我來貢獻一點結婚綠卡的申請經驗

我來貢獻一點結婚綠卡的申請經驗，希望能對申請結婚綠卡的同道中人有一點點幫助。

首先是時間表：
08/25/05 先生遞交入籍申請
02/14/06 先生入籍麵試， 通過麵試
03/14/06 先生入籍宣誓
03/20/06 遞交我的結婚綠卡package. (詳見document list)
03/21/06 ins 收到package
03/24/06 ins 發出receipt notice
04/03/06 ins 發出 指紋 appointment
04/15/06 打指紋
06/06/06 ins 發出麵試appointment
06/23/06 ins 發出EAD
07/19/06 麵試， 通過麵試，蓋綠卡章

我不知道這算不算快的，但比我想象的要順利：從發出申請到綠卡章，是整整４個月。比很多人說的１年還是快很多。下麵分享以下經驗：

１． ｐａｃｋａｇｅ　要整齊，有條理，　並全麵。　如果申請的是ｐａｃｋａｇｅ，就有好幾個ｆｏｒｍ．　我是１３０，　４８５，　７６５　一起寄的。每個ｆｏｒｍ　要求的補充材料要分開放。要分開裝訂。還是看我的ｄｏｃｕｍｅｎｔ　ｌｉｓｔ　八，比較清楚。
２． 給ins 一個document list 和一封cover letter.

Dear Sir/Madam:


Enclosed you will find all the necessary papers for the petition for my wife, xx xx. As an American citizen I am looking forward to your kind assistance in this application, so that my wife may enjoy the privileges of being a permanent resident. I appreciate that I’ve been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work in the United States for the last xx years. I hope that the country I have come to know as home will be gracious enough to extend the same chance to my wife, so that we can continue our lives here as a family. We respect the country, how we value freedom and industry and firmly believe this is the best place we can raise our future children.



Thank you for your help.



Sincerely,



Xx xx
