An interesting case. I do wonder what will happen in the EU. Greenpeace’s Dutch Runaround Risks Undermining US-EU Energy Pact Cross-border legal cooperation rests on the fragile but essential principle that sovereign nations will respect each other’s lawful judgments. Without that understanding, the global legal system begins to fracture, commerce stalls, treaties lose meaning, and trust erodes. Now, that principle faces a quiet but consequential test in a courtroom in The Hague. Greenpeace International has filed a lawsuit in The Netherlands to overturn a $660 million US verdict. On Oct. 28, the trial judge reduced the award to $345 million, but it still remains one of the largest awards for interference with infrastructure in US history. A North Dakota jury had found the organization liable for defamation, trespass, and civil conspiracy during its campaign against the Dakota Access Pipeline. If the Dutch courts agree, they could refuse to enforce the US ruling, not only invalidating a duly rendered civil verdict, but also casting doubt on whether European courts will honor US legal decisions at all. The Morton County jury determined that Greenpeace paid outside protestors, coordinated their encampments, and spread false claims about pipeline safety—actions that interfered with construction, escalated costs, and ultimately depressed the stock value of developer Energy Transfer. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchange-insights-and-commentary/greenpeaces-dutch-runaround-risks-undermining-us-eu-energy-pact

Personally, I would just file with a new/updated package. Good Luck!

Should not be an issue. Though you went past the 90 days authorized by the K1 visa, you did eventually complete the process and there is actually no deadline to file the I485 after a K1 marriage. I don't see any issues unless you might be originally from one of the restricted countries.

So back in WWII, if the pilot of dive bomber hit a ship/boat, the other planes had to lay off dropping their bombs on the same ship? I remember in the battle of Midway, the US bombed a couple of damaged cruisers wile retreating from the fight. War Crime?

This will never pass because of this ⬇️. Relinquishing US citizenship is a real pain particularly around taxes, and Congress does not want to make it easier thereby losing that tax source. EFFECT OF ACQUISITION OF FOREIGN CITIZEN6 SHIP.—A citizen of the United States who, after the date 7 of the enactment of this Act, voluntarily acquires foreign 8 citizenship shall be deemed to have relinquished United 9 States citizenship.

Congratulations!

That has been going on for quite some time (way before Trump), so what is different now?

If you have additional evidence as described by the example, it doesn't hurt to include it, or bring it with you to the interview. Good Luck!

As with almost everything YMMV. Of course my memory is fading, but back in 2014/2015 my wife and I had little joint items when we completed the AOS. In our case, she did have a SSN, so we were able to open a bank account, but we decided not to do a joint account, I did add her to my medical/dental/vision insurance since that was relatively easy, but that was about it (no joint utilities, car, etc.). We did take the Will route during her I751 stage, but that was a few years later. No one knows what a USCIS IO will focus on, but comingling a marriage in less than 90 days can be tough, and not everyone does it the same way depending on their station in life at the time. The main point here when someone is at the AOS stage, and considering the current political environment is to file the AOS ASAP with the required evidence. Comingling evidence can be gathered over time while the petition is being processed and taken to the interview.

Not really sure I751s can be paused anymore than they already are, but in the end it does need to be filed according to the rules. Good Luck!

It is completely up to you whether to file the I130 now or wait. Keep in mind, the I130 takes time to process, and no one knows right now how everything associated with the memo will shake out (lawsuits, etc.). I am not sure the memo will pause I130 processing from the listed countries, IMO IV applications will still be processed as the focus seems to be more on refugees, asylum seekers, but I have no inside knowledge of that. Good Luck!

Here is a great thread explaining the WoM. Good Luck!

I forget, which field office is this? Some offices are slower than others. That being said, you could try the CIS Ombudsman if you are outside the processing time. Good Luck! P.S. I reported this and asked a moderator to move this to you original thread as it really is an update to what has already been discussed even though it is a new line of questioning.

I agree with @appleblossom, I would avoid a preclearance airport such as Abu Dhabi, etc. They might also want to consider flying into Toronto or other Canadian airport and crossing by land if that is convenient. Good Luck!

Most likely not necessary assuming the ESTA is in the name of your new passport. That being said, doesn't hurt to have it with you. Good Luck!

I would like to hear more of the story before making any decisions. The articles are clearly biased (the one from the Inquisitir is written very poorly), and they do not tell the entire story. Maybe USCIS found something related to fraud, maybe there is a criminal record in their home countries, who knows. They should receive due process though, and I expect that to happen.

Based on the OP, they are already married, and are dealing with the embassy/consulate relative to a DCF filing for a spousal visa under exceptional circumstances.

I agree, yes, she can go to the US early if needed, and as @Crazy Cat stated, she should make sure she has all documents you may need at the interview (I864). I would add, she may want to come back to Brussels for the interview if that is possible. Good Luck!

She can file a new I751 now with a waiver request to buy more time, but even if an NTA is issued, she will still have that option. As to the OP, the best way he can help his soon to be ex is to move the divorce along as soon as possible.

Yes, if the initial I751 gets denied for failing to answer an RFE, she can file again once the divorce decree is received. Good Luck!

I remember seeing some ceremonies conducted at a baseball game on July 4th with a federal judge, but those usually only had four to six individuals, and not as large a group as I experienced at the ones conducted in the federal courthouse. I suppose other areas do it differently than Detroit, and in Detroit, there is a federal courthouse which of course is not the case everywhere else.

This was news to me as the two ceremonies I attended were conducted by a federal judge. Reading the MSN article, it does not appear that oaths are canceled in upstate NY, but rather they are switching to administrative oath ceremonies that meet the terms of the statute.

Have they stopped issuing visas?

What a waste of time, and wasted CO2 emissions.

Grifters. What else is new.
