Hi everyone, Finally I got some good news, I got my card today, it's been a long journey and I still have the citizenship to go. Well, I got my interview on October 6, the funny thing is that the Inmigration officer who interview me and my husband luckily was the same one who had interview us for the adjustment of status, so she remembered us and everything went so smooth, was actually a nice conversation, I felt like an idiot after panicking for so long and making my husband panic too...lol. She said the reason I got call for an interview was cause we had move a lot in the las three years, we have been in 4 different states and about 7 different addresses, so that kinda raise some red alerts on us. So, basically it took a whole year since I send the papers to get my card in hand....thanks everybody for your support and expertise advice, it's been an amazing experience that it wouldn't been possible without your help!!!!

hi dedee, i called on july 3 after the 60 days period, and i asked to talk to an agent 2, which is an inmigration officer, she told me my address was correct, so the update was succesful and she also said my case was transfered to my local office for an interview, i guess the delay was because i use to live in the east coast and i filed with vsc, and in april i moved to the west coast, so maybe that was the problem.

i asked agent 2 to please do another inquiry about my case, and she did, so about a week ago i received a letter from my local office saying they have my correct address now and that they have my case and they will call me for an interview in august or september, which i think is really bad cause they dont say an exactly date and i was planning to go visit my family in my home country in august....so another plan i will miss because of uscis.

my thoughts for you will be to call and ask to speak to agent 2, you have to be polite with the people at the call center but at the same time be firm and ask to speak to an inmigration officer, they have the same info you will get if you ask for an infopass appointment.

best of luck for you, ill keep you posted with my interview.

hi everyone!

at this point I dont know what to think anymore, so many days, weeks and months without sleeping and with so much stress, dont know when this nightmare is gonna stop.

my 6 months were may 1, i called and of course they didnt have any info at the call center, so i did an inquiry and they gave me a confirmation number, the robot in the call center said i should hear from them in the next 30 days.....so, in may 11 i receive an email from uscis telling that i did an inquiry and i should hear from them in the next 60 days ( so who is right the robot or the email???), anyway, last week i called and finally could talk to an agent 2, this very nice lady told me my change of address havent been updated in the system correctly, which is confusing since i did receive a letter from uscis to my new address confirming the change i did online. her advice was to just do the change of adress again for the system be able to update, i did it right away, the 2 days later i made my husband call and they told him to tell the address again cause is not update, so my husband says the whole thing again but this time on the phone with agent 2.

so, on friday i got 2 letters from uscis telliing me about the change of address,,,,,so what????, why they dont say something about my case???, whats wrong??, i dont care if they call me for interview, altough i would prefer they coming to my house and inspect every part of it to finally conclude i am truly married to my husband. i dont care, i just want a damn answer!!!

im still waiting...i was liivng in miami last week, now i am in california and will move again this week to oregon, i am very confused right now about my case cause dont know if the fact of coming to the west coast will make them transfer my case to california and if that will mean another 6 months of wait. this is just messing with my life and plans....had a trip planned to dubai to visit my husband and everything got screwed up, he had to come back to the states and i couldnt get to see dubai.

by the way i think lilycarter already got her interview and she was approved.

good luck all!!

OMG ####### BBQ!!

I got my Green Card in the mail today!! :dance:

No approval notice, online case still showing as untouched since 9 Nov

Date of approval based on the card date was 24 March.

congrats desilu!!

hope mine is next!!

OMG this is killing me.

how come VSC is approving people from january and havent finished with october...so unfair!!...this waiting is messing with my life and plans...

what a contradiction, i have to wait for them to give me a green card so i can travel to see my husband (the american citizen) who is working in the middle east.

hi everyone!!

i would appreciate if someone could give me a good advise about my case. i am right now removing conditions in my residency and I am actually living in miami, fl, but by the end of the month i will be going to dubai with a residency visa sponsored by my american husband who is living and working currently in dubai. I will apply for citinzenship by october this year, so i need to know if the fact of going to dubai to stay with my husband will make a difference in my procces or if is other way to procces the citizenship if u are living overseas.

thanks and kind regards.

Thanks gigi673, it's nice to know somebody else is in the same situation.I will put all the addresses where I stay at, but I just wonder what address I should put as the main one and if I need to file AR-11...we will write a cover letter and send in with our application also...

I didnt file the AR-11, didnt even know that exists...lol

i think u should put ur actual address and put all ur husbands bussiness to the address where u live in now.

good luck!!

I'll let u know how my procces ends.

I appreciate any input/help for this thing me and my husband are going through.

The deadline for us to file jointly to remove my conditions on my green card is in June 2011. The story we have is that we got married in Feb 2009, and we stayed in LA in my mother-in-law's place since Feb 2009 to July 2009. After that my husband decided to join the marine. In the mean time, I couldn't find a job as a new nurse in LA, so I had to go back to TX (where I lived before I met my husband) and I found a job there and have been working there as a nurse ever since. My husband of course had to go through boot camp and training in different states, but he still kept his mother's address as his home address. He now stations temporarily in South California. We contact each other often and maintain a solid relationship.

Now it's almost time to us to file for I-751, but I'm not sure what address should I use. We file I-485 using our LA address. Should I use the LA address or use the TX address for I-751? I just don't want to raise any red flag unnecessary. For question #9, "Have you resided at any other address since you became a permanent residence?", I will put both addresses.

When I moved to TX, I didn't file any change of address form either. If I do it right now (AR-11) before we file the I-751, would it be ok? What is the best thing to do?

Thank you!

hi paragon, i just realize we are in the same situation, i met my husband online, i'm from colombia, came with a k1 fiance visa, when my hubby started the fiance procces he was living in utah, then when i came to the country he was living in vegas, we married there and i started the AOS procces there, for the ecnomy crisis in 2008 we had to move to portland, oregon, staying there i went to the interview with him that was approved.

i got my conditional GC while in Oregon, then my husband found this great job overseas (irak) and we arranged everything for me going to miami to stay with my uncle(only family in USA), so we packed everything, and put all our stuff in an storage in portland, 1 week before the date my husband was supposed to leave to irak, the company said the are not hiring him anymore...that was terrible, no options, i didnt have a job and my husband neither, so our only choice was moving in with my husband's parents in rancho mirage, CA. we went there on april 2009, hubby got a job there and we were living at my inlaw's house for 6 months till october 2009, when hubby got another great oportunity, this time to kuwait, he went there, i came to miami, stayed with my uncle and then moved on my own and started working inmediatly, since then i have been living in about 7 different places, thats a lot of stuff going on in just 3 years.

so i already filled out my ROC in october 2010, and i put every address i have live since i married him. so just say the truth, i recomend u to write a letter explaining the situation and why u are living separate right now, thats what i did. plus i think ur case is special cause ur husband is a marine and they have permissions that regular people dont.

seriously!!!!!...what is going on in Vermont????

its been a longgggg wait!!

does anybody knows if there is any difference in the ROC procces is u came in a K1 visa??

hi everyone, i am a late october filler, if someone could please add me to the VSC list.

ok, i guess i am to paranoic right now, thinking they stop giving info thru the website.lol

thanks guys for the replies...hoping this nightmare ends soon.

is it just me or the uscis website have been aout of service the whole day??? someone else with the same problem??

leah, diana y nana....muchas gracias por sus palabras, les cuento que con mi esposo me va muy bien, como todo tenemos altibajos pero eso creo que es lo mas normal del mundo sobretodo en una pareja que esta aprendiendo a convivir, y bueno si a todo eso le sumas las diferencias culturals, pues alli tenemos pa entretenernos un rato...los gringos son muy independientes y ellos esperan lo mismo de sus mujeres, yo que en Cartagena me creia muy independiente aqui me he dado cuenta que no lo soy para nada, o quizas mi confusion radica en que me he tardado mucho para ubicarme, para saber donde quedan ciertos lugares, etc...al principio ni siquiera sabia la diferencia entre el estado de washington y washington DC, jajajaja....hasta que un dia cogi el computador y me aprendi literalmente todos los estados y sus capitales y mi esposo se quedo con la boca abierta....jajajaa.

yo tengo ya 9 meses viviendo aqui y pienso que me he adapatado bien a la comida, las costumbres, etc...yo ya hablaba algo de ingles pero al llegar entre en panico y me daba verguenza hablar, no queria que la gente pensara que yo era estupida o algo asi, pero ahora poco a poco me he ido soltando y ya soy capaz de ordenar en el restaurant o de hablar por telefono con una gringa, etc.

por otro lado ya me comunique con yazz y quiero agradecerle porque quizas ella no lo sepa pero sus palabras ayer fueron de una ayuda infinita, la guia que me dio para empezar a ubicarme laboralmente no tiene precio, hasta ayer yo pensaba que me seria imposible desempenarme como abogada en este pais, pero gracias a ella he recuperado la confianza en mi misma y se que todo es posible, es solo cuestion de esforzarse...asi que a ponerse las pilas y a buscar trabajo!!...nada me haria mas feliz que mi esposo se sintiera orgulloso de mi y poder ayudarle con los gastos.

besos y saluditos para todos

ojala que nos podamos comunicar personalmente algun dia

hola a todos, soy nueva en este foro, soy colombiana, de cartagena....llegue con visa de fiance como muchos de ustedes, estuve viviendo en las vegas y ahora estoy en portland, oregon.

la verdad estoy bastante deprimida por el estilo de vida que llevo, no estoy trabajando, me siento muy sola, mi esposo solo habla ingles, asi que extranno mucho la comunicacion en mi idioma y mis costumbres.

si hay alguien en esta area me gustaria conocerlo.

besos y saluditos para todos

hola a todos....eso de la reunion me suena bastante, seria muy chevere tener gente por alla. quien va a estar cerca de las vegas o quien viaja el 18 d emarzo??

bueno les cuento que ese dia estaba muy asustada, llegue desde las 7 am y la entrevista me la hicieron a eso de las 12 del medio dia, asi que vayanse bien desayunaditos, tambien bien abrigados porq hace demasiado frio. cuando la oficial consular me llamo, al principio fue muy amable, pero luego me pregunto que si yo tenia familia en U.S.A. yo le dije que un tio en miami, me dijo que desde cuando conocia a mi novio y yo le dije que desde junio de 2006, inmediatamnete me dijo que porq razon yo habia solicitado la visa de turista en abril de 2007 y habia mentido diciendo que no tenia familia alla, que esa mentira era muy grave y que a un oficial consular no se le podia mentir, entonces yo le dije que esa solicitud me la habia llenado una agencia de viajes y ellos habian puesto eso. yo casi me pongo a llorar porq pense q no me la iba a dar. pero luego ella se tranquilizo y solo me pregunto que cuando habia conocido a mi novio en persona, yo le dije que en mayo de 2007, por cuantos dias?, yo le dije q 4 dias, no le preocupa haberlo conocido solo 4 dias y querer casarse? yo le dije q no porq mantenemos contacto diario, que si el conocia a mi familia? le dije q no, q solo por camara en internet. que en q trabaja el? le dije q en salud ocupacional, y luego me pregunto q si yo habia cometido algun delito o habia estado en prision, le dije q no y enseguida me dijo su visa fue otorgada y dirijase a la oficina de Domesa. eso fue todo, fue muy rapido.

espero q les sirva de algo estas preguntas.

besos y mucha suerte a todos...

hola a todos....bueno les cuento que este foro definitivamente si tiene mucha suerte, ya que mi entrevista fue el 20 de febrero y ya me aprobaron mi visa, pase unos dias terribles super estresada pero gracias a Dios todo salio muy bien, mi entrevista me la hicieron toda en español y me hicieron muy pocas preguntas, la consul solo duro conmigo alrededor de 5 minutos.

ahora estoy muy feliz y ya tengo viaje programado para el 18 de marzo. me voy para las vegas, si alguien esta cerca q por favor se comunique conmigo ya q seria rico tener gente de mi pais por alla.

sera que alguien me puede informar si la radoigrafia que nos toman hay que llevarsela? y que papeles se necesitan para el matrimonio?

gracias a todos por sus buenas energias y para quienes aun estan en el proceso les deseo lo mejor y no se desesperen, sean constantes y tengan mucha Fe en Dios, que él todo lo puede.

saludos.

hola a todos disculpen la molestia pero tengo la inquitud sobre algo que estoy leyendo en el foro y sobre lo que veo en el paquete 4 que habla sobre 380 dolares y quisiera saber en lo que se trata de los medicos cuanta plata se lleva esas vueltas por favor si alguien me puede ayudar le darias las gracias o si alguien ya realizo estas vueltas me contarian cuanto dinero gastaron y que me recomendaria para ese dia la cita de mi novio es el 14 de marzo y quisiera ir precavida y otra cosa q queria preguntar es q no le ha llegado el paquete 4 cuanto demora eso para llegar y cuales son los papeles q vienen en ese paquete. Y tambien queria saber si debo hacer la cita de medico ahora o espero q llegue el paquete 4 y tambien q llenamos el DS 230 parte 1 paginas 1 y 2. tengo q llevar parte 2 a la embajada o ellos me lo dan alla. muchas gracias y perdona por hacerles tantas preguntas.,....

hola... quizas no sea la mas experta pero acabo de pasar por lo del paquete 4, asi que tal vez te pueda ayudar...en el paquete 3 te llega un DS230 y un OF-169, esos dos documentos debes doligenciarlos y enviarlos inmediatamente a la embajada por fax y por correo, es solo el DS-230 parte I, en ninmgun momento hablan del parte 2. ten en cuenta que el DS-230 parte I tiene 2 paginas y ambas deben ser llenadas.

en cuanto envies esos documentos a la direccion que aparece en el paquete 3 de la em,bajada, te sera devuelto el paquete 4 con nuevas instrucciones... en mi caso tardo en llegar aprox 20 dias. por favor ten en cuenta que cuando envies los documentos a la embajada siempre debes colocar tu nombre y numero del caso es decir el que comienza por BGT..., eso es muy importante.

lo de los examenes medicos debes espérar que te llegue el paquete 4 diciendote el dia de la cita y alli te dan instrucciones acerca del medico y todo. el valor es de 135.000 pesos examen medico y 150.000 examenes de laboratorio, y lo que debes pagar en el banco de credito para el derecho a la visa son 131 dolares.

espero que esto te ayude en algo
