    Going through custom - San Francisco

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    Hello - 

     

    My mom who got IR5 immigration visa 

    My grandma who got travel visa 

    They are both flying into the US this week together. 

     

    1. Can they going through the custom together when they go see the custom officer?

    2. Can they file 1 form of Custom Declaration?

    3. Do both need to file I-94 form?

    4. Will the immigration offer give a hard time given my grandma has travel visa and enter the country with my mom? 

     

    Address Change. Mom enters the US next week

    She needs to give the new mailing  address to the CBP officer as she enters the US. 
     

    Assuming you are her petitioner and hence sponsor , you need to complete   and  mail in the I865 form within 10 days of moving 

    Thanks so much for the response. In the form, it is asking for A-Number. I dont have her A-Number, where would I find it? Just want to check if that is the case that my mom doesnt have A-number

    You are referencing an archived article.  Hand-written signature is required.  It's explicitly stated in the I-864 form instructions -- https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf

     

    What's not required is a "wet" signature at the time of interview.  This simply means that the I-864 to be brought to the interview can be a print-out of the scanned I-864 uploaded to CEAC.

     

     

    Followed up on this, I used Adobe electronic signature and my document is now qualified. FYI

    How to bring Grandma to America

    Me (US Citizen) and my mom (on process on getting a greencard-likely within 6 months) and my mom will move to the US then. 

     

    How do I bring my grandmother to America to live with us? My grandmother only have me & my mom as family. Is there any exception? She is too old to fly 20+ hours every 6 months on tourist visa and investor visa might take too long (last i heard it is 5+ years)

     

    What should I do?

    Hi there, my husband petitioned his parents and they got DQ on Jan 24, 2023 and still nothing. We have been trying to see timelines for IR-5, but I guess there aren’t any recent ones from DR😞. I guess the wait is around 4-6 months period for IR-5 as well🤷🏻‍♀️. 

    hi - what is DQ?

    You may either: (1) wait for case FE note from NVC and address it then, or (2) proactively update the I-864 with handwritten signature and date.  Note that option 2 will likely reset your submission date, as I-864 is a basic requirement.

    I-751 January 2019 Filers

    I had my interview this morning (it was a combined 751/400).  
     

    The 751 one part started okay.  He asked basic questions of me and of my husband to confirm the info on our application.  Then he was like “let’s see your updated documents”.  Cool.  I handed him updated banking statements for checking, saving, and a credit card.  He went through each one and made sure all the months were there.  
     

    I showed the originals for our car titles.  I have updated car and health insurance documents.  
     

    And I gave an updated IRS tax transcript and certified copy of the state return.  I did NOT have the most recent ones (2019) because I thought I could obtain both federal and state through online portals.  I was wrong, and while I did send paper requests, I didn’t receive them back in time.  He did NOT like this, and it was an uncomfortable 2 minutes while I was shaking and holding back tears and my husband was rubbing my leg trying to soothe me.  So my advice, if you don’t have the official documents, bring something, anything, that shows you filed. I’m so mad at myself for not even printing out the return and w2’s.  
     

    Anyway, after that, it was a few more questions about why we don’t have utility bills together (I mean, I cannot get Verizon or the electric company to add a second name), about trips out of the country, and our family visiting schedule, and then that was that. 
     

    At the end he approved the filing, so I’m chalking his attitude up to the fact that that’s his job is to press and see how people react.  
     

    Also got approved for my n400, and due to covid, they did a same day oath ceremony.  Told me it would be “30 minutes” and it was 3 hours, but hey, I’M DONE!! 

     

    When it is a combine interview for n400, did you have to go through civic test (related to 100 questions about the US)?

    Call the uscis contact center and tell them that you need an infopass for stamp. They will tell you that it is for emergencies only and tell them that it is an emergency and you will use it for your job either you have a job offer or you are currently working. Then they will transfer you to a tier 2 officer. I got my stamp for a year and they did not ask for any emegency documents like a job offer, currently working, needed to travel home etc etc.

    My stamp is for a year. .

    Your immigration status is the same. You can work just the same as long as you actually submitted your removal of conditions. The documents expired but your status did not. 

    Thank you for the info.

     

    How early can I call to get an infopass? My 18month extension expired early Oct.

    Hello, my GC expired early Oct.

    1. I will try to call to get an infopass for the letter, looks like a lot of people got rejected to get a stamp. Do you know how many months is the stamp valid for?

    2. What happened to my immigration status when I can't get a stamp in my passport. Will I still be able to work ? How many months can I work without green card + letter of extension? 

    Thank you
