Yes, the GC fee is required for DVs.

Don’t most of the illegal aliens prefer to be in sanctuary locales?

What a joke. Does anyone really believe this person did this because they were one of the many “pride” flags, or was it just a conveniently available cloth to provide some level of personal hygiene?

That is a tough one since she has no physical GC. If she had a valid physical GC, she could probably board a plane and come back and deal with any tough questions by CBP. I don’t think an SB-1 is an option, but you can research that. Not sure if she can file an I90 to get a replacement card. Maybe @Mike E can weigh in.

I agree with @Boiler, if she just wants to come for a visit, the I407 to abandon the GC and B2 application seems to be the best course. If she was planning on coming back to the US permanently, it would be a different story.

Unfortunately for the Chinese descendants, they are not a solid base of support for the Democrat Party.

Kind of the elephant in the room. The Asians in CA may not reject it, they may want theirs. Asian Americans, many of whose ancestors did suffer hideous discrimination in California, and who outnumber blacks in the state, are particularly likely to angrily reject the idea.

For an hour.

Hiring a lawyer or a visa service is a personal decision. Simple cases are very easy to do it yourself. I would suggest having your husband join VJ as the ball will be in his court at this point. Good Luck!

Shouldn’t. Back in 2019, our cousins came over on DV visas, they checked the box, but after about 3 weeks of being here and getting their physical GCs, the SSN had not arrived, so we went down to the SSA and they applied. They got their SSN about two weeks later.

Probably best to have the I864A. Good Luck!

This is what my wife did. She answered no, but brought up a minor traffic ticket to the IO and also had copies of the citation in case the IO asked for it, the IO did not. Good Luck!

Yes, you need the SSN before they can put you on payroll. A few days after you enter the US go to the SSA office and apply for an SSN with your stamped passport and a copy of your I94. It is usually faster. Good Luck!

Just a bit over the top.

Kind of explains why some counties are preparing. NYC Mayor Adams plan buses migrants past county with 'immigrant protection' law to Republican-led counties https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyc-mayor-adams-plan-buses-migrants-past-county-immigrant-protection-law-republican-led-counties

Probably high. (I know, a repeat, but still appropriate).

I tend to agree, Congress needs to release what they have, and not play the Adam Schiff game of promising the moon and supplying nothing. Where are the tax returns from all these LLCs and the Biden family?

What else is new. There are many factors driving a reduction in recruitment, and in my mind, if I were a teenager considering enlistment I would take a long hard look at our current commander-in-chief and think twice.

Processing times for the I601 is over two years. You have a valid NOA showing receipt, now it is a waiting game. Good Luck! https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Let us know what happens.

I would not worry about this too much at the NVC stage. IR1s and CR1s are treated the same at this point. You can discuss this with the CO at the interview, and I expect your visa will actually be issued as a CR1. Good Luck!

What in CA is bipartisan? Also curious how a Democrat one-party state is putting up barriers to vote for minorities?

Yes, many folks do not realize that when they file for AOS it comes with documentation showing they are authorized to stay. I know when we traveled when my wife was in the AOS process we kept the AOS with us just in case. Then of course there are others that did not file AOS within the 90 days of a K1 wedding, and ran into an unexpected headache.

I thought those that claim to drive in the Left ditch were supposed to be tolerant? It is interesting what they named their group. Virginia parents harassed, threatened for speaking out, opposing LGBT teaching in schools: ‘I would shoot him’ Some of the angry and threatening comments in the "Loudoun Love Warriors" group included ones like these, according to WJLA. "Lives needs to be ruined beyond repair," read one comment. "Lets actually destroy them. Grind them," another person wrote. "If he had said that s--- about black kids or autistic kids I would shoot him," someone else posted in the group. https://www.foxnews.com/media/virginia-parents-harassed-threatened-speaking-out-opposing-lgbt-teaching-schools-i-would-shoot-him

So everyone was protecting Old Corrupt Joe and Dr. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden.
