  1. More than likely, you will need the amended I90 notice if for some reason your card is not corrected before it shows expired. The other thing you can do about a month prior to the expiration of the card is request an ADIT stamp in your passport so you have a continued LPR proof of status. Good Luck!
  2. Although Ukraine has taken a back seat to the ME conflict, things do not look very promising for a complete Ukraine victory. I do wonder when Zelenskyy will start requesting troops. Is it worse than 'stalemate' in Ukraine right now? George Beebe, Director of Grand Strategy at QI, highlighted the perils of extrapolating a “stalemate” from the current lack of significant battlefield movements in Ukraine. “Those who believe this war has settled into a long-term stalemate make the mistake of measuring the relative progress of each side with maps. They see that the frontlines have not moved significantly over the last year and conclude that the sides are stalemated,” Beebe told me. “But other metrics, though, paint a different picture. Ukraine is using up its quite limited supplies of men, weapons, and ammunition, and the West cannot provide what Ukraine needs. That is not a formula for stalemate; it's a formula for Ukraine's eventual collapse or capitulation,” he continued. A purely cartographical view of the Ukraine war neglects key military factors, including differentials in manpower and resources, attrition rates, and logistics challenges, that many experts say are not unfolding in Ukraine’s favor. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-war-stalemate-2666354627/
  3. Drove to Scottsdale, met with friends, ate prime rib, drove home. It was a very nice time.
  4. When your wife arrives in the US with a valid spousal visa, she will receive a temporary GC via the endorsement stamp in her passport. She can turn around and go back the same day if she wishes as she will be a US LPR. Good Luck!
  5. Was this just a verbal approval at the interview? If so, nothing will happen until CEAC shows "Visa Issued".
  6. If it was me, I would just hold on to it for the interview, or upload it at the NVC stage. Good Luck!
  7. How long ago was the I130 filed? What stage are you at (USCIS, NVC, Consulate)? I probably would just add it to the documents/photos you plan to take with you to the interview when that time comes. Good Luck!
  8. Many people travel using an expired 2yr GC and the extension letter, but the person filing the I751 needs to be in the US for the biometrics appointment if required. Given your situation, it might be cheaper in the long run to file the I407 (no fee), and then file a new I130 now since you plan to repatriate in 2 years (what @Lil bear suggested). This would allow you to forget the I751 filing (will receive a 10 yr GC with a new I130 filing), and no need to make multiple trips back to the US to maintain LPR status. You can delay the new spousal visa at the NVC stage until you are closer to the point you plan to return. Overall, it seems this would be less worry, and you can look at the N400 after that. Good Luck! Yes
  9. I am so sorry for your loss. You can try for an expedite via an emergency request. Good Luck, and again, so sorry for your loss. https://www.ustraveldocs.com/Emergency apps tutorial.pdf
  10. You can list different addresses for mailing and physical, but with a temporary physical address as you described, I am not sure I would list it. There is no online option for the I134, but I would make sure to retain copies of anything she takes to the interview. Good Luck!
  11. Hmm, who would have thought CO2 was plant food, and climate models are wrong. Global Warming Delayed, Who Could Have Guessed? Plants will absorb 20 per cent more carbon dioxide than predicted by the end of the century, a new study has found, suggesting climate models are overestimating how fast the planet will warm. Trinity College Dublin said its research painted an “uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet” after finding models had failed to take into account all the elements of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, green plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide, water and minerals into the sugars they need for growth. Scientists thought climate change could weaken the process, but the new research suggests plants can adjust to the temperatures, efficiently absorbing carbon dioxide, producing extra nutrients, and continuing to thrive. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/11/20/global-warming-delayed-who-could-have-guessed-n593374
  12. I agree with @Boiler, if not too much of a financial burden, file the I130, and in 18-24 months look at the situation. If she has no desire to relocate permanently to the US, let the I130 lapse, and let her keep her B2 for visiting. If she wishes to relocate, then continue with the IR5. We did this for my adult stepson as we have no idea what the situation will be in 15+ years. Good Luck!
  13. In that case why aren’t your husband’s company lawyers handling your case. I work for a large multinational that regularly handles immigration and expatriate tax issues for employees and their spouses/children. Anyway, I agree with others, file the I90 on your own, and then if biometrics are required come back for them. Good Luck!
  14. You may consider coming back to the US to file the I90. https://citizenpath.com/green-card-renewal-outside-us/
  15. The first step for you is to file the I130. As to the rest, like @Crazy Cat and @D-R-J that depends specifically on your husband’s current location, and situations. Good Luck!
  16. Just remind your friend that even if using an immigration attorney, she and her soon-to-be spouse need to stay very close to the process, and scrutinize any forms they need to sign. There are many stories where petitioners and beneficiaries have attorneys (or more likely clerks or paralegals) that make mistakes. Good Luck!
  17. It can be, but most will file the I130 online since it is more convenient than filling out and printing the I130 forms. What can be done is submit the I130 online, then once the receipt NOA is received, that can be copied and sent with the I485 package. Here is a fairly recent thread outlining it. If they do want to fill out the I130 separately, then they can be sent together. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/uscis-lockbox-filing-locations-chart-for-certain-family-based-forms
  18. If she does decide to adjust status via the I130/I485 process, her and her spouse should do everything they can to submit that as soon as possible. Overstays are forgiven for immediate relatives, but as @Crazy Cat stated, once her authorized stay expries, she is deportable until she receives the I485 acceptance NOA. Good Luck!
  19. No extension possible as I assume she entered via VWP/ESTA. Beyond that, @Crazy Cat gave the best advice if that works out for your friend. If not working or traveling internationally for 8+ months is not an option for your friend, then they can also proceed with consular processing for an eventual spousal visa. Good Luck!
  20. Why is it that Pro-Israel rallies are so peaceful, and the Pro-Hamas rallies are so violent?
  21. Except those in government want the illusion of power, hence we get this current mess.
  22. No one in DC is worthy of being anyone’s hero. What DC needs is some serious accountability for all, and not just he person.
  23. I think it has more to do with a serious case of TDS. All politicians, appointees, and bureaucrats lie. That you accept some and not others is on you.
  24. I agree, current income is the most important. Good Luck!
  25. Hmm, so a very busy freeway in the LA area will be completely closed for several weeks due to a fire deliberately set in a homeless encampment. Gotta love Democrat run cities.
