    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 😂

    I would also include a letter from your father in law specifying the dates you both lived with him as a married couple. It's an affidavit from your first "landlord."

    Nothing wrong with MIL wanting to visit her new grandchild. She should just reapply and see what happens. My Mom got her tourist visa after a very quick interview back in 2015. Good luck!

    By far the easiest step of immigration journey is getting US Citizenship. She can file online. Just make sure she meets continuous residency requirements and other criteria.

    Start planning and researching about cost of medical insurance for your elderly in-laws. Unless they are still young enough to work and get a job that offers health insurance.

    I filled my Mom's DS-160. I was on Skype with my Mom while filling out the form. No issues. She got a approved.

    Please let us know how it went at the airport.

    It's really easy. Check off the box that states I am not a US Citizen and mail it back. You will receive a response shortly by mail stating you are disqualified from jury duty. Happened to me twice before becoming a US Citizen.

    If the wedding is in India in 2024, I would consider getting married in a courthouse asap (in US or Canada) and kick start I130 now. Then complete your religious ceremony in 2024 as planned. You would be saving time.

    I only dealt with one at the time.

    It is required for initial passport application. I remember my Cetrtificate arrived few days after my paspport. Later, when renewing you will have to send your original passport with passport application.

    Contact your senator.

    Your wife could take a semester or a year off from school, work full time and pick up some overtime. After you immigrate you can work and help support her while she is finishing her degree.

    I agree, it's too valuable to lose it. Too much pain to have it replaced.
