Congratulations!

That is why they needed all the extra condoms.

She's not old enough to catch your eye!

It looks like you need to file a new I751 ASAP with the information USCIS asked for in the RFE(s) and in the denial letter. I would dump your current layer as they seem to be a waste of money. Good Luck!

There are no restrictions to movement or living accommodations for either the petitioner or beneficiary. If you know for 100% certain the near future address of your foreign fiancé, you can put that in your I129F. Otherwise you or she can update her address when she eventually fills out the DS160 for the eventual K1 application at the consulate. Good Luck!

My most recent experience is with my niece and her husband entering on DVs. They received their GCs within 6 weeks of arriving and activating their IVs. They did choose the SSN option, but we had some time and the SSA is relatively close to us, so we visited the SSA office, and they had their SSN/SSC within 4 weeks of arrival. YMMV, and I would not suggest making a special trip to the SSA unless your local office is fairly convenient to you. Good Luck!

Yep, they messed up. We recently ordered a book through Amazon and received a box full of Fresh Wyoming Air (upvote to anyone that recognizes this movie reference). Regardless, Amazon made it good and we received our book a few days later.

In the statement I bolded, there seems to be some petulance of the Leftist NGOs that are all in favor of open borders. They left out the word "illegal" to their statement, but hey, whatever creates hysteria I guess. Yes, this law probably exceeds federal immigration laws and rules, but doesn't California's environmental laws and regulations exceed those of the federal government and yet are allowed to stand due to a waiver by the EPA. Maybe DHS can grant a waiver to Iowa for this.

Understandable as the cartels may have an income stream restricted. Maybe limited incursions by the US military could do some good.

As you know each entry on a B2/ESTA is at the discretion of CBP, but if you have a history of playing by the rules, don't show up with all your worldly possessions, have proof of your need to return in 10 days, and answer the CBP officer's questions truthfully, you should not have any issues. If you are worried about wasting a lot of time, maybe consider going through Ireland at a CBP pre-clearance airport. Good Luck!

Sorry, I was in a hurry, I meant that many consulates prefer IRS transcripts. The same could probably be said of USCIS, but I have seen more stories of beneficiaries getting RFEs for transcripts at the consulate stage than at a USCIS interview for say AOS.

She should have copies of the documents. Also, I suggest getting IRS tax transcripts instead of returns, many consulates prefer them. Good Luck!

Not really sure anyone can say with all certainty that this could not be cause for denial. Back when my now wife and I were going through the K1 process, we met twice before applying, and I was also in the room when she was being interviewed at the US Consulate in Moscow. It helped as she was definitely asked about the ongoing relationship and the fact that I was there supporting her seemed to be in our favor. I will agree that a denial is unlikely with only one visit (particularly in a low fraud country like the UK) if they have a lot of proof of an ongoing relationship, and there are no other red flags, but each interview can result in more headaches for the beneficiary and petitioner depending on the CO.

I will echo the above comments. When entering on a K1, it is best to do the SSN as soon as possible since it will help with so many other things a newly married couple needs to do such as co-mingling their lives. As mentioned, there are other routes to a SSN, but these are less desirable for a K1 entrant. Btw, going to an SSA office is not that bad, just don't plan on going first thing in the morning.

I agree, if one is here legally, and has documents proving that such as the NOA from an I485 filing they should be fine.

Bernie is right, rich people like him should pay their fair share of taxes. Beyond that, not really going to pay much attention to a Communist/Socialist who has never worked a day in his life.

Entitled Deep Stater it appears.

Social media, and especially the leftist synchronized media are driving the hysteria. My wife finished her immigration journey under Trump (naturalization), and it was no issue.

Kroger or Meijer in general, (Kroger is closer), Plum Market for produce and things like parsley, dill, green onions, cilantro, etc., Costco for some stuff, and occasionally Whole Foods.

New one tonight. Very hoppy!

Apparently they can when appointed as a municipal (traffic) court judge. Probably related to the fact that immigration is not within the jurisdiction of the municipality that appointed him a judge of traffic court. It seems the raid might have more to do with his law practice than his being a municipal judge. More to come I suppose. Hmm, maybe he was not too good of an immigration lawyer. But two people with knowledge of the investigation told WPRI that the federal agents were looking into Flynn over allegations that he defrauded his clients seeking representation on immigration-related matters. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14320525/FBI-Homeland-Security-raid-law-office-Joseph-Molina-Flynn.html

Thanks for continuing to update the community on your progress. To answer your questions, I will try. 1. It is hard to say when you will hear something, but hopefully within 6-12 months. As always, patience is a virtue when it comes to immigration, and USCIS. 2. Your case is currently at a service center, and they issued the RFE, so this is where the response goes. Once your case is transferred to your local office, then that entity will take over, and if they issue an RFE for any reason, you would respond to their desired address. I hope that makes sense. 3. If USCIS finds new issues, they will send you a new RFE, and allow for you to respond. Denial would only come from not responding to any RFE’s or at the end if an interviewing officer (and their supervisor if necessary) determines there is grounds for denial. Good Luck!

Ok, quite a bit to unpack here. You can get married here in the US with him coming with ESTA, but he cannot enter the US with the intent to stay and adjust status. Therefore your only option is to get married then you as the USC file the I130 so your spouse can eventually get a CR1/IR1 spousal visa (this may take 1.5-2.5 years). Then you mentioned the goal of dual citizenship. Once your foreign spouse gets their spousal visa, and activates their GC, they will need to live in the US for 3 years as a legal permanent resident before they can apply for US citizenship. So overall, you are looking at a 5-6 year endeavor. You can start by researching and becoming a student of the spousal visa process (guide linked below). To start the process, you need to be married, and that can happen anywhere. Good Luck!

VDH is always spot on with his analysis, and this one is no exception. The Addicted, Petty, and Hysterical Left In sum, the left wants no debate because they know voters have rejected what they saw and suffered during the last four years of the Biden administration. Forgetting nothing, learning nothing, like zombies, leftists keep screaming banalities. But like addicts and their feel-good fixes, their hysterics only further turn off the public as they destroy themselves. https://amgreatness.com/2025/01/23/the-addicted-petty-and-hysterical-left/

Hmm, those "progressive" left Danes could be very nasty. Why Greenland’s Independence Terrifies Europe The truth is that Denmark has many valid reasons to fear the resurgence of a separatist movement in Greenland. The otherwise peaceful and democratic Scandinavians subjected the inhabitants of Greenland to inhumane torture, humiliation, child abductions, forced sterilizations, and rapes. And we are not talking about centuries ago, but just a few years ago. So the memories of the Inuit who endured the horrors of Danish colonialists first-hand remain painfully vivid. It was only in the second half of the 20th century that at least three official programs from the Kingdom of Denmark came to light, each of which violated the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in Resolution 260 (III) A on December 9th, 1948. https://europeanconservative.com/articles/commentary/why-greenlands-independence-terrifies-europe/
