Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 4:19 PM To: taxman at centa.com Subject: Paying customer Hello david Thanx for the info I am requesting the link for a usa green card I was married on dec 3 2004 xxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------- david ingram replies: Since you have married and are living in Canada, you must complete your paperwork in Montreal. If you had remained in the US after being married there, you could have had the paperwork processed in LA or San Francisco but would not have even able to work while there and could not come back to Canada without going through more formality in the form of an advance parole. The forms I am listing here are the ones you will generally need: G-14 - this form is requested if they can't find your file or need additional information. It is usually filed after you have made an interim inquiry. It does NOT go with your original package but you should look at it to make sure everything asked for on this form is included with your original paperwork. http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/g-14.pdf I-130 - This form is the actual petition your wife will file to bring/take you to the USA - The fee is now $190.00 http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-130.htm G-325 - This form is a biographic form and can be filled and saved at this site. http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/g-325.htm G-325A - this is another biographic form that may be asked for but is not submitted with the original paperwork - you would usually submit with your I-485 http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/g-325a.pdf G-325B and 325C not likely to be asked for I-485 - Application to Register Permanent Status I-693 - Medical Examination http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-693.htm I-864 - Affidavit of Support Your wife will have to prove an income of about $16,000 for the past three years and submit US 1040 Income tax returns to prove it. If she does not have enough income, assets can used to qualify. And if she does not have enough assets someone else may be used. Remember that this affidavit agrees to support you until you have worked in the USA for 10 years. To end the agreement, you must have 40 quarters of employment. http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-864.htm Note that you can print one large file of the forms needed at this site. I-864A - Agreement of support between sponsor and other household member http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/I-864A.htm I also want to point out that your wife would have received a larger refund if she had filed a joint tax return last year if her income is over $15,000 or so At $30,000 income, her refund would have been about $1700.00. Hope this helps - I would be pleased to help with the tax return and some of the paperwork, Answers to this and other similar questions can be obtained free on Air every Sunday morning.
