  1. Not a huge fan of DD, GH, etc., and this is just another example of why I am happy when we are making our own food.
  2. Curious, and a little devil’s advocate, could he/she have thought it was a stray? Not sure of the type of neighborhood, but cats are not usually simply out to roam unless they are barn cats.
  3. Send it to the USCIS California Service Center (a search will give the address) or the Portland USCIS field office or boat. And yes, this is optional, so don’t lose any sleep over it. Good Luck!
  4. You as the USC only control the I864 submitted with the AOS package, so that is the only thing you can request be pulled back. The I765 and/or the I131 should end up being canceled automatically once the I485 is canceled after you pull the I864. Good Luck, and sorry it didn’t work out for you.
  5. That is highly likely, but we are already riding a sea saw politically speaking
  6. The only requirement for “consummation” is to be in person during or after the online ceremony. That can be done in public amongst others.
  7. Utah online marriages are recognized by USCIS and consulates, but as @SalishSea mentioned, you need to meet in person during or after the ceremony before you can file the I130 before those entities will recognize the marriage. I would def8nitely pursue the spousal visa option in this case, as I expect the K1’s may be impacted by the travel bans. Good Luck!
  8. Immigration reform has become the political football for both parties. Most of what is written is already at the discretion of either the DoS or DHS, so I think the 1% estimate of this becoming law is too high. Much like the dual citizen bill introduced and discussed in another thread, this seems like political theatre.
  9. Fortunately, for me at least, I am not a huge fan of ice cream. That wasn’t always the case, but back when I was a kid, my mom’s family ran a dairy processing business that also made ice cream, so I sort of overloaded on it. In the rare events I do partake, I tend toward the traditional such as French Vanilla, or Maple Nut, and we have a local dairy plant that makes a great variety. I also liked the ice cream in Russia, it is different somehow, and very good. I think it has more to do with how they freeze it.
  10. That is the funny thing about all this great tech and social media platforms we have now, it has taught kids and even adults to be more antisocial. Add to that a general loss of respect for authority, and I guess sometimes you need more to enforce something like a no phone policy.
  11. Thanks for providing this. So yes, affidavits of people that know her can be helpful, but as I said earlier, probably those that have known her the longest will carry more weight regardless of their place of residence. Also, you can add more as you establish more friendships in your new location. Good Luck!
  12. I am interested to understand where you are hearing affidavits of good moral character are now required for the N400? In general, I believe USCIS uses things like proper tax filings, lack of criminal activity, or not claiming to be a USC at anytime before becoming one to judge that aspect of an N400 petition. That being said if you wish to add these affidavits, I don’t think it matters where those people live, but rather the amount of time they have known your wife that would matter. Good Luck!
  13. Thanks for the update. Just curious did you cross by land, or enter at an airport?
  14. To be fair, getting a marriage certificates in some locales can take an inordinate amount of time.
  15. Since you appear to be doing your research, I would go back and re-read the comparison list @Crazy Cat posted. The differences are stark and the CR1/IR1 spousal visa is far superior to the K1. She can move back, establish herself with work and file the I130 (assuming you get married before she leaves), and continue to establish herself while it is processing as she will not need to provide the affidavit of support (I864) until the petition proceeds to the NVC stage. By that time maybe she can find a potential co-sponsor if needed, or another job, etc. to show she is able to support you, and then once you get the visa and enter, you can start working immediately. In the end it is up to the two of you. Good Luck!
