I'm not sure that I would care to live in a house with a cremation urn, either.

Unless you split up (and either she or the federal government sues), the I-864 has no impact whatsoever on your life.

Hey - I won my big cultural battle - I still keep magazines next to the toilet - but, good luck with yours!

Try it. Others have. Like David says, it's typically used for employment, not family visas. Try it, and wait 14 days, then go to your SS office and fill out an application there.

We had planned on Jingyu going home on Aug 1, but we got this notice in the mail today for a hearing on July 26, so it doesn't look like he'll last that long. My question is what kind of clean-up do we need to do on his case? Is there anything he should do before he leaves? What do we need to do after he leaves? This needs to show on his record as a voluntary departure, and not an order of removal. The only thing I see is to file a EOIR-33 change of address with the court, and then his actual departure would show as the exit port.

Found this again in looking for posts on a related topic - to say, David, that K-2's must not be 21 at the time of adjudication is the same as saying that K-1's must not be married at the time of adjudication - that is, the immigration officer may adjust the status of the person who was admitted as (and is no longer) a K-1 fiance. Why would he not also adjust status for the person who was lawfully admitted as the child of the K-1 fiance?

Do it now ! Will she settle for a river?

Looks like it was a visit from another place

Ron, you need a transformer from 220v to 110v http://www.world-import.com/all-transformers.htm Make sure the HZ is transformed from 60 to 50. Not necessary for a rice cooker. Wattage is wattage at any frequency, and that is what generates the heat.

Your AOS application is family, not employment, based. The EAD is a separate application. Your choice as to the number of checks, payable to the Dept. Of Homeland Security, not DOS. and put an approximate date on your AP application.

One recent example

Hopefully, it'll have your name and hers on it, right??

Any airline tickets purchased to go to China should match the name on her passport. Her green card should match the desired ID she will be using. Take a copy of the marriage certificate when traveling to China in case there is any confusion at the US POE on the return trip. You may get an extension to her Chinese passport which would show her married name and eliminate most confusion.

yes

\ How would you like the green card to read?

Simple question: Where does she live? Her status is AOS pending

Click here, or do a search for "blue slip" if that doesn't work. (Click on "Search" at the top right of this screen. Report on what yours says. Some are requests for additional information the VO thinks will prove a valid relationship. Some are downright cruel hoops for the applicant to jump through.

I don't know, cheffie, but mine's longer than your's !

You might have her work with the company to see what they can do for her. The EAD has an expiration date in one year, but like I said, they can revoke it. If the company is okay with keeping her on the payroll until they can get her the H1B, there shouldn't be any problem. Delaying tactics like rescheduling the biometrics and/or the interview may help. Best for all, though, would be if they approve her K-2 AOS. You might check with your lawyer to see if he knows how they handle the 21 yr old age-outs.

I believe she would (not even that is definite anymore if she's already 21), but then our son's was revoked when he failed the AOS interview by turning 21. If she hires on at that company, though, wouldn't she get a work visa?

Yaa-hooo!!

By the way, it's possible that she could still get the K-2 green card. In the past, the various offices have ruled differently, but the appeal to the AAO of the case in Washington DC was actually made by the USCIS itself in an effort to force uniform rulings on all offices. It's not clear if that has been done yet.

Hi -- Think I really need some help here. I had a lawyer for the K-1 and K-2 visas, but this aging out thing was never mentioned to me. We filed the AOS docs for both 2 months ago, but my step-daughter just turned 21. She had been living in the US as a student and has a job offer from a big company that was prepared to give her some other type of visa for working here. I am terribly afraid that by messing up on this I have hurt her job and life prospects. Any ideas? Should we try to appeal the anticipated denial of the AOS or go back to trying to get the job visa? Any ideas here would be very much appreciated as I am rather frantic. Thanks, Robert Yes - this is the box that 21 yr. old K-2's find themselves in. But if she is already here on a student visa, and has a job offer with a company that is willing to sponsor her green card, that would appear to be the way to go. Our situation currently is that he has received a NTA - Notice to Appear - for a deportation hearing, no date or time given. My understanding is that this means he is in line waiting for a hearing date. He will be going back at the end of July, unless something happens between now and then. We elected to NOT appeal, since that would basically be making a $380 (the cost of the appeal) donation to the USCIS. That appeal has already been ruled on in another case by the AAO, and also tried in the courts. The USCIS ruling is that the K-2 child of K-1 fiance must remain a child until the AOS interview, but that the K-1 fiance must NOT remain a fiance (she must in fact be married). The court case did NOT hinge on this issue, but on the fact that the AOS paperwork was submitted before the child's 21st birthday. It is being appealed, but the case won't be scheduled for a year at least.
