I'm glad you started this topic.. thanks!

Our love story is also a success! Well, we are married for almost 5 years now, with two beautiful kids a girl and a boy... love my married life!

and waiting for my N-400 interview next week. I will update you guys next week! hope to pass yaiks! hahaha! just happy )

Visa journey , this website helped me a lot! and i helped some friends too, through this and i am grateful!

we asked the USC about all his divorce certificate and he agrees to make a copy of them for the uscis.

thanks guys for sharing the informations!

You really do need ALL copies of divorce decrees.

Thank you! we will see them today and sit down fill the G-325A ..hope to finish all

the paper works this week.

I feel good to help. and I am so thankful to all the VJ members who gave their answers to all my questions.

God bless you all!

You and your husband are wrong.

really? well, that is your opinion.

I do believe in good karma. it is better to help others than the other way around.

if they cooperate or not it is not our lost.

Yes, he will need to show proof of any prior marriages and their terminations.

If he does not then the AoS will be denied. It's not optional.

me and my husband are thinking that he can probably show the 4th divorce certificate.. we'll see.

Yeah, unclear how he could have navigated the K-1. Also, did he show all 4 divorce certificates? You will need those for AOS too. All of them...

He paid a person to assist his wife and their K-1 before with the financial help from his parents.

Harpa, does he really need to enclose his 4 divorce certificates? because i am not really sure if he will allow it.

What is the nature of his diability?

His back severely damage.

You need the marriage certificate.

Thank You!

Boiler , you are right he had some issues.. the wife is his 5th

i was thinking about the difference between a marriage license and a marriage certificate..

they showed me the marriage licence but no marriage certificate.

I mean they have marriage contract but they don't have the marriage license.

does it matter if one of this is missing?

The excuse was that the Husband is disabled, but they somehow got through the K1 process.

Perhaps he has had issues subsequently.

Sometimes it is much better to pass things on to a disinterested third party, the Husband would probably respond better to a Lawyer than a friend.

I don't know about this arrangement either, but to answer your questions...

1/2. that's fine, she can have both names right now. Just fill out the forms in her married name and then when her GC comes she can change it with SSA. You don't need to show her SS card to anyone for USCIS, just use the number. It's still her.

3. Doesn't matter, but you don't resend, you are just filing a whole new thing. The other thing was "rejected." The other thing was fail, no need to reference it in any way.

Thank you so much for the quick response! highly appreciate it

I have an old post here about a friend staying here in the US for almost 2 years now without a greencard.

They got married, filed AOS but was rejected due to incomplete informations(i just found out the rejection letter last saturday after

trying to help them for a long time now.. they are taking their precious time.)

the husband is disabled his excuse.

his wife,knows nothing about anything so sad. They are church friends, the parents of the USC are warning their son about her status

and ask my help for their paper works and they are willing to pay for their daughter inlaws AOS fees.

As I was digging their rejection papers from USCIS, i can't help but wonder "what in the world!"

they sent : no checks no any kind of fees, missing signatures, the name of the wife still in her maiden name..

they dont have a marriage certificate,

I am trying to fill up some forms for them but it's giving me a real bad headache. they dont have there in the form

her A # nor her I-94 number they left it empty.

husband no social security number in the form.

My Questions

1. Her social security and state ID is still in her maiden name.. not using her married name.

they told me the ss won't allow them to change her maiden to married. they said she needs to get

her greencard first before they can change her name to her married name.

but she uses her husband's family name in their bank account and her insurance.

2. Can i send proofs one with her maiden names on it and some with her married names on it?

I am so confused about all of this. or i need to tell them to go back to the social security office with valid proofs

and change the name to married? they did medical in her maiden name too.

3. About the rejection Notice - they address it to her maiden name not her married name.

we will going to resend the papers back to USCIS. can we change it to her married name, the papers/forms?

Please VJ friends, I need an enlightment to all of this. Thank you!

You don't have to apply the N400 within 90 days as you have a 10 years green card. You become eligible in the 90 days which in your case that means 4/28/2013. You have 10 years now, whenever you want to apply you can. Good luck.

wow! that is a very good news! money is always tight and one way to come up with the right amount of

fee for this N-400 is to save. that is what i am doing right now. so i will probably stick to my plan to apply

in August or September to be more prepared.

Thank you so much for the big help! God bless you!

SO this means that i can apply N-400 anytime now? within 90 days? April,May and June??

we are still saving money for the fee because i thought it will still be in August before i can apply.

Hmmm..or i can wait to apply anytime this year??? if i can file early as this i will find the way to come up

for the fee.

Thank you guys for the information! I highly appreciate it.

Got my 10 year greencard last April. I was wondering if I am correct in my calculation on filling for the N-400 this coming August.

I am a little confused since I had traveled back to the Philippines last year for just 3 weeks vacation.

My question is, will this affect my filling date? Somebody said that i just need to deduct the 20 days or 21 days of not being physically

present here in the US. Is this true? like for example my residence started 07/27/2010 in my greencard.

I hope somebody will correct my calculation if I am wrong.

So this coming July 27,2013 it will be my 3rd year permanent resident anniversary.

So the earlist filling of N-400 will be July 28,2013.. and since somebody said that i left the US for 3 weeks vacation,

that i need to deduct the date i spent outside the US.. for example : instead of July 28..

i need to file the N-400 in August( like Aug. 19,2013 will be a safe day since that day is Monday). Is this correct?

Thank you all for the big help! To each and everyone who participated on this. I will update this post on every development.

right now they will call the civil surgein first and schedule an appointment. we visited them last time and their old AOS are incomplete.

also the husband is so lazy to start this paper works even printing the forms i showed

it to them but still,he is asking for my help on the paper works ((( meaning i will be the typist wahahaha!

well, me and my husband are already in this situation so we will stay with them until they have all the forms completed.

it is a headache for me( i have 2 little kids) but i guess i will also do my N-400 forms in advance to review for my august application.

Until then my VJ friends!!! God Bless you all!

Overstay does NOT require the help of a lawyer. If the couple can follow the instructions and fill out forms there is no need to waste money on a lawyer because of their situation. The overstay is completely irrelevant to the issuance of a Greencard.

Tell them to do this: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos

This thread is going in circles.

To the above: a fee waiver is IMPOSSIBLE for a I-485 based on I-129F and subsequent marriage to the petitioner.

Thank you!

what's wrong with direction by consensus, here at VJ?

well, i understand. that is what i am trying to follow. i trust this website since i joined.

I'm just worried about the need of an immigration attorney for their case(some people's advice).

If i can just tell them to follow the step by step information here in VJ

to do their paper works again and the medical that will be more easier.

My Husband wants us to help them with their paper work through this website and i don't mind helping.

this couple's number 1 problem last time they did the AOS is money. and asking for an attorney to help is impossible

now that they are aware of her status(in danger, scared of getting deported) they just want to stay home and help the little business of the parents.

to be safe. looking for an immigration attorney i think is the last priority(the usc is disable)

I want to clear this again, they will re-do AOS through the financial help of the usc's parents.

will it be a good advice for this couple to just call the uscis and ask for information on what to do??? i will think twice if i were in their shoes.

some say it's based on the marriage date, so pay attention to that timetick.

re: attorney - how good of a a reader is HE? If he can follow the GUIDE for this, in the GUIDES section here at VJ, he should have no problem.

OR

He's already got a complete AOS set - what's keeping him from re-using it? Something smells, like 90 day old balut.

re-using the old AOS??? The usc husband can read i guess..so they don't need a lawyer is that what you mean? thanks!

Wow! i am greatly overwhelmed by the participation of the vj members!

Thanks so much to Artisan,The Patriot, Peterpan,Vanessa&Tony,Dave&Roza,Darnell,BlueBianchi,Gowon,BirdieGirl85.

Question:

Now, I am not sure if they can afford an immigration lawyer(for sure expensive attorney fee).Do they really need it???

They told me the parents of the usc will help pay for their AOS case. so i am not sure if they can afford an immigration attorney.

DO they really need to include I- 130??? some say yes and some say no..

They can file AOS now, and they should. His wife is currently living illegally in the US and is subject to deportation. She can't get a job, drive legally, or travel internationally.

Her medical has expired and she needs a new one. Besides that, it will be a (mostly) normal AOS. She cannot use the travel document, Advance Parole, because of her overstay, though. She will have to wait to travel until she gets her Greencard.

He should protect his wife and her status by filing AOS ASAP.

She is not driving, she's not attending school. and no intention of travelling.

but she have a state ID .. right now the parents of her husband have a business, they help.. that makes them busy.

again, as of this writing they are checking their old AOS and will go back to redo it.

I can see now why you have a hard on for this.

The Patriot is right and is not the first time I've read the views of the CFO. Perhaps they should just do like Russia with the adoptions and just ban any marriage between Americans if we're that bad.

To Gowon:

we (vjers) did our own battle in this visa journey and we know the pain and hard work include the money ofcourse.

that is why we are all in the right direction hmm..i just checked my timeline

me and my husband talked about her being illegal..ofcourse! she's here for free while we are all had our share of pain

headache and did our best to save money just to prepare for all of this step by step.

I will not join those people who is so bitter and will call the police for them to detain this poor lady. i dunno (shaking my head) i told you call it

ignorance of the law for them. instead,i shared with them my visajourney...to enlighten them about her future if she still wants to stay or not in a good situation here in america.

I posted this topic here to gather infos so i can pass it to them. Some Information gives a big hope..i am a positive person so i will just

mind the positive action and reaction. anyways, as of this writing they are now gathering all what they need to start it again.

I wonder why they thought it was important to file AOS the first time around, but then when it got sent back because they didn't pay the fees, then all of a sudden, he thinks it doesn't need to be sent anymore? If he thought AOS didn't need to be filed, why did he even do it the first time?

Ms. BirdyGirl85, one thing i forgot to mention that the husband is also a disabled person and into pain meds now..at that time of filing their old AOS, when the uscis sent it back to them they are into a financial crisis. so they set it aside, thinking it will be ok to do it some other time when they get the right amount of money. obviously they are not knowledgeable enough about this visa journey.(call it ignorance of the law if you like). when i asked them who did their paper works last time. they told me someone did it for them. Now they are close to their second year wedding anniv on December and the timing of meeting a person with a greencard made them realize that she is in a big trouble.

As a good christian, I told them about our visa journey. That we did our papers through the big help of this website.

without paying a lawyer or somebody.

That is why i posted this topic here. To help this couple get back on track.

as of this writing, i already talk to the couple and they are ready to start over again asap!
