FreeDom Of Information Act Request 2022-2023

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has two principal purposes for the G-639 form. First, it gives applicants a way to indicate their “desired action” (for example, apply for citizenship) in a format that is convenient for them to use. The G-639 form is also used as an alternative to the DHS form I-601. G-639 is designed for individuals who are not eligible for an immigration benefit because they do not meet the eligibility requirements; however, it can also be used for those who are eligible, but have not yet applied for an immigration benefit. G-639 is required to be completed after any other USCIS information or documentation is received, provided to the USCIS officer, and approved. USCIS officers do have the option to approve the G-639 form and complete the USCIS request without submitting, or to ask applicants to complete the G-600 form and submit it at a later date. The purpose of completing the G-639 form is to make it easier for applicants to apply for an immigration benefit. Therefore, applicants should consult with an immigration lawyer to ensure their G-639 information is accurate and complete.

G-639 should only be completed if: You or your family member is planning to immigrate to the U.S. with a U.S. citizen spouse in the future. You or your family member is under a legal disability or will need to obtain social security numbers in the future. Furthermore, you are a spouse of a U.S. citizen who is an employee in an employer's U.S.-based office or on-site employee. Furthermore, you are a parent of a U.S. citizen child under 21 years of age in the U.S. or a U.S.-born child who will be under 21 years of age in the U.S. in 1 year. Furthermore, you have a legal guardian for a child under 21 years of age who will be under 21 years of age in the U.S. in 1 year. If you are an investor, you must apply before completing USCIS G-701, if you plan on investing in the U.S. at any time. Who is eligible for G-639, and what does it cost? The 5,000 maximum amounts for G-639 is for G-639 only. G-701 is limited to 10,000 each for individuals with a minimum net worth of 1 million.

My son would love to have his USCIS G-639, so he can work more in the U.S. I work in the U.N. and am a U.S. citizen. If I apply for a new Social Security number using my son's Social Security number, can I get it as USCIS G-639? If so, when can I ask USCIS for it? How much does it cost? If it is a new application using the son's number, the processing time is one year, not the five years you expect if USCIS uses the son's number. I'm not sure if I still qualify. If I haven't worked here in a year, I can still apply to USCIS using the son's G-639 information. The U.S. government doesn't change its policies, just its procedures. But wait. There's more: USCIS says, “No application or supplemental application for a U.S. worker may be submitted when a USCIS-issued I-485 or the DHS I-94-R is in force. If you are an alien who has been employed in the foreign country during the previous year, use the USCIS I-94-A form instead.” In other words, if you have received a green card and don't work here, you can get a green card after six years, not five, by submitting I-485 Form 94-R instead.

G-639 is used to verify and authenticate identity of alien who are applying for nonimmigrant visa to enter U.S. or for lawful permanent resident to enter U.S. The validity period is five years. It is often used for spouses, children and parents of U.S. citizen or green card holders. G-639 Form is filed at the time of applicant's F-1 processing application. Applicant is required to submit G-639 to USCIS upon arrival in U.S. and to submit to U.S. Immigration Court (USCIS-IG) for the period that USCIS intends to hold an immigrant, the date of final determination of whether to approve and grant an immigrant's visa to enter the country, the expiration of the period of validity of G-639.

In 2014, about 17,000, or about one for every five million immigrants who came to the United States, as required by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. The rate has changed over time, from 3.6 percent of all immigrants in 1976 to 2.7 percent in 2014. The increase has largely reflected an increase of immigrants on skilled and unskilled visas of roughly 150 percent between 1976 and 2014. This includes the approximately 60 percent of all immigrants on H-1B visas. How does a visa work? The G-639 visa permits the alien to apply for permanent residence in the United States. At least three years must pass between entry and the issuance of the visa. Some categories of visas that allow aliens to stay permanently are called “provisional leave” visas. USCIS requires that they be valid for four years except for the O-1 visa, which is used for temporary business visits. What is this document called? The G-639 has been issued since 1958 but was first issued as an individual visa. It was expanded in 1986 as the “Green Card” category of green card permits was introduced. When combined with the S-4 (for the permanent resident visa), the G-639 permit creates the Green Card. Some G-601s, issued after 1987, are also called a “Green Card” but with a slightly different name (see footnote 1). What are the benefits of the G-639? The G-639 visa gives an alien the right to reside permanently in the United States and to enjoy the benefits of an immigrant visa category. These include certain access to federal benefits, eligibility to work, and an exemption from the normal work requirements of the labor certification process. The G-639 is considered a form of legal permanent residence. The alien, however, must apply in person at an immigration office in the United States to begin the process and has to comply with all other laws and regulations. Is an alien entitled to the permanent residence benefit after they've been admitted into the United States, have filed a petition for legalization, been found eligible for legalization by the Immigration Judge, and applied for green card status? No, the G-639 visa does not provide any legal basis for the alien's status after entering the United States. Only Congress determines legal terms of a foreign national's stay in the United States and how immigration agencies treat the alien upon that status.

A: G-639 is due on or before October 15 each year. If you filed a waiver of filing under G-639, does the G-639 waiver expire? A: No. Although the G-639 waiver did not explicitly specify an expiration year, USCIS still retains jurisdiction to review applications on the basis of the earlier filed waiver in case of a “final determination.” Can I renew my G-639 application after it had the same expiration date as the first filing? A: Yes, but you have to apply again (see G-612 and G-612-1). What if USCIS does not accept my amended form after I have filed (for example, when it was received on or after September 15)? A: If you need to get your amended form approved, you must file with USCIS a new G-612 or G-612-1 filing. You can use the form we sent to you for the new filing. You can also call and ask them for help. If I use my waiver form on the same day in which I received it, am I exempt from any applicable fees? A: Yes. You are not exempt from any USCIS fees (except for the application fee). If I file an amended G-639 (even when I received an amended form under G-612 or G-612-1) when I receive a new one, do I not need to file a new application? A: No. You must file a new G-613 application. Do I need to have a legal representation before being processed by USCIS? A: No, if you file by certified mail, USCIS will handle the fee and processing of your application in a separate area. How long will it take to process my application? A: Please refer to processing times. How long will it take to receive my application with fee refund? A: If the application fee was not paid (after all requirements are met), USCIS will mail you a refund or refund the full amount of your application (up to 10) after processing. USCIS processing times do not include the time needed to receive a refund (up to 4-5 weeks). If you need the refund immediately, you may return the application fee to our office before processing begins.
