Do you have a lease or mortgage for the physical address where you plan on living?

Definitely not the plug-in hybrids. My brother and SIL bought a couple as they drive a lot of miles to their businesses, they are getting rid of them. That being said, split or 2-mode hybrids can be efficient.

A better than a 1 in 5 chance of having trouble at a charging station? That would really bite on a long trip when the vehicle was down to near zero range. Maybe a new business, mobile charging, buy a surplus diesel generator, put it on a diesel flatbed, and go station yourself near a charging station.

Isn't ice made in the freezer?

Who looks while sipping?

That is a good plan. I always recommend taking the interview material to the interview even if it was uploaded during the application.

Makes sense, in my wife's case she filed by paper, so we wanted to minimize the N400 package. And in the case of this thread, it is couples with an I751 in process, so the paper copies of all the marriage interview required evidence is already handy and fairly current. My point is if naturalization is the ultimate goal, and if one can apply under the 3 year rule, I would not hold off 2 more years just so I did not have to take a couple more pages to the interview.

You do? When my wife applied based on the 3 yr. rule, she only had to include a copy of her GC (front and back) and a copy of our marriage certificate (she was not applying from overseas, or as a spouse of a military member or a member of the military herself). There is a list of evidence required to be brought to the interview, but it is the same for the 3yr and 5yr applications except for the section if applying on the basis of a spouse of a USC, and that is essentially the same material sent with the I751 package.

In my old Fire Department, they are still using an International Harvester from the 1950's with no issues being over 70 years old. No craft ice, but you can get shaved ice from the small freezer compartment.

Correct. B&W is fine.

Yes, hadn't thought of that. Oh well, one very minor advantage for the I129F/K1 for countries where it is very difficult to change names in their passports/national ID cards.

Just curios, can they do a name change at the ROC if they are required to file it? I assume they can, since that is filed in the US and is still marriage based.

With the spousal visa it is tough since the visa and subsequent GC will most likely be issued with the name on the Russian international passport. For my wife it was different since she came over on a K1, we married in the US and filed for AOS, so she changed her name then and her GC had her married name. If your wife can change her passports to the new name that would be ideal (I know, difficult in Russia), otherwise it might be best to wait until removal of conditions if she needs to do that or naturalization.

I am going to add this one as well. Of course the story is most EVs will be charged at home, but if that is not an option, costs are increasing. For comparison, 1 gal of gasoline is about equal to 33.7 kwh of energy so at around $3 - $3.1 / gallon (recent price here in MI), that is 10-11 kwh/$1 and the recharge time is ~5 minutes. If using Electrify America without pass, it is about 2 kwh/$1 or with pass about 3 kwh/$1. https://electrek.co/2023/02/03/electrify-america-customers-raise-ev-charging-prices/

Been saying this for years. The one thing that amazed me is the average number of miles driven annually by EVs is only a little more than 5,000. Heck, I do 20k annually now. As electric car sales surge, their benefits are increasingly criticized However, if you live in a state that mostly burns coal for electric power—like Utah, Indiana, or Kentucky—your car’s carbon footprint will approach that of an ICE vehicle. And EVs only reduce emissions if people actually drive them instead of a comparable ICE vehicle. Researcher from the University of Chicago recently concluded tat he typical EV is only driven 5,300 miles per year, ‘about half the US fleet average’.” It appears affluent EV owners use their electric cars when it’s convenient but rely on their conventional cars or trucks for about half their travel. Of course, an EV that mostly sits in a driveway doesn’t do much to bring down emissions. Which is why, as those University of Chicago researchers concluded, “electricity may not be as easily substituted for gasoline as previously thought.” It is also important to consider the environmental impact of the car itself. A typical EV battery pack contains about 25 pounds of lithium, 30 pounds of cobalt, 60 pounds of nickel, 90 pounds of copper, and hundreds of pounds of other materials. All those minerals must be mined, processed (mostly in China), and shipped around the world—which takes energy and creates pollution. Is all that environmental disruption worth it? https://nypost.com/2023/02/11/as-electric-car-sales-surge-their-benefits-are-increasingly-criticized/

For 2022, you need a copy of the return along with the W2(s)/1099(s).

I would not worry about it. My wife traveled like this for four years and had no issues and was never asked for the marriage certificate. I do remember that when re-entering the US, she presented both her GC and her Russian passport, so if the system tracking exits and entries was working properly, it should be fine. We never checked, and when she went through naturalization, I assume they reviewed her entire international travel history then and there were no issues.

Don’t buy a Samsung. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/781335-completely-off-topic-perfect-for-this-forum/ Why does whisky need craft ice?

So it appears the one brought down over Lake Huron was the one they were talking about over Montana last evening. Pentagon reveals unidentified object shot down over Lake Huron by F-16 fighter jet had flown near sensitive US military sites in Montana - and had 'potential surveillance capabilities' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11742875/U-S-military-shoots-unidentified-object-Lake-Huron-three-days.html

Aren’t a great number of House members fairly unknown to most of the country?

It may appear in poor taste, but I really doubt anyone did this on purpose. Also, it was not clear from the story which sign was there first. I assume it was the crematorium, but who really knows and the writer did not tell us. Also, a crematorium does not leave a body in a crispy state, but rather an ash state, so they are not really relevant to each other. Would the complainers also have an issue if the ad were for grilled chicken?

Yes, over Lake Huron. How did it get this far, and was this the one that was recently thought to be over Montana? Seems there is still some fine tuning needed at NORAD to take care of these before they traverse a large portion of the continent.

Did you include the required tax information (transcripts or return copies), or any other evidence (if using assets) that shows you meet the I864 requirements?

This is an issue?

No doubt. So how did NORAD and the US/Canadian military allow it to get this far South?
