So you're living and working in the UK, but fly to the US when you get time off? 

 

Is your employer a UK based employer or is it an American based employer?

Hey

I fly for a UK airline ( 20yrs).... now on a part time basis because I commute from the US...

When I'm in the US, I have another part-time job.....

So I have and UK and US employers 

Awwwww thank you FAMILY,

Just out of curiosity can u appeal their decision, or submit it via with a lawyer.....

Again is just to have a better grasp when the time comes....

Cheers

Thanks guys.....

Good to know where I stand..... 

I do enter the US every month and sometimes I get asked and I explain that I'm a flight attendant and they let me tru....

But interesting to know that instead of 3 it should be 5 yrs....

Once more many thanks 

Hello gurus,

I've got a quick question, hope someone can clarify it....

I've been a LPR for almost a year.

- I work as a flight attendant in the UK,
- On my days off (from flying) I go home to      the US,
- When in the US I have a part-time job,

-  I pay taxes, I have credit cards and bills
under my name,
- We file our taxes as a couple,
-  I'm on his work healthcare package,
- The house in our name (husband's and mine) (no mortgage though)
- Only thing worrying me right now, is that I won't reach the 180 days in the country... I will probably reach 150/160 days

- My GC is a 10yr card

Will this be a problem in the future if I decide to apply for citizenship?

Many thanks 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Folks

 

Just wanted to update my timeline on GC production:

 

January 29, 2022: Fee paid

January 30, 2022: POE
March 10, 2022: USCIS Status changed to "Card Is Being Produced"
March 11, 2022: USCIS Status changed to "Card Was Mailed To Me”

…will update when it arrives!

 

Congrats xxx

Thank you all 🙏🤗

So is the Alien number the same as your GC number???

xxx

Thank you so much guys....

Another thing, apparently I will only receive my SSN after receipt of GC.... to avoid duplicating SSN (as per SSN agent) 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️....

I guess I just have to wait......

Hi guys,

This is my situation and I would appreciate your input..

I was issued a CR1 visa by the embassy, but I entered the US after my 2nd anniversary (it should trigger IR1).

Now, I mentioned that to the officer and he said he must stamp the passport as per visa ie CR1 and that I should contact USCIS to update it to IR1..... (I insisted that it should be IR1 at entry to no avail)

The following day I contacted USCIS explained the situation and the lady told me I have to fill an I-539 (change of status) and that costs $370...

Is that correct? I'm sure I read it here somewhere that it should be free and perhaps another form?

Can someone point me in the right direction pls..

Thanks all

There is nothing to take with you. CBP doesn't provide you a GC, uscis does. What uscis provided is clearly mentioned in the link below. There is no such rule imo that CBP has to look at wat you provide or listen to wat you say. They ask what they need and not the other way around. 
 

 

https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-we-grant-your-green-card/conditional-permanent-residence/removing-conditions-on-permanent-residence-based-on-marriage

 

From above:

Your permanent resident status is conditional if it is based on a marriage that was less than two years old on the day you became a permanent resident. We give you conditional permanent resident status when you are either admitted to the United States on an immigrant visa or adjust your status to that of a permanent resident.

 

Yeah,  that's exactly what I found....

Thanks a mill 🙏

Best decision. Sometimes the CBP officer doesn't care or listen to what you said and still mark as CR1. No need to argue. As long as the entry date is correct, you should get 10 year card. By mistake if they send 2 year card, you can have it replaced with 10 year card for free.

Thank you Arken....

I'm trying to look for something on the USCIS website that I can print out and take with me....

But their website is so confusing 🤣😂

Not sure about 1 or 2, but for 3 , if you do enter the US after your 2 year wedding anniversary, then you should get the 10 yr GC with no need to deal with removal of conditions.  As you said, remind the CBP officer and have a copy of your marriage certificate to prove this.  If for some reason USCIS issues you a 2 yr conditional GC, you can get it fixed at their expense.  As to 4, once you enter and CBP endorses the spousal visa, you will already have a temporary GC good for 12 months.  You may want to wait a week or so though before going to the SSA for a SSN, then once you have that you can do the DL.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you Dashinka

1.  Go here to pay: https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee/

2.  No, you just need the  information on the visa.  You could even pay after entering the US, although paying before you travel is better.

3.  If entering the US after the 2 year anniversary of your marriage, you should receive a 10 year card.

4.  Once you have entered the US, your stamped passport will serve as a temporary Green card until the plastic one arrives.  If you marked the box on the DS-260 to receive a SS Card, it should arrive in the mail automatically.  You should be able to get a DL with your stamped passport, but some state DMVs might want to see the actual Green Card first. 

Thank you Crazy Cat

Hi guys

A few questions for those who can help...

After getting ur visa, what are next steps?

1) I know I need to pay $220 before I travel, but how do I go about this?

2) Do I need to have a travel date before I pay?

3) I've got a CR1 but planning to enter after the second anniversary.... I'll tell the officer that I'm entering after the 2nd anniversary... so do I need to remove the conditions? Where can I find some info about that?

4) Do you have to wait for the GC to get ur DL and SSN?....or do you start dealing with those straight away after entry?

Apologies for so many questions!!!!!

Thanks a lot

Many thanks

Best not to delay the interview; interview slots are difficult to get in most embassies, can't tell where yours is. 

 

The Visa is valid for 6 months from the date of your medical exam. 

 London

Woow guys.....

Your knowledge is priceless...... thank you so much..... 🙏🙏🙏

Just another question: is it better to delay the interview or go for it and just delay the travel date?

Also when you get the visa, how long is it valid for?

Once more forever thankful 🤗🤗🤗

Yes, regardless of what the visa says, if you enter the US after the 2 year wedding anniversary, the CBP officer should note IR1 on the stamp.  You may need to remind them though, so pay attention when going through arrival, and once the physical GC arrives.

 

Good Luck!

Thank you so much.....

Yes I'll enter on the 2nd anniversary and 1 day 😂

You guys are great....!!!!

As long the visa is valid, enter the US after 2nd year anniversary. You'll pat yourself later on.

Thanks a lot....

That is what I was thinking.... if I wait a couple months I'll avoid the whole removal of conditions step...

At the moment at the embassy I'm a CR but after the 2nd anniversary would that change automatically? Or do I need to inform the officer on entrance?

Cheers 😘

Hi guys

Does anyone know the answer to this....?

If a couple months away from the 2nd anniversary, is it better to wait and enter the US for the IR (let's say 2 yrs and 1 day) or should u get it over and done with and get the CR now?????

Hope it makes sense?

Thanks knowledgeable ones

They ask you to email them that you are going to miss your date. Then you have to wait until after your allocated date. Then you go to interview confirmation website and click on I missed my interview. The system then allows you to see available slots. 

Thank you so much.....

Where do I get the email from, if you don't mind.....

Thanks once more....🙏
