now.

hey all,

I noticed from reading captin ewok above that it sound like I have the option of either filling out form I-765 or applying for a social security number for my fiance. She arrived here in the states on Dec. 14 and she is now legally my wife.

But Im really not sure what to do. Supposedly EAD takes around 90 days but the filing for a ssn should only take about two weeks. Sounds to good to be true. Could someone please enlighten me and tell me the correct path to take.

Thanks

hey,

so when our interview date is set are we both going to be allowed to attend the interview, and what type of questions do they ask us in our interview.

will packet number 3 be sent me (petitioner) in america or my fiance (beneficiary) in el salvador. If the embassy in el salvador only sends packet 3 to my fiance it could cause some real difficulties for me because i have been the one filling out all the paper work and she doesnt completely understand everything that is going on.

thanks for any insight on the matter

Yeah, I would really like a good estimate on how long the vermont service center is taking on the imbra forms. They received my form on July 20 and my case was already approved once back in april.

ok so I just looked at the email that was dated july 10 stating that my petition was being recalled. so what is a good estimate on how much time it will take until my case is back down at the US Embassy and waiting once agian on packet number 3 to arrive.

just looked at my case status online and found this pleasant message...

"On July 10, 2006, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case. The notice explains in detail what additional material is needed. If you have questions about the notice, what is required, or if 30 days have passed and you have not received the notice. Please contact the service center where you submitted your application during business hours."

I dont have any idea why they would need more evidence, I sent them several pictures of me and my fiance the first time and even my airline ticket stub to el salvador where I met my fiance. I cant even think of any other evidence I could send them. And on top of all this the case was already approved by the uscis and the nvc. The case has actually been at the US embassy in el salvador for the past two months and I really do not understand why it is being reverted back to the uscis. Please help me understand.

hey, been reading that it is possible to tract the process and current status of your petition on the internet. How do you do this???

I plan on attending the interview with my fiance. Was wondering, after the interview, do they stamp your passport at that exact moment so we can jump on a plane the next day to the states or do they make you wait?

If you sent your petition after March 6th, and your receipt notice is after March 6th then yes technically you should be affected by IMBRA. I hope you don't get too much farther before it gets recalled. GOod luck,

Sarah

but why would I get effected by the knew law??? I dont have a criminal history. Ive never even had a speeding ticket.

just learned today about the exsistence of imbra. I filed my I-129f back in the beginning of april. Everything has gone smoothly so far and the case has been sent to the american embassy. I wanted to make sure that IMBRA wasnt going to hinder my progress. I have heard of cases getting recalled, even right before the interview. I have no criminal record, but I was worried that my case could possibly get recalled due to lack of evidence or because maybe I filled out an old I-129f.
