US Immigration from Argentina

Hello everybody,

I am posting this question here because I don't know where else to post it in Visajourney. So, here we go...

I got my GC through marriage to a USC this April. Now I have just sold property abroad for 56k. The taxes of the property are paid in my home country, so I don't have to pay taxes in here. I have documentation certifying this (both in the original language, and translated by an official translator here in the United States).

Now, the problem lies in the restrictions that the government of my home country imposes on foreign transactions. Believe it or not, they charge 3% every $2000, so we would lose a lot of money if we do it that way.

My father has a friend that lives in Europe and is visiting my home country, so one idea would be to give that friend around 10k, and have him transfer that money from Europe into my American bank. Would I be in trouble for doing this? Because that friend is not on the deed, so there is no way I can justify having that money from him. Idk, maybe I'm over thinking, but I want to be super cautious, yet not lose so much money!

Any help/ pointers will be highly appreciated.

Hello awesome people,

We filed for AOS yesterday, with the current pandemic situation I have read USCIS using previous biometrics data for pemanant recidency applications.

I did my biometrics in my home country in 2014 when I applied for F1 Visa. Can USCIS use my 2014 biometrics data for the AOS application?

I know I am thinking too far ahead,but I'm curious if anyone have any similar experiences.

Thank you!

Hello everybody,

First of all, apologies in advance if this topic does not pertain to this forum. I really don't know where else to post.

I obtained my current DL when I was an F1 student. It is expiring next week, and my local DMV office doesn't have appointment availability until 08/10. I certainly don't want to be driving around with an expired license, but I need to drive!

Since the DMV is not open, can I -as a permanent resident- use the DMV kiosks or are they only for US citizens?

Is there any other way to renew my DL without having to wait? It certainly can't be done online unless you are a USC.

Hi,

I got my conditional GC on 04/29 this year. My husband and I don't have health insurance yet (we are still under the 90- day period with our jobs) and we were thinking of using Planned Parenthood for birth control until our insurances kick in.

Is this a public benefit? Will it impact my ROC process two years from now?

I have been googling it and from what I've read, it is not considered a public benefit. However, most of the information I found was posted prior to the Trump administration and thought that maybe things have changed.

Thank you in advance, and have a good week! Stay healthy!

My girlfriend of 5+ years is an USC. She was born in the USA but moved to Argentina as a baby and never lived there. We've been engaged for 2 years know (very romantic proposal @ Central Park)

We've recently decided to move to the US and started browsing for the available options (I have spent countless hours here on VJ)

By now we have narrowed the options to three:

• Get a K1 Visa for me and get married in the US
• Get married in argentina and start the CR1 visa process
• Travel to the US on B1, get married and then apply for AOS

Which path do you believe is the more apt for us? and also which path is the one that would allow me to get a work permit sooner?
