    Make sure to research health insurance options for your Mother. It can get quite expensive unless she is young and healthy enough to find a job that provides insurance.

    Any chance your partner can travel to UK? Aside from esta worries, shouldn't the partner return the favor and not have you travel all the time.

    I would be very suspicious of my son dating a woman that many years older. You are still a very young adult and have a lot of life lessons ahead of you. Please be very careful. Don't allow yourself to be pressured to do anything for love if you are not ready. My 30 year old brother recently married a love of his life, a woman who is 43. The difference is they are both fully grown and mature adults. Please, don't do anything before you are ready.

    Asylum application occurs after arrival in US. Refugee status is granted before arriving in US.

    Refugees are not the same as parolees. They would have to be granted refugee status prior to entering US.

    Look for resettlement agencies in your area. They know how to help with applying for certain benefits, help with housing and employment.

    I am helping my friend with submitting N400. She obtained an LPR card 15 years ago as a derivative of her husband’s employment petition. Two years after arriving in the US and living as an LPR she got divorced. Prior to this marriage she was married to her first husband back in the home Country. Citizenship application is not based on marriage. She does have divorce decree for a second marriage (divorce occurred in the US). Does she also have to submit divorce decree for first marriage with her N400?

    Just getting a US passport is way cheaper and faster. Some people submit N600 because they want to have another proof of US Citizenship in case passport is lost. I am just perplexed why N600 is so expensive. Maybe some other members can list more advantages of obtaining Certificate of Citizenship and spending all this money. I honestly don't see many advantages.

    How did you obtain your LPR card?

    You should also research health insurance options and cost for your elderly parents. Unless they are still young and healthy to find a job that provides health insurance.

    If he makes up his mind and decides to be with you, then have him immigrate to your country instead. It is really inconsiderate of him to change his mind after you left your life, family and work or school behind to be with him. I don't think this is even forgivable. I sense this might be the end.

    Why don't you try contacting your senator first? It's free and they may try to unstuck your wife's case.

    Your lawyer is trying to scare you unnecessarily. Don't worry about it and reapply when you have continuous residence.

    Also, there was a discussion at one point that oftentimes immigrants get rejected by recruiters because they think we will require sponsorship.

    This is sad, but I noticed after few years of solid US work experience and strong references your background doesn't matter that much anymore. Have your fiance visit Finding work in US section on visa journey to prepare for work search. It's also a very good resource for immigrants waiting for EAD to exchange ideas, share success stories and to vent about looking for work.

    This is so true about sounding or presenting less foreign. Once I dropped my foreign degree from my resume I got a lot more calls from recruiters. Also, I think my foreign degree also aged me (think age discrimination). Once I left my US University only on the resume I got a lot more calls and invites for interviews. Sad, but true.

    I love this list!

    Are you looking to visit or live in US?

    If she entered before your two year anniversary as a married couple she will receive two year conditional LPR card.

    Moving to US first makes perfect sense. I imagine it would be he hard to figure things out for two newbies, unless you have family here that can help you in the beginning.

    I know someone with prior arrests who got quoted 5K from a lawyer just to take the case. This is in Fairfield County, CT. He didn't end up hiring a lawyer and got his Citizenship. We obtained all court and police records and truthfully answered all questions.

    Wow! No wait, this is interesting. I guess CA is a place to be for a new LPR. I am only familiar with CT rules. Sponsor income and asset deeming still applies even after 5 years for elderly LPR (not applicable for magi medical aka Obamacare). Unless the exceptions from affidavit of support occur (LPR becomes a US citizen, sponsor dies or LPR earns 40Q). I guess I shouldn't be surprised the politics of particular state play a big part in access to public assistance.

    Is medi cal better or easier to obtain for an elderly LPR? I am curious, because in CT even an elderly LPR will not qualify for Medicaid until after five years have passed as an LPR. Even after five years proof of sponsor income/assets is required in order to be considered for Medicaid (there are few exceptions to this requirement).

    Non issue. Undocumented people get married all the time.

    I did exactly that! Burned everything in the fireplace. It was indeed very satisfying 😂
