  1. Happy Veteran’s Day to all those that have served.
  2. If available, probably best to get the IRS transcript. I would also take a copy of the package you submitted, and any other marital comingling evidence you have since submitting your package. I also remember the IO in our case being quite interested in photos from our wedding. Good Luck!
  3. Yes, if you do not have 2020, you are fine as the tax material is not required for you to submit the N400, and you can add 2023 later in the process or at the interview.
  4. Yes, assuming you are the beneficiary.
  5. Sounds like you have a day and a half to find an approved civil surgeon, do the medical exam, and get the results.
  6. What doesn't make sense, especially for a bus, is I would think the failsafe for any bus that lost power (be it EV or ICE), the brakes should revert to fully on, and the parking brake should engage. I know in my firefighting days, if one of our trucks lost air pressure, the brakes locked up.
  7. I hear a lot of pondering from the neocon pundits that Russia, and more specifically Putin, is intent to re-establish the USSR. Although this might be the case, I am not really sure that it is. Ukraine has always been a redline for Moscow as NATO expanded into Eastern Europe, and unlike a lot of US politicians, Russia tends to defend its redlines. Russia/Putin know they cannot take on NATO, so I really don't see them going into the Baltics, or Poland, or Romania. Time will tell of course, but IMo, I think this is all about Ukraine, and especially how the West has handled it since the early 90's. Is this the beginning of the end of the war in Ukraine? Zelensky’s struggle with his generals intensified on November 3 when Zelensky fired General Viktor Khorenko, the commander of Ukraine’s special operations forces. The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, General Valery Zaluzhny, did not request his dismissal. The New York Times reports that “It was unclear whether General Zaluzhny, the overall commander of Ukraine’s forces, knew in advance of the planned dismissal” and that “[t]he firing appeared to undercut General Zaluzhny’s authority.” The firing took U.S. military officers, who “described a close and effective working relationship with” Khorenko, by surprise. Khorenko’s special operations forces had had some success with long-range strikes and sabotage operations behind Russian lines. But the NYT reports that there had been tension over what the military had “perceived as politically guided decisions on strategy” that had been ineffective and costly. Zelensky’s tensions with his generals reached a peak with Zaluzhny’s November 1 interview with The Economist. He asserted that the war had reached a “stalemate.” He conceded that “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.” What’s worse is that Zaluzhny implied that the stalemate would evolve into defeat for Ukraine. A stalemate entails a long war of attrition. In a companion essay published simultaneously by The Economist, he explained that a long war “as a rule, in most cases, is beneficial to one of the parties to the conflict. In our particular case, it is the russian [sic] federation, as it gives it the opportunity to reconstitute and build up its military power.” Zaluzhny said that in a prolonged war, Ukraine will run out of the “required volume” of missiles and ammunition while Russia, despite sanctions, is increasing its production capabilities. And even if it didn’t run out of weapons, he added, it will run out of men: a war of attrition “leads to the lack of Ukraine's ability to achieve superiority over the enemy in reserves by increasing their number.” A close Zelensky aide told TIME that, even if the United States gave Ukraine all the weapons it needed, Kyiv doesn’t “have the men to use them.” https://responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-talks-russians/
  8. I went back and compared it to the one my wife and I filed which was c. 2017, and I could not find a difference. To the OP, as @OldUser pointed out, the I751 does not have a section asking for employment history, but if you have an error, and are called in for an interview (possible if filing the N400 soon), you will have a chance to correct anything that is wrong on the form. You also may want to be much more careful with this particular attorney. Good Luck!
  9. Great catch. It is also interesting that the I751 form has not been updated in 4+ years. Really let’s you know how much priority USCIS gives to it.
  10. Technically, I think in this case your wife is the sponsor as she petitioned her mother, and is required to submit an I864 as the primary sponsor, but with joint income it is more interesting as on the I864 she could show zero income or whatever the combined income is which I tend to think is correct as it would reflect what will be shown on the tax transcripts she would submit with the I864. It is confusing, but in this case, if it were me, I would fill out an I864A to go along with my wife's I864 as we have seen many consulates request the I864A when the sponsor or joint sponsor is married and they file taxes jointly. So I am in the camp that you would be a household member, and not a joint sponsor. Good Luck!
  11. Seems to be summed up pretty well. Sorry, Obama: 'We' Aren't Complicit. It's You Who Has Blood on Your Hands | Opinion Maybe we can finally see Obama for what he truly is: The man who set the world on fire. https://www.newsweek.com/sorry-obama-we-arent-complicit-its-you-who-has-blood-your-hands-opinion-1841012
  12. So she is adjusting status and you already submitted the I130. In that case you need to submit the I485, I864, and it is recommended you also include the I765 and I131 with copies of the notice you received from the I130 filing. You should reference the linked guide. Good Luck! I am assuming the OP is referring to the I864 as like you, I have never heard of a form 213A. I-864, Affidavit of Support Under Section 213A of the INA
  13. You only need to submit the I130 at this point (I assume your mother is outside the US right now). When USCIS approves the petition and sends it to NVC to be routed to the proper consulate, you will need to submit an I864.
  14. Get a police report regarding the lost GC, file the I90, and then contact USCIS to get an I551 ADIT stamp so she has proof of her LPR status. Good Luck!
  15. Makes a lot of sense. Kind of a passive invasion I suppose. Why Do Young Americans Support Hamas? Look at TikTok. If you doubt that the CCP would introduce bias—against Israel, against Jews, against the West, or anything else—into apps under its de facto control, consider that on October 31 The Wall Street Journal reported that Chinese web platforms Baidu and Alibaba have wiped Israel off the map—literally. The two most widely used mapping programs in China show the outlines of Israel’s territory but do not label it as Israel, and may not have for some time. We know for a fact that the CCP uses TikTok to push its propaganda and censor views that diverge from the party line. Reports have confirmed that TikTok spied on journalists who wrote negative stories about TikTok. Via TikTok, Chinese state media pushed divisive information about U.S. politicians ahead of midterm elections. Numerous reports have found TikTok censoring and suppressing content about Xinjiang, Tibet, Tiananmen Square, and other issues sensitive to the CCP. TikTok has also suppressed content about LGBT issues, and even temporarily blocked a teenage American Muslim activist who criticized the CCP’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims. https://www.thefp.com/p/tik-tok-young-americans-hamas-mike-gallag
  16. Hmm, so tolerant the Left. I’m a Jew at ‘The Guardian.’ I Don’t Feel Safe at Work. https://www.thefp.com/p/jew-at-the-guardian-dont-feel-safe
  17. This is absolutely amazing to me, and most of it seems to be coming from the Left. So is this another great coming out of the closet moment for Leftist?
  18. Not sure anyone here can say definitively. Feel free though to contact ICE (You can contact ICE via email at Immigration.Reply@dhs.gov or you can telephone ICE at 1-866-347-2423. ) as they would make the ultimate decision, but I would not hold my breath. I also agree with @Boiler, you need to discuss this with your divorce lawyer. Good Luck!
  19. I agree with @pushbrk. Have the spouse fill out the I864A as it is better to have it in case the CO asks for it. Good Luck!
  20. The daughter over 21 and now unmarried (widowed) should fall under F1 category which allows derivatives, so the mother only needs to file for the daughter.
  21. As @appleblossom, and @Pinkrlion mentioned, yes, the mother can file an I130, but your OP seems to ask if they can AOS. This is not possible for someone in the F1 class (unmarried child of USC) cannot AOS since that visa class is not current according to the Visa Bulletin (around 8-10 years for a visa if the I130 is filed now). Good Luck!
  22. If you do find a position in the US and need to relocate fairly quickly, you may request the consulate in Ireland process an I130 petition for your spouse. This is referred to as Direct Consulate Filing (DCF), and there is no guarantee the consulate will accept it, but it possible as a job relocation falls under the exceptional circumstance the consulate may consider and it is the fastest way to get your spouse a GC for someone in your situation. If you file an I130 with USCIS, then the consulate is not supposed accept a DCF. Good Luck! Sorry, read the rest of your post and it seems you are familiar with DCF. Personally, I would look at that option closely. Search DCF Dublin, etc.
  23. Generally you would take relationship evidence since the wedding. With a K1 going through AOS, it may not be a lot. Good Luck!
  24. Wait, this is Canada where someone can go to prison for misgendering another that simply chooses a different gender that day. If one can identify their genders fluidly, why not their race or ethnicity?
  25. Great to hear your success, and thanks for the comprehensive post. This can be very helpful to others in a similar circumstance. Good Luck!
