Wait and have patience.  Is this a permanent GC or a conditional.  In case of a conditional, you might get the 10 year GC before you get the replacement.  I hope you have luck.

Calm down.  That means you are almost done.  Just show up, do not kill the interviewer and you will be approved. Believe me everything is going to be okay.  I can understand why you worry, and for sure is secondary to your Anxiety diagnosis.  By the way, I am retired but I am a Board Certified Adult and Child Psychiatrist.  I have rarely seen a person being diagnosed of GAD and Panic Attacks both at the same time but I guess it is possible.  Panic Attacks can be very disabling. Lemon23 has a point, so RELAX again please.  I am sure you had some cognitive therapy for your symptoms.  Go over these techniques and do take some prescribed meds prior to the interview.  Consult with your therapist/psychiatrist prior to the interview.  Remember again it is your  anxiety diagnosis and nothing else.  You will do fine.

Can't help you. Hope for the best.   

Signed with your present legal name and submit a copy of the most recent GC, front and back.  That is your name.  Enter also your alien number and date of birth.

The SSA card, you can change anytime and is not a problem insofar as traveling I believe.  Now if you are seeking employment, then maybe you need it.  Maybe somebody else can help you better.

Fine Neilsqueen, I feel you continue to insult me and I am starting to get tired of it.  I tried to throw an olive branch and you did not even meet me halfway.  From now on, please restrain addressing yourself to me.  Just forget about me and I will do the same. I think we can both try to help in our own ways the forum participants.  I got a great deal of help when I depended on it many years ago.  Good bye and good riddance.

The way I understand this you pay $595 plus $85 for yourself and $85 times the number of dependents.  They are included with your application if they are minors (less than 21) and entered within 3 months of your entry to the US and were properly identified in the application of minors you completed.  Minors pay only the extra Biometrics fee, not he full cost of i-751.  I hope now it is clear.

I agree it is a waste of money.  But if you have the extra money, go ahead.  Play the lottery also.

OMG...really?!  Why would you say such a rude thing to her?  Don't you think she feels bad enough?  Have you ever made a mistake?  I truly feel sorry for your wife.  I bet she can or will never live up to your perfect standards.

 

OP ignore ignorance.  Don't beat yourself up over this.  EVERYONE makes mistakes.  Follow @Sukie's advice and you will be good to go.  Best wishes!

Neilsqueen, I believe you are being overdramatic in your comment. Do not feel sorry for my wife as she is doing very well. I was just trying to make a point.  Maybe it was a little harsh but in no way meant to insult the fellow member.  I apologize to that person if she felt offended.  

Ye you can.

In the back of the photo write full name, alien number and date of birth.  Use pencil, or maybe felt pen but not ballpen that could make a mark on the photo. You send all the pertinent documents with the i-400 application and keep a copy for the interview.  

Go to USCIS site and look up fees.  

Delivery confirmation, return receipt and certified mail are three different things. I would mail by USPS, certified mail with return receipt.

No need for both to sign check.  Just make sure you enter in the memo portion alien number and i-751 application. Check made out to US Department of Homeland Security.

I agree with the other commentators above.  The only thing I would add is that if there was no spousal abuse, as long as you can prove that your marriage was a bona fide relationship and in no way you meant to deceive the authorities, then you can proceed for ROC without problems, making sure you provide evidence of bona fide conduct.

So it is $595 plus $85 Biometrics.  One single check written to US Department of Homeland Security. Also, the added Biometrics for each minor dependent as Ben&Ian state.

I guess I would noting that she is a USA citizen and include her birth certificate.  

By the way, what I stated above applies to K-2 recipients that for some reason, entered this country over 90 days after the K-1 recipient.  If they were included in the original K-1 application as minors, and did enter the USA prior to the 90 days and swhre under 21 years of age,  then they do not need to apply for removal of conditions because that will be automatically granted with the K-1 removal of conditions.  In my case, my step daughter arrived 4 and half months after her mother, so she had to apply for ROC on her own name and also pay the fee.

Hi All,

    Me and my spouse weren't living together while in the process of I130. He was in US and I was back in my home country. Do we need to submit correspondence between us during that period as evidence for I751? And what about  I130 approval notice etc from USCIS, do we need to submit that as well?

Thank you!

Best

Why not.  Another letter is not going to hurt.

I think you are good to go. Remember to  use a cover letter and Acco fasteners to assemble the packet and mail it USPS, certified mail with return receipt .  I would also send G-1145. No staples.  Maybe a clip not to lose your personal check directed to US Dept. of Homeland Security with the correct fee to the right place  and with the memo including alien number and i-751 application note.

On the form. It asks for names ages ... Of any children. Does this question apply to her or my husband. The us citizen concerned.mention on page 3 part4. Its confusing as part 5 follows the part concerning him. Instructional is not helpful here.

 

First of all you did not mention who is the petitioner, the person requesting ROC.  All the questions in the first pages pertain to the applicant requesting ROC.  If the applicant has chilldren or dependents, then pages 5 apply. Now if we are talking about your daughter, a possible K-2 recipient, then she is the petitioner and if she does not have children she fills N/A or none whichever applies (and is very well explained in the instructions on how to complete form i-751 by USCIS).

I mistated that the work permit is acquired through the i-131 and that is incorrect.  It is the i-765,  Application for Employment.  Usually you apply for both when you request Adjustment of Status.  You can also obtain a temporary and conditional Social Security Card that has to be updated with your residency and naturalization standards.  In other words the initial SSA card is conditional and it is finally the same as a US citizen, when you become a US Citizen.

With immigration officers spreading BS like that, is it any wonder that people get confused about this whole process?

 

 

Many issues with what you have been told, but this specifically is such rubbish (aside from travel) it deserves a special mention.

Your status, lawful presence, or right to work is not affected when the letter expires. 

The stamp serves as proof of your status - it doesn't dictate it. 

Yes I believe that if you hold a valid i-131, that is your work permit.  

My point precisely Kpea.  Try to avoid travel while your are in the process of submitting all the pertinent info. You will have plenty of time afterwards.
