    Walk-in Biometrics

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by waiting-1

    My appointment for biometrics was for 4/15, was only working half day on Friday so decided to go to the ASC and give it a try. There were maybe 4 people there and no line, the gaurd let me in, gave a me a form to fill. Did the biometrics (code 3) 10 prints, pic and signature, all in less than 20 minutes. Was happy to get it done almost 2 weeks before the scheduled time. My question is this, we filed my I-751 with CSC, how long after biometrics should we expect to hear from them, whether its a an RFE or an interview or an approval, i mean any action really, as long as its something?

    Marriage fraud factors

    Other issues involving marriage revolve around the "marriage fraud factors" passed by Congress in 1986 to discourage "sham" or marriages of convenience to get around the immigration laws and illegally obtain federal immigration benefits.

    A list of factors that contribute to a determination by an examiner for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) that the parties got married to get around the immigration laws follows:

    * Rapid sequence of events (marriage, divorce, claimed death prior to filing petition ? adverse action by INS).

    * Age difference -- 10 years or more.

    * Prior marriages by petitioner to aliens or by aliens to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent resident aliens.

    * Marriage outside ethnic or religious group.

    * Marriage to "entry without inspection" alien not of the Western Hemisphere.

    * Witnesses to marriage are same nationality as beneficiary.

    * Beneficiary and petitioner claim separate address; beneficiary departed U.S. after marriage.

    * Confidential marriage. This is a special proce-dure in California where the parties can request that their marriage not be recorded in the public record.

    * Beneficiary has minor children residing abroad.

    * Inconsistent or nonexistent petitioner identification.

    * Excessive documentation in support of the application (e.g., Forms I-864, Affidavits of Support, submitted by relatives other than spouse).

    The one highlighted in red seems to be strange. So they dont want people to submit enough documentation? i dont understand that one

    I-751 and Namecheck

    Yes, it will be done again.

    Why the angst?

    No angst! just dont want to be stuck in it for another 2 years like last time. But obviously from the above memo, you can tell that the only applications which require the FBI name check are I-485, I-589, I-601, I-698 and N-400. And yes, I am aware that a background check or fingerprint check is performed on ALL applications.

    I believe i found the answer in a thread on another forum if anyone is interested. Below is the specific quote from that thread and a link for the entire thread as well:

    According to a Dec 21st 2006 memo put out by Michael Aytes of the USCIS, the validity period of a name check response can be used for multiple applications if the response is not more than 15 months old.

    It gives more detail in the memo, unfortunately I can't find a link for the memo now but I'm reading this from the print out I made.

    The only applications which require the FBI name check are I-485, I-589, I-601, I-698 and N-400.

    I've been stuck in FBI name check hell for over 2yrs but about a week ago, I got a letter for an appointment to redo the fingerprints for my N-400. This could well mean my name has finally been cleared so I'm hoping to get an interview letter soon

    Tax Transcripts

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    We tried to order a transcript of our 2008 tax return to submit with I-751, but the IRS phone system told us that it is not possible and without giving any reasons. We just filed our 2008 return about one week ago and it was accepted by the IRS. Has anyone run into this problem before?

    *** YUP, YOU HAVE TO WAIT TILL AFTER THE 15TH BECAUSE OF THE TIMELINE. BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE LAST YEARS INCOME TAX, RIGHT? ***

    Yes we have 2007 transcript.

    We are getting ready to file the I-751 and this is a list of what we have, what do you guys think?

    1- Copy of marriage cert.

    2- Copy of conditional GC

    3- 2008 & 2007 joint tax returns/transcripts

    4- 2007 government stimulus letters addressed to both of us

    5- Letter from 401k administrator confirming designation of spouse as beneficiary

    6- Savings and checking bank statements for our joint accounts

    7- Copy of lease agreement in both names (before we purchased our home)

    8- Copy of Renters insurance policy in both names

    9- Auto and home owners insurance policies in both our names

    10- Letter from home owner association addressed to both of us

    11- Copies of misc. utility bills in both our names

    12- Copies of letters for various doctor’s appointments addressed to spouse showing our address

    13- Copies of magazine subscriptions in both names

    14- Copies of misc mailers from retailers in both names.

    We do not however have a joint mortgage. We decided to purchase our house in my name only as my spouse did not have good credit, which would have resulted in us getting a high interest rate. So we purchased the house with the intent of refinancing it later on, but due to the state of the economy, and me loosing 20% of my income we are unable to do that right now. We do though live in a community property state, so it does not matter who’s name is on the mortgage or deed. But we want to get your opinions on this.

    Thanks!

    Okay folks, as some of you may know, my name check came through on April 17, 2007 after a 16 months wait. Went to infopass about 3 times after that and was told case is under review. So this morning went for another infopass and was given 551 stamp in passport, stamp is valid for six months. Officer said conditional card should arrive in about 2 weeks. So, No more USCIS until March 2009. Our initial filing of AOS was January 30, 2006, had interview June 12, 2006.

    As of this minute the status online still has not changed. The officer said that he approved the cas this past Friday but has not updated the system yet. So if it was not for infopass this morning, we would not have known.

    Good luck to all who are atill waiting.

    Approooooooooooved!!!!
