Nickle the order you send your I-751 packet should be up to you, remember each case varies, just follow the same order on your AOS Adjustment of Status, and you'll do fine. We are going to send our packet next Monday and we did exactly like AOS order, strong evidence in front, not so strong in the middle and extra in the end such as (pictures, membership at stores and zoo etc.)

Personally I don't give a lick if an employer ask me to see my GC for verification as long as I get my position and the money I deserve. What about positions that requires applicants to be US Citizen only? is that discrimination against LPR

Don't know about bank statements, but the other day I got pulled over by a cop who wanted to see my driver license. I made him wait until I had blacked out my address with a black marker so that he can't visit me at home and stalk me.

You never know . . .

the cop could see everything on his laptop about you, getting your address off of it was a total waste of your energy, you should have blacked out the number on DL. Einstein

It does indeed matter what is written on the card.

An immigrant who does not yet have a green card will have to produce the Social Security card (along with their EAD) to satisfy the requirements of the I9 when hired for a job.

Conversely,an immigrant who has a green card should have the notation removed from the SS card. An immigrant with a State ID (such as a driver's license) and a non-restricted Social Security card NEVER has to show their green card to get a job. It's discrimination if the employer asks for it.

I have to disagree with that part of your comment, an immigrant who apply for a job must prove authorization of employment in the US, (EAD or GC) whichever comes first.

I had to give my EAD to my employer and after that they called me again to bring in my GC, they declined a fax, I needed to bring it in to show it in person.

i think people need to remember most of this has already been reviewed at your first interview or when adjusting to permanent resident status. they just want to make sure that you're basically still together. don't overthink this.

They want evidence during the 2 years of marriage, not evidence you submitted to adjust status, USCIS is only interested in evidence during your conditional residence anything before that is meaningless at best.

thx u but the dmv send me a lettere said that i need to prove my residente here and my GC go to expired in April

so i just can wait for my 10 y GC or what ? thx again

Take your expired GC along with your NOA1 and explain that you are waiting for a 10 year card maybe they will then take a copy of your NOA and renew your DL for another year or more.

How did you find your CPA? We did HR last year and are not sure we want to use them again to file our returns.

I found a CPA by simply Google in public accountant for tax preparation in my city, followed by recommendation from customers, choose the one with highest recommendation close to 5 star and shop for better price also, some will be cheaper than H&R Block. Good luck

Not that I am suggesting that the OP does this to circumvent the law, but I do have the following question: Could he adjust his status if he married a USC and she filed the I-130 for him? Or would he still need to leave the country, face the ban, and then for the "imaginary" USC wife to file the I-130 and the waiver? Or would this not work either?

Yes in his case, the overstayed would be forgiven. and the second question is for people that entered the US without inspection or overstayed their VWP

Hello everyone i got my receipt Notice date 02/09/2011. the letter says that my conditional status is extended for a period of one year.. that s means they are going to send me another one for one year period like paperwork or what?

thx

No, you will not receive another GC for a year, the NOA just extended your actual status for another year until your remove of condition is approved.

I have to agree with Dagobert. Stay away from H&R Block, these guys almost screw us on our taxes for 2010, the lady told me my allowances were too high for Married 2, I should put Married 1 because married already add me and my wife, we were so confused, plus she found our refund for Federal only 270 dollars. We went to a CPA instead and got almost 1000 back with free direct deposit and efile.

This is why they created K1 and CR1 visa so people could bring their love one with less hassle. Now you're talking about spending a significant amount of money and time just to keep your husband from being deported, and if he does go back you will have to wait 10 years unless apply for a waiver proving extreme hardship if you move back with your husband to England, and I doubt there's any extreme hardship to move to such a beautiful country with free health care.

Sorry about your situation, and I will you good luck on your journey

Strange thing just happened to me just now. I just receive an Email and Text message on my Card Production.

On January 26, 2011, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. The thing is I received an Email notification on this on Jan 10, 2011 and was approved Jan 12, 2011. The case #'s are the same.

I will call USCIS later about this. Maybe that's why I haven't received my card as yet. I just hope there are no issues or further delays. Anyone ever come across this situation? Receiving 2 different Card Production Dates?

I don't think you should worry about it too much, it just a glitch on USCIS system, I received two different notice of card production as well if you take a look at my timeline.

Just like people that have their Citizenship already and their ROC still say pending online.

Congratulations, ROC rarely have interview thats why you were the only one waiting, plus you guys were separated for a long time and you've lived with friend, out of state which raised some suspicious on your case.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

hi every body i m new in this website and i supose to send my pakage next week but i have some questions

what is the best evidence that i can send with i 751 application and is the fingerprints fee included or coming after

how much the total

thx

click on that link for step by step guide http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

You will need a check of 590.00 for lifting condition, the biometric fee is included.

How long after filling 2010 income tax return, can we ask for a transcript with IRS, we would like to include that in our application to, so we can have 3 years of filling jointly instead of 08 and 09

Probably a newer one, a two year old document means less, who's to say you are no longer living together there??

I would attach several items showing a shared address, a couple sworn affidavits from friends or family knowing your relationship are very strong evidence..

While asking for a new one will not hurt, we gonna have 3 years of married filling jointly for tax transcript, that should be very strong right? 08,09,10 tax returns.

Yes, you can put her married name. The form also asks for your wife's SSN, so when the USCIS runs a check on it, they will see it is in her married last name.

As a gentle reminder, try not to put off the application too close to the end of the 90-day window. Some members have done so, and have reported packages returned due to unsigned forms or incorrect amounts on checks...by the time they get it fixed, the 90 days had passed and their GCs expired, which is a major pain to fix.

Thank you very much for your prompt replies, and I am going to put her married name then, we plan to mail everything by the first week of march.

Also we have a copy of our leasing contract that we had for our AOS interview, can this be used for Lifting condition since we still live at the same address or should we ask for a new copy at the leasing office.

That will be fine, however May 27 - 90 days is actually Feb 26..

Yes, use married name if she wishes her green-card to have married name on it.

Changing name on a green card later will cost you an extra $450 to file an I-90

Actually she's the US Citizen, I am her husband the Conditional GC holder, she has my lastname, should I put that on the I-751 for Family name or her maiden name.

You have to apply for removal of conditions within 90 days before your conditional GC expires.

What name appears on all your wife's IDs? Is it her married name or her maiden name? Whatever name she is using as her legal name is what you should put on part 4.

OK so my 90 days window begins on February 28 is that correct?

She is using my lastname right now, its on her DL and SSN, but her passport still have her maiden name, should I go ahead and put her married lastname

My Conditional GC expires on May 27th 2011, when should I send my application to remove condition, and on part 4. information about spouse to whom I gained condition residence, should I put my wife Maiden name or her married lastname since she has my last name now.

I did some research about your situation here's what Ive found:

VAWA subsidizes Green Card scams

By Carey Roberts

The Violence Against Women Act underwrites Green Card lottery schemes, lures foreign women into prostitution, and tars innocent American men as abusers — all at taxpayer expense. Here's how it works.

Green Card Girls — women who inveigle unsuspecting single men to bring them to the United States — are a well-known fixture in the international dating scene. An internet search on the term turns up chat room discussions, how-to books, X-rated videos, and more.

Once she latches on to her Prince Charming, the Green Card Girl can look forward to life in the Land of Milk and Honey. Even if the relationship goes sour, no problem, she can dump the guy and accuse him of domestic violence.

Then she dashes to the local abuse shelter. Thanks to the Violence Against Women Act, she now qualifies for emergency housing and can bypass the usual two-year waiting period to land her coveted Green Card. And she's entitled to free legal help.

All this is common knowledge. Do a Google search on "green card" and VAWA and you'll turn up nearly 10,000 hits.

Immigration authorities are aware of the scam. One official explains the shake-down this way: "Beautiful young women...entice a poor, unsuspecting 40-50-year old into marrying them, and then methodically proceed to ruin his life: calling 911 to report a wife-beating...going to a domestic abuse shelter."

One such man is Michael Wnuk, an engineering professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. Diagnosed with cancer, he met one vivacious Lidia Kolisnichenko of Poland who promised she could help — but first he would have to marry her.

Days after the wedding, her mood darkened. Her husband had never hit or harmed her, but that was beside the point.

Lidia then staged a confrontation scene, ripping a phone from his hand, hysterically running from the house, and frantically imploring the neighbors for help. Now she had "witnesses" to her charge. Then she took a B-line to the local shelter, which welcomed her with open arms.

Over the ensuring months Michael Wnuk spent thousands to clear his good name. "I am financially ruined and emotionally devastated," the engineering professor laments.

Lidia Kolisnichenko is just one of thousands of Green Card Girls who each year flee to abuse shelters to become "certified" victims of violence. According to a recent survey by Eleanor Lyon and Shannon Lane at the University of Connecticut, 15% of residents at abuse shelters are there to get help for their immigration problems.

That means a lawyer who is willing to tell the woman that merely raising your voice is the same as full-fledged physical violence. According to the Legal Assistance Foundation of Chicago, "possessiveness" or needing to "walk on eggshells" are all signs of extreme cruelty. The attorney then coaches her how to complete the application for a restraining order.

I'm sure a few of these cases are legitimate and the ladies need our help. But many of these shelters are flim-flam operations. When the director at the Community Fellowship for Battered Women in northern California admits that persons are admitted simply because "they tell a good story," you know something fishy is going on.

So how do our billion-dollar-a-year federal domestic violence programs come into the picture?

First, they funnel money to immigrant aide organizations like ASISTA that openly advertise a Green Card can be had merely for the asking.

Second, they order the Citizenship and Immigration Service to give special deference to any woman who claims abuse — no proof needed. These petitions are rubber-stamped at an office in Vermont where the CIS adjudicator has little chance of verifying the petitioner's story.

Third, they channel millions to abuse shelters around the country who help perjurers file false accusations of abuse so they can ruin men's lives and qualify for government aid.

This is done in the name of protecting women and eradicating domestic violence.

I don't think so.. but it will not look good for you - it makes it look like you married this person with a different intention than the real-marriage...

LOOK OUT FOR THE CHEATERS LMAO!!!

Contact a very experienced lawyer asap, do not let them start removal procedure on you, the lawyer will talk your way out in front of the judge so they can put your case on hold untill your divorce is final.

They are right! let me give you a lil bit of light
