did you apply to VSC or CSC?

I am sorry if this is a dumb question but can one apply to CSC or VSC by his choice or does it depend on the state you are living in? I live in NY, Can i only apply to VSC?

Are you sure? I am a little surprised by that since people usually say include as much evidence as possible. Just my bank statements would be more than 50 pages and i have a ton of other things as well.

Hi - I am in the process of putting together my waiver package so have couple of questions.

- How much is too much? I think i am going over 800 pages. I have all my monthly bank statements, cable bills (instead of one monthly only), a lot of emails etc. My thinking was to show as much evidence as i could. Are other people doing the same thing?

- How do you go about sending the package and putting it together? I was thinking putting it all in a three hole punch folder. Would that make sense?

- Does any use post-its on things like statements and emails to highlight things that are of interest?

Thanks for your responses in advance

did you apply at VSC or CSC?

Thanks a lot for your response. I am going to try and keep it around that.

Would really appreciate someone's (who has already filed) advise

I will be filling the waiver for joint i751 in the next 2-3 months and am in the process of collecting documents for it.

I have some mails that were sent to both of us but i only have 2 or 3 of them that are dated in the last 3,4 months. We were married for about 15 months and i dont have any mails from earlier. Would that matter?

Also, in terms of sending documentation, how much is too much? I have tons of emails and chats with her. Should i be sending all of those?

I agree with the reasoning. Is there anyone else on the forum here who filed in NY? What was their experience?

Hello,

I am in the NY state and my USC wife and i are getting an uncontested amicable divorce. I was speaking to my divorce attorney and she mentioned that it might help if my wife filed for divorced instead of me since then it would not seem like i wanted he divorce and she did. Does that make sense? Does it matter who files the divorce?

Hello folks,

I am in the process of getting a divorce as well and would be filing a waiver too. Looking at these timelines, seems to me that a lot of these cases are now getting done on a shorter timeline than before. Do you agree?

Thanks

Hello,

i havent seen a lot pf posts here who describe their success or failure in getting the waiver approved. Although i get the sense that as long as the paperwork is in order, one should be ok. What is the general sense around the success rate in these cases?

thanks a lot for your answers

Can someone confirm.

Also can someone try to advise on the H1 issue?

The waiting times for Removal of Conditions are between 2 and 8 months right now. Check the time lines. For waiver filers, it might take a bit longer; but the extension letter gives you one year.

No one in this forum can guarantee you an approval/denial. No one. If they do so, they are lying.

Your documentation seems in order and your evidence looks quite nice as well. Best of luck

Thanks for the answer.

Just so i understand this correctly - Once i file the waiver, I will get an extension for an year but during the same year, they will look at my case and will probably decide on it in about 2-8 months so if i file the waiver in Jan 2010 and my case is approved, i should get my GC before the end of 2010?

1) Yes. You should.

2) Yes. You'll get the NOA1 with implied extension quickly.

3) They won't deny you. But if they were, there's no way back to from LPR to reactivating your old H1B

Thanks a lot for your answer, that is very helpful.

Once i get the NOA1, Can the interview or NOA2 arrive quickly after that? I just dont want to wait a long time to find out about my permanent status.

As much as i appreciate it, Why would you be certain that they wont deny me? is it because of the documentation i have presented?

please delete this post - put it in a diffrent section

have a question about the timeline for the waiver I-751 waiver and the documentation required for it.

A little bit about my case. I was on f-1 then move to h1 after college. Dated USC girl for 5 years, then got married in sep 2008 and seperated in nov 2009 due to a lot of issues and looking to file for divorce now. Got the conditional GC in march 2009.

1. If I get divorced by march 2010, can I file a waiver right away?

2. If I file a waiver right away (march 2010 instead of waiting until december 2010), does USCIS give me an extension or will they actually hear my case before the end of two year period and issue or deny me a permanent GC right away? To clarify more, what I am asking is if I file a waiver, what are the different options that USCIS can come back with and how much time do they take?

3. If the Waiver gets rejected, then can I go back on my h1b visa, is there a high chance to that getting rejected?

Here is the list of documents I have gathered, please let me know if this is good. I really appreciate your responses.
