Really? And your basis for saying this is.... because that's what happened to your cousin??

Sorry, but I'm more inclined to listen to Mr. Folinsky on this:

The members of this board have been posting from the time you were still in the womb. Don't post ill informed comments without knowing the nature of the CIS. As such comments will mislead the poster leading to a disaster. The CIS is known for making very subjective, idiosyncratic decisions far from protocol.
Don't make this board turn you from OUTKAST to OUTCAST. jk.

No she is not an attorney, but her advice and experiance over the years has proved to be equal to that of a certified professional, and is not to be sniffed at.

As long as it was granted correctly. If USCIS granted it by mistake, it can be taken away. That's a fact.

Ted Kennedy served in Senate for 47 yrs...Obama wasn't even born when Ted started serving. John Mccain devoted his life in the senate chamber; while obama was there only 4 18 months. thus, a rookie shouldn't be underestimated. and remember, everyone was/is rookie at one time?

however it doesn't mean rete is wrong in her opinions on her. she is a long time member who has learned and read all this so often on here over the years. but undermining a rookie member solely based on number of posts and date of membership is completely wrong in my humble opinion. that's all.
I apologise if my statement is seen as vitriolic to rookie members, I ask the moderator to delete my posting if necessary. That said, its hard for me to stay quite seeing a rookie member questioning the seasoned correct opinion of a regular well informed poster.

I am with you Lostlove your post is fine.

Whilst 1234 does have a point, in this particular instance I see no relevance.

Outkast ,

don't forget that the US immigration law is not meant to let you into the country. Everything is rather to be understood to make the immigration as hard as possible.

If I am allowed to repeat Ian-mstn - immigration is a benefit and not right.

USCIS will make your immigration process difficult or impossible. Even if the USCIS makes a formal mistake you will have to proof it.

Any formal error can jeopardize your whole immigration process.

Please also remember that your are only get out of the Immigration radar

when your citizenship has been approved And even than they can still get

you if you lied during the process.

I would follow the adivise of Senior members in this forum. Al least you avoid expensive attorney costs for the same advise.

But as always it your choice what you want to do - as well Only you have to pay the price for not immigrating by the book.

Very true crosscountryrider! These wrong advices given without thought and experience often land people into more serious immigration problems. Next thing you see them running to the most exp. AILIA lawyers for clean up janitorial work. Often quoted by Mr F.

She is giving her free knowledge as we all try and do, but in Rete's case she has contributed more posts over a longer period of time.

ll,

Only if OK is awfully young. And his attitude does indicate that he may be, mentally anyway.

But your point about relative levels of experience is valid despite the exageration. :

Instead of questioning the legality of Rete's advice, why don't you post something helpful to give us some direction. I see your an exp. certified counselor.

I'm not attempting to make things harder nor have I ever held myself out as an attorney.

You need to read the I-751 posts here and also the instructions on the I-751. You may file a joint petition and then if you find yourself legally separated and subsquently divorced before the I-751 is adjudicated, then you need to file a waiver for the removal of conditions. Allowing it to continue and to accept the 10 year green card without notifying USCIS that you were divorced prior to the removal of conditions then the green card is void. As for Haley's reply of what an attorney said to them, the statement is most likely incomplete.

As for being at the back of the line, what difference does it make if you have to wait another two years for naturalization. The clock for that starts at the approval of the Conditional Residency. Unless, of course, you married an American for a green card with the plan to divorce, become a USC, and then import a foreign spouse with your new US Citizenship.

Hi:

An answer can be right, wrong, or who the hell knows? No matter who gives it. Even attorneys have to go "oops" from time to time.

The OP has gotten the wrong information numerous times. Repetition does not correct a wrong answer.

OP may never have a problem later on. Or then he may.
