我在网上看了蛮多教程,说的千篇一律,但是很多细节却没有说。我就想把我自己申请的过程在不泄露自己信息情况下交代一下。希望能够帮助更多人。我先交代一下背景。
我是公民,我今年刚和老公结婚,公公和老公一起来美国,老公是I-20读书,公公是特殊人才EB-1,已经在2017年年初通过并且拿到绿卡。家人有讨论是婚姻绿卡还是让公公申请儿子,最后结论是婚姻绿卡比较保险,所以我就开始了DIY婚姻绿卡申请之路,我尽量写的详细,我也在申请当中,有问题可以留言一起讨论,如果有好的TIP求告知。
DIY绿卡是个大工程,慢慢准备资料吧。
【表格】
首先,要准备四个表格:
- I-485/身份调整绿卡申请—费用:申请$1140+打指模$85=$1225。但是,在特殊情况下,申请人无需缴纳全部费用。此处所指的特殊情况是:
年龄在79岁以上的申请人无需指纹识别费;总费用为1140美元不变。
年龄未满14岁的申请人无需缴纳指纹识别费;总费用为1140美元不变。 - G-1145/申请电子的通知—费用:申请$0.00,这是一个非常简单的表格,提交了之后USCIS就会用电子邮件或短信的形式通知你OPT的申请进程。
- I-130/亲属移民资格申请—费用:申请$535.00
- I-131/回美证资格的申请—费用:申请$575,但是如果和I-485一起申请的话无需交费,看官方网址。
- I-765/合法工作资格申请—费用:申请$410+打指模$85= $495,但是如果和I-485一起申请的话无需交费,看官方网址。
“Please note that, if you file Form I-485 to adjust your status as a permanent resident on or after July 30, 2007, no additional fee is required to also file an application for employment authorization on Form I-765 and/or advance parole on Form I-131. You may file these forms together. If you choose instead to file Form I-765 and/or Form I-131 separately after July 30, 2007, you must also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of that you filed a Form I-485.”
申请人必须将支票直接付给美国国土安全局 ,Department of Homeland Security,不要用缩写。
因为美国公民为配偶申请婚姻绿卡无排期,所以可以同时提交I-130亲属移民资格申请以及I-485身份调整为绿卡申请(I-485申请需要附上petitioner也就是公民的I-864 Affidavit of Support及资金担保证明文件),都是寄往USCIS。递交申请的同时可以提交I-131回美证申请以及I-765合法工作资格申请(即工卡申请),一同附在一个申请包裹中。如果没有要旅游的打算,可以不申请I-131回美证。如果不想要电子通知,可以不提交Form G-1145。其他都必须提交。
【Cover Letter/封面信】
这玩意其实是所有资料做完后做的,但是因为我写了,我就写在前面,我写了五张,一个是整体的Cover Letter,一个是I-485的Cover Letter,一个是I-130的Cover Letter,一个是I-131的Cover Letter,还有一个是I-765的Cover Letter。我知道有些人就写了两份,多准备点总比少准备点好不是么?
准备Cover Letter请写清楚地址,FedEx, UPS, and DHL价格贵,我真心觉得没啥必要,我选择了USPS。地址如下:
- U.S. Postal Service (USPS):USCIS PO Box 805887 Chicago, IL 60680-4120
- FedEx, UPS, and DHL:USCIS Attn: FBAS 131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor Chicago, IL 60603-5517
整体的Cover Letter/封面信:
USCIS
PO Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120
