Did you translate those too? Seems a bit desperate to be honest. Isn't Grindr like many dating apps location based? Was he in Greece or you in the US? How long ago did you receive your EAD? Your English seems good enough so you could try to get a job (market is a bit hard but maybe?) so you can contribute financially and show finances together. (Both incomes going into the same account) I think as you two live together, know each other you should be fine. Also don't be afraid of saying i don't know if you really don't know the answer to the question instead of trying to make something up or try to guess what the officer wants to hear. "I visited the U.S. on a tourist visa and dated him for a month before marrying." "We got married four months after I entered the U.S" This doesn't add up already. Maybe it is your choice of words or my English, but for me this comes through as you got married after one month. To clarify the timeline - 2 months online - you came to the US on tourist visa to visit - 1st month "dating" - 2nd and 3rd months what? - 4th month getting married - 5th to 10th month overstaying - 10th month AOS filing

I used the original uscis pdf and quizlet to create my own flash cards with the specific answers needed for my state. I read the question aloud and answered it to simulate the interaction. Your partner could do the same, mine was annoying as hell since they wanted to more and asked follow up questions and i just wanted to pass the exam. Honestly by now i barely remember any of the answers Would have loved to go to a history class to learn more, but who has time to do that. ChatGPT/Claude etc might be an interesting solution too. I would verify what it generates first to make sure it is correct. These LLMs can be very confident while they are completely wrong and if you don't know for sure it will convince that it is right :)))

Nothing to salvage here. Block him too and move on. I understand that in the long run it might help you and your family for you to be in the USA, but does it worth for you to be abused all day every day? He def has issues beyond something you can not fix even with your best intentions. He is a walking red flag

If you are officially separated then it shouldn't cause any issues. Divorce takes time, money etc. I think as long as you have a timeline and not all this happened in the last 3 months (like meeting a new person, etc) , you should be fine.

I didn't address the gap. If the recruiter asked or during the interview I explained that I was not authorized to work in the US in that period. The more important thing is to mention that you don't require work sponsorship of any kind. I added that in the summary section of my resume or in the cover letter (in case anybody reads it). Since you have an English name probably it is less obvious for the recruiter so you might not need it, but I was asked like right out of the gate if I need sponsorship even before getting to the qualifications/work history

Yeah I reported it yesterday, nothing happened to the title

You can sound political. It is clearly favoring white immigrants. Don't know much about what is happening in South Africa, but can't be worse than cartel killing people and their families from South America if they don't want to join the cartel.

Nah looks like they are visiting....

Usually time is a problem. Depending on class he might not make much progress. Hopefully it is a good program. Luckily I think (if i remember it correctly) most of the reading/writing are from a pool of words, sentences etc. So you can make him practice those. Also the civics test is a set of predetermined questions/answers so he can study them or worst case memorize the answers. Since it will be read out loud you can help him by reading the questions and him to answer them. That will be useful at the interview vs reading it by himself off a flashcard. Or he can read them out loud too That is how I practiced, drove my spouse crazy :))) So there are ways to have a smaller subset of things he can focus on vs the daunting task of "learn English for the interview". To practice reading/writing you should be doing some books that are for children/young adults depending on his level. This is not an insult, but using those types of books he can learn the basic words and sentence structure that will make it easier later on. Also movies in English and with English subtitles so he can associate the heard words to the written form. This might be hard, but he should cut off the Spanish content for a couple of months. Forcing yourself to use a language that you are not comfortable with will help enormously. When I was a kid, I had to use a old school dictionary to translate lyrics, took forever, but with google translate now it is fast so if he doesn't know a word it is easy to look it up. that would also help with spelling since he would need to type it into the app. I barely write with my hand anymore, so i did practice a bit since it felt alien to needing to write it down instead of typing. Also you can try to do dictation where he could write in a google doc and then the autocorrect would suggest the correct spelling or on paper and correct it later. If you speak Spanish, it is time to cut it out when you are speaking with him. Sure if there are certain nuanced things you need to say sure, but 99% communication should be in English. When he will tell you that he dreamed in English you are on the right track. And when he notices that he thinks in English as default you are golden. (I still can't do math in English since i didn't practice that) I wish I could go to South America for a couple of months to learn Spanish. (duolingo, taking Spanish course at a community collage didn't help much unfortunately) so in my opinion the important thing is the immersion.

Nothing out of the ordinary here unfortunately. All connecting flights after landing in the US you will always have to pick up and re-check your luggage and go through TSA again, transfer terminals etc. Glad to see that you made it despite being tight.

Safest is when you have the passport(s) with the visas(s) in you hand.

The "downside" of K1 is that you will be in limbo until you get your EAD or Green card. It is like I can get here faster, but then can't do much beside hanging out with the spouse and making friends, exploring the city.

This is what Florida wants form an immigrant to get an ID https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/what-to-bring/immigrant/

Not every state will give you a state id based ONLY on the social security card. Most of the will want to see EAD,. greencard. At least that was it a couple of years ago

That section is more like for if you go by X but your real name is Y. E.g you go by Bill or Will but your id has William on it. Or Ralph but you go by Ralphie Or you picked up an american name because your real name is hard to pronounce etc
