Yes, but the thread is about K-3/CR-1

Others have had to sign the "sworn statement" (that you still live together, and she hasn't been arrested), including one who got theirs by mail. Watch for that. Congrats and good work! We all appreciate it.

My recommendation is for everybody to do their own translating through Google or Babelfish or wherever. That is, he write to her in English, and she write to him in Chinese. Then each can put it through the translator, adding periods or commas or separating phrases where it may help, until they can figure out the meaning. Otherwise, you're just talking to the translator ABOUT the other person. BIG difference.

Unfortunately, the odds are poor enough that some people give up after a few tries. We've heard stories that the odds may be improving. After the interview, of course, it's either one or zero.

Yes - they do take pictures for the cards (EAD and green card)

I guess the best way to minimize the time is to have all the documents for the P3 filled out and send them in as soon as you know the P3 is shipped to you. This method can shorten the total time some. There is no guarantee that sending in the P3 forms early will improve your place in line. Of course, it's can't hurt, either, unless you send them in TOO early (say before you're CERTAIN that they've mailed it out). A few years back, our person who monitored these things found statistically that the date they mailed the P3 was significant, while the date they received the filled-out forms was not

Sounds like the answer to this question won't make any difference since neither really works

I think the written explanation would have to suffice, instead of checking either of the two boxes, since neither applies to your circumstances. I am not filing separately. I am filing with my mother and step father. Do you know what is the fees for both of us to apply at the same time? Thank you. I believe you're simply listed in Part V of your mother's petition, with only an additional $80 biometrics fee. Check Dan's link.

Removing Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage Okay, I found this I think the written explanation would have to suffice, instead of checking either of the two boxes, since neither applies to your circumstances.

People seem to feel it's a bargain at $5 - $7 (19 million shares changed hands today).

Overall, the odds are fairly poor (somewhere around 20%, I've heard), but her own circumstances may improve that

Of course, we could all just join the PRO-GUN LOBBY in the TC with their campaign to influence (spam) a Cook County election

How Do I Bring My Child, Son or Daughter to Live in the United States? "Definition of a Child The immigration law defines a ¡°child¡± as an unmarried person under the age of 21 (a minor) who is . . . . * A stepchild if the marriage creating the step relationship took place before the child reached the age of 18"

Yes he can. Since you married before your son reached the age of 18, your husband may file an I-130 for the child of an American citizen. The CR-2 takes approximately a year. He will need a birth certificate, the passport, and either a divorce decree awarding you full custody, or permission from the birth father to bring him to the US

It's a mail delivery issue. GUZ will send it to: 1234 Main St. Anytown, China if that's what they're given as the address.

1) Have your wife file the I-130 for her son NOW. Waiting time for (over 21) son of an LPR is approximately 10 years. 2) Have her become a US citizen. Waiting time for the (over 21) son of a US citizen is closer to 5 years. AND the clock is running as of the day the original I-130 is filed.

If they don't comply with the IMBRA law, then almost by definition they're not an IMB. I don't think we've heard of a case where the answer to the IMB question (whether yes or no) had an effect on the interview.

I don't have my I-134 right in front of me but I believe we checked "Do not intend" as I believe this is refers to other visa applicants besides K-1/K-3. I could be wrong though. My wife's looking for our form at home now. I'll update when she finds it. Edit: Ok, I was right and wrong. We didn't check either box. We put "N/A K-1 visa process for permanent resident." I assume this pertains to K-3 as well. If not, someone (Dan or David) will correct me. Thanks yeah,after reading over that line a dozen times,it seemed to me it doesn't pertain to the k visa's,almost seems to me to pertain to those who would be coming over on some type of visitor visa,or something of that nature. thanks again for your help jimi K-visas are non-immigrant prior to filing for AOS, so it does apply. Yes, you do intend to provide full support for the person. That being said, however, I'm not sure that your answer here is significant, so iDave's answer is probably just as good, but "No" might be a little risky.

Try things like 'Tu-de-lu', or "Tu-te-liu" or other combinations also

Okay, Roger! It's on my calendar. We'll be there!

There is a new section on the GUZ web site about Study in the US, including just about any information you might be looking for. Financial Aids There is also a series of guest speakers for the month of March in 4 sessions to help a student with general knowledge, preparing applications, student visas, and American campus life.

Yes - the K-3 is multiple entry up to 2 years. But she elected to continue the IR1 process in Guangzhou over adjusting locally. Would the blue slip she has got prevent her from adjusting status in US? No

Yes - the K-3 is multiple entry up to 2 years.

Randy, Thanks for your response and please understand that my reply is not directed at you personally. i have been pissed off for about 1/2 dat since seeing your repsonse. In the 2/4/08 memo, USCIS comitted to an oldest first policy. Sorry - I should have mentioned that our name check may have been completed before Dec. The IO said it had been sitting on her desk for 2 months while she was out of town. I understand - I wouldn't mind waiting for yours to go first, but I think we all take what we can get. Hopefully, they'll get yours soon.

Yes - or you can apply for EAD and get the SS within 90 days (free with the $1010 fee)
