That pesky olfactory sense!

Good point. There are several countries where a person does not retain their previous citizenship when gaining a new citizenship. I know with my wife, she has to enter Russia on her Russian passport. Sometimes Russian immigration officers request her U.S. passport, but that varies.

I would study the instructions of the I130 closely, particularly the General Requirements beginning on Page 6. At this point, the I130 "Petition" belongs to your USC spouse. The visa application comes later when the petition moves from USCIS to NVC to the consulate. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-130instr.pdf

I tend to agree. With the negative for 2024 tax year, there needs to be solid evidence of the current income. Good Luck!

So you don't enter Germany as a German citizen?

Does that apply to all varieties of tea?

A little more discussion regarding the failures in Spain and Portugal. Has anyone noticed that there is little talk of this widespread grid failure now? https://theempowermentalliance.cmail20.com/t/y-e-curbll-hriudklkur-ju/

1,200 miles without a driver? That is really not a lot.

Another example from this article. To be convicted of a crime, one has to have acted, been caught, and been charged with committing said crime, but the "journalist" here doesn't want to put the onus on the person, but rather garner sympathy for them. "or, in the worst-case scenario, get convicted of a crime, which makes them a priority for removal."

I agree, I would file it with what you have. You can then search for a civil surgeon and try and get the vaccines completed to respond to an RFEs or take with you to the interview. Most civil surgeon's will require an entire new physical exam, but YMMV. Good Luck!

Relatively common, my wife does it all the time. When she was on a GC, travel was booked using her Russian passport, and the GC was used for entering the US. Now with a US passport, travel is booked with that name and she leaves and re-enters the US with that passport only using the Russian passport for entering and leaving Russia, and booking any domestic Russian flights. She always keeps a copy of our marriage certificate with her, but in 10+ years, not a single person in any country has asked to see it. I do agree with @OldUser, if you can change the name on the German passport relatively easily, I would do that. In Russia it is a real pain as it involves needing a court document showing the name change (marriage certificates won't always work), then the national ID (domestic passport) has to be changed prior to changing the name on the external/international passport. It takes on average many weeks for the change on the domestic passport and has to be done in country. Add to that, many things such as property ownership, bank accounts, retirement, etc. are tied to the name on the domestic passport, and all those things have to be changed manually. Gotta love bureaucracy. Good Luck!

This is gender agnostic as they need to check criminal records for all intending immigrants. The beneficiary is required to list all names used (man or woman) so this can be done. With a marriage at least inside the US, either party can choose to change their family/last name.

Pretty much sums it up. I hope more and more people are seeing through the Democrat/Left gaslighting. From One Fake Left-wing Hysteria to the Next For much of April, amid stock downturns, in the classical paranoid style, we were assured by the Wall Street Journal news reporters and the liberal press that Trump had either a) guaranteed an inevitable recession, b) engineered a losing trade war he likely regretted, c) crashed the stock market, d) lost his once majority favorability ratings, e) mostly had a failed first 100 days, or f) all of the above. Some of us thought these diagnoses and prognoses were absurd. How in mediis rebus, during a radical counterrevolution never quite seen before, could anyone issue such bleak predictions? Would these same observers have said the U.S. was doomed to lose World War II after the bleak first five months of mostly failure in the Pacific, or North Africa, after the utter U.S. army disaster at the Kasserine Pass? https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/05/from-one-fake-left-wing-hysteria-to-the-next/

Not if you count Bernie and AOC together and they are pretty much the same thing (ardent socialist mimicking communists).

I need to remember that one. Now here is a guy that knew something about flatulence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Pétomane

So no Baby Ruth? I know, kind of bad.

I agree with @Crazy Cat, since you are changing your last/family name, you can do that at the AOS stage using the marriage certificate regardless if the marriage certificate has a specific name change section. Good Luck!

Yep. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/g-1055?topic_id=99064

He does not have a copy of the DS2035? If his vaccines were complete when he had his medical exam, you should not need a new I693. I would submit the AOS package ASAP without a new medical exam (I693), and see if you can get a copy of the DS-2035 from the location of the medical exam performed in Costa Rica, and if for some reason the DS2035 is marked as "Incomplete", he may be requested to get it completed prior to the finalization of the AOS. Good Luck!

Sounds like they need a place for Maryland Man.

If you file the I130 now, you will need to wait for the acceptance NOA from that filing before filing the I485/I864 and other forms if desired (I765/I131). I would recommend you file everything together. Good Luck!

Moved to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas as OP is in the U.S. planning to AOS.

The I130 can be done separately, more specifically before, or together with the I485 package, but when filing the I485, the I864(s) have to be submitted at the same time. Good Luck!

If your other post is accurate, it appears you are the beneficiary, and were in the U.S. at least in February. What is your current location? As @Crazy Cat stated a spousal visa and Adjustment of Status (AOS) are two different things. If you are still currently in the U.S., then your U.S. citizen spouse and yourself should research the guide below for AOS.
