I agree, current income is the most important. Good Luck! -
HOW LOW CAN BLUE CITIES SINK? [merged threads]
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
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. Fire that Shut Down I-10 Freeway Started Near LA Homeless Encampments https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fire-that-shut-down-i-10-freeway-started-near-la-homeless-encampments/ar-AA1jRW8n -
Posted this mainly due to the comment made. It seems clear that governments are clearly moving more toward socialism/central planning which of course is a failure and absolutely insane (remember Einstein's quote). The Democrats are the worst at it at least in the US, but the GOP is not far behind. Automakers hitting brakes on electric vehicles for all John Mozena, who has decades of experience in the automotive and battery industries and is the president of the Center for Economic Accountability, said this is a “great example” of central planning. “This is a great example of what happens when government central economic planning runs face-first into the real world of consumers having inconvenient opinions and making actual decisions," Mozena wrote in an email to The Center Square. "At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many EVs automakers build. Rather, it matters how many EVs consumers want to buy and drive.” https://www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/article_676d4aa8-7d61-11ee-86d3-a3f3e83dd80c.html

Chickens coming home to roost? Wind power industry in moment of reckoning as stocks fall and earnings crumble With the world trying to transition at pace toward cleaner energy, equipment manufacturers are struggling to keep up with soaring global demand, leading to rising production costs and questions over the economic sustainability of large-scale projects from the industry’s major players. Manufacturing faults, most notably at Siemens Energy’s wind turbine subsidiary Siemens Gamesa, have emerged as companies race to build turbines at a greater pace and scale. The problems at Gamesa led Siemens Energy to scrap its profit forecast earlier this year, and last month the company sought guarantees of up to 15 billion euros ($16 billion) from the German government. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/13/wind-power-industry-in-moment-of-reckoning-as-stocks-fall.html

You may want to ask a moderator to move this question to the Vietnam specific regional forum by hitting the "Report" button, and requesting that. Fundamentally, the Utah Online marriage certificate should be acceptable by the consulate in Vietnam. I could not find anything that says otherwise, but I am not completely familiar with marriage culture in Vietnam. Good Luck!

I have a proposition to help curb NIV overstays
Dashinka replied to Timona's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
I like the idea of eliminating the option to adjust from a B2/ESTA. Maybe eliminating the ESTA altogether or at least for countries where overstays are rampant. -
Best road to visa/green card
Dashinka replied to New beggining's topic in What Visa Do I Need - Family Based Immigration
In my opinion, attempting a B2 carries more risk than reward. As others have said, the bar is high for those applying for a B2 from a VWP country, and the risk is losing that VWP privilege if the B2 is denied. As to deriving citizenship, I agree with the others, I would consult a U.S. immigration lawyer as those laws are complex, and have changed over time. Good Luck! -
Happy Veteran’s Day to all those that have served.

N-400 Tax Requirements
Dashinka replied to Richard Henry's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
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. -

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/

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!

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!

Seems to be summed up pretty well. Sorry, Obama: 'We' Aren't Complicit.

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

Naturalization Application: Lost Green Card
Dashinka replied to Mark M.'s topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
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! -
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
