I agree, you are fine. Good Luck!

Honestly, I have not heard of anyone applying only for a K3 via an I129F. I suppose it is possible, but with the spousal visa route via an I130 being a far superior visa, K3s are all but obsolete.

If she arrives in the U.S. after the 2nd wedding anniversary, she is entitled to a 10 yr GC despite the visa being issued as a CR1. She can remind the CBP officer that the 2nd wedding anniversary has passed, and hopefully that officer will endorse the visa as an IR1, but it is USCIS that issues the GC. If the GC arrives with a 2 yr expiration date, she can file an I90 to get it fixed as USCIS’s expense. Definitely make sure she arrives after the 2nd wedding anniversary so you can avoid the I751. Good Luck!

Spousal visas (CR1/IR1) are generally processed at the consulate in the country the beneficiary spouse is living legally. If it is a country where the U.S. does not have a consulate, then there will be other options. Many folks file the I129F after filing the I130 in hopes of speeding up the process, but you are correct, K3s are rarely processed. Regardless, in either case, the step are the same, the U.S. citizen files a petition, USCIS processes it. When the petition is approved, it moves to the NVC which will require the USC petitioner to upload supporting documents. Then NVC routes the petition to the proper consulate and the beneficiary schedules a medical exam, and a visa interview. This may help. Good Luck!

Yes, it is the F1 category. For you, you will be F11 as the primary beneficiary, and I believe your child will be F12.

Unless your country is Mexico or the Philippines, the F1 priority date is January of 2015. F1 seems more advantageous for you as it allows for derivatives whereas the IR2 does not. Good Luck! https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/Bulletins/visabulletin_December2023.pdf

Yes, file the I865, and if CBP asks, your husband can answer with the new address. Your husband can also file an AR-11 once he arrives and settles in. Good Luck!

Thanks for explaining that, and it is good to know if I ever get back to NYS. Interesting side story along my fire department time. It was drilled into us when driving one of our trucks that we would always stop for a school bus with its lights activated even if we were responding to an emergency. Our chief and his bosses never wanted to see a scene with a fire truck hurting or killing a child which makes sense. Mostly though, bus drivers would see the emergency vehicle responding, and would do like most drivers, pull to the side of the road and yield.

We did not have to sign for the GC, but I agree, the mail cannot be forwarded. Good Luck!

No. Chances are you will not even get a ticket for the moving violation. Similar story, I was a firefighter for several years, and here in MI there is a law that says you must move over, or yield for any emergency vehicle that is responding with lights and sirens active. The problem is that an ambulance, police car, or fire truck is not going to try and make a traffic stop while they are responding to an emergency situation if someone does not yield. Now there is always the chance a police officer may be nearby when an ambulance or fire truck are in emergency mode, but those chances are slim. Like I said earlier, I doubt you will ever see a ticket, but even if you do, it is not a deportable/loss of LPR status type of thing. Good Luck!

Does he really have any options? Not getting into the relationship aspect at this point as it is not really any of our business, but if he is still legally married and not in process of a divorce, he cannot file under a divorce waiver, and he needs to file in the next 60 days.

As long as you file within the 90 day window you are fine if applying as a married couple (those that are divorced can submit the I751 anytime). Since you are not divorced, or in process of divorcing, you can file as married, but as others have said, it will be a tough climb to prove a bonafide marriage if that is still the case at the interview. The good news is it takes USCIS 2-4 years to process the I751, so make sure you file within your window, and then you can focus on your marriage and see where that goes. If repaired, great, if a divorce, you can change the I751 to a divorce waiver. Good Luck!

Yes, if you get divorced, you would need to change your I751 to a divorce waiver. Overall, not much you can do about anything right now other than to get the address change (AR-11) taken care of. If you believe the relationship is repairable, focus on that, as if and when you have an interview, it will be tough proving a bonafide marriage if living separately. Good Luck!

Not sure I would freak out. I assume no one was injured. I don't think you will be getting a ticket although one is warranted (might be state dependent). If you do receive a ticket it will be a moving violation that you will need to take care of, but it will not jeopardize your LPR status. Learn from your mistake, and don't do it again. Good Luck!

So you are in the process of divorcing?

It sounds like you are only at the I130 filing stage. You do not need anything more than the marriage certificate for that. You can start to build your marriage and gather evidence as the I130 processes, and when the NVC stage and the interview comes around, upload it and/or take it to the interview where the bonafides of the marriage will be determined. You can add affidavits at that point,, but again, poor evidence as they are just opinions of others, but you can include them. Good Luck!

Overall, affidavits are a last resort from an evidence standpoint. Depending on how strong your primary evidence is, I probably wouldn't bother with them. However if using them, 2-3 should be sufficient, and they should be notarized. Good Luck!

It is a good start to study the AOS process very closely. Fill out the forms (I485/I765/I131/I864), double and triple check everything you put on the forms, and make copies of everything you submit to USCIS. Send in the package as soon as you have all the required evidence. You can bring more relationship/marriage evidence to the interview. Good Luck!

I believe this depends on whether or not the company you work for is willing to sponsor you for a transfer from an L1B (I assume this is your status based on your OP) to an EB2 immigrant visa. https://www.nnuimmigration.com/l1-visa-to-green-card/

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/
