Topic: Help Needed - I think i got my GC approved, But my dates are not even current
Hello all,
I need your help. I finished college in Dec '06, I applied for GC last april - April 25th, 2007. My labor was approved in may and my lawyer went ahead and applied for my 140 and 485 when the dates opened up in june/july. My applied date was july 27th as i got delayed sending him all the paper work related to BC and medical.
I did not know about this site or USCIS until today evening, when i came home today evening and checked my mailbox. I have this letter saying welcome to united states. I showed it to my friend and he says it is the greencard approval notice.
First of all my dates or not current, so i dont know how i got this. So what should i do, should i take it to my local INS office and tell them the truth or if i take the card if i get one and keep it... will they revoke it in future ? i checked my online status and it says card production ordered. I belive that is the final step.
But this is my situation, my parents have been forcing marraige on me ever since they found out about my american girl friend and my parents black mailed me litreally and have fixed a wedding that i am not intrested in. And they have it set up for august 17th against my wishes. Now even if i follow what they say and want to get married i cannot bring that girl here... so they will think i am telling a cock and bull story to them to avoid the wedding. My girlfriend here meanwhile who has spoken to my parents for the last several weeks has been away from me.. because she feels i should follow my parents wish.
I feel like i am caught up in between a huge mess... i thought about the whole deal so far and spoke to my roommates till now and they asked me post it here... pls tell me what to do. i can give up the american dream and go to being in hell with a unknown girl or i can keep the card which i dont deserve and somehow marry my girlfriend here.. but i cannot imagine what my parents will do as i am there only son. I am caught up in a huge crap load of mess.
I had one problem to deal with till yesterday... now i have this. If you are going to ask about the girl whom i am getting married to, she is my uncle's daughter and she keeps saying i dont care who was in your life... i love you since childhood and if you dont marry i will die... has anyone suffered this much crap in there life.
|
If your visa # was preassigned, the GC adjudication is correct, does not matter that the dates are not current.
|
tell this crap somewhere else... some cooked up story

tell this crap somewhere else... some cooked up story
mr gc, i have no reason to tell a story. as such i am in depressed state.. pls dont add to it.
how was the visa pre-adjucated ? i dont think eb3 for india was ever current after the mis-hap in june and july. i checked all visa bulletins. but my question is.. if say i really get the card, what should i do ? do i report to INS office and tell it was given but the dates are wrong or do i keep it, if i keep it and they come back and say you were given wrongly what will they do with my case then ?
any exp in this matter ? I cant even sleep properly, my life is a crossroads.. pls help any knowledge is good at this point |
Please update your profile.

I wont elaborate on any personal opinions regarding your personal problems. Trackitt is an immigration tool. If you need help, you need to see a therapist
With regard to GC, if you got approved that is it. You got it. That is all. Unless you want them to take it away from you, but then think about it, there is a lot of people waiting for those visas.
|
Take your green card, marry your girlfriend, live your own life!
|
that is what i want to do.. in that way i need not care for spouse GC and all those as well... wish my parents understood. anyway since this is not about the personal problem. i will wait to see if i get the card and if INS will call me to tell they wrongly approved or something like that.. if they dont i will take the GC and then deal with other things.
all feel very happy the day they get there GC, i might be the first one who is sad i guess
|
what is the status of I140?. is it also approved?.What service center is handling your case?
|
GET your GC!!! Be happy with your real girlfriend. Remember life is very short, so live your own life.
|
Good for you..
Bad for all of us on trackitt.. Many people have earlier PD and RD....
So stop crying that you got GC... Just take it and keep quiet... And you can bring your girl friend on Student Visa or L1 or other options.. Once here you can marry her and wait for 5 years for the citizenship. Then apply her 485...
And this is NO CRAP that you are facing.. Stop crying even after receiving GC...
|
put all ur case dates on the tracker..it will help others under the suitation n may b help others!
|
Dude - Make sure you got ur priorities right when it comes to your personal life. You really got lucky as far as GC is concerned but don't ruin ur life for GC. Concentrate on your decision on marriage first and then accordingly take care of ur GC boon/mess.
|
me thinks he applied on FB! and doesnt even know it! LOL LOL
|
Actually i meant FB ---> coz he keeps telling how great he is coz he has an american GF !LOL LOL LOL... as if we care!.. i dont think he has any EB1,2,3! i feel this post is full of C**P
|
Gotgcbuthow,
Sorry, I have nothing to say on your love life. My suggestion is to do something about your GC approval first. Go ask your lawyer and know the facts. You need to do what’s right.
|
so..What was your problem Again?
dude..be happy for what God has destined for you...wait for some time and see if you really get the 'pink' card...regarding your personal affair..None of my business..but since you asked...weigh your options out..not necessary that you should marry the girl your parents chose for you..they probably want you to marry someone of Indian origin..for compatibility..but if your american gf has those qualities then try to convince them..may be bring then over here or..take your gf there..you do not have a lot of time left though..by the way where are you from?
good luck

Man,
Looks like your green card is approved in an error
You better call USCIS or make an infopass to clarify your situation. If you don't do that, you may get deported.
|
Be happy you got your green card approved. Check with your lawyer and keep it.
I hope you do what is best for you and not what is best for your parents.
You need to make your own decisions.
I hope you marry your american girlfriend.
I know of a similar case years ago.
My friend (originally from India) went back home to talk to the "arranged bride" and told her that he can't marry her because she is in love with a SouthAmerican girl. She understood. He flew back to America and married his girlfriend. HIs parents were very upset, mad, etc.. for over one year. Now, they life in happiness and his parents come to visit once a year to see their grandkids.
|
Trackbuzz, are you jealous, dont be, i will order an american boy friend for you
ranajee, deport yourself, as your gc mailed to where you came from,
obviously in error. he heee, just kidding.
GotGCButHow, you must be very happy that your gc is approved. if they revoke it, it is ok,
they will approve again when your pd becomes current. so relax.
btw, is there a problem in adding your case details..
regarding your marriage, did you ever expressed feelings for your uncle's daughter, did you ever
made her feel that you are going to marry her. did you change your mind after getting the american girl friend. if this is the case, then you are not going to be happy by marrying your american gf.
yeah, your uncle's daughter will hunt you in your dreams
if the american gf is your only love, then be with her. hope this analysis will help you in
understanding your sitiuation better.
talk to an IO and let us know what's up with your GC
|
This is exactly why I not like Indian culture. 100% practical, almost zero romance. You should marry modern Indian woman, someone who will challenge you and expect surprises, love and romance. Traditional Indian woman are boring and many not take care of herself but if you want to marry and have kids then listen to your parents. GC can wait ...
|
My personal opinion is, get the GC and go ahead. And, you should not have posted your personal story in this forum.
S..
|
If you can't update your profile, don't post. Unless you post your profile, I'll report it for deletion.
Propose to your girlfriend and marry her ASAP. Your parents will grumble for some time and then will accept the fate.
Consult your attorney if you can keep your GC. Are you EB1?
|
Tell her that marrying a cousin is not healthy. Some nations do that, but then they have more often these diseases:
http://www.mazornet.com/genetics/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tay-Sachs_Disease
They are called "Jewish diseases", but obviously every nation has them who had customs of marrying relatives. To have a healthy child you need a genetic variation, so chose somebody far-far from your family tree.
Think about that too..
|
GotGCButHow, you are not alone there are other folks who also got GC in short wait, just that we do not hear about it as frequently. Most people here on the forum happened to find this place when in anguish / desperation seeking help / information, which doesn't happen to someone who just applied.
I did hear about similar cases for the GC gate issue in 2005 when for a few months all dates were current, you just happened to be extremely fortunate...sort of beating 1:500000 in odds ... atleast considering .5 million folks waiting for AOS...
well who you marry is your choice and your future, can't suggest anything.......
if your GC is approved just keep it, at most inquire once with USCIS in good faith, they cannot take it back, if they do sue them back for grievance
congrats & goodluck

Hi ,
1 - If you are honest update your case for advice.
2 - You Take the GC. Send me your GF and last but not least you marry the dream girl your parents wanted you too.
dont post such personal things where you can get abused again. . .

First advice:
Do not talk to the USCIS without the help of a lawyer! If they find that they have approved the GC in error, they will revoke it, and since your previous status ended when the GC was approved you will have to leave. A lawyer either verify that the GC is yours to keep, or make sure your old status is reinstated if the GC is revoked.
Second:
Marry who ever you want! But the old saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans" makes sense here. The US does not practice forced arranged marriages, and many states does not allow marriage to cousins. If you want to become American do as the Americans.
|
Ilikemusic: thanks but no thanks… I have enough social skills to make my own friends..
Bestia, marrying first cousins is very common practice where I come from.. lot ppl are not aware of health issues tht develop in kids from these kind of unions..
IMO : If OP was able to apply in May07 then he has to be EB1 if his CC is Indian.. now tht he knows there is USICS website to find out abt his Updates… he should register and wait for other emails like CPO to come.. if they done come in the next few days he would need to contact USCIS ..
|
Thanks everyone for your suggestions, i have added my case details. Someone said i could be eb1, i am not. i did my BS and got out of college just few yrs back. And i work in finance, but i am not too great to get a card in eb1 category.
i am sorry for bringing my personal situation in, thanks for your suggestions. I spoke to my lawyer this morning as well and he is puzzled about how i got it. we are going to talk to INS (he is). so lets see what happens.
again i was under too much stress and typed everything i felt like last night, i am sorry about it. I am not as matured as some of you as i am only 24 yrs old and did not know what to say where.
|

Yeah, many nations have that (or had that in the past). Sometimes people have to give up old traditions. In old times people had many kids - so healthy ones survived, today families have 1 or 2 kids and they should care more about these things.
But OP has really a bizarre approval. From the other side - the law says that the person can't file if PD is not current, but where it says that the person can't be approved if he is not current? Anybody? |

Very good question! You need a visa number to be approved, but obviously the OP got one. The IO probably got it from the wrong quota, but would that have any effect on the OPs GC now? The OP met all other criteria for eligibility, so would it matter that the IO got the visa number to early by using another quota? Does anybody know? |
go buy superlotto, u might get lucky too.
keep the card.
live the life u want.

For me money is secondary, happiness and love is primary... all i wish is for god to send my love into my permenantly. All others are secondary. But at the same time i want my parents affection. If you all can pray for me... that is worth millions to me
Btw.. i had a question, are some people here moderators ? i see them in every post and on track it all the time, is this primary job for someone or some of your dont work and sit and chat all day ? |
Of course! We've all suffered "this much crap." Believe it or not, life is really difficult for everyone - in different ways.
You have to make your choices, and only you can decide what will make you happier. Personally, in my life, I chose my relationship and my parents disowned me in exchange. Oh well. I am in touch with aunts and uncles and cousins, and eight years later, I don't really miss them anymore. I made a choice, and then they made theirs.
Your green card matter is a whole separate issue. I'll let the more experienced in this forum guide you on that one. Congratulations! You are one of few who gets to complain about having received a green card!

P.S. My mother is a reknowned pathologist in Chennai who conducted extensive research on congenital abnormalities in Indian babies born from parents who are closely related. She obtained fetuses and still-birthed children from clans/groups that practice inter-familial marriages and I believed demonstrated that these kids were several times more likely to suffer from genetic abnormalities and birth defects.

Are you male or female, they are educated and still they did not understand you ? that is bad. My mom is not well educated, but my dad came here studied and went back and today he is one of the top dude in the state, but he is not accepting either. Since they have too much honor in the society is what they point this whole deal to. And my uncle is a minister in cabinet.. whose daughter they are planning for.. so it is huge mess that way for me to make decisions in a few days or hours. I cannot make them feel ashamed, but i wont give up my girl either. |
It is tough to disappoint your parents, but it is up to them to decide if they want to be disappointed or not. Their disappointment will probably pass in a short while, but being married to the wrong woman will follow you for the rest of your life!
And no, we are not moderators, we just spend to much time on Trackitt. It would be nice to get 1 cent for each post though. Then I would soon make $10!
|
And we don't even get points! But I don't understand their system: argaly had 122 points for 1 post, while susie has 102 points for 153 posts. OK, maybe answers give more points than questions, but the how can HH have 102 points and no posts?
I think I'll rather answer for free ......

Every post on Trackitt comes with the unwritten "just my 2 cents" - thus doubling the billable rate to 2c/post :) |

No, you are wrong! It means I make 1 cent per post, and then I have to pay 2 cents. All in all I owe trackitt $9.23 ;-( |
This pay as you go will drive some into bankruptcy :((

How about GAS REBATE cash back ? LOL :)

Your GC story is concocted,'Girl friend' one may be truth. u should cut sorry for GC story, not for other one.
somebody should conduct the narco analysis,brain mapping on you.
Now PD 2001 going on,accordingly, your turn should come on 2016
Overnight u have become a Jadugar(Magician) and got your GC.
|
I received the card today, those who gave me suggestions thanks. I will be going to the INS office no matter what on monday anyway. So that i can clarify about this.
Those who think this is not true and expressed not so happy feelings.. cheer up you will get it, think positive for everyone and may be god will make your life positive as well.... i dont have time to sit here and say stories like most of you, so if you think what is happening in my life is a bad story... good for you guys, you have too much time on hands.. sit here and write what you want. esp people like trackbuzz, gcwait11 dipub get a life guys, there is so much more in life
some of them since they are here day in and day out feel like they deserve the GC i guess.. which is true - people like me with 2007 doesn't deserve.. but if they give the card.. what can i do ? do you think this is india to get minister recommendation and get something done.. LOL guys.. i might mostly be the youngest here at 24, but some of you have some serious growing up to do. esp my fellow indian brothers and sisters.... feel happy for others and happiness will enter you life. dont think everything is a story and everyone should go thru the same mess you did... that is not a great atitude.
think about it, how much time are you guys wasting without working for your employer, if u can think of that... half of you and your atitude will change. i wonder why corporate america is going down sometimes...

dipub.. what an atitude. my turn is already here and i got my GC. you can wait till 2016 and keep trying magic and see with your ugly heart you will be half as successul as your nearest friend even. people like you no matter what good happens, crib and cry seeing others. |
Good luck, GotGCButHow! Please let us know the outcome of your USCIS/INS visit. Btw, if I may say…..Follow what your heart desires.
|
GotGCButHow.. ok..so u got ur card..enjoy it ..but as lot of ppl suggested run it by ur lawyer to make everything clear.. just make sure it is ok so tht u don’t have any problems in the future..
