  3. Permanent Green Card

    in AOS & Immigration Challenges

    Posted · Edited by Squid (see edit history)

    We had an approved 3 month fiancee visa. She then came back to the states where we were married. We then applied for the Conditional Resident Card to which should show a 2 year expiration (as does one of her friends.)

     

    Her Green Card says, Permanent Green Card with a yr 2016 expiration date.

     

    Am I going crazy, is there a conspiracy, or am I just plain stupid?

    Hmmmm, I need you're kind of luck. :lol:

     

    The I-751 states it must be filed within 90 days of expiration of the conditional status, now if in their infinite wisdom the USCIS issued a 10 year card you don't need to file an I-751.

     

    You could check with the USCIS, but they will tell you they don't make mistakes. :Dah:

     

    Double check the expiration date, but if it is really for 10 years then don't rock the boat.

     

     

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, her Green Card clearly has a 10 yr expiration.

    Howdy, Long time no speak. Been very busy. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else had a situation like I am in.

     

    My wife spent over 8 yrs here in school with an "L" visa then when it expired, went back to China until we got our Fiancee Visa Approval, then got married.

     

    When my wife got her Green Card, it was a Permanent Green Card, not a Conditional Green Card that expires in 2 yrs. The expiration date on the green card is actually for 10 years.

     

    We have been starting the I-751 process but was wondering if the good ole US of A screwed up and gave the wrong green card.

     

    Questions:

    1. Has this happened to you?

    2. Would you chance calling USCIS to have them admit a mistake therefore creating havoc?

    3. Would this affect the process for citizenship next year?

    4. Any words of advice?

     

    Thanks in advance. We are really lost

    Alex, I wish the best for you as I have been following your story. I would not only fire the blood sucking lawyer, I would get another lawyer to sue him for giving you false information aka he would call eventhough he had no phone numbers. At a minimum, the bar should be notified. Of course taking time to deal with him will take time away from dealing with more important issues such as your visa. Hopefully your case was not loosely handled at the TSC like others cases as found out by the local news:

    Do you know what you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.

    Wow, this thread will be an excellent way my fiancee could help the community of CFL. Since she spent 8+ years in the USA before going back to China for a year during the visa process, she would be a good resource for you. I will ask her about her being able to give her advice. It might be a few days though as she is flying back to the US the beginning of next week and will take some time to adjust back to the time differences.

  12. SSN: Fiancee already has one

    Great news on the SSN! Thanks! Also she already has a TX driver's license.

     

    As for the change of address, I was thinking using my neighbor's address might be the best way to go as they would be checking their mail daily. Also, it should not be a problem for me and/or my Fiancee' the fly back to Dallas for needed appointments, interviews, etc.

  13. SSN: Fiancee already has one

    My Fiancee passed her interview last week with flying colors (post about successful interview got deleted in database corruption.) My question is in reference to the fact that my Fiancee obtained an SSN (and driver's license) while previously in the USA getting a Bachelor's degree. Questions:

     

    1. Will we have to apply for a new SSN?

    2. If not, will we have to get her last name changed after the marriage for the SSN?

     

    Next questions...We will be moving for my job out of the DORA (Dallas Rapid Adjustment Pilot) jurisdiction to Va. We will be temporarily living aka. hotel/apartment until a house is found and ready to be moved in to. Obviously we want to take advantage of the 90 day AOS vs the 14 months - 2 yrs AOS through Chicago. It will probably take a couple of months to sell the house and officially move. Questions part II:

     

    3. Where would our primary residence be as according to Dallas?

    4. Could we use a post office box in Dallas in order to keep my primary residence until the AOS is completed?

    5. If no post office box, could we just put a neighbor's address on the paperwork knowing that my house will be sold in the next couple of months and still be eligible for DORA?

     

    As for moving, we have no choice. What we are trying to avoid at all costs is a transfer of paperwork from Dallas to Chicago because of a change of address but would like to remain DORA eligible.

     

    Thank you in advance!

    Thankyou for the clock, Frank! Although it has been floating around the net for a few years, it is always fun to watch for a while. Of course, since I have much to do before I leave in a few hours, the diversion of the clock is not a wanted task.

     

    Thank You all for the best wishes. I do love that clock though! Just a few minutes watching it can't hurt...
