    should i fill the papers now?

    in General Immigration-Related Discussion

    Posted

    I have green card and if i pass the exam i can become citizen in about 18 months.

    My wife do not have green card however she is legally here on student visa .

    Should i fill the papers now for her (me under green card ) or should i wait until i am citizen and then fill out paper work .

    Which way will be faster to get her a green card ?

    If i fill the papers now with me under green card and i become citizen - will this speed up whole process for my wife ?

    Please advise .

    thanks

    N-652 USCIS will send you a written decision

    in US Citizenship General Discussion

    Posted

    I went for the Naturalization interview (I'm married to US citizen )and all want well except the officer didn't like my tax return .At the end of interview i receive a N-652 form with info - you passes the US history and English language test ..and USCIS will send you a written decision about your application .

    My last 3 years i did my taxes as single - same as my wife .We save some money that way for her college- it was advice from my tax guy .But looks like this complicate my naturalization process.

    I have try to explain officer that - we didn't know ...doing the taxes as married will have big impact during the interview so we did it as singles.

    Second- officer...didn't even want to listen my excuses and she called me a liar (because we were lying to IRS)...which is kind of truth but in this difficult times we did what we did to help my wife with school.I told her - i;m sorry for that ...and next tax we will do as couple (married).

    Now - did anyone have similar experience ? What will happened next ? Should i get the lawyer at this point to help me out?

    How long do i have to wait for "written decision" ?

    Thanks for any info .

    How do you figure that this part of the form is for LPRs and does not apply to citizens as well?

    A naturalized citizen is no longer an alien, so why would their previous alien number be relevant to the I-130?

    I'll admit I'm guessing here. I can't find any evidence to say what you should put here as a naturalized USC. However I-130 is used for LPRs to petition their relatives, so I would say that is why they ask for A#.

    My husband is naturalized and his A# is on his Naturalization certificate. Therefore, I think that the A# is still valid even though they are a USC now.

    I think you are right...otherwise this A# will not be on the certificate of naturalization

    I-94???

    thanks!!!
    Paul,

    Arrival/Departure Record, filled out on the airplane prior to landing in the USA. The immigration officer took the Arrival portion and stapled the Departure portion into the passport on the page opposite the visa. Should have, anyway.

    You will never have one - citizens and LPRs don't use the form.

    My fiance is here, with the K-1 visa... we are married now... so that makes her my wife... and i am working on the AOS I-485. It asks for the I-94, and my fiance says she never got something like that... neither did i... what is that?

    if you lost it - you can get new one ..but it will take up to 3 months - it happend to my husband

    chojna,

    I don't know where you might find it on the paperwork you might have from your naturalization or prior. I can tell you that the first digit is the letter 'A', followed by either 8 or 9 numeric digits (if 9 the first is a 0).

    Yodrak

    THx for respond Yodark ...where i can find this # ? on my certicificate of naturalization or something else? im not sure

    i think its on the certificate of naturalization ....there are two numbers on :one the top and one below ..the top one is the certificate number i guess(in red) and the one below starts with a letter A ..any way i will doublle check all my paper work from past to see if i can find anything

    Dr_LHA,

    When the facts presented are insufficient to answer the question isn't it prudent to ask for the missing information before answering?

    I agree that this particular item would not cause issues (and said as much in my post).

    How do you figure that this part of the form is for LPRs and does not apply to citizens as well?

    Yodrak

    chojna,

    Yes, it does.

    And I'm not sorry if my repetitiveness irritates anyone but this does illustrate why I suggest a consultation with an immigration attorney to review the facts of a person's case. You asked me earlier in this thread for examples. This little fact, not mentioned up until now, makes a difference in how a question is answered. Not a big difference for this fact - the USCIS is going to recognize that you are a naturalized citizen and will be able to dig up your case anyway, but having your A# may make doing that a bit easier. A lawyer will know what questions to ask to uncover any facts that may make a more significant difference.

    Yodrak

    Dammit, I was going to ask if you were a naturalised citizen as well! This is why I'm not a lawyer.

    All advice I give on this board is based on the facts presented. That said, I believe that the answer I gave (i.e. "None") would not cause issues. Really that part of the form is for LPRs who are petitioning for relatives, not US citizens.

    Hold on guys...

    IM US CITIZEN who become US CITIZEN thru naturalization (green card process) ...so i need to know what i should put in the #10 of i-130 ...

    im sure lawyer will help (yodark) but we have forums like this one to get some helpful info from people whu went tru same stuff

    also - im sure some one here (on VJ) who went thru same process of naturazation will know the ansfer

    A 10 year+ overstay is forgiven at AOS?

    DAMN. :ranting:

    Oh yes.

    I have a person friend, an Irish guy, who lived and worked in the USA for 9 years on after coming on a Visa Waiver and deciding he didn't want to leave. He married a USC after 9 years, file for AOS, and all was forgiven, he got his green card no problem.

    That is utter BULLSH*T.

    Why is bull....? not every one is lucky like you ..my husband is a good man and since he came in here he has pay all the taxes and never ever been on unemployment...also he was trying to get some legal papers during his years here (with visa lottery) but without any luck ...i dont understand your issues deviette... open your mind and be nice to people who has less luck then you .

    Luck has nothing to do with it. It's called respect for the country you live in. Obeying the LAW. Respect for yourself to live your life as a law-abiding citizen.

    My husband has done everything legally & yet we were forced to spend time apart in order to do so (as almost all VJers have had to do as well). Your husband has been illegal for over 10 years, and all that will be forgiven. That is a slap in the face to me, who has followed the law my entire life, as has my husband.

    Booo Hoooo.

    Go live in a war torn 3rd world country for even a week and your short seperation from the person you love won't seem so bad. Shame on you and everyone else who wants to rip apart a family simply because you had to wait a bit to get together (so obviously everyone else does too or it wouldn't be fair, right?).

    THX for your support Jane :thumbs:

    Chojna,

    I wouldn't be presumptuous about others' luck/lack thereof on this website. There are many VJ'ers who have been through a ton of ####### throughout their immigration process, and as a new person to this website I would focus more on sorting out your course of action than making personal attacks against others. You have been advised to seek an attourney, but people are still trying to help you. Please be gracious.

    Im not the one who said THIS IS BULL... .. person who said that should never replay to my post since he/she was out of topic ...any way i not trying to attack anyone - all i need is a simple help with some applications questions that i have...i dont mean to harm anyone ...if i did - Im sorry ..and im gracious too ...thanks to all who ever respond to my post

    Lets stay on the topic from now .

    I'm more concerned about what chojna hasn't said than what she has said. She is aware of 2 issues - the overstay and the working without employment authorization. Are there any issues that she hasn't mentioned because she doesn't realize that something is a relevant issue?

    Yodrak

    You might want to check if you husband has ever left the country in the last ten years.. overstays are forgiven if you haven't left the country since you came in on your original visa.. I might be wrong about this next part but if you have overstayed, left and then came back into the country, you will need to file a waiver.

    True.

    Although if he did come back into the country without a visa/I-94, then he'll need more than a waiver, as the only other way in would be to EWI.

    I would guess from what the poster said that he has never left the USA since entering however.

    Yodark - what do you mean ? what issues? please give us some examples
