Thnx sis. try ko lumpiang shanghai. yan ata tawag nilang eggroll dito kaso lang mas masarap ang pinoy style.

yep, egg roll ang tawag nila sa lumpia. lutui ug filipino style na lumpia di ba mas ganahan na sya. you can try tinolang manok too. good luck!!!

agree to some vj'ers.. the baby has definite time.. uscis who knows.. i would love to wish you to have both, but USCIS is unpredictable & moves as slow as molasses. Good luck though. wish you all the best.

congratulations!! its good you have not wait long...

that is the least to worry about when you file for your citizenship. i've got 4 speeding tickets ( i know i've got slow down, can't afford the 5th) within the last 2 years & never got problem ( so far) with it when it concerns to immigration. as long as you pay the fine.

thank you all for the reply.

that's the thing, i dont wanna waste my $595 plus the $80 biometrics if im still not eligible to apply. that's a big money for me. thanks thou for the reply.

hello everybody! I have tried to put off to ask this question. I think its time for me to know when do i need to apply for citizenship. I lost my husband last year with cancer. Before he died we called the USCIS 1-800 number to asked if I could still apply for citizenship since he would not be around on that time. Of course, knowing USCIS we have two conflicting statements from different representative we talked. One says that I would not have a problem to get a citizenship since our marriage is true. Then my husbands next question was when i can apply for citizenship, then the lady rep said that 3 yrs after the GC was issued ( which gonna be 2009). Then the other representative we talked said that i can apply for citizenship after 5 yrs.( from the GC issue date) if my husband dies before our 3 yr. anniversary. Which he died last year, we had not had a chance to celebrate my daughters 1st birthday.

Now im confused on what year im going to apply for citizenship. I would like to apply as soon as I can, as I have a 2 yr. old & I would like to petition my mom so I have help taking care with my daughter while im working. Its hard to raise a child by yourself & dont have any single family near you.

Can somebody please give some advise or anybody has some information about this situation. I would appreciate any advises or comments I receive.

Thank you all!

guys pls. add me to the list. i just got my 10 yr. green card from mail today.. yeeheeyyyy!!! a very good christmas gift for this year!!! to all who are still waiting.. hang on there!! your turn will be next..

congratulations!! good for you. we the VSC are still waitingfor a miracle that hopefully they will speed up processing our application so we can move on with our life..

Hi all! I just double checked my NOA though it states there that if i have question tp call the VSC but the weird this the first 3 letter of my NOA is EAC, yes im not wrong its EAC!!! does anybody know what's EAC means? as far as i know its only 4 service center & There's no EAC. or maybe im just wrong. has someone had same NOA as me?>

Hi guys! dont know how to add myself on the timelines. Anyone who's got time to add me, pls. do. I would really appreciate it. Filed my I751 to TSC in January 13, 2008. Reeived NOA jan. 24, 2008 & states also that my service center is VSC. Biometrics was Feb. 22, 2008. Thanks again. Good luck to all of is!!!

Hi senka,

They will give you 1 year extension after you file for the removal of condition. Mine expires Feb. 11 this year & file my removal of conditions january of this yr & after 2 weeks they sent me a letter that states that I have 1 year extension & is allowed to work. so don't worry. take care!!!

thanks miscious,greg & dolly. i could not find their local ofc nos. what i did is i pulled thru map quest the 2 address' & i will try to go to collier rd first then if its not there then i will just go to that new address. i will go in atlanta 1 day early so me& my friends can see the craziest traffic of atlanta. . you all just wish me luck that i will still be sane after driving the atlanta traffic.

hi all! i will have my fingerprinting/ biometrics done this feb 22 in atlanta, ga. i received my appt. letter; the address that where im suppose to go is in collier rd ( my guess, this is the old address of the uscis office). then last night i read somewhere that effective feb 21, 2008 that the atlanta uscis will be on their new office which is the parkway rd (something like that). does anybody knows which is the correct address? is their any number i could call? bcoz they did not put any contacct number on my appointment letter.

thanks for any help!

congratulations!!! ijust gotmy biometric appointment today, it will be on the feb.22. i guess the uscis is working faster this year! maybe its their new year resolution. lol!!!im from the texas service center.

and additional info. he was never sick or diagnose with cancer before we met. so its not that we know it even before. he was just diagnosed on 2006 & i can pull out medical records for that if that help in the long run. any input will be highly appreciated.

sorry i didn't get it right away.

i thought that's why i have to file to waive the joint filing requirement due to the death. my husband called the 800 number when he was sick & ask them about it, they said that i have to file to waive the joint filing. dont know how reliable they are. but im hoping i will still be able to file for naturalization.

sorry nick 81 im going to attach a question that is related to your third question. on attaching copies of cards (e.g. christmas or smypathy cards) do i need to copy the envelop of the card that shows where it came from? or just the content of the card where our friends signed it? thanks for any answer.

yes it is 3 yrs for american citizen & 5 yrs for non american spouse. my husband's an american citizen, so i will have hopefully my naturalization next year.

i did not realize until december that my gc is going to expire in 02/08.

Thanks len. i already have his death cert & my daughter's birth cert. too. I already have the affidavits, some of our bills. not all our bills were in our name, its either his or mine. so i dont know what else i need to submit. we dont have much property together since i just move here 3 yrs ago then he got sick. thanks for the prayers again & i hope they (USCIS) won't be too hard on me. I already have enough with them since i move here. take care

Hi yu & dan. pls. clarify for me. Its been a long time i have not done or do some reading here in vj. as far as i know i need to file a removing conditions, my green card will expire next month. they approve my gc feb 2006. i am not qualified ( till 2009)yet to get a naturalization since the counting of 3 yrs. is froom the time they approve your gc. unless im worng with this. if someone could verify this. i would appreciate it.

thanks!

hi all! i have few questions regarding applying for removing conditions.

1. Do i need to submit photo's of me & my husband? as an evidence of relationship?

2. I read before that submitting the application, it should not be stapled or use paper clip the documents. is this true? so what kind of stuff do i need to use to keep my documents in order?

3. Do i need to make a cover letter?

Thanks for any help!!

thank's for the advices & comments! i appreciate it very much!

i know this may sound stupid! but im confused, can anyone clarify this to me? so after i file for my PR removal of condition & if they will approve it.

1.they will give me a 10 yr. PR? is this right?

2.do i have to wait for 10 yrs before i can apply for citizenship?

and also, me & my husband dont have names together on our properties and bank account ( he was divorced before so he does not want his ex get some of our stuff that we put up together).

3. will i have trouble filing for my I751?

and last question; i know i read somewhere last yr. re; applying for I751 without a spouse. can someone help me find the link pls.

my hubby passed away april this year (at age of 39, due to cancer), we dont have much travelling because he was ill the last year. im trying to settle my immigration status here before i will make a big decision. any coments & advise is much appreiated.
