Topic: 130/I-485 Approval Experience
I say don't take any chances man...just tell the truth. They will not penalize you for telling the truth believe me. However, you can be assured of some adverse consequences if you don't... |
Topic: 130/I-485 Approval Experience
Chances are the feds surely already know about this situation, if you paid taxes during the duration of work not covered by our EAD. In which case, asking you a question about it would be merely a way for thme to proble your character and you don't want to fall in the trap. My adice is just tell them as it is. Nobody ever asked me this question during my experience. |
Topic: Letter from employer verifying employment and income
Your husband does not need to tell his boss the reason for which he is requesting the employment and income verification letter period. He works in the government and he is entitled to request a document supporting his status with air force. it is his right and the government's obligation. |
Topic: Can you be arrested for not carrying your Green Card?
This law seems to be a little bit excessive...makes me feels like i am living in a police state or something and it brings bag sad memories of when some folks had to abide by similar laws and wear that david star somewhere... I understand having to carry it to be able to produce it when requesting privileges entitled by the card.... |
Topic: Can you be arrested for not carrying your Green Card?
Thanks for the reply franticsky. I will not take it lightly and carry it at all times. This law just seems curious as they can always verify your status... |
Topic: Can you be arrested for not carrying your Green Card?
I just been approved for my green card and received a notice of action which read " You can use it [permanent resident card] to show your new status. When you receive your card you must carry it with you all the times if you are 18 or older. It is the law."
Now, anyone knows why one has to carry his/her GC at all times when a simple driver license can provide proof of identity? I have never had to walk around with my passport before I got green as my driver's license would do it all. Other than it is the lay why would I all of the sudden have to carry the green card at all times ? what is the rational behind this? |
Topic: 130/I-485 Approval Experience
I second Seymoe's opinion. OnerReally does not need to pay thousands of bucks to a lawyer just to fill some forms... below is my interview experience which happened on Tuesday:
Things went extremely well...were very impressed... Wife and I went to the Boston field office for our appointment last Tuesday. everything well rather smoothly and we were approved on the spot. The IO were extremely friendly and only asked to see my passport and my wife's driver's license. She asked me all the standard questions about whether or not I am a terrorist, communist, here to overthrow the government, have been involved in prostitution, etc... Every now and then we would talk about the weather, the IO family's cat, and other humorous things.
The conversation and interaction with the IO was really friendly and professional at the same time. We spent overall 30 minutes in the IO's office more than half of which were spent chatting and 30 minutes waiting to get called in the IO's office. At the end, the IO told us that our application was "dandy", approved it and gave us a letter of approval.
The IO asked me to surrender my EAD card, but did not have me on me and asked me to promise to not let anyone else use it and mail it them as I did not need it anymore. Overall, it was a great experience which started on February 25, 2008 and ended on Tuesday 16 June 2008. We did it without lawyer by the way... We even asked the IO about the usefulness of a lawyer for such a process and told us that we don't unless you have been arrested say seven times...
To get back to your question, Boston is known to be one of the fastest office in processing time in the country. It took us altogether 4 months to get the green card. The experience and outcome is not bad for the some over thousands bucks charged in processing fees. |
Topic: Just wondering about interview letter...
Don't worry hdshull! things would work just fine. I remember going through the same period of anxiety and stress as well... |
Topic: Just wondering about interview letter...
Here is my time line again....
Application sent 2/19
Application Received 2/21
biometric taken 3/20
interview notice 4/22
EAD card production ordered 4/27
EAD card received 5/04
interview and approval date 6/16
Below is my case's timeline as compared to what the database projects for Boston [in bracket ] and the national average (in parenthesis)
Average total days to interview: 117 [123] (150)
Average total days to first Notice of Action (NOA) : 3 [9] (12)
Average total days between first NOA and Biometrics: 29 [29] (33)
Average total days between biometrics and interview: 86 [87] (105)
Average total days between biometrics and decision date: 86 [99] (108)
Average total days between decision and receiving green card: still waiting should be getting it by end of next week according to data. But this morning I received a LUD that card production had been ordered [6] ( 15)
As you can see these data are pretty much on the bulk and you can take them at face value....Hope this helps. |
