Just remind your friend that even if using an immigration attorney, she and her soon-to-be spouse need to stay very close to the process, and scrutinize any forms they need to sign. There are many stories where petitioners and beneficiaries have attorneys (or more likely clerks or paralegals) that make mistakes. Good Luck!

It can be, but most will file the I130 online since it is more convenient than filling out and printing the I130 forms. What can be done is submit the I130 online, then once the receipt NOA is received, that can be copied and sent with the I485 package. Here is a fairly recent thread outlining it. If they do want to fill out the I130 separately, then they can be sent together. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/uscis-lockbox-filing-locations-chart-for-certain-family-based-forms

If she does decide to adjust status via the I130/I485 process, her and her spouse should do everything they can to submit that as soon as possible. Overstays are forgiven for immediate relatives, but as @Crazy Cat stated, once her authorized stay expries, she is deportable until she receives the I485 acceptance NOA. Good Luck!

No extension possible as I assume she entered via VWP/ESTA. Beyond that, @Crazy Cat gave the best advice if that works out for your friend. If not working or traveling internationally for 8+ months is not an option for your friend, then they can also proceed with consular processing for an eventual spousal visa. Good Luck!

Why is it that Pro-Israel rallies are so peaceful, and the Pro-Hamas rallies are so violent?

Except those in government want the illusion of power, hence we get this current mess.

No one in DC is worthy of being anyone’s hero. What DC needs is some serious accountability for all, and not just he person.

I think it has more to do with a serious case of TDS. All politicians, appointees, and bureaucrats lie. That you accept some and not others is on you.

I agree, current income is the most important. Good Luck!

Hmm, so a very busy freeway in the LA area will be completely closed for several weeks due to a fire deliberately set in a homeless encampment. Gotta love Democrat run cities. Fire that Shut Down I-10 Freeway Started Near LA Homeless Encampments https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fire-that-shut-down-i-10-freeway-started-near-la-homeless-encampments/ar-AA1jRW8n

Posted this mainly due to the comment made. It seems clear that governments are clearly moving more toward socialism/central planning which of course is a failure and absolutely insane (remember Einstein's quote). The Democrats are the worst at it at least in the US, but the GOP is not far behind. Automakers hitting brakes on electric vehicles for all John Mozena, who has decades of experience in the automotive and battery industries and is the president of the Center for Economic Accountability, said this is a “great example” of central planning. “This is a great example of what happens when government central economic planning runs face-first into the real world of consumers having inconvenient opinions and making actual decisions," Mozena wrote in an email to The Center Square. "At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many EVs automakers build. Rather, it matters how many EVs consumers want to buy and drive.” https://www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/article_676d4aa8-7d61-11ee-86d3-a3f3e83dd80c.html

Chickens coming home to roost? Wind power industry in moment of reckoning as stocks fall and earnings crumble With the world trying to transition at pace toward cleaner energy, equipment manufacturers are struggling to keep up with soaring global demand, leading to rising production costs and questions over the economic sustainability of large-scale projects from the industry’s major players. Manufacturing faults, most notably at Siemens Energy’s wind turbine subsidiary Siemens Gamesa, have emerged as companies race to build turbines at a greater pace and scale. The problems at Gamesa led Siemens Energy to scrap its profit forecast earlier this year, and last month the company sought guarantees of up to 15 billion euros ($16 billion) from the German government. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/13/wind-power-industry-in-moment-of-reckoning-as-stocks-fall.html

So essentially Barry was saying Trump was getting corrupted by the DC culture. I think we hear that all the time. How many idealistic politicians are utterly corrupted by DC?

You may want to ask a moderator to move this question to the Vietnam specific regional forum by hitting the "Report" button, and requesting that. Fundamentally, the Utah Online marriage certificate should be acceptable by the consulate in Vietnam. I could not find anything that says otherwise, but I am not completely familiar with marriage culture in Vietnam. Good Luck!

Go to his member profile page, he explains it there.

I like the idea of eliminating the option to adjust from a B2/ESTA. Maybe eliminating the ESTA altogether or at least for countries where overstays are rampant.

In my opinion, attempting a B2 carries more risk than reward. As others have said, the bar is high for those applying for a B2 from a VWP country, and the risk is losing that VWP privilege if the B2 is denied. As to deriving citizenship, I agree with the others, I would consult a U.S. immigration lawyer as those laws are complex, and have changed over time. Good Luck!

Happy Veteran’s Day to all those that have served.

If available, probably best to get the IRS transcript. I would also take a copy of the package you submitted, and any other marital comingling evidence you have since submitting your package. I also remember the IO in our case being quite interested in photos from our wedding. Good Luck!

Yes, if you do not have 2020, you are fine as the tax material is not required for you to submit the N400, and you can add 2023 later in the process or at the interview.

Yes, assuming you are the beneficiary.

Sounds like you have a day and a half to find an approved civil surgeon, do the medical exam, and get the results.

What doesn't make sense, especially for a bus, is I would think the failsafe for any bus that lost power (be it EV or ICE), the brakes should revert to fully on, and the parking brake should engage. I know in my firefighting days, if one of our trucks lost air pressure, the brakes locked up.

I hear a lot of pondering from the neocon pundits that Russia, and more specifically Putin, is intent to re-establish the USSR. Although this might be the case, I am not really sure that it is. Ukraine has always been a redline for Moscow as NATO expanded into Eastern Europe, and unlike a lot of US politicians, Russia tends to defend its redlines. Russia/Putin know they cannot take on NATO, so I really don't see them going into the Baltics, or Poland, or Romania. Time will tell of course, but IMo, I think this is all about Ukraine, and especially how the West has handled it since the early 90's. Is this the beginning of the end of the war in Ukraine? Zelensky’s struggle with his generals intensified on November 3 when Zelensky fired General Viktor Khorenko, the commander of Ukraine’s special operations forces. The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, General Valery Zaluzhny, did not request his dismissal. The New York Times reports that “It was unclear whether General Zaluzhny, the overall commander of Ukraine’s forces, knew in advance of the planned dismissal” and that “[t]he firing appeared to undercut General Zaluzhny’s authority.” The firing took U.S. military officers, who “described a close and effective working relationship with” Khorenko, by surprise. Khorenko’s special operations forces had had some success with long-range strikes and sabotage operations behind Russian lines. But the NYT reports that there had been tension over what the military had “perceived as politically guided decisions on strategy” that had been ineffective and costly. Zelensky’s tensions with his generals reached a peak with Zaluzhny’s November 1 interview with The Economist. He asserted that the war had reached a “stalemate.” He conceded that “There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.” What’s worse is that Zaluzhny implied that the stalemate would evolve into defeat for Ukraine. A stalemate entails a long war of attrition. In a companion essay published simultaneously by The Economist, he explained that a long war “as a rule, in most cases, is beneficial to one of the parties to the conflict. In our particular case, it is the russian [sic] federation, as it gives it the opportunity to reconstitute and build up its military power.” Zaluzhny said that in a prolonged war, Ukraine will run out of the “required volume” of missiles and ammunition while Russia, despite sanctions, is increasing its production capabilities. And even if it didn’t run out of weapons, he added, it will run out of men: a war of attrition “leads to the lack of Ukraine's ability to achieve superiority over the enemy in reserves by increasing their number.” A close Zelensky aide told TIME that, even if the United States gave Ukraine all the weapons it needed, Kyiv doesn’t “have the men to use them.” https://responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-talks-russians/

I went back and compared it to the one my wife and I filed which was c. 2017, and I could not find a difference. To the OP, as @OldUser pointed out, the I751 does not have a section asking for employment history, but if you have an error, and are called in for an interview (possible if filing the N400 soon), you will have a chance to correct anything that is wrong on the form. You also may want to be much more careful with this particular attorney. Good Luck!
