Hey everyone. I (US Citizen) am applying for a green card for my mom (living in India with my brother). The guy who is helping my brother apply for a tourist visa is telling us that a green card for my mom will be denied unless she has a current visa and has visited the US, 2 or 3 times and urging my brother to apply for a visa for her first. I am not seeing anyting like this in the USCIS website. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

All you need do for you mon is send a I-130 application, you can do the application yourself, all you need is a uscis online account and the proper documents, it is very easy fill out the I-130

Hi!

 

I just submitted my N400 (under 3 year rule) online and, after reading through some posts on here, I'm realizing that I was perhaps supposed to include a letter requesting a combo interview? 

 

My 2 year greencard is currently expired and I'm awaiting removal of conditions (have been since March 2022). I assumed that the N400 would just supercede the I-751...but now I'm inferring that there's further action I should have taken, re including that letter.

 

Has anyone done this process and not included that letter (and if so, how did it impact the process)?

 

Many thanks!

I apply for citizenship on april 2022 with I-751 pending, I didn’t include a letter requesting a combo interview.

I had my citizenship interview on december 2022, I passed my interview , they didn’t mentioned my I-751, on the afternoon my I- 751 was approved and next day my Citizenship status changed to approved.

my husband was with me but they didnt let him in, all my questions was about citizenship.

Hi all, 

 

I've recently received the interview date and about to go through medical exam. I know i'm going to file for the religion vaccine waiver. 

 

My question is:, Is it ok that i file the waiver before the interview gets denied, or maybe just after the medical exam when i receive the RFE from the panel surgeon, or would i have to wait until after the interview and get a RFE to then submit the I601 waiver?

 

Thanks for helping!

 

What kind of visa are you applying? Are you in USA?

Read intructions, you dont send originals to uscis.

You need translate the birth certificate. Translation can be done for you if you are fluent in both language

Hi! My husband came on a B2 visa. It expires in April and while we are trying to get everything filed before his stay expires in April we are having difficulty with getting his birth certificate so it might take longer than we hoped. My question is after his stay expires can we still file the AOS? If so, is he no longer subject to being deported once the application is received or since it was after his overstay will he be at risk until it is approved or denied? I am a US Citizen by birth. Thank you in advance! 

Why is his birth certificate take that long? , it is easy to get and you get it same day at the Oficialia in DR. all you need is a pdf form and print , you dont need original to send with the i-485. Some family member can get the birth certificate and scan and send it to you by email or whassapp

If she is here on a green card, why would she need another visa?  Your post doesn't make sense.

 

Very, very odd also that she was able to obtain a visa with that criminal history, as the US consulate would have done their background checks as they do for all immigrant visa applicants.  Something does not really add up here.

Exactelly, how she hot a visa with criminal history? Somthing doesnt sound right here.

Us consulate wont issued a visa to people with criminal charges pending.

Hi,

My husband is filling out 1-130 for his minor children. He is a US citizen. He came on a K1 visa and a few months later his children joined him here under the K2 visa. They went back home with their mom a few months later. We are confused on the question that asks if anyone has anyone has submitted a petition for them. Should we write yes since they came once with a K2 visa or no since my petition was only for my husband at the time and then had them join him ? 
 

A answer yes and explain

Yes She will need to file I-130 for both if your mom is a US Citizen.  But your sister and her daughter will have to return home until it’s processed. They cannot stay here while it is being processed. 

A grandmother can not file for a grandchild.

The mother usc only can file for her daughter but the daugther can not aos in usa. She wont get a green card if stay out of status.

Hello All, I filed for N-400 and was approved. I got a letter to attend Oath ceremony two of which I had to postpone because I had to remain a citizen of my country while some financial processing was still going on in my home country (it was delayed because of covid backlog) so I request USCIS for a few more months. I mailed USCIS request for postponement ahead of the dates.

I was then scheduled for another Oath which I had to postpone because of health reasons (I required bed rest as advised by doctor for two months.). I send a request for postponement for this as well along with doctors note.

 

USCIS then mailed me a letter saying they are opening a motion to reopen my N-400 approval with an intent to deny. Reason was if three oaths are abandoned then its treated as the resident has no intention to naturalize and is treated as receiving a derogatory information after N-400 approval, and treated as such. I had 15 days to respond to it, and I responded to it submitting proofs of all the responses I had sent to USCIS requesting for postponement. There was no response from USCIS for several months while I waited to hear from them and when I called the customer service for an update they had none. After two weeks of that call I received a decision on my response denying the N-400. Reasons were as above. I can file for a Request for hearing (N-336) if I can overcome the presumption for denial (which is lack of intent to naturalize) in 30 days or 33 days (if decision was mailed to me). I was travelling and saw this in mail last week when I come back. 

Since it was mailed out I have 33 days and I am preparing the paperwork to file the hearing. I have the following queries if someone who has knowledge on this can help:

1) Because I am so close to the 33rd day I will be able to mail it out on 32 or 33rd day. Is it considered timely filed if I have the USPS seal with date on it (plan to sent this certified mail) or should it actually reach USCIS office and be received before the 33rd day ?

2) Do I count the days including the date on decision letter. It is dated Oct 3 2023. So does day 1 start from Oct 3 or from Oct 4 for calculating the 33 days. 

3) This hearing can take upto 180 days (as per rule) so realistically I am thinking it could be between 4-6 months out. If I get denied then I have to reapply N-400 again and wait out another 15 months. So I was planning to file N-336 now and next week file for N-400 (reapplication) so that even if the hearing doesnt help reverse the decision, I would only have to wait another 9 more months or so for decision on second N-400. I am prepared to pay fees for both, but I wanted to know if filing if this strategy will hold my N-400 in queue (until N-336 is decided) in which case I might as well only file N-336 now. Or filing both can automatically eliminate N-336 (if USCIS thinks reapplying N-400 means I am no longer interested in hearing). 

4) I plan to overcome the presumption that USCIS has (that I have no intent to naturalize) by submitting the responses showing the delay in a process in my home country (because of covid issues) and how I had to remain a citizen of that country till its done. That processing is now over so I can provide proof of that to show there is nothing stopping me from naturalizing. However if USCIS goes by how the law is then the office at hearing can uphold their decision. I am hoping for the discretion of officer and if I can convince him. If anyone has gone through this particular denial please let me know what other points could I use.

Much thanks. I know this is something made worse because of my special circumstances. I have to spend double the money and energy to straighten this now. 

No make sense pay 700 for a hearing that may be denied, better apply for n-400 and be ready this time

No problem, he can travel any country with s i-130 pending or approved, travel to any coubtry does not have nothing to do with i-130

$1000 a month is not going to fund a 2 month US vacation.

1000 dollar is a decent salary in D R and you can save money, so with the saving she can pay vacation, but you can read the brother in law will pay for her vacation, a bad idea say that another person will pay

I'm filling out a tourist visa for my wife's sister.is it possible I can fill out for another sister as well at the same time? Total of 2 tourist visas? On application I will put my address place of visit for both sisters.i put that I will pay for flight and sister will come to visit for 2 months.country is Dominican Republic.atm my wife is waiting for her green card.

Don’t matter who fill out the application, the problem is that the applicant need demostrate at the embassy strong ties to the country. I am dominican and i do paper works for people apply for tourist visa, the applicant need has a good job and make good money to get a visa in Dominican Republic, sounds that your sisters in law aren’t working because nobody working can take a vacation of tow months in Dominican Republic. Many teachers get visa easy in Dominican Republic because they make a decent money, and teachers only have one month vacation, so where do they work that can take tow months vacation?

if they dont have a good job, they will lose their money. You paying for the flight show to the officer that they dont have money to pay for their own.

dominican embassy check their job, how much they make monthly, how much they have in the bank, if they have property, house, cars etc etc, the thing it is the look that you have strong ties to come back to DR.

Hello,

 

I helped a friend file her AOS papers adjusting from a Student Visa (F1). She received an RFE for their I-864 and we are struggling to figure out A) what was wrong and B) have questions on how to respond. I attached the RFE. Any help/insight is greatly appreciated! 

 

About the situation:

- Petitioner (US Citizen) is a military veteran looking for a job. He receives 26k/year for disability. Since these are tax-exempt, they do not show on his tax return. So we had to put a reported annual federal income of just $5k down, that showed on his tax returns (previous years are similar). Because of this considerable discrepancy, we added a letter of explanation that talked about where his money is coming from and why it is not showing on his tax returns

- Beneficiary (Immigrant) is on OPT and makes $44k a year, so also well above the 125% poverty guidelines. 

 

These are the documents we provided:

• Letter of Explanation for I-864

• Copy of U.S citizen birth certificate

• Transcript of federal income tax return of most recent year

• Petitioner VA Letter of disability

• Petitioner Copy of GI bill pay stubs from the past year

• DD-214

• Past 12 months of Bank Statements from the Account that receives the Direct Deposits

• VA ID Card

• Beneficiary employment letter 

• Beneficiary Copy of most recent pay stubs

 

Now they received an RFE and we are not sure what is wrong. We did notice that we forgot to enter a sum in Part 6.

 

Do they want them to get a sponsor? Or is just the sum that is missing and that is what the RFE is for? 

 

Thank you!

 

 

Just send a new i-864 with the missing sum onbpart 6 and sll documents from the petitioner. You dont need send documentsof the beneficiary. Beneficiary doesnt count as sponsor. That may confuse them thinking you are sending documrnts of a joint sponsor

Is it possible for a visa to be there for the birth of your child ? For father and his mother , mother has strong ties to home country.. father doesn’t except for his family and small plot of land with home in it.  No other visas have been filed because yet due to technicality reasons but a spousal visa will be filed after we marry in his home country. Unborn child is biologically his and he wouldn’t want to ruin his chances of permanently being here so he would go back after a few months and not overstay his visa. 
 

how should one file? What should they file? The wait time seems to be longer than the pregnancy will be 

Always you can try, but get a tourist visa with a strong tie to usa it is very difficult.

Nigerian citizen has moreties to usa that to his country. Having a child and a girlfriend in usa make strong ties, so his chance to get the visa is cery low or almost zero

Just send and email to nvc and they take severals days to answer but they will give you your case number and invoice number

Also you can wait 2 weeks and call nvc and ask for your case number

Hello all, quick question. My fiancé and i have completed all steps including her health exam and she has appointment for the  K1 visa interview (thailand) at the end of this month. Unfortunately she had a serious accident and will most likely have to attend physical therapy for some months before she can travel. I assume that all our work and time is now for naught but thought i would ask here if anyone has had this type of complication or for any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated. thanks all.

She can go to the interview and travel 6 months later. Or ask the consulate change her interview date.

I have filed a I-130 and and an I-864 for my spouse and shortly received a Request for Additional Evidence. In the RFE it says:

 

 

I-864 was signed, there was an SSN on it and the current income exceeds the requirement. I filed with 2021 as the last tax year since we have an extension for 2022. There were 1040-ies for 2021, 2020 and 2019, and current pay stabs in the filing.

I cannot understand why there is an RFE and what we need to send in differently. Can you please share your experience on that? Thanks!
