    Hi guys! For those who know or already had interview. What do I have to bring to the interview? I got married to a US citizen and nothing has changed. So should I bring my green card, my country's passport, marriage license... do I need to bring pictures as well? Thanks in advance!

    You will receive a 797C notice 4-6 weeks earlier with the date and time of the interview. It will also say what documents you must bring with you, however, bring the original documents of all copies you uploaded or send with your application, plus anything new you may think will support your petition. Yes to passport, new and old if you have it.

    Read the instructions on form M-477

    My fiance and i have prepared the k- 1 package ,with plenty of evidence of several visits ,i feel we have solid evidence of a real relationship,.my  question is ,will the age difference play a part in a decision.

    It is a common practice especially in the Eastern countries younger ladies to married older men. Main reason is that older men are more established in life and feel more security.

    Large age gap usually raises a red flag with USCIS. You will need to present stronger financial documents. History shows that four of our US Presidents had a large age gap, with John Taylor 33 years and Donald Trump 25. I have myself 33 years and had not problem with my petition. My N-400 interview will be in three weeks and I expect no problem.

    Hi guys I have a pending I-751 pending since a year ago, i m planing to apply for n400 under 3 years rule , my question is should fill it online or through the mail and and when I apply with a pending 751 is their special documents I should upload 

    I did apply online the first day of eligibility with no problems. The system will ask you to upload  several documents and at the end will ask for the payment. Make sure you have all your documents scanned pdf format in your pc. no more than 2 MB in size. You can save temporary but you can not edit the application after you submit it but you may upload more documents the following days.

    Hi all! New to this site & excited to start the process with my fiancé - we've known each other for 3 years, dating for 1.5 & newly engaged on Christmas. We're ready to spend our forever together. 

     

    I'm from Ontario, Canada, he's from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I've visited him numerous times over the past years and since our relationship grew organically, we have no issues with committing to each other now. We've been toying with the idea of just making things official with a courthouse ceremony with the two of us in Florida now & having our grand ceremony this summer with family & friends in July. My question is - will this raise questions during the CR1 process? If we do the paperwork now & celebration later?

     

    Thanks in advance! 

    As long you exit the courthouse legally married, you will be considered  married. Many people married by a justice of the peace, then later perform religious ceremonies.

  7. As a foreign resident(Not of Canada) I learn that it is wise always to file taxes in both countries even if you don't have any income to report.

    According to US agreement with other countries, a person to avoid double taxation, considered tax resident of a country, if he lives there at least 183 days per year. In this case, that person will file and pay in the foreign country only. In the US(if you want) you will file as a foreign tax resident If you receive your income in dollars, you must change the total income amount to the foreign currency of that country and pay taxes according to their laws. You have to read the US/Canada agreement to avoid double taxation. There are few differences for income received from Gov., or private pensions.

    Well here goes our window opens in a few days first week of the New Year (January 4th, 2022!)  I'll be sending the packet off January 5th, gonna use UPS as FedEx has been messing up lately (I used FedEx both times before without a hitch). The packet is 99.7% finished just waiting on a final December bank statement and I'm done! Nothing like a fresh New Year to start things off. Seems like yesterday we were struggling with the K1 and then the AOS. I did manage to submit both prior packets without the assistance of a lawyer, and no RFE (knock on wood). Those of you that remember we even got a wavier for the AOS interview. I loaded this packet with everything but the kitchen sink, perhaps we can get lucky again like with the AOS and have no interview for ROC, stranger things have happened! If there is an interview won't be a big deal we'll deal with it as it comes. So Happy New Year and I'll start this thing off:

     

    This by no means is the gospel, it is just the way I chose to do our packet and it works for us. Thought I would share for those of you who are not sure what format to use. Pick and choose it always works! here is the cover letter I went with:

     

     

                                                                                                                                                    xxxxxxx X, xxxx

     

     

    USCIS

    Attn: I-751 (Box 21200)

    1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S

    Suite 100

    Phoenix, AZ 85034-4850

     

     

    ORIGINAL SUBMISSION

    RE: I-751 JOINT PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE

    FOR xxxxxxxxxxxxx A# xxx xxx xxx

     

     

    U.S. Citizen Spouse:

    xxxxxxxx (DOB: xx/xx/xxxx; SSN:xxx-xx-xxxx)

    Conditional Resident Spouse:

    xxxxxxxx (DOB: xx/xx/xxxx; SSN:xxx-xx-xxxx)

     

     

    Dear USCIS Examiner:

    Enclosed please find attached Form I-751 and materials to support removal of conditions on residence for my wife, xxxxxxxx. USCIS granted her conditional permanent residence on xxxx xxxx xxxxx.

    The materials, which show a merging of our personal and financial lives since marriage (xxxxxxx  xx, xxxx), are organized in tab dividers for your convenience. For ease of review, pertinent information is highlighted in yellow, followed with a sticky tab explanation if needed. All materials are one-sided copies, if the original was two-sided the copy has been broken down and copied on a separate one-sided sheet for your ease of review.

    Thank you for your prompt processing of this petition and for what we hope is your favorable response at your earliest opportunity.

    Sincerely,

    xxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxx

     

    The packet is fairly thick so thick I used two pieces of cardboard as a backing to the keep the packet or book some might call it rigid. I used ACCO fasteners, sticky tabs on the inside and dividers. I will attach pictures of the packet here:

    The blue pieces paper represent bookmarks and will be removed, they were used by me to assist in adding more content ( I have been working on this thing since October 2021 and I am glad I started early as I got to take my time. I'll do a final check on the I - 751 form to see whats current, sign it, add the check then off to UPS on the 5th of January 2022.

     

     

    To some this might be overkill, but I wanted to give myself every chance for success the first time! Good luck to all the  January 2022 filers. We all can do this, we got this folks. I just wanted to share with everyone who might be drawing blanks!

    Are you sure this is your I-751 application file? it seems to me as the Federal budged for 2022.

    Create an account with USCIS, then you can fill the N-400 form on line . After you save the file, the system will ask you to upload several documents, therefore, make sure you have those documents in pdf file in your computer. You can download as many documents you have to support your petition.

    My wife (American, the sponsor) is a stay-at-home mom these days, while I (British, the applicant) have a well-paid job with a US company. 

     

    On the DS-260 application they added a case note that says:

    Can I, as the applicant, fill out Form I-864 and act as the financial guarantor of my own sponsor?

    Yes you can, attach documents to prove it

    Hi all, 

     

    i am new here. I have a question. I brought my soon to be ex husband  here to USA as a fiancé. We married here and later separated (his infidelity) after he had gotten his 2 green card. He just applied to remove his conditions but was given the 2 year green card not the 10yr. I did not help him with any paperwork or anything. He just sent an email bragging about his approval letter. What Does that mean after 2 yrs will he get the 10 year green card? 

    If you are less than two years married, your spouse will receive a temporary two years green card (CR1 "Conditional Residence Status). Two years later he can apply again (he has to apply) to remove the Conditional Status and receive the 10 years green card. If he can produce that time an absolute divorce certificate, and a good explanation of your split, he can file a waiver without your help and receive his 10 years card.

    Hey guys. I have a quick question.

     

    I've been preparing for my interview, and I noticed on youtube videos and a couple of forums that people mention a "vocabulary list." So far I've just been studying the civics questions (my test will be the 2008 one) and I haven't seen anything about vocabulary questions on the USCIS resources/study materials website.

     

    Now I'm getting a bit nervous and starting to overthink. Is there a vocabulary list I'm supposed to study from or something? I thought it was only the civics questions, a reading test, and a writing test.

     

    Help! 😮 My interview is in two days haha.

     

    Go there, be yourself, and everything will be fine. Good luck,

    Hi all,

     

    I have got a question. Hope someone can help me with it.

     

    I have filed my N400 in Sept 2021, and my company decided to send me overseas (to UK) and stay there for long time, about a year. However, I can travel back and visit our US office every 2 months. Does this hurt my N400 application? I still get paid from US and pay my taxes in US.

     

    Thanks

     

    I believe it has to do with how long you have been in this country. If you are only 3 years, they will probably question that.

    If I got a penny for every time I received an email from USCIS stating they took an action on my case only to find absolutely zero changes to my online account and no actual updates / movement on my case for months... 🙄

    If you just completed your interview it might be an internal note (you won't be able to see it) that says "interview was completed".  I had the same message and in my case that is what it meant.

    I have pending I-751 from 9/20 with actual biometrics on 7/21,  and pending N-400 from 9/21 with same day reuse biometrics. No interviews yet, just this email this morning.
