Hello,
I
found your website very helpful information and would like to ask a few
more questions if you can help me out.
My wife and I had recently married and in the process of filing all her
legal papers with USCIS. She came to the US from China through a J-1
visa for a 2 years term. Since she already had the following forms:
Form I-765C – Authorization for work, DHS Social Security
Card and From I-693 – Medical Examination Result.. Does she
still need to reapply for the above requirements?
I
would great appreciate if you can share me some information in this
regard.
Thank
you,

Customer
Service,
Thank
you for the service you provide. Your web site has always been a help
to me. I have a question about my green card application for my
girlfriend.
My
girlfriend of
2 years visa expired and cannot be extended, she is now an illegal. She
has a good job, which she could lose soon, we always talked about
getting married and now I am wanting to marry her.
If I marry her
will there be any problems because of her expired visa? Also I am self
employed, I read where I would have to make sure I can support her
125%? I just do not want to marry her only to have her deported back to
Germany. Is there a 2 year rule also? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear Help desk.
I am a Swedish citizen, and I am married to an American citizen.
We married and I went on my interview with my wife. Got my conditional green card with your Complete Do-It-Yourself
Package for Marriage Green Card Application.
I did file petition to remove conditions of permanent resident status,
and it was received. Since that I have numerous stamps in my passport
for an extension. I even called my local congress woman, and they
called and got the same result. That it is pending. The case is now
over one years old. This is not the initial green card or the citizen
that I am applying for. Why is it taking so much time?
What can I do? Please get back to me.

Hi, Help desk.
I really appreciate your
website and your work. Thanks for the information. It was really helpful.
My boyfriend has
had a visiting visa for more than seven years. We have been together
for almost six years and are now thinking of getting married. I attend
school in Oklahoma City but he mostly travels to Los Angeles, because
his brother is there and I live with my parents. But we see each other
often.
Would it be
better to get married here and he enters the US with his visa and then
apply for his green card. Or should I as a US Citizen marry him abroad
and claim him and wait until I get his green card. Or should I apply
for a fiancée visa to bring him here and get married within the
90 days. And what are the steps.
Thank you for your time and valuable advise.

Greetings,
I recently visited your
very helpful web site and was very impressed by the comments left by
the individuals.
I have received
a notice of approval for 1-130. My mother, US citizen, the petitioner deceased 4 years
ago (To my knowledge the petition dies too since she died before the
approval) .I have strong alternative sponsors, 2 US Sisters and one US
brother. I am an assistant professor at Defense Language Institute
married with 3 children one is six years old US citizen.
My family and I
( exclude my US son) have granted withholding of deportation 3 years
ago based on different case "Asylum" (which filed after one year).
Based on the previous information, what is the best way to adjust my
status to be permanent resident. I know I can not reinstate my I-130
because my petitioner died before the approval of I-130.Remember my
current status is "Granted withholding of removal" Which I can only
work and stay legally.
Can My work as a
federal employee file for me the petition for a green card as I do not
need for a work authorization since holding a granted withholding of
deportation I am eligible to work anywhere .In other words, do I need
to file for labor certificate or my work can file directly 1-140?
Thank You again for your time and help and
advice.

Hello,
I have found your great
site occasionally when searching the web for the Green Card application
information.
I am a French
citizen. I have been in the U.S. for over 6 years. I went to a
Louisiana University where I graduated with a Sports
Management degree. I also got married to an American citizen and we have a baby now.
Right now, I am
employed as a tennis coach at a University, but my OPT will expire
soon. I was looking at the applications for the green card on your
website and I really cannot afford to pay lawyers so much money right
now since I started my job only a few months ago.
I really do not
want to have to leave my family here and lose my job in July when my
OPT expires. Could you please tell me what are my options for me to
stay in your country and be a legal worker.
I really need your help.

Dear Sir/Madam:
First, thank you so much
for your prompt reply to my previous question. I am planning on purchasing
your DIY package for parents.
I have recently lost my
father in law. We are in the process of making the decision for my
mother in law to come and stay with us in US because there’s no one else
to take care of her at this hard time.
It is beneficial for both
us and her to be close by us to cope with the situation. Is there such
laws to get her to us with an immigrant visa at the earliest? Are there
any provisions because of our conditions?
Thank you for your time.

Hi there,
Greetings. I
came across your web site. Perhaps you can answer a simple question or
refer me to an information source (like a forum or user’s group)?
I am an American-born US citizen who wishes to marry my girlfriend (who
is Vietnamese) & bring her to the US.
Currently, I am
unemployed & receiving EDD benefits. I have been advised that if I
wish to successfully bring my fiancé to the US (get approval
during our immigration interview), I need to provide employment tax
records for 3 years (to show income stability). It has ALSO been
suggested that because I am not currently employed, this may create
difficulty when arranging for my finance immigration to the US.
Should I be
concerned about my current status as “unemployed”? Is it
REALLY a condition that I will need to be employed with a job before my
fiancé & I apply for marriage in the US? I have a
significant savings in my bank account (proving I am stable). I also
have a solid record of employment throughout the past 25 years. Is this
not enough (or will I also need to show evidence of income for during
my process time of marriage?
Many thanks in advance.

Dear Sir;
Thank you for excellent
your 1-30 package for marriage Green Card. I found very useful samples and
tips in it.
I have another
question: I an confused with the procedure of filing the I-360 (I'm the
battered spouse of U.S. citizen); can I file I-765 (EAD) concurrently
with the I-360 or I need to wait for I-360 to be approved first?
According to
the USCIS processing times it takes about 11 months for I-360 to be
processed - does that mean I need to wait that long to receive decision
and then apply for EAD?
Thank you very much in advance.

Dr. Sir,
Thank you very

citizen currently living in the USA on a F-1 student visa. I got
married to a US citizen on July this year, and want to start the green
card process.
I have family
living in U.S., my Dad’ sister and her husband, and want to know
if they can act as co-sponsors, since my wife and I do not fulfill the
“125% above poverty line” requirement for sponsorship. Some
people have told me that my aunt & uncle do not qualify since they
are not “direct” family, others have told me that they DO
qualify since they are blood relatives.
Do I need any extra forms for this, or any other helpful hints you can provide?

Hi,
I am very glad to let you
know that my I-130
application has been submitted to USCIS. Thanks a lot for your
tips, suggestions and encouragement.
Since the pending I-130 application category 2B
is through my mother (a green card holder). I know that my mother will become a US citizen in 2 years and
I will be eligible for an upgrade for my application.
However, I will
most likely get married before I get my green card. My question: is
suppose I got married before I was due for an upgrade into category 3,
will I lose my current case and have to reapply again with a brand new
case when my mother get her citizenship? When is the soonest I can get
married without losing my current case?
Thank you very much, have a great day

Dear

wondering if you would be able to help me out with this question. I am
currently in the US on TN visa and my H1B petition has recently arrived
so I will go back to Canada to re-enter under that status soon.
I
know that my wife cannot earn US income from US source while under my
current status. (or H1B) I plan to pursue green card
immediately, through my employer. She did publish a book before leaving
Canada which she does receive royalty checks for. These are
still going into the Canada business.
She
has recently met a potential business partner here in the US and they
have developed an adult program / course which shows
potential, in fact they have had many requests for the course thus far.
Knowing that her participation in this under my current status would
not be allowed, we have been reluctant to pursue any
further. Are there any options open to her to go into this
business partnership? (the partner is a US citizen)

Desk Sir,
My
I-130 application was approved with the help of your Complete
Do-It-Yourself Package for U.S. citizen's spouse. Thank you very much
for this. Now, the next step is to file form I-485 to get her Green
Card.
What
is
confusing me after reading about the I-485 application is that my wife
has already gone through most of what is said in the instructions, she
has had a full doctors exam, she has gone thru the FBI check or
security check, biographical forms and affidavit of support where filed
long ago.
I
married my
wife in china 18 months ago, I filed the I-130 and K-3 visa at that
time, her I-797 and I-797c where approved and her visa is good for 2
years and she is here with me in Florida.
We
are trying to
figure out what to do next, Her I-130 was approved 12 months ago but
there are instructions on the actual document that says if my wife is
in the U.S, she needs to file the I-485 which is a very expensive form
to file.
Please
help. Thank you so much for your timely reply! This helps a lot in how
to proceed, have a great rest of the week.

My

approved by using your DIY package. I would like to get your help for
my situation.
When
my siblings
and I were minors, my mother applied for asylum. We were not approved
because my mother could not properly answer questions because she was
suffering from a malignant brain tumor, which later took her away. Our
older brother took our case to the appeal court but we still were not
approved. Now, I am 18 and would like to obtain a
Green Card, can I apply for it myself?
Will the fact
that I was in an asylum case as a minor, prevent me from obtaining a
Green Card? Where can I obtain the application and how much does it
cost? Also, what is the minimum age required in order to apply for
asylum? Do my siblings and I absolutely need sponsors?

First of all, I want to thank you for your very useful website! My wife
has received her family visa but has yet to travel to the US. The
address that we have used for the visa application process has recently
changed. I called USCIS information number but they gave me vague
information and said my wife would have to inform the immigration
officer of the address change when she arrived and would probably have
to fill out some forms.
She
is not yet in the US and does not have a Green Card yet so she can't us
the AR-11 form and the USCIS agent confirmed this. What should we do
and what should she expect when she goes to the US?
