hello,

can someone please add us SimoFati ..filed 7/06.

thank you

Why all the bother over filing to remove conditions? He could have already done that (one can if one is out of the country, you know) , in fact, if you look at his signature, he notes he did on June 29. 2009.

True. If he files by express mail he will be on time.

Actually, he can file today (by express mail) and still be on time.

If he does not file today and he is a few days late, he will likely be forgiven, because he was out of the country (better reason for being late than many).

Also, one can be outside of the US for up to 1 year and not lose the PR status (depending on other circumstances, and once he's in - he's in, he already did not lose his status). He will have to wait another 3 years before he becomes eligible to file for naturalization, but hey, may be he does not even want to naturalize.

Well, don't sing victory. You obviously didn't apply in time for Removing the conditions of your residence; plus have remained outside of the country for more time than allowed in order to maintain your status.

I would not be surprised if you were soon notified of failure to comply and your GC revoked.

very Important fact

omg why didn't they keep her. She is nuts!

anyone who thinks she is really trying to help the people in Gaza don't know anything about her.

Right, because people who pay their own way, risk their own lives, spend time in prison for the cause, and get little to no recognition for it except by those who closely follow the situation are usually insincere.

okay here is our situation, I added my husband to my american express cc and my chase mastercard, when he visited me the 1st time. about a year later with the social security card on hand , I added as a joint account holder of our checking and saving account. same day the person at bank of America asked me if I wanted to open their credit card and I said no but, could you try my husband ...he got approved for $3000 visa card. I am assuming it helped that I added him to 2 of my cc. few months later we got some new furniture and he got declined, they said it is because of job history.best of luck to you all

UPDATE:

Well, went to court today for the arraignment... and yes, it was an actual judge/courtroom in los angeles superior court... Waited in court for 3.5 hours, judge took a recess and the prosecutor called me up to talk to him about the case. He asked if I was able to get my license yet since the citation, I told him nope as the DMV wouldn't process the application as I had no legal presence document. He said ok, bundled my two charges together and offered to knock the misdemeanor 12500a down to an infraction and pay $1000 fine for both charges if I plead guilty to failing to yield to the pedestrian at a crosswalk (infraction) and driving w/o a CA license (infraction).

I explained to him that I was hoping to have the 12500a charge dismissed entirely and told him that I'm in the country visiting on a non-immigrant K1 fiance visa and I'm not a California or a US resident. He said the K1 visa, the subsequent marriage to a California citizen and staying at her house demonstrates enough intent to him to successfully try me and that if I didn't accept his offer, he would push for the maximum sentence if he were to win at trial later. Maximum is 6 months in jail and/or $1000 fine. I doubt the judge would ever give me that sentence, but I didn't feel like pressing my luck, as well, the trial by declaration option does NOT exist for a misdemeanor charge.

I felt he was railroading me a bit and I quickly argued that he was wrong, that the K1 visa is a NON-immigrant visa and only grants me the right solely to enter the US and to marry my fiancee and does not grant me privilege to stay here; that my stay here can only be extended via an I-485 AOS adjustment that came 5 days AFTER the citation; that my true, fixed and permanent home was in Canada. I also showed him the what the DMV rules were for determining residency, as well as the 12505 rules, and as mentioned here in the forum by a few users, the prosecutor said the law is written vaguely enough for him to prove the intent for his case.

He told me the I-485 application itself, even if I filed 5 days after the citation, proves intent, even if I'm seeking US residency, not necessarily California residency. He again reminded me that if I choose to fight it, he'd seek the maximum penalty... I looked at my wife, she nodded, and I said I'd take the deal, he smiled and I sat down again.

The judge soon returned from recess, called me up in front of him, read the charges, I plead guilty and I asked for six months to pay the $1000, which was granted as well as traffic school for the 21950a failing to yield charge.

I'm happy that I won't have a criminal record now for this, which was my ultimate concern here, but I still find it quite ridiculous to get a $1000 fine for being a CA resident w/o a CA license when the CA DMV will not issue me a license in the first place because I'm not a US resident. Even more ridiculous was the 3 hour parade of people called before me getting off with significantly lighter fines for convictions such as domestic abuse, disobeying restraining orders, marijuana possession, failing to appear, etc.

To top it all off, we arrived back home to find an RFE in the mailbox from USCIS for my wife not having her 2007 and 2008 taxes done to include with her I-864. Yay.

I guess the moral of the story is this:

Until you have your California license in hand, (which you won't really be able to get until you at least get your EAD or your I-485 797C approval NOA) don't tell the cop you've been in the state for more than 10 days, and don't tell him you're living with your new spouse in the USA. in other words, as recommended by others here, lie your #### off!

God Bless America, but what a friggin' joke.

Anyhow, thanks everyone for your support and advice here, it was greatly appreciated.

Oh my God, What a nightmare .Sorry man.

In MD at the closing you get copies of the blank forms and then sign the deed and title etc. The deed and title need to be filed with the local authorities (whoever that is) and then they send you the original in the mail. It was about 6 months before we got ours and I had all but forgotten about it when it arrived in the mail. I would call your agent if you never received anything because it's a very important document to have. And I don't mean just for filing.

it is been about 6months since we bought our home.

I copied 3 pages of the deeds we signed at the settlement. If you get the blank form, call your settlement company and ask them to mail it to you.

thank you

hello everyone,

we bought a house last year.Because my husband didn't have much credit history, the house had to be financed under my name alone. we live in Florida, and my husband had to sign and be present the clossing day. I am looking thru the clossing paper work that the title company had given us. All I am finding are blink forms . Have you had this situation? what forms do I need to send ? thank you so much

Good luck on your journey!

Thank you.

A copy of the tax return is fine - I have always used those (unsigned, because I file electronically). Don't fret about it, I never got the transcripts even though they are free. Good Luck

Thank you so much.

will a copy of 1040 tax form be good enough as prove?

It will be enough just to send the 1040 but send the W2s and 1099s at the same time too, for some reason they are particular about that. Can't you get tax transcripts if an amend request is pending?

not sure I just send amended tax for 2006. I should call them and find out.Thank you for the info.

Hello everyone,

Our three month window to file I-751 is coming up soon. we have just filed to amend our 2006 tax, also haven't received an answer about our 2008 tax...the question is will a copy of 1040 tax forms be good enough as prove?
