    GabiMatch got a reaction from PaulaCJohnny in Bringing my nephew without any visas. Is it really possible?   
    So my sister is a LPR and was deciding the best route to bring her 8 years old son to live with her since she just won his custody in Brazil.
    On doing some investigation, we found some information on the website of the American Consulate in Rio that states that “minor Children of LPR in the United States are authorized to travel to the US without a visa or authorization letter as long as the parent have a valid green card”
    Does anyone have better knowledge about this?
    She is going to Brazil in February for his birthday and want to bring her son back with her!
    Thank you!!!

    GabiMatch got a reaction from Hamilton in Speeding ticket on N-400   
    I saw someone here reviewing her interview for naturalization that said that at the moment of the interview the Interviewer asked her this question and she said to the officer that even though she answered "no" in her form, she actually got a ticket and paid a $200.00 fine for not completely stopping at a stop sign, she said that the interviewer then changed her answer to "yes" and said it wasn't a problem. In her post she said that people should say "yes" if they have had a ticket as it is a "traffic citation".
    Good Luck!

    The 18 month extension letter extends the expiration date of the card.  Therefore, I would enter the date the extension letter expires.

    Hello everyone! I sent my ROC package last Monday and it was delivered Friday (04/10/2020), but I was panicked the hole week because my dear husband went to UPS and the lady offered him to mail there, but through USPS and he accepted!!! After trying to tack the package for 2 days at the UPS website, I tracked on google and panicked when I realized it was an USPS mail package with a Fedex/UPS/DHL address!!! I was ready to get the package back but apparently it was delivered...now I'm anxiously waiting for the notification.
     
    Good luck to all of us and be safe out there!!!

    No, they didn't...when I fist applied for my AOS, I also included an outdated form and when I got the package back, I submitted the same money order and check previously sent.
    Just send the package with the same money order attached.
    Good luck!

    Hello guys, sorry for the delay...so here is my interview experience at West Palm Beach Field Office on 05/11/2018.
    Our interview was supposed to be at 10:30 AM, we arrived at 9:50 AM, they called us in at around 11:45AM...when we got to the room, there were 2 chairs but she had 3 computer monitors on the desk and for that reason a choose to sit at the chair that would let her see me (she could not look at my husband at all...lol).
    She told us to stand up and sworn us in (you know how it goes).
    After that, she proceeded to ask us for the originals sent with our application (marriage certificate, previous marriage dissolution, birth certificate, etc.)
    She looked at all of them and compared to the copies that we submitted with our application.
    After that she looked at me and asked me if there was any proof of relationship that I wanted to add to the ones already submitted, I gave her some documents and asked her if she wanted to see some pictures...se said yes and made the first question:
    "So how did you guys meet?" (That was pretty much the only actual "question" that she made)
    I proceeded to tell her how we started talking over the internet in a poker room and that we finally got to meet in person about 16 months later (she asked if it was here) I told her it was in Mexico and that he went to Brazil about 2 1/2 months later.
    As I'm talking I'm showing the pictures that are related to the part of our history and she was pretty much curious about everything but not really making questions to challenge us.
    I would say, "after getting here in Florida, we got to make a bunch of friends and we do have a good support from them, you'll find in our package a letter of our good friends Nina and Henry and this is the pictures of him alking me down the isle, in this other picture over here is his wife and him making a funny with John and me, she is a very good friend and she is actually the one who braided my hair for the wedding and I got ready at their home".
    I showed her a picture of my matron of honor holding the tail of my dress and explained how she gifted John and me with her 25 years wedding band anniversary to be my wedding band. (she is a widow now and the gift meant a lot to us and I'm proud to wear it every day...it's absolutely beautiful).
    The conversation lasted for about 20 minutes and she didn't ask anything to my husband, only "why he decided to move to Florida after living his entire life in NY".
    She then proceeded to ask the form questions and asked me for my work permit, I gave it to her and she said: "I'm afraid that I'll have to take it from you". I said "WHY???" and I was so nervous that I didn't realise what she wanted to say, she then said "because you'll no longer need this"....and I said "I need that because I work!" and she started laughing and said "yes, but permanent residents do not need work permits, YOU'RE APPROVED!" 
    It was like a 100 pounds were lifted from my shoulders...I was so happy that I can even describe.
    She explained to me that I'll have to apply for removal of condition in 2 years and that I might not even have to come back for an interview when I do, but due to the difference in age between us the officer responsible for the case might want to see us in person.
    When I got home I realized that I never gave her our most recent taxes and was a little worried about this.
    I have been looking at my status the entire weekend and no update so far...I think I'll only rest when my status changes online.
    Anyways, let me know if you guys want to know anything else and I'll be around to until every single June filler get their Green Card.
    Good luck to all of you and thank you for EVERYTHING!!!

    GabiMatch got a reaction from PollyC in AOS Interview, adjusting from B2 visa   
    Hi dear, I was almost nuts reading all the CRAZY replies for your question (I don't know if it's just me but I understood exactly what you said right away) ...people start to judging without even read properly...I particularly think that your question is pretty obvious, you arrived with a visitor visa, got married and is now adjusting your status, you just want to know what kind of questions they will make and if that is a problem.
    I can tell you that I know plenty of people that arrived in a tourist visa and had no problem at all, I also know people that have been here without arriving at a port of entry and they all get forgiven when marrying a USCitizen.
    I can't tell you what kind of questions they are going to make because I'm going through the same process that you are but you can find sample questions all over the internet but if you have a real relationship it would not be a problem, my husband and I shared a bunch of good laughs answering together some of the questions that we found in the internet.
    Best of luck to you and don't worry you're just fine if your first intention wasn't to get married to begin with, I didn't and it ended up happening anyway!
    Letme know through message or quote this post so I know how your interview went.
    All the best! 😊

    GabiMatch reacted to Sunnyland in In the event of leaving (as in, legally separating from) your USC spouse before you submit AoS paperwork?   
    OP. What do you mean by "the current administration caused so many delays and problems in our visa journey that our relationship has suffered as a result..."? 
    I don't see you have a timeline but you said you are from Canada. Hardly a high fraud country that could cause you a delay for that. 
    Many couples have to separated while doing K1s or even spouse visa.. Like it was my case when doing the K1. We could not see each other for more than a year. With me not having a tourist visa and he busy working a new job with no vacation time during his first year. We had to work it out with Skype, calls, etc. It sucked but it did make our relationship stronger.
    If you still love each other, then try to work it out. Now that you guys are together in the same territory.

    I don't see the relevence of the "current" administration being a reason for your visa process being so "hard" on your relationship. Almost everyone goes through some sort of hardship while waiting for their visa to be approved. 
     
    Either way like others have said, just get your divorce and be ready to go back to Canada and then you will be free of the "current" administration won't you! lol

    I second you...it was way easier than I tought it would be...I sent my AOS alication using my husband name without having any document with his name on it when time came, EAD came with married name on it and I just went to SS and DMV with not even a question about my name. It was way harder for me to change my name on my coutry of citizenship.

    GabiMatch reacted to yuna628 in The USA should be the land of freedom but...   
    OP: Until you discuss your feelings with your fiancé, I don't think you should honestly proceed. If YOU are not ready to leave your country behind, and he is unwilling to learn or make certain sacrifices for you, then this will only be miserable for you. When it comes to immigration your entire lives are laid bare for the government to see, and we've all had to make sacrifices to make our lives together. If you find yourself contemplating that you will be filled with regret.. think about how the future will be more, and if you're really ready for it.
     
    America is a land of freedom, in that we have many personal freedoms and liberties that other countries do not. We also have many opportunities for those that are willing. But that does not mean everything is free, nor should anyone expect that. We are a country, unique as any other. How do you expect that a person feels American? Ask yourself what does it mean to feel American? America is filled with people... people that are immigrants, a melting pot of children and grandchildren and great grand children of immigrants. We each have our own cultures and differences, and not necessarily united under a notion of a specific identity. You should not expect to set foot here and suddenly 'feel American'... because there is really no such thing as that. You may likely experience culture shock for a very long time, you may adjust or never adjust. You may feel floundering for a while, and then slowly normalize. America will never be exactly like your home. Your home will always be your home and special to you.

    There are options out there...you and your husband as a adult couple can seat down and talk whether or not it is beneficial for you guys move to US, or get married in Italy. Whether or not he thinks you cant support or provide finally to you both has nothing to do with K1 or CR1 process, this is a personal issue. 
     
    Lets just get down to earth and understand what are your options within your relationship and go from there, USCIS will not change and there are PLENTY of reasons why they require what they require for visa and what not.
