    We've always asked for large booklets (52 pages). One time they did regular (26 pages) for my child even though I marked 52 so they ended up adding pages to the passport - was weird to see it but that was back in the day when you could add pages to the passport - no longer possible.

    This article is missing that AAP is still highly encouraging "gender affirming care" and not backing down. Those folks will never own up to just how much pain and suffering they've caused - hopefully someone goes after them as well.

    Yes unless you have a letter from IRS that you're working on the debt repayment.

    That's a bit confusing - how did you apply in 2024 for someone not even born until 2025? Is this a typo?

    Currently at 16 years and waiting for my sister - she's in Europe. Petition and forget about it.

    Why aren't you contacting Frankfurt consulate to ask about this or going through military liaison at your base? https://de.usembassy.gov/contact/#frankfurt There's also militaryinfo@uscis.dhs.gov on https://www.uscis.gov/archive/germany-uscis-frankfurt-field-office Last effort - your congressional representative - should've been in touch with them when you received a notice.

    Wow - the lawyer was very direct. But seems on point - second marriage happened while still married to the first wife (divorce didn't happen until 2020s?). Ex-wife staying in his place when she comes to visit (adult) children. I wouldn't be surprised if they connect the dots and pull his green card, second wife's asylum claim and deport them to Syria.

    Well this is a DIY forum. If you need legal counsel, google immigration lawyers. You came on e-2 - ask the lawyer who helped you with it?

    You have to be in a valid status to get it done - pending AOS is not a status - it's a limbo. EAD card or green card is what you need. Example - I got a SSN back when I was on J1 visa a long time ago. There was a letter missing in my name as I had it added through court - when I came to visit a friend I went to SSA to see if they can add the missing letter I was turned away as I was now on B1 visa - no status. Only after I immigrated couple years later was I able to make change to my SSA record.

    My reading is different - she knew he was incarcerated and came to visit and ended up marrying and staying - OP, what visa did you enter on? Or was it VWP? OP's spouse still has another 6 years before release. OP, the quotes USCIS guidance clearly says MAY - not a must, may. That could trip you up as they can choose not to go without your spouse's presence. There's no obligation on USCIS officer to follow the may guidance.

    Yeah, no - they won't change it after I-94 expired. You'll need either a green card or EAD to get it changed.

    Can you either go back to the airport and see CBP there or find the deferred inspection processing location near you and go check if she's been fully processed and her SAVE file updated? Often times you can call deferred inspection site but not sure what it's like now.
  33. milimelo
    If you are indeed a green card holder then you wouldn't have I-94 issued. Edit to add unless you were a K-1 visa and then did AOS. People on immigrant visa do not get I-94s.

    In my opinion, those guidelines were artificially low for at least 15+ years. As a new immigrant I had a job in under 4 months at $37k when prices were much much lower. (apparently that would be $55k in today's dollars given inflation). I can't imagine bringing in anyone at $26k for two people - that's starvation for both. They should at least base them off Alaska - minimum is $33k for two people. The other thing is that I-864 just weren't enforced by anyone except some lawyers for divorce alimony/child support purposes. No one was going after sponsors if the new immigrant went on welfare, medicaid, or similar.

    Actually, based on the info posted I don't think anyone would get past 221g until this is sorted out. I expect lawsuits to start including class action ones. For Bosnia don't know what's the background but could be IR5s as most advanced age adults don't speak English, have no or minimal prospects of work (satisfying 40 quarters of work), Medicare issue and potential use of medicaid. Not sure about other potential welfare use. Younger folks normally don't come near welfare upon move to the US - I certainly never have since stepping foot in the US as an immigrant. Just guessing here as I've been long done with USCIS - what could work in your favor: your fiance has current job that they could transfer skills to in the US market, speaks good English, you have medical insurance you can add to, I imagine that would be fine.
