My mother inlaw is in the US on a vister visa, She has been here since Nov. We would like for her to be able to travel back and forth at will. What will we need for her to be able to do this ? Dave and Jing

Hi everyone ..... long time no see. Question for someone who's done it! I want to apply for a green card for my mother inlaw ..... have the I-130 done, what other forms will i need? Anyone? Dave and Jing

I agree Carl .... she said they engaged in some small talk before he started asking questions ,,, and then went thru the application line by line. So i think thats ow they decide if you know english and what it is she's applying for

Not yet ... but she did ask about getting her paaport ... she wants to apply for it after she's sworn in

Jing took her citizenship test today and passed .... Now we wait until she's sworn in, she has to do this in court because of her wanting to use her maiden name as her middle name ... but other than that everything went great. She was asked 5 or 6 of the 100 questions, asked to read a small sentence and then write a small sentence, she was asked a few questions made up by the interviewer ( Do you pay taxes, Do you drink and drive ) wife told him she doesn't drink ... but she drives The only thing they asked to see of her was her passport, Green card and drivers licence ... we had everything on the list of things needed ... but he never asked for them. She is extremely happy about becoming an american citizen.

My wife recently applied for her citizenship ... took about 3 wks for them to repond and set up her biometrics appt .... we changed her name on the application and it went through with no problem .... not legal until she swears in ... but it seems pretty easy. the Immigration person she met with at her biometrics gave her all the info she will need including flash cards, a video that shows what to expect during the interveiw and a list of eb=verything she will need to change ... that applies to her. Dave and Jing

My wife added my family name after we were married and kept her family name as her middle name, added her new name to both her GC and passport. but it was all her choice ... i told her it was her decision and i would understand either way. Dave

My wife will soon be applying for citizenship, i have been reading and checking and i have a question that doesn't seem to be addressed ... so maybe someone here can help me. My son will also be applying for citizenship and as i read it he will have to wait until he has been here 5 yrs due to his age ( 19 ) but he also would like to change his name. According to what i read he will have to do this through the courts to make it a legal name change. My question is this ..... he already has his 10 yr green card, will he have to apply for a new green card before he applys for citizenship ? and if so will he have to reapply for his green card first? or if theres a legal name change form that we can fill out?

She can find all the questions, answers and a link to a practice test at www.uscis.gov/citizenshiptest She will have to be able to read, write and speak basic english and the civics part of it is as follows "Civics Test There are 100 civics questions on the naturalization test. During your naturalization interview, you will be asked up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions. You must answer correctly at least six (6) of the 10 questions to pass the civics test. You have two opportunities to take the English and civics tests per application. If you fail any portion of the test during your first interview, you will be retested on the portion of the test that you failed within 90 days." Hope that helps Dave

I think the student visa would be our best bet .... thanks eveyone Dave & Jing

So we have to adopt her ?

An open question for all to answer if possible. My wife in my neices legal gaurdian, my wife and i have been married for 3 yrs now and has her 10 yr GC , my stepson has just filed for his 10 yr GC and is a sophmore ay USF, my niece has stayd behind in China and has been living with my Mom inlaw...... but now we would like her to come live with us ... she is ready. what do we have to do to make this happen? Thanks in advance Dave and Jing

Can and will do .... Thanks for the advice Dave and Jing

I guess thats where i'm confused ... do we fill the I-751 out the same as we did for my wife? including marriage info, tax statements, letters and so on? I do know he can file it himself ... but not sure about all the other info Dave

Hi everyone, My question is this .... i KNOW someone can answer this for me. My wife and i have now been married almost 4 yrs ( March wedding ) My stepson moved here about 6 mos. after we were married. My wife now has her 10 yr GC and it's almost time to file for the sons, Question is ... My son is now an adult and a student at USF... do we still file for his 10 yr GC the same way ... or does he have to do this on his own now that he is an adult? Do we file the I-751 ? Thanks in advance Dave and Jing
