I implied or stated that people can enter on a K1, get married and get an AOS package submitted within 3 months. That part, with the exception of the forms which other than revisions are not controlled by USCIS and, have not changed since 2014. There is ample evidence here on VJ of people doing it (you can search yourself), as I have seen several recent posts of people getting their packages together before the I94 expires. As to the San Diego FO specifically, no, I am not aware of any specific VJ case. Also, I am not dismissing what some lawyers are saying, but I do like to stay open minded and reserve judgement until we get the entire story. I expect there is a reason SD seems to be the forefront of this, and I would like to understand this more rather than make a conclusion on what some lawyers say. Time will tell, but I do agree, policies have changed, maybe this will get Congress to actually do something rather than using "Immigration Reform" as a political football. -

Common sense which generally means it will not pass. One State’s Green Mandates Can Become Another State’s Nightmare States that have adopted “clean-energy” mandates are accustomed to having ratepayers in other states help them pick up the tab for their headlong march to a green utopia. This is especially true when this involves stringing high-voltage transmission lines across vast expanses to conduct intermittent wind and solar power generated in remote locations. But no longer willing to serve as innocent bystanders in the schemes of others, a growing number of voices are calling for a halt in the practice. “States must pay the costs of their own goals. That’s a basic principle of cost allocation – and it’s being ignored across the country right now,” notes Rep. Julie Fedorchak (R-ND). “Families and businesses in states like North Dakota shouldn’t be paying higher electricity bills because other states choose unrealistic, expensive mandates.” https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2025/12/10/one_states_green_mandates_can_become_another_states_nightmare_1152476.html

Fair enough, but maybe a little Operation Chaos would be warranted on the Dem side.

I guess he hasn't met my wife. Seriously though, I would not expect that all immigrants vote one way, particularly those that have lived through the farce of socialism, but who knows, maybe Trump would sign it and Barron and Melania would renounce their USC and go back to Slovenia to avoid the IRS. Heck, there might be a tax advantage in it. -

What country is he from? You may investigate Global Entry, and maybe he could do the biometrics/interview at his arrival PoE. Beyond that, should not be an issue traveling/re-entering on the endorsed visa/temporary I551. Good Luck! https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/eligibility -

You can't (per the bolded portion)? I know that was a quote from someone else, but there are quite a few VJ members here that will say different as they are getting the I485 packages in within the 90 days. Heck, my wife and I did it ourselves back when we were at that stage. I have heard there are some states where it is almost impossible to get a marriage certificate in 3 months, but that is a state bureaucracy issue, so people in those states should look at an alternative such as Vegas, the Utah online option, or go to a different state. As I said, it would be nice to get complete stories when these items are reported. As you mentioned, the SD field office is approving cases, so it is not a simple case of every AOS being rejected. I am not really sure SD is off the chain as you opined, but rather that FO could be more in the spotlight simply due to the proximity to the Southern border.

Has anyone said this is not happening? The main question at least I have is what is the entire story of the individual case(s) where this is happening. The reason I ask this is that it does not appear to be happening to everyone going through AOS via either a K1 or B2/ESTA, so it would be prudent of the media reporting these incidents to get the entire story before scaring everyone.

I would start by studying the guide (linked below). Whether you use a lawyer or not is up to you, but if you are a fairly organized person, comfortable with getting the evidence needed for the forms, able to fill out the forms, and do not have a case involving any past legal issues, you probably do not need a lawyer, but that is completely up to you. The community at VJ will be happy to help you answer specific questions as you go through the process if you decide to do it yourself. Good Luck!

Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025

You are absolutely correct. This bill is worded horribly, and does not address much of the process related to renunciation. You also hit on a great point regarding the voluntary nature of renunciation. Maybe this is a trial balloon by Moreno to see where things lie. I don't think the dual citizens are all on one side of the political aisle. As to Trump, I believe at least Barron has dual citizenship, not sure about the three oldest children. -
The question is will you vote for Crockett in the Democrat primary so she is front and center? Based on what I hear about her, she is more narcissistic than Trump.

It will be interesting to know if he was functioning enough to do this on his own, or was there others assisting him.
-
I agree with limiting phone use in schools, etc., and quite honestly I am not a huge user of social media (VJ an exception), so have no issues with people not using it. My main question is how effective will this plan be, and do we need a government body doing this?
-
This could be interesting. Wonder if it will be effective with the age estimation by inference? I expect a lot of kid can figure a way around that. Maybe parents should parent and not ask a government for help. Australia’s Social Media Ban for Children Takes Effect The ban initially covers 10 platforms, but the government said the list would change as new products emerge and young users switch to alternatives. Of the initial 10, all but Elon Musk’s X have said they will comply using age inference—guessing a person’s age from their online activity—or age estimation, which is usually based on a selfie. They might also check with uploaded identification documents or linked bank account details. Musk has said the ban “seems like a backdoor way to control access to the internet by all Australians” and most platforms have complained that it violates people’s right to free speech. An Australian High Court challenge overseen by a libertarian state lawmaker is pending. https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/12/09/australias-social-media-ban-for-children-takes-effect/

Even more perplexing is the Democrat thinking that people that look alike need to vote the same. Can't they see how bigoted that thinking is? At least you will get a chance to vote for J. Crockett for Senate.
