回覆 1104# Nillie_Mami 的文章

Dear Nillie,

HI...Nillie, long time no see as very seldom to visit BK forum since I'd been so busy to travel to & from HK/USA/HK since last 6 months.

As I'm going to stay a little bit longer in HK for this time but I haven't apply "return US permit" during my stay in US, so is it I'm legally to stay outside of US and back within 180 days ?? (I mean to maintain my Green card)

Hope to received your soonest reply, thanks!

Regards,
Chrisdia

Hi Chrisdia,
我有小小晤係好明?? 你係咪想知半年內做frequent flyer between US/HK 合唔合法??
你張greencard 有1年自由出入境嘅期限, that's mean. 你可以離境over 6months in a roll, but no longer than 364days.
但如果你要離開US over 1 年, 就要於離開US之前apply 回美証, 回美証good for 2 years.
但如果你係想如期入籍, no matter 係家屬, 婚姻紙, 你每次出境要小於5個月零29日..in order to do your nationalization.
hopes that help!!

Dear Nillie,

Sorry for making you confuse. Below is my question :-

1) in order to maintain my green card (not nationalisation), I have to return to US with 364 days, right ?

2) how long can I keep my green card if I do not want to get "nationalisation" ?? (life time or just few years)

Regards,
Chrisdia

1) 問題係你每次入境都有機會俾人收番個証,到時你係死都唔好俾佢收同唔好出境,之後要搵律師搞;我識人係咁,最後佢係要乖乖留喺度直至入籍,美國d例成日變,你如果想成日出入境,要留意多d至好
2) 理論上係,每10年要換一次証,到時要去國安局面試同再影相~都係果句,美國d例成日變,而家係咁唔代表以後都係~
你點解唔入籍呀?你要成日出出入入都有d危險喎(我指俾人收証)

Dear Rose,

多謝你的回覆, 其實坦白講, 我真係唔係咁 care 關於入藉的問題, 因為 :-

1) 我的物業, 資產, 生意, 男友都在香港 ;

2) 我曾經在 US 生活過一段短時間, 但其實唔係咁吸引 / 接受, 我之所以攞 GREEN CARD, 100% 因為家人一早已經做咗, 唔想浪費佢地 D 錢及時間,

3) 二來我同男友亦決定唔要小朋友, 所以在任何地方生活都一樣 ;

所以我在安排應該點樣去 KEEP 住張 GREEN CARD, 如果必要時, 我可能會 QUIT......

Oh I see. If the reason for you to keep the Green Card is just for convenience to travel to US visiting your family and you have no plan to come for good, I would suggest you to consider surrending your Green Card to US Embassy. You can explain your issue and request for a travel visa for a longer time. I know someone whose family is in US and he has a good pay job, a flat in HK. He enjoys the life in HK and he does not want to start over in US. He took his GC to US Embassy and explained his situation. Finally, he received a visa valid for 10 years. At least, he does not have to file taxation and travel to/from US/HK any more.

Agree with Rose-mag, a travelling visa will better fit your need in your case, instead of travelling to US every year and have the risk for the immigration to take away your green card.
And it is true.. air ticket is much more expensive than the travel visa.. also, if possible to get the business visa, usually good for 10 years...

Chrisdia,
people who get their greencard from relatives for re-union, they can submit their N-400 when they received their green card for 5 years.
(on condition- you should not leave US more than 5 months 29 days in 1 period).
If you did leave US for more than 6 months, then, you will need to calculate the days again, from your re-entry. You need to stay for another 4 years and 1 day.. certainly, you still have the right to travel, but never leave US for more than 5 months 29 days as usual.

Dear Nillie,

我之前問過你我點樣apply我個bb返USA since daddy係american.但係我地個plan有變喇....

我地本身諗住到到咁上下就會返usa,但係我地而家可能唔返usa,去canada喇....

等我講返個background先...
我hubby係half black american,我同佢未結婚,我地有個7 months old, 本身我地諗住等個仔咁上下大先返去usa,到時返到去先結婚,所以佢就話唔洗理點攞green card住. 但係我地個plan唔同咗喇....佢話佢想去canada多過返usa...我知呀仔就for sure會有 american passport,係睇我地幾時同佢apply同埋幾時佢先會有full benefit. 但係問題係我....我問daddy,話洗唔洗apply咗green card先,佢話而家係好難攞...佢話何況佢想去canada多D,咁我話,咁我地immigrate 去canada呀?佢話唔知呀...不過可以唔洗架嘛...唔攞 citizen都得架...問題又黎喇...佢同個仔係american,可能佢地得,但係我唔係....咁又得唔得呢...

其實佢係連佢自己想點都未知...所以就咩都唔做...因為佢唔想做D唔洗做既野,又唔想做錯咗個step第之後冇得轉彎...
我自己又冇話一定要同佢返usa,同佢一齊,我又唔mind係係邊...因為我自己有個travel visa,所以我又唔會話去唔到美國...

但係我媽咪就係咁問我地會點...因為佢知道apply green card唔係話apply就有,要等好耐...所以佢就覺得我地要早D整...點知佢話佢有個client,啱啱攞咗個green card,只係用咗6個月...佢係apply fiance visa,佢老婆入咗美國藉.佢地本身係丹麥人...問題係,自己本身既國藉會唔會affect到呢?我hubby話佢係half black可能咁樣會令我apply green card比起如果佢係white難....
我而家都未知我地會點,但係我唔想到到要做果時咩都唔知,所以想問清楚....睇下有D咩我可以prepare定....
唔該哂你呀....

Hi Hi Julichi,
Be honest, after the whole message I read, your boy friend does not want to apply the green card for you. Is that correct?

First, you should get married, to get you the right as a spouse of US citizen (I hope that he is) as you have never mention that. You can get married in HK. I did that with my husband in HK.

Then, no matter where you planned to go. Apply for your greencard where your husband is. If he is in Hong Kong, apply it in HK for I-130, (citizen apply spouse)
This is America, not any countries with bias..
Half African American is American, Chinese American is the same. That makes no different between Half African American or white or chinese or european at all. Their processes are all the same!
After he submitted the application with complete documentation, it takes about 9months (usually) to complete it.. then you will ask to go for body check and interview.
That does not relate if you want to migrate to Canada, Australia or China...etc..
Do not let him to have so much excuse.

Beside, you talk about the benefit, what are you looking for?? what kind of benefit? can you give me more information.

Talk to your husband again. for safe, you should get married and get your I-130 filed, there is no reason.... just to sit here and do nothing.
well, it is up to you, for sure.. but.. if I am a friend of you, your situation sounds abnormal.
When I got married, my husband wished to SHIP me into US as soon as possible .. and I was the one who was lay back and did nothing.. did not follow up with my police check in Australia.. and my husband did everything.. (well.. I was sure I wanna come that time, that's why... )

I don't want to make you.. to start an arguement with your boy friend... but you gonna think about yourself and your child.
Does his name on your son's birth cerificate as father?
Get your green card first, if you end up, chose to go to Canada with him, you can give it up at any time, or just keep it with no problem.

Hi Julichi,

Sort of agree with Nillie...
There is no difference for an African American, a Chinese American or a Caucasion American to apply for his wife. The difference should be where his wife comes from, not his own race. I heard from my friend who wants to apply a visa for his wife that it takes longer than before for a couple who have married before application, especially from China. He told me that it would take her 2 years at least.

Instead, it would be faster if you apply for finace visa and then get married within 30 days after you land. I have just have a friend who landed Colorade last month and she married her husband within the first 2 weeks. I cannot look it up how long she took for application (information in my FB but I cannot login at work) but I believe that it is around 9 months.

I am imagine that your BF does not want to deal with the paperwork and all the procedures. Of course, he wants to avoid that if you all end up go to Canada. But, how he applies a Canadian visa for all of you?

Nillie, Rose-mag,

What rose-mag said was right, he is the lazy kind of person in someways... that is why he doesn't want to get ourselves in troubles before he is sure where we are finally going. About the marriage thing, we didnt get married at the first place is because he was thinking of going to the navy seal before as he got laid off during the finical tsunami. Getting married especially with a chinese will get him more difficult to get in the military, that is why we are not married. But then after our son's born, he doesn't want to leave us, so he is still here and under the stress and pressure of both taking care of the baby and job hunting, either of us want to get married right at this moment. And i think he knows it is more difficult to get a green card if we are married before applying, that s why he keeps saying getting married when we are in usa.

I understand from what a third party's view, it seems like he doesn't want to marry me and take responsibility, but that is not in the picture. and Nillie, yes, hes the father of our son in the birth cert. so it is fine for him.

He got no intention to go back to usa with us right at this moment and not in the near future as well coz he want our son to study in hong kong as he thinks the education in hong kong is way better than usa, of coz he is talking about the public school, plus, he wants our son to learn chinese.

Of course if you are asking me, i personally want to apply the green card first since that will bring no problem to us as a family no matter where we end up going, but i am in a very passive position which i can do nothing on my own, i have to be depending on him in every action. I don't know how to raise the question with starting any fights while he is in a great pressure of not being able to get a job and not being able to give what he wanted to give to us. There is nothing i can do on my own, right?

As for the canadian visa, i got no clue as well. But you know, everything right now is just a plan...and tons of things still have to figure out before knowing if it is workable......
