Anyone entering the US on a B2 visa is at the discretion of CBP, six months or even entering is not guaranteed. As others have stated, there is no way around doing the interview at the consulate in Hungary. Good Luck!

I want to make sure I understand, NVC DQ'd you, and your case has been sent to the Consulate? I think you can fill out the DS260 and set up an interview appointment out several months. I am not sure I would delay the DS260 as the Consulate may think the case has stopped and send it back, although I could be wrong. Good Luck!

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!

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/

Drove to Scottsdale, met with friends, ate prime rib, drove home. It was a very nice time.

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!

Was this just a verbal approval at the interview? If so, nothing will happen until CEAC shows "Visa Issued".

If it was me, I would just hold on to it for the interview, or upload it at the NVC stage. Good Luck!

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!

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

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

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!

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

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!

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!

You may consider coming back to the US to file the I90. https://citizenpath.com/green-card-renewal-outside-us/

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!

So to me this is much more general than just the Hamas terror attacks into Israel (if mods feel otherwise, feel free to put this in the Israel thread). It is certainly true, people usually show their true colors. A great example is the racist attitudes of Old Corrupt Joe which shine through all the time. When People Tell You Who They Are, Believe Them On the one hand I think: surely this will be sufficient. Surely this amount of blood will be enough to shake the world awake. Surely no one can equivocate or justify this. As my friend Sarah Haider wrote, “How easy is it to simply condemn targeted violence against civilians? Can there be a lower bar?” And yet, across the world, people have sunk below it. Here you can watch people gathered at the Sydney Opera House cheering “gas the Jews” and “death to the Jews.” People are rejoicing in the slaughter on the streets of Berlin and London and Toronto and New York.

What I do not understand is the three Leftist justices voted in favor of religious rights on the postal worker case released yesterday, but voted against this one released today. Supreme Court rules in favor of Colorado graphic designer who refused to create same-sex wedding websites The U.S. Supreme Court held that a Colorado graphic designer who wants to make wedding websites does not have to create them for same-sex marriages, in a landmark decision that pit the interests of LGBTQ non-discrimination against First Amendment freedom. In a 6-3 decision issued Friday, the high court ruled in favor of artist Lorie Smith, who sued the state over its anti-discrimination law that prohibited businesses providing sales or other accommodations to the public from denying service based on a customer's sexual orientation. Justice Neil Gorsuch authored the majority opinion, which said that, "In this case, Colorado seeks to force an individual to speak in ways that align with its views but defy her conscience about a matter of major significance." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/supreme-court-rules-in-favor-of-colorado-graphic-designer-who-refused-to-create-same-sex-wedding-websites/ar-AA1dg4M7

This AI will most likely be used for the next election. It will get interesting. AI clones teen girl’s voice in $1M kidnapping scam: ‘I’ve got your daughter’ It was a dead “ringer” for her daughter. Artificial intelligence has taken phone scams to a frightening new level. An Arizona mom claims that scammers used AI to clone her daughter’s voice so they could demand a 1$ million dollar ransom from her as part of a terrifying new voice scheme. “I never doubted for one second it was her,” distraught mother Jennifer DeStefano told WKYT while recalling the bone-chilling incident. “That’s the freaky part that really got me to my core.” This bombshell comes amid a rise in “caller ID spoofing” schemes, in which scammers claim they’ve taken the recipient’s relative hostage and will harm them if they aren’t paid a specified amount of money. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/ai-clones-teen-girl-s-voice-in-1m-kidnapping-scam-i-ve-got-your-daughter/ar-AA19LWPF

If the shoe fits. Twitter criticized after labeling NPR as ‘state-affiliated media’ (NewsNation) — NPR president and CEO John Lansing fired back at Twitter on Wednesday morning after the social media platform put a label on the news organization’s profile calling it “state-affiliated media.” NewsNation partner The Hill reports this designation is one Twitter uses for state news agencies such as Russia’s TASS and China’s Xinhua. “NPR and our Member stations are supported by millions of listeners who depend on us for the independent, fact-based journalism we provide,” Lansing wrote in a statement. “NPR stands for freedom of speech and holding the powerful accountable. It is unacceptable for Twitter to label us this way. A vigorous, vibrant free press is essential to the health of our democracy.” https://www.newsnationnow.com/entertainment-news/media/twitter-npr-state-affiliated-media-ceo-responds/

More from the war on CH4. And yes, this agency is headed by the son of the former top manager of the AFL-CFO. U.S. safety agency to consider ban on gas stoves amid health fears A federal agency says a ban on gas stoves is on the table amid rising concern about harmful indoor air pollutants emitted by the appliances. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission plans to take action to address the pollution, which can cause health and respiratory problems. “This is a hidden hazard,” Richard Trumka Jr., an agency commissioner, said in an interview. “Any option is on the table. Products that can’t be made safe can be banned.” https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2023-01-09/us-safety-agency-considers-gas-stove-ban?expandComments=true

Assault on our Republic? Armed suspect accused of violent threats against Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh identified An armed man was arrested near the Maryland home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh Wednesday morning, law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News.

Roske was picked up on a nearby street after calling police on 911 to report himself. He did not get to the Kavanaugh home. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-justice-kavanaugh-home-armed-man-arrested

Scammers are getting more creative. Be careful. 2 Michigan women tricked by convincing, sophisticated Amazon scam: What to know The calls appear to have three steps: The initial caller claims to be from Amazon and tells you there has been a fraudulent purchase on an Amazon account. Then, the conversation quickly turns to reveal that you have bank accounts with four or five well-known names — Wells Fargo, PNC Bank, Bank of America, Chase and others. Maybe that's where you really bank, maybe you don't and will let it slip where you do have accounts. Last, you're told that someone has used your identity to open up a string of bank accounts. A call that began from Amazon somehow ends up with a federal agent on the line to convince you that you'll be arrested soon because you're now suspected of money laundering. The caller might imply that hundreds of thousands of dollars were transferred into questionable accounts opened with your ID information. https://www.freep.com/story/money/personal-finance/susan-tompor/2022/05/19/amazon-scam-money-laundering/9794344002/

Kinds of flying under the radar with all the recent deflections. The baby formula supply problem is getting worse New YorkCNNBusiness — For months stores nationwide have been struggling to stock enough baby formula. Manufacturers say they’re producing at full capacity and making as much formula as they can, but it’s still not enough to meet current demand. The out-of-stock rate for baby formula hovered between 2% and 8% in the first half of 2021, but began rising sharply last July. Between November 2021 and early April 2022, the out-of-stock rate jumped to 31%, data from Datasembly showed. That rate increased another 9 percentage points in just three weeks in April, and now stands at 40%, the statistics show. In six states — Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri, Texas and Tennessee — more than half of baby formula was completely sold out during the week starting April 24, Datasembly said. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/08/business/baby-formula-shortage/index.html
