The I-751 packet for my spouse and I has been assembled any ready to drop off at the post office. The spouse's 2-year GC expires on 10/29/07. The 90-day window began today, 7/31/07, where we missed getting in under the old fees by two days.

Hope VSC can speed up the processing of the I-751's.

Hi Guys,

I have a question on the Processing Estimates/Stats on our timelines. Based on my timeline, my I-129F can be adjucated as early as December 19, 2007. I know our timelines may vary depending on the situation (and how USCIS acts on it ) but does the said estimate include the NVC and the Interview phase already? Or is this just the estimated time when my I-129F will be approved?

Thanks in advanced for some enlightenment on this.

Based on the timeline, I estimate your interview to be around early to mid Feb. Maybe even earlier than that as the fee increase would make the process quicker. (so they say)

If you guys have the patience, I would go for the CR route (I-130). Because it is cheaper and you would get the green card when you arrive in the US instead of filing AOS ($1010).

Hi Everyone

I need your advice as i am planning to file K1 in december and hoping my finance will recieve k1 visa within 6-7months and then plan to do court marriage in usa and then in nov/dec08 do Tradition marriage in india.In addition to this,he is citizen of india and will be studying in UK on F1 visa in month of Sept and wil graduate by sept08, that's another reason why i want to file k1 on later date

Now my questions are:

1) How hard is to get Advanced parole ?

2) Can it be denied too ?

3) What reason to give while filing for parole ? any suggestions ?

4) HOw long does it take to get work permit ?

5) He has plans of coming to usa on exchange std program in march08,will that hinder k1 or exchange std visa ?

6) Can he give interview at UK instead of india ? or is there 1 yr residency rule in uk?

7) how long he needs to stay in usa before getting GreenCard ? Is it 2 yrs?

I appreciate your reply and time

Wishing everyone goodluck.

peace

Did this happen to anyone?

The UPS attempted to deliver my package to the PO BOX in Laguna Niguel in California but notice was left?

is someone actually going to pick up the notice and pick up my package? they never mentioned how we should send the I-129F? I hope someone's job is to pick it up...

Yeah the I-129F instructions does not mentioned the address if you're using courier service. I hope they do pick it up.

Welcome to VJ and good luck for a smooth journey.

Up until now, our K1 Visa application has been very slow going through the process. I've constantly monitored the other CSC applications filed around the same time as ours, and each step of the way, it seems like we were in the slowest 10 percentile. It felt like our application was made of lead or something, and it was very disheartening to see people who filed at the same time, several steps ahead of us in the process.

Anyhow, that all changed these past few days .... praise God! We appear to have made up for much lost time (and may have even set a new speed record) as NVC issued the letter on July 16th confirming receipt of our file from CSC, and her interview is scheduled in Sydney for July 31st .... which is only 15 days from NVC receiving the file from CSC, to her interview date in Australia!

I-864A is household member contract between petitioner and household member

My Question is I am using my Father as Household member (He has filed Joint tax return for last 3 years. Do You think we should submited my mothers I-864A also since we all live together in joint family)

My Case is already approved at NVC and left for Indian embassy. This is the only quesiton I have. I am worried abou it little bit. Please help

I think NVC will send me letter before approving my case if their was anything like this am i right or wrong dont know?

Thanks

Hello Everybody,

Is the DS 3032 and AOS fee bill should be generated together and mail to the petitioners?

My husband got the AOS fee bill and sent the bill payment to NVC at the end of June. But he still didn't receive the DS3032 form by mail so far. Also he couldn't find the case number.

How we should do now?

Look forward to hearing back!

Hope all your journeys are going well.

I noticed in your timeline that you sent a cancellation letter for K-1. Did you received confirmation that your K-1 petition had been cancelled? By the way, you need the I-130 NOA to file the K-3.

I am just a rookie on this site. I want someone to educate me on the best procedure to handle the submission of my k1 visa application. I need the littliest details that worked for somebody and in line with USCIS regulation.

Your husband needs to file another I-130 for your son.

Hi Guys,

I received the welcome letter (notice mailed welcoming the new permanent residence) and also another email of card production ordered. Does this mean the famous card is on the way? if so, i am currently in Australia and wont be returning to the USA until 11th of sept. does anyone know how long it takes for the card to arrive? is there 2 parts to it cos one says within 60 days and other says within 30days! I also have a travel parole and was concerned if i dont have my greencard in my hands when i arrive back will i get hassled?

please help

cheers

Just wondering if there are any Jan 07 filers around, mine has a receipt date of January 25th. Nearly there *bites fingernails*

it is ok to send stuff in each other's name if it shows the same address....

I included some evidence with just my hubby's name and some with my name on it but they both showed the same address...

***************************

The documents should cover, but not limited to,the following examples:

1. Birth certificate(s) of child(ren) born to the marriage.

2. Lease or mortgage contracts showing joint occupancy and/or ownership of your communal residence.

3. Financial records showing joint ownership of assets and joint responsibility for liabilities, such as joint savings and checking accounts, joint federal and state tax returns,insurance policies that show the other spouse as the beneficiary, joint utility bills, joint installments or other loans.

4. Other documents you consider relevant to establish that your marriage was not entered into in order to evade the U.S. immigration laws.

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit.) The original affidavit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit:his or her full name and address; date and place of birth;relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above.

Submitted my I 751 last week. I noticed that there was and entry made on it which is a mistake. How do I correct it. Would a simple letter explaining it along with Noa1 or Noa2 suffice? or do I have to refile with new fees again? How do i make corrections on an already submitted I 751 form?

Thx

My wife had her interview on May 17, 2007. She needed to submit additional paperwork and had it all turned in on May 22, 2007. Delbros website is NOT working and I have contacted the the embassy twice in 2 weeks and they just tell me to wait 6 weeks and if she doesn't get her visa by then to call back again. HMMMM???? I see others receiving their visas who has interview before her and on same day!!!! It's just frustrating. I miss them so much and I am dying without them, my wife an our daughter. GRRRR!!!!!!!

Hi everyone. We just got Sheryl's biometrics appointment letter. It's scheduled for 8/11/07, which is a Saturday. Has anyone ever had biometrics on a Saturday? I really can't believe they would be open and I'm wondering if this is a mistake.

Yes they are, we put them inside the box, and we've been getting mail where we live regularly, but we've never tried to get certified mail. I have no idea how they send the green card out.

GC comes in a small plain envelope and not certified.

I almost threw ours away as I thought it was junk mail.

Some peeps have and ended up chasing the garbage truck down the street. !!

You mean that there is no return address or where it's from? We had that on ours.

Hi....I just found your group here... I guess we qualify for June filers not listed here....My fiancee and I sent our I-129 to Nebraska on 5-29....California received on 6-12. I have not received hard copy of NOA1. But, maybe that is okay....No news is good news?????

http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/Up...stems062607.pdf

I was told that I did not need to persue the K3 visa due to the fact that My other papers were already approved. So I sent all our papers to the NVC office where now we wait for an Interview date with the lagos embassy in Nigeria. I am very new to the Fourm and dont know how to do the time line. So any Help that I could get would be most helpful. My papers were completed on March 12 2007. They are in the NVC office waiting to be given an interview date.....

I have my package all ready to go... addressed in the envelope and everything. I looked at the Service Center link this afternoon... I live in Kentucky, therefore I mail to Texas. I clicked on the same link to double check the address and it's now saying effective July 30, I need to mail to Vermont. *sighs* Where should I mail my petition? I realize I will be mailing it out before the 30th, but it won't be processed by then. Help?

Thanks!

I for one, really appreciate the direct link to last year's news because it seems like I've been explaining this new procedure several times a week lately. I read the release last fall and bookmarked it but my hard drive crashed in January and I haven't been able to find the link to the release.

In the continuing saga of the apparently missing biometrics (to complete AOS) ... #######???

To: Me

A check of our records show that there is no Mr. S’s biometrics data in California Service Center system. Mr. S must go to the ASC when he receives the appointment notice to have his biometrics captured. Otherwise, his I-551 cannot be produced. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Officer C. Chen

Please see below for my reply: I don't know what else to do from here....

After receiving your last email, Mr. Chen, we made an infopass appointment w/ the ASC to follow up on his biometrics. We showed our receipt and the officers there informed us that Mr. S's biometrics had indeed been completed and sent to your office. If you do not have the information on record, how can we provide it to you again? The ASC here has verified that it has been completed and sent.

Thank you for any information you could provide us with.

Sincerely,

Me
