    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    I would call them early in the morning! I would also make an appointment using infopass now. Need to work both at the same time. You need the NOA1 to get back in to the U.S. with an expired Green Card. Almost everyone gets the NOA1 within 4 days.

    I think this is important enough even if spending a whole day on the phone. Or you wil be spending a day at the airport if they let your wife enter or IF the airline will allow your wife on the plane. Airlines do not want to fly you back for free if you are not allowed to enter the U.S.

    Thanks! We got it done this morning via walk-in at the El Monte office. We told the guard what happened and he let us in. Took about 1 hour and 40 minutes.

    They seem to have a process in dealing with mis- appointments. A girl behind us missed her appointment 1 week ago.

    Sorry to hear that Mike. Call them tomorrow and tell them the truth that you just found it between your mail. I am sure that they will reschedule it. It happens don't worry too much about it. But do tell the truth they will be understanding.

    Bringing 2 new iPads to Vietnam as gifts, plus an old personal one, would there be any problems?

    $5 cash in passport is a must! Definitely for your caucasian husband.

    Take everything out of box like you are the user and not like gifts OR they will tax the ####### out of you. You will learn in the future when you have to eat the cost on bring things for others.

    I got stopped for 10 minutes with 3 agents on me talking to each other. My friend came up and put $5 in my passport and the BS ended immediately.

    Pride will just waste your time. I was surprised on how bold they were.

    What to do with government retirement savings in China?

    1) I have never heard people cashing out their retirement money from China. China is similar to the rest of the world where spending is more than revenue.

    2) Tell her to find out from current and former co-workers and not announce to everyone at work. There are many darker policies depending on the company type. Government work is usually the worse and different from company to company.

    3) She can retire then leave and the company doesn't have to know she left the country.

    My wife lost all the money in her retirement account when she came here in 2011. To keep that money takes months of preparing, planning, keeping things secret.

    Most poeple I know don't tell work they are leaving the country unless they have to. My wife's work had to sign off and release her passport.

    What's the deal with unemployment benefit with 10 year GC?

    There's no withdrawing the sponsorship if you already have the GC. Sponsor and co-sponsor are hooked until you abandon your permanent residentship or become a citizen - meaning the Govt can sue them to collect its money back if you apply for welfare benefits.

    As for the specifics about unemployment, what Harpa said.

    I found out there are non-profits in San Francisco that teaches and helps new immigrants get on welfare programs. Tons of these people are on state welfare programs and the sponsors don't even know. I could not find one case of where the sponsors are requested to pay back to the government. It's a BS document because no political hack will dear to enforce it.
