Re: Foreign National marrying a Green Card Holder

I believe you're right, Rete. This is one of the reasons why a lot of GC holders who want to bring spouses to the US just wait until they can apply for citizenship before starting the petition...

Re: I just submitted my I-129f - what is the average time to actually get a visa?

I'm sorry Bill - unfortunately, USCIS doesn't care about your fiancee's job or her english skills. They are most likely to just ignore all the "extras" you sent - sure, they vouch for her...

Re: crossing the boarder USA Canda

Good question, that. Sometimes, I think it's just a matter of someone having pissed in their cornflakes (shredded wheat?) that morning ;)

I never get any trouble from either Canadian or US border...

Re: crossing the boarder USA Canda

That's a dangerous claim. If they have any suspicion about what you're bringing back into the US, they can have a look. Saying "no" isn't a guarantee you won't have issues.

As for the GC scans,...

Re: I just submitted my I-129f - what is the average time to actually get a visa?

Also note - you will receive a receipt from USCIS with some "target" dates (how long it takes to process that kind of case) thingie. It's about worth the paper it's printed on. :) That said, it...

Re: I just submitted my I-129f - what is the average time to actually get a visa?

That's the million dollar question.

Right now, California Service Center is working on petitions dated on or before March 2, 2006. Does this mean anything? No, not really.

A lot also depends...

Re: AOS Cover Letter

Re: On CNN this morning: Visas delayed, and so on...?

I totally feel your pain.

The year we applied for our VERY simple 129F there was:

a) the shredding scandal at CSC
b) a 9 month wait for approval through NSC (our service center)
c) the...

Re: Wife filed taxes "single"

Betcha the shirt he wore was striped. NEVER wear stripes with plaid.

Marion,

I mean this as constructive criticism, and you are welcome to take it or leave it (and I mean that in the nicest possible way, I do.)

Hey kid. :)

I hired a moving company back home in Ottawa to move my stuff to Minnesota. I wasn't in a rush, so I had them find a shipment that was coming in my general direction. Piggy-backed on...

Re: Consequences of not filing I-751 in time

Hi ramNagab - fair enough. I will recommend that course of action to the person this concerns. Hopefully they will figure out what to do.

From what I have been seeing on these boards in the last few years, I'd say it happens. Things get misplaced, lost, or not forwarded on time. Hopefully they will all sort it out soon!

Re: entering US with Re entry permit

I guess it's all in the wording, right? If you come in on the VWP, and you're not admitted, then you can't be "removed" since you were never "admitted" in the first place?

Oh, I totally agree with you (I should say I totally defer to your lawyerly knowledge). It was the wording that made me giggle.
