No power for several days at a time is still a common feature in many parts of WA. We often have no power for 3 or 4 days here in the Cascades after a storm or even just a bit of snowfall. You need a gasoline generator here for those days. 

 

She is required by law to file a tax return every year, even if she doesn’t owe any tax. Unless she earns less than $10,000 a year. 

She is making $ 0.00 a year.

This is just a colloquial terminology thing but women in the USA genenerally want to be referred to as women, not females.

K3 are rarely granted anymore so dont waste your time there.  And you dont live in a country with a USCIS office.  You will start the CR1 process with an I-130 mailed to the Chicago lockbox.  

If you make sure you've been married for 2 years upon entry after acquiring your visa, you will recieve a 10 year green card and wont need to remove conditions.  Shouldnt be too hard considering spousal visas currently take 12-16 months.  

Taking the 12-16months in consideration, then we would fall within the 2yr timeframe

Dear JFH,

She is originally from Guam (Pacific Islander), but we lived in the Pacific NorthWest from 2010 till 2015 together, to include that terrible winter where we had no power in the Lacey Area for almost a week.

We got married on May 31, 2018 in Guam (US Territory). She has the fullest intend to establish re-establish domicile in Texas as her daughter lives there. She has not filled taxes in the USA since she left, but that is something I will advise her to do ASAP.

Thank you

 

Greetings to you all,


I married in 2001 a USC in the Netherlands. She filed for my K-3, which was finalized in May of 2002. I moved to the USA on May 2, 2002.
Unfortunately we seperated and got divorced in 2013.

As I moved in 2015 from USA to Netherlands with my fiance, we totally forgot about my GC, which is expired on 11/10/14. As we are considering to move back to the USA as our son (her previous marriage) can not get adjusted to the language and the way certain subjects are presented at school, we think it is of the best of his interest that we move back to the USA. Okay, not renewing my GC can be seen as aboandement of my GC. 

When I was looking through al my USCIS documents, I found a receipt dated 11/02/2007 I-90 Form: Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card.

When I look at my old card, it states:

Resident since: 10/21/2004

Card Expires:     11/10/2014

When you apply via a I-90 would the new card not have a new expiration date?

Thank you for your help in this.

Merry Christmas and all the Best Wishes to you and your loved ones.

Your greencard expiring does not mean you have lost your status as a resident.  Other action or inaction on your part however will

I have not visited the USA after we left in November of 2015. Unfortunately my Permanent Resident Card expired on 11/10/2014

Unfortunately starting a DCF I-130 process in Amsterdam isn't possible anymore, unless you qualify for exeptional circumstances.

 

WASHINGTON - Effective Aug. 15, 2011, petitioners residing in countries without USCIS offices must file their Form I-130, Petition for an Alien Relative, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) lockbox facility in Chicago. This change makes the filing process more efficient and gives USCIS greater flexibility in managing its workload.

Petitioners residing in a country with a USCIS office may send their petitions to the USCIS Chicago lockbox, or file at the USCIS office in that country. Overseas petitioners filing with the lockbox should expect processing times similar to petitions filed domestically, which currently stand at five months.

Based on a Policy Memorandum published in July 2011, these petitioners will also be granted more time to respond to Requests for Evidence (RFE). Applicants and petitioners residing outside the United States are now given up to 12 weeks to respond to RFEs, plus an additional 14 days to account for overseas mail.

Previous regulations permitted individuals overseas, who comprise about 5 percent of all I-130 petitioners, to file with USCIS or their local U.S. Embassy or consulate. Under the new process, USCIS may authorize the Department of State to adjudicate their case in certain emergency situations, including when:

• A U.S. service member stationed overseas becomes aware of a new deployment or transfer with very little notice.
• A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an urgent medical emergency that requires immediate travel.
• A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an imminent threat to personal safety.
• A beneficiary is within a few months of aging out of eligibility.
• The petitioner and family have traveled for the immigrant visa interview, but the petitioner has naturalized and the family member(s) require a new, stand-alone petition.
• The petitioner adopted a child and there is an imminent need to leave the country.

Please don't forget to have a Apostille place on the document, otherwise it will not be accepted by the city (Gemeentehuis) in the Netherlands. It took me over a year to get my status changed by the Dutch City after I came back from the USA after living there for 15years.

Are you from the Netherlands? Me too.

What did you do with your previous green card? Also you say you lived together from 2012-2015? What happened with the other two years?

Personally I would choose the CR-1. That way you can keep your job and health insurance until you move to the USA.

 

Good luck

Hello Beachlover,

My GreenCard expired in the meantime and  when that occured, we had not eventhought to move back to the USA. I met my (now) Fiance in 2009. In 2010 I picked her and her littleone up from Oklahoma, we drove to Wa, where we lived till we moved (all 3 of us) in November 2015 to the Netherlands. 

Greetings all,

i lived in the USA from 2002 - 2015 on a GreenCard. I got divorced in 2013.

met a awesome female (US citizen), we lived together from 2010 - 2015. In 2012 we got engaged. Her son (previous marriage) wanted to move here after visiting in 2014.

so we moved. Now I know he has difficulties with tha language (has extra help at school), but also my fiancé has difficulties settling.

we are now considering to move back to the good old USA. But what would be the best way to go? We are engaged and consider to marry in the USA, but if need to, we can do that here also.

what would be the best Visa to apply for and ofcourse not the expensive route!!
