A little confused. The OP seems to indicate the first petition was filed for the son, and now the new I130 is for the mother (I assume there was no previous petition for the mother). If that is the case, you would indicate the son’s information in Part 5, and the city where you live(d) when you filed the I130 for your son in your mother’s I130. I don’t think the fact that the mother is in the U.S. and planning to AOS is relevant here. Good Luck!

Look at the I864 instructions at the top of page 9 (for some reason, I cannot copy it on my tablet). It explains what to do if the person submitting the I864 (your spouse in this case) is not required to file taxes. He will need to include an explanation as to why and include it with the I864. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-864instr.pdf

Ha ha, I first read it as “desert”, and immediately thought Cosmo Kramer was back designing fragrances. Glad you had a nice Christmas!

Not sure anyone is paying attention, but Germany is having a bit of a difficult time economically. Germany uses the weapon of climate change against its own people The drama kicked off when Germany’s coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz found itself in a bit of a bind recently. Team Scholz had quietly moved €60 billion from a Covid-19 pandemic support fund into a green energy transition fund. The opposition noticed and finked to the court – which told Team Scholz to put the cash back because the sneaky move was a blatant violation of a law that had been ushered in under former Chancellor Angela Merkel specifically in an effort to ensure that the government was never able to bury itself in debt. Whoops, too late. Subsequently finding themselves underwater on the overall annual budget by an estimated €17 billion, they set about looking for ways to plug the hole. Farmers, Team Scholz apparently figured, can at least be bilked for cash on the pretext that the government tax subsidies for the sinful diesel fuel that powers their equipment deserve to be canceled – sacrificed on the altar of climate change. It all sounds so virtuous, and not at all like scrambling to compensate for a major screwup. https://www.rt.com/news/589653-germany-berlin-climate-farmers/

Muslim ban? Seems TDS is strong in you.

Glock 17 from my wife, a nice coat, and some ear protections, case, and cleaning kit for the aforementioned Glock. I got my wife a Roomba, some nice socks, gloves, and her favorite fragrance and skin care products. Merry Christmas!

Hoping everyone has a nice wonderful Christmas!

What step in the process are you in? The title indicates AOS, but you mentioned sending the I129F in the OP?

Hard to say since this was an F4. I130’s at NVC can be kept open indefinitely as long as they are touched once a year at NVC, but I am not sure of those that are collecting dust at USCIS.

Might be a case for an immigration attorney. “Undocumented” usually means the person entered the U.S. without inspection which can further complicate any cases.

To the best of my knowledge you can ignore the I751 reminder letter, and just keep getting ADIT stamps until USCIS works out the I90. Your wife deserves a 10 yr GC based on your story. If for some reason the I90 is denied, I am not sure if that is something that can be appealed. Good Luck!

As @Lil bear stated, it is possible they would reuse biometrics from your wife’s and step-daughter’s AOS for the ROC and/or the REP, but it is not guaranteed. The point is they will need to remain in the U.S. after submitting the I131 until the biometrics for that application is fulfilled. Hopefully that will just be 2-4 weeks after submitting the I131, and if they are called for biometrics for both, they can take both notices to the office and hopefully USCIS will do them both at the same time. Good Luck!

I truly wish there was accountability for the elite in DC, and the elite in general.

Yes, this is what I thought as I have been through those internal checkpoints. The I94 from the K1 entry shows she is authorized to stay in the US for 90 days. This should suffice for any internal CBP checkpoints assuming you are inside that 90 day window.

Print out the I94 from her K1 entry.

I tend to agree, it is required to file the I131 re-entry permit application from within the U.S., and also fulfill the biometrics (if required) before actually leaving. To @Vabsmith, a slight amendment to my suggestion, get the I751 in process when their window opens, and then get the I131 filled out. Then come back to the U.S. for I751 biometrics and submit the I131 immediately upon return. Hopefully, the NOA for the I131 will show up very soon after.

You are right, I meant to say DS260, and yes, if her residency changed since the DS260 was filled out, she should disclose it.

Welcome! Immigration can indeed be daunting, and many folks use a lawyer or a service to assist. Regardless of if you do it yourself, or use a lawyer or service, the petitioner (you), and the beneficiary (your fiancé) needs to be well educated in the process as lawyers and services require you both to provide the material and evidence needed for the petition and eventual visa application. It is also a good idea for the couple to scrutinize any form or submission that will be submitted in their name. In the end, it is the couple’s choice on how to proceed. @TBoneTX already provided a good comparison between the K1 and spousal visa (CR1/IR1), so I will not repeat that. You need to decide what is most important and see which one fits you best. Good Luck!

To my knowledge this will not impact the interview location unless you actually requested the change of consulates. She will have to disclose the additional residency when she fills out the DS160 or at the interview and if she is there for more than six months, I believe she will need a police report from that third country. Good Luck!

So a gun control group does not feel it needs to bey the gun control laws? San Juan sheriff initiates investigation into New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence buybacks in Farmington Dec. 18—The San Juan County Sheriff's Office is investigating whether a Santa Fe-based gun violence prevention organization violated a state law on firearms transactions — raising questions about the legality of the group's gun buyback program that for years has received accolades. New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence had championed a bill creating the law, which requires background checks for most private firearms transactions. "I don't have anything against the New Mexicans [to Prevent] Gun Violence folks," San Juan County Sheriff Shane Ferrari said Monday. "I just need to make sure they're operating lawfully like everyone else," added the sheriff, who said he personally doesn't believe gun buybacks curb crime. https://www.aol.com/san-juan-sheriff-initiates-investigation-043300056.html

Suicides scheduled? Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Giuffre taunts 'there's going to be a lot of nervous people...who's on the naughty list?' after judge rules 170 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein can be named in court Prince Andrew's accuser Virginia Giuffre has welcomed a judge's ruling that 170 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein are set to be unmasked, as she taunted his associates by asking 'who's on the naughty list?' It comes after DailyMail.com revealed that dozens of Epstein's high profile associates can be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024. Giuffre, nee Roberts, who claims she was trafficked by Epstein and had sex with Prince Andrew aged 17, was triumphant in her bid to get a dossier containing the names of the disgraced financier's associates and victims unsealed. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12886017/Prince-Andrew-sex-accuser-Virginia-Giuffre-nervous-people-naughty-list-judge-rules-170-people-linked-Jeffrey-Epstein-named.html

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/
