How long do i have to live in the UK (specifically london) to be eligible to apply for a permanent residency?

i.e. %26quot;leave to remain%26quot;.

i'm currently on a student visa and have been living in london (specifically camden town ;D) for 10 months. My visa expires in 2010 but i cannot stop attending classes and work full time without HO's permission. How do i go about getting that.



i have been offered a job as an ESOL tutor, and that is my main reason for wanting to change my status.



i'v heard from people that i need to live in the UK for a year to apply for a %26quot;leave to remain%26quot;? (did i just answer my question?)

How are does one state find out when you have moved to another?

I am planning on moving to the west coast within the year. I want to go ahead and establish residency there but I am not ready to report to the state I currently live in. How do states report moves and changes of drivers license?
How are does one state find out when you have moved to another?
no that is why it is a law, you have to change your adress within 90 days of moving, or you can get a ticket for that but it is not roughly enforced. Just don't get caught
How are does one state find out when you have moved to another?
your supposed to do it, if you establish residency, your supposed to go to the dmv and swap the drivers license, alot of utility companys wont allow service with out of state license, and not to mention when you wwrite a check, or file taxes. good luck with the move
They find out by YOU letting them know...

THANKS SOOO MUCH! if someone went through all this and can tell us about ur case would be awsome!

I don't think it would be a good idea to travel outside the US until you physically have your green card in hand....if you leave the country you have the posiblity of getting a ban placed on you and not being able to return. The I-130 usually takes about 6 months to a year to process..depending on what field office it goes too..vermont takes the longest. And then you would have to file your AOS paperwork..so I don't think you will make it by Jan. 16. Sorry! Best of luck to you!

Along with the residence applications to enable you to travel while they are pending you should also submit

form I-131 which is the travel document application.Follow the instructions for Advance Parole. See uscis.gov for it

and instructions.

How do I leave country while my permanent residency application is still processing?

I am here in the US with F-1 student visa. My husband (US citizen)and I just got married in Sept '08 and we are applying for a permanent residence this week. My F-1 visa will be terminated this week because I am applying for change of status. However my concern is that we have already set a wedding ceremony date on June '09. I am worried that I will not received my permanent residence status in time to attend my ceremony. Is there something I can do? ie. expedite? re-entry form? Your input will be appreciated. Thanks
How do I leave country while my permanent residency application is still processing?
This is not a problem. As you are here in the USA (Legally) you can file the I 130 (Petition for Alien Relative) and I 485 (Adjustment of Status forms together) When you file these forms you can also file (at no additional charge) in I 131 (Travel Permission/Advance Parole request) and I 765 (Employment authorization) Like I said it doesn't cost you anything, they are free when you pay the filing fee for the I 485. I filed all of my paperwork (with a lawyer) almost a year ago, Dec 7th 2007. I got my advance parole and employment authorization at the end of Jan 2008 so I was able to travel at that point and go into any job I wished. I had my green card interview April 7th 2008 and had my physical green card in the mail 3 weeks later. So from filing to having my green card it took just over 4 months. If you are filing now, and don't have to go anywhere for at least 6 months you should be fine, particularly if you file the advance parole form and state on there the dates you need to travel. In fact I would tell them you need to travel by say March 08 that way you can make sure you have travel permission by then at least. If you need any help with forms etc let me know, I have scanned copies of all my forms. Good luck.

BTW if you are already married, why are you having a ceremony in June 09??????
How do I leave country while my permanent residency application is still processing?
It can take almost a year. It always depends on the center itself. I would hold off on a ceremony abroad until you get a clearer idea of how fast they are processing. I filed in March of 08 and I'm still waiting. Good luck.
File an I-131 application for travel document if you want to leave the country and return. You want an advanced parole (this form has multiple uses).
The only thin you can do is file a form I 131 for travel permit . In this way you will be allowed to reentry the USA .

I think that you will file a I 765 with your I 485, if that is the case you will have your EAD and with that and the permit is going to be fine.

Go to www.uscis.gov , download the form and the intructions, and mail it asap .

Can i get married and apply for residency if i entered the US with a tourist visa?

I am in love with my fiancee we've been together 5 years, he's a US citizen.

Last year I was in the US with my Optional practical training visa and i was able to get it because i graduated from a college in this country,



My fiancee and I want to get married, and i was just wondering how long it would take for me to get a green card after I marry him so i can work?

My OPT ended in at the end of December 2008, we wanted to get married soon so i didn't have to go back to my country and leave him here, but for many reasons i had to go back to Mexico and stayed there for almost 2 months. I got back in the US February 14th 2009 and i entered the country with my tourist visa. If we get married, fill out and send all this forms below will things work out? or will they deny me because i entered the country as a tourist?



Is it possible for me to wait for the change of status while being in the US or would i have to go back to my country while everything is in process?



Any info will be greatly appreciated, and I thank you very much before hand!



are these steps correct?

- Get married

- Once married and i have the marriage certificate in hand my husband files the following forms:

* I-130

* G-235A

* I-864



- I file the following forms:

* I-485

* I-765

* I-131

* G-325A

and Send all in one envelope?

Do not marry on a B-2 visa (and overstay) as it may jeopardize your chances of being petitioned. Do it the right way. If you marry now, you have to go back to your country and wait for the petition to be approved (K-3). OR Go home and let him do the petition for a fiancee visa. Both have the same time period for processing. Varies from 8-12 months depending on the load of the embassy. At least, if it is a fiancee visa, when you finally get married, you just have to adjust your status. No need of going back to your country.

Being on a tourist visa you're not eligible to adjust your status, your application would almost certainly be denied.



Your options are to leave the country and apply for a fiance visa, or to get married and then apply for a spousal visa.
Listen USA is not russia or North KorEA BE CAREFUL
I think you will be perfectly okay. My husband entered on a tourist visa also and that process is exactly what we did. It took us a total of six months until he had his greencard in his hands. Good Luck. And send everything in one packet that will make the process faster. If you need any advice e-mail me.
Do not file I-130/I-485 or marry until after May 15th otherwise you'll have to deal with presumption of dual intent - ie visa fraud. After 90 days the presumption is no longer there. You also need to send photos, medical examination and copies of supporting documents (take originals with you to interview) Please see an AILA immgiration attorney to help you. It does not appear that you know what to do, you'll mess up and then you'll have to pay the lawyer 3 times as much to clean up the mess.

Residency in FL (for tuition purposes)?

I'm 19 and live in Wisconsin I want to become a FL resident for tuition purposes, so I was wondering how could I make my aunt my guardian, even though 19, or can change it so that I'm her dependent. Is that possible? I currently go to school here in WI and I don't want to take a year off of school just to get in state tuition. I just moved here from FL 3 years ago cause of my parents.



Please help! I don't wanna be a prisoner of this state as an adult, because my parents wanted to live in cheeseland.
Residency in FL (for tuition purposes)?
First, you can hardly be a dependent of someone with whom you don't even live...especially when you DO live with your parents!! Second, in both Wisconsin and Florida, you are an adult. You don't need a guardian and I can hardly imagine any circumstances that apply to you under which a court would grant another adult guardianship of you. You are not in any way disabled - you basically just want to cheat some Florida college out of their out-of-state tuition.



Also, remember that just living in Florida (or most any state) for a year does not automatically qualify you for in-state tuition. The language from both the University of Florida and Florida State's policies apparently quotes the state law: %26quot;Living in or attending school in Florida will not, in itself, establish legal residence for tuition purposes.%26quot;

Residency in FL (for tuition purposes)?

I am originally from Florida, but my parent's decided to move to Wisconcin during my junior year of H.S making me a Wisconsin resident for tuition purposes. I would like to change my residence to FL for tuition purposes. I know it's alot more difficult here than most other states.



I have got an aunt in Miami, but how do I change it so that I'm her dependent instead of my parents.



On the other hand, my parents left a condominuim they've had for the past 5 years, could I do anything with that for tuition?



Lastly, I'm planning a trip to Miami next month, so I'd like to get my lisence, voter registration and car registration changed.
Residency in FL (for tuition purposes)?
I believe ur aunt and u would have to tag-team to get any of that done. I believe u'd have to go along with her to the local DMV and inform a representative that you now live in Florida amongst ur aunt. Of course, she'd have to verify that she's a Floridian (utility bill, driv. license, stuff like that may help). Pay the fee 4 the new drivers license and badabing, ur officially a Floridian resident again. From there, the rest of the things that u want oughta not be hard to get so long as u have the common know-how of getting them. They're basically the same through the states. Matter of fact, even if you don't have the common know-how, they oughta be easy to get. :-)

I don't think that condominium thing has any affect regarding reverting ur residency.



Hope I've satisfied ur inquiry!

Peace and love!
