Foreign nationals may obtain their green cards by marriage through a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (LPR). If the marriage is less than two years old at the time residence is granted, the foreign national will receive conditional resident status. The actual conditional residence card will have a two year validity date. Individuals who obtained their resident status based on a marriage less than two years are required to file Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions 90 days prior to the expiration date on the conditional residence card. Once the conditions are removed, the conditional resident status becomes permanent.
The petition to remove conditions should be accompanied with evidence establishing the validity of the marriage since being granted conditional resident status. Supporting documentation of a valid marriage may include:
· Birth certificates of children,
· a copy of the rent/apartment lease,
· mortgage payments,
· joint filing of tax returns,
· utility bills evidencing both names,
· copies of pictures,
· itineraries or boarding passes,
· insurance coverage listing both names,
· joint bank accounts,
· driver’s licenses evidencing both names,
· letters from family regarding knowledge of the marriage (including envelopes with postmarks),
· receipts for items purchased together (ie: furniture),
· cards written to both for a holiday, birthday, anniversary.
Other documents accompanying the Form I-751 include:
· A copy of the conditional residence card,
· Two passport style photos for the applicant,
· A certified copy of any arrest record and disposition of the case (for individuals who have been arrested or detained),
· A money order payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $545 for filing fees.
Kraft & Associates will answer your questions on conditional resident status and permanent residence. Call us at 214-999-9999.

I am fine with abandoning the current H1-B extension process. My question is if there will be any problems leaving the country on an expired I-94 even though I am still technically in status.
My concern is that I will have problems if I apply for a tourist visa or H1-B visa in the future.

Just want to share the info that i got from my immigration firm news letter
Under Section 265 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), all non-U.S. citizens who change their residential address are required to notify the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within 10 days of the change. This applies to all adults and children (of any age) who are non-U.S. citizens, including U.S. green card holders.
A person who fails to notify the USCIS of a change of address within 10 days of the change is guilty of a misdemeanor under Section 266 of the INA. The penalty for failing to notify the government of the new address within 10 days is a fine of up to $200.00 or possible imprisonment for a period not to exceed 30 days, or both. However, the government has not enforced this section of the law that rigorously to date, and many notify the USCIS of their change of address well after the 10 day reporting period without an issue, but this could change. Since we have seen an increase in USCIS enforcement activities with respect to H-1B employers and H-1B workers, and since many H-1B employers place H-1B employees at client locations around the country for short-term assignments, it is very important that H-1B employees notify the USCIS each time they move within the 10 day reporting period.
In order to report a change of address to the USCIS you may download, complete, and mail a Form AR-11 or Form AR-11SR (Special Registrants Only) to the USCIS, or you may report your change of address, electronically, by visiting the USCIS web site (www.uscis.gov), and following the procedures provided by the USCIS

I have a question regarding my spouse who is on H4 visa.One of the company did H1b processing through "CONSULAR PROCESSING". Her H1B is approved now.
1) She is ready to work from Oct 1st as she got some project.Her employer said that they have to apply for amendment(COS) to get I94. Is this right?
The company either has to file a COS or she needs to leave the US and re-enter in H-1B status.
2) How many weeks will it take under premium processing to get new I94
15 calendar days for CIS to make a decision
3) Do they have to apply only after Oct 1.
No. Since she is already counted towards the cap, they can apply now but the start date will be 10/1 or later.
4) Are there any chances of getting rejected at this stage.
There's always a chance of a denial, but the risk is low if she is maintaining H-4 status when the COS is filed.

Hi,
I did not sign in the 325 form...where it says that sign here
"if your native alphabet is other than Roman letters, write your name in native alphabet below".
Would this be a concern?
Thanks

I dont think there is one (at least legally). However, even if revoked, you may apply for new H1 (without quota bar, if you are within 6 years). The IO may or may not give you a new I94, so you may have to exit the country to get a new visa/I94.
uh? no time period to transfer h1b?? does anyone have a clarification on this point?
i heard it was between 10 days to 2 weeks???

Hello experts,
Here is a situation of my friend .
1.He lost his and his wife's passport alongwith the receipt notices and FP notice.The current visa which has expired and I-94 is also lost.
If he is in states then he can apply for new passport .For FP Notice he can just walk in to office get FP done on that day provided he has copy or A number with him .
Apply for duplicate copy of H1B approval ,I think it cost @ 200 - 300 $
2.The lost passport includes the old passport with old visa in it.
Get duplicate copy of h1b and go outside usa and get visa stamp on new passport.
Can you please throw some light as to what are his options.
Thanks & Regards
Just my 2 cents...

Immigration Voice Team and Members,
I guess you may have seen this new bill introduced by Rep. Lofgren. This bill would be a boon to eagerly awaiting qualified candidates. Is there anything we all can do to push this reform!!!
Rep. Lofgren Introduces Bill to Retain International Talent
Bill Would Allow Best and Brightest in STEM Fields to Stay in the United States.
May 14, 2008
Washington, D.C. � Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) recently introduced H.R.6039, which would allow masters and Ph.D. level graduates from U.S. universities in science, technology, engineering, and math to obtain green cards without waiting in long lines, if they have job offers from U.S. employers. The measure enjoys strong bipartisan support, initial co-sponsors include: Reps. Chris Cannon (R-UT), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Chris Carter (R-TX), John Conyers (D-MI), Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Tom Davis (R-VA), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Wayne Gilchrist (R-MD), Mike Honda (D-CA), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Jim McDermott (D-WA), George Miller (D-CA), David Reichert (R-WA), Linda Sanchez (D-CA), Loretta Sanchez (D-CA), John Shadegg (R-AZ), Adam Smith (D-WA), and Ellen Tauscher (D-CA).
�More than 50% of the graduates from U.S. universities in masters and Ph.D. programs in science and engineering are foreign born,� noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. �If we want our economy to continue competing in the global market, we have to retain these foreign students so they compete with us instead of against us in other countries. These men and women are the innovators of tomorrow, and we aren�t the only ones looking to retain their talents. Increasingly, employers from Europe, Australia, Canada, and even China and India, are beating U.S. employers for valuable talent. In 2000, for example, 75% of the world�s engineers were hired by U.S. employers�just six years later in 2006, that percentage dropped to 63%. This legislation will give U.S. employers another tool to recruit the world�s best and brightest.�

it's catch-22 situation. its easy to get 797, but not VISA, entry to US and most importantly a job in this economy. same as housing, cheap prices, but no job security. not to state the obvious but, there is a reason why cap didn't reach in a day.
a good idea though is, apply for H1, get 797 approved. Normally its for 3 years from Oct'09. But don't go for stamping for another year(not sure if u can wait on stamping) or the period legally allowed and don't try to come to US for another six months or the period legally allowed . So u can come to US in 2011, if its allowed legally. does any one know the law?
