Switch from i130 Consular to DCF?
Dashinka replied to LBP14's topic in Direct Consular Filing (DCF) General Discussion
Attempting to switch from an existing I130 to DCF could be very risky. As you mentioned, you would have to cancel the exiting I130 first, then hope the Consulate accepts a DCF filing. They may with your job repatriation requirements, but they will be able to see your I130 was recently canceled and may view it as an end-around attempt. It is entirely up to you, but you could contact the citizens services portion of the US Consulate and see what they say. You can also attempt an expedite through USCIS as a need to repatriate as a USC should at least be considered for an I130 expedite. Good Luck! -
Or listen to the strange rhetoric at least by the Democrats leadership. I really don’t think ICE or CBP agents will be indiscriminately killing people while checking IDs or watching an exit point to make sure no one bypasses security. I would say that these agents are already in place at least in airports that serve as a major PoE. Not sure about those smaller airports that call themselves “International”, but are not regularly staffed with CBP/ICE agents. "The last thing that the American people need is for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances kill them," Jeffries said. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/top-dems-assert-theres-risk-ice-agents-could-kill-travelers-under-trump-airport-plan

How To Commit Democratic Party Suicide

Hmm, Governor's begging is just not a good look. Desperate Hochul begs wealthy New Yorkers to come back — as Mamdani pressures her to hike their taxes ALBANY — Gov. Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy New Yorkers who fled the city to encourage their rich pals to come back and continue padding the Empire State’s lavish public handouts. Hochul made the case against caving to Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s demands that she hike income taxes — by saying she not only wants fat cats to stay in the city, but also by clawing at those who have moved to states with better business climates like Florida. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/desperate-hochul-begs-wealthy-new-yorkers-to-come-back-as-mamdani-pressures-her-to-hike-their-taxes/ar-AA1YVVRh -
Advice Needed on Naturalization
Dashinka replied to Gellen's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I agree, a lawyer consult may be warranted here, but you can naturalize under the 3 yr rule. I do not know how much they probe the VAWA basis for your LPR status, but they will review your complete case history, so they should be aware of it. Honestly, if your goal is naturalization, I would not wait despite the current political environment. Good Luck! https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/when-vawa-green-card-holders-can-apply-us-citizenship-naturalization.html -
It is entirely up to you, but overall the CR1 is generally a better option, not just because of the current political environment, but because the immigrant avoids the AoS process that can vary widely in processing times. It is definitely not crazy to consider switching particularly since the I129F was only filed relatively recently. Good Luck!

I agree with @Crazy Cat and @Lemonslice, go through the AOS as it appears you have solid marital grounds to do that, and then apply for a re-entry permit (I131) prior to going back to France. This gives you a 2yr of maintaining your LPR status in good standing and allow for you to come and go during that time. Then if the decision is still to stay in France permanently, file the I407 and apply for a B2. You will still have to disclose the overstay on ESTA, but you might have strong enough ties to overcome that. Good Luck!

She actually wasn’t too bad as a DHS secretary, it was all the influencer actions and speak that was not a good look. I wonder if this was a deal to get the Congress off its collective rears and fund DHS. I do like Mullins as the new pick, Fetterman already endorsed him. Kristi Noem ousted from Homeland Security post amid recent turmoil Kristi Noem, the former South Dakota congresswoman and governor who has led President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security thus far in his second term, was ousted from her position on Wednesday. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he will nominate Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to replace Noem, effective March 31. "The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’" https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kristi-noem-ousted-from-homeland-security-post-amid-recent-turmoil

Medication prescriptions when moving
Dashinka replied to Turquoise's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
Technically, yes it applies. I realize it is worded more for visitors (B2/ESTA, etc.), but it actually applies to anyone also intending to immigrate. I suspect if you are able to get more than a 90 day supply to bring with you, you should be fine if it is a maintenance medicine, not sure if it is a prescribed narcotic/painkiller. Beyond that, like as @Crazy Cat mentioned, since you are intending to immigrate, you will need to look for a US based Dr. eventually. Good Luck! -

Democrats/left do not care about children. Look what their do with all their "gender affirming" care babble.
