我的綠卡申請過程--family based GC

 從麵試到拿到批準信共曆時約 8 個月。但從其他人經驗看，從 50 天到 2-3 年都有，所以還算運氣。

麵試 :

麵談前要完成體檢，填好表格，買 money order( 最好按不同申請表買不同數額的 ).
DORA 要求先通過以下網址預約麵試時， https://infopass.uscis.gov/info_en.php
一般會約在 10 天以後，打印好 預約麵試單，帶齊所有文件比預訂時間提前 30 分鍾到達指定的當地移民局。

7:15am 窗口交齊所有申請文件和費用 , 等候約 2 小時，一個美國老太叫我們名字， 宣試我們所說的一切都是真話後，他拿出我的 FILE ，開始問很簡單的幾個問題，幾乎都是對著表核對名字，時間，地點等，表都是自己填的，事情都是經曆過的，所以不用想就對答如流。然後要我們的三年報稅表，各自的離婚文件，結婚證，我的離婚證是中文的，所以要求我麵試後盡快找翻譯並公證後再把材料交到該處（一星期後找的當地提供翻譯並能做公正的人完成，老公又去一趟遞交補充材料）。準備的照片等都沒要。整個過程約 15 分鍾吧，告訴說麵談通過 , 讓我們回去等打指紋通知 .

GREENCARD PACKAGE :

所有申請表格都可以從 USCIS 網站下載 , 仔細閱讀填寫說明後按個人情況如實填寫 , 懂英語的都完全可以自己填 .

Document lists:

I-130 ($190) Petition for Alien Relative
I-485 ($325) Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
I-765 ($180), Application for Employment Authorization
I-693 (about $200), Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status (My medical exam)
G325A ($0), Biographic Information ( My hubby's biographics, My biographics)
I864 ($0), Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the Act (My hubby's financial addidavit; proving that he has enough financial backings to sponsor me and he is above the poverty guideline)
fingerprint ($70)

 

就這麽麻煩又簡單。不管有沒有綠卡，生活在繼續 . 等待時要耐心，材料遞上去就忘記它，照樣每天開心生活 , 驚喜會在任何時候降臨 !

在這裏多謝所有分享經驗的人們。也希望我的經驗對大家有幫助。
也祝這裏等綠卡的 xdjm 一切順利，早日過關。
