Is the FBI SWAT team heading to Indiana?

I requested this be moved to the Russia/Ukraine/Belarusian forum as you might get more responses there. As to your question, unfortunately I am not familiar with the visa agencies in Moscow. Good Luck!

Ideally, you can do the Utah Zoom marriage when you are together next and file the i130 as soon as the marriage certificate is in your hands. Good Luck!

Congrats! Sounds like the NVC stage is next. Good Luck! When your I-130 petition is finally approved, the service center that processed your petition, will send you another Notice of Action letter indicating your approval, and the forwarding of your approved petition to the National Visa Center (NVC) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, along with a phone number to contact the NVC with. Your case will now only be dealt with by the NVC. The service center that you filed with, will have no more knowledge on the status of your petition or case. A few weeks after you have received your last Notice of Action indicating the approval and forwarding of your I-130 application to the NVC, the NVC will send your relative a packet of forms that you and your relative must fill out before your relative can be given an interview date with a consulate abroad. The packet will likely contain instructions to fill out the DS-261 and DS-260 online forms, by the intending immigrant. An I-864 form is also included that must be filled out by the petitioner (living in the US). The I-864 is the Affidavit of Support form that requires copies of the petitioners past 3 U.S tax returns (or tax transcripts which are free from the IRS) as well as any bank or financial records available (see the I-864 for exact requirements based on your case). The petitioner must make at least 125% above the U.S federal poverty to indicate to the U.S government that the intending immigrant will not become a federal charge to the government when he/she arrives in the U.S.. If the petitioner cannot meet these requirements, then he/she must still file an I-864, and find a joint sponsor who can meet the requirements on his/her own. When a joint sponsor is needed ,proof of their U.S citizenship or permanent residency is required. (i.e. copy of birth certificate, immigration status etc). The joint sponsor must be residing in the U.S, and he/she must also submit his/her past 3 years U.S tax returns along with bank or any other financial records available. The joint sponsor must submit his/her own I-864 form to accompany the petitioner's I-864 form.

And you get the IRS watching over you. I am not saying I agree with them, and I believe some of the thinking is based on their home countries like Australia, and ROK and the fact that even if they eventually sign an I407 (as stated earlier, denaturalization or renouncing is very expensive), they can still visit the US if they want.

They have to play politics too, and they tend to give some deference to those that shout the loudest.

I am sorry, but this is starting to sound made up. Does Santos have exclusive rights to edit this Wikipedia page, or could it be edited by someone else?

I know several co-workers that came over on employment based visas and adjusted to an LPR. The majority of them do not plan to naturalize as they do not plan to stay in the US after retirement for various reasons, but mostly because of the cost of healthcare in the US as opposed to the cost in their home countries. As to my wife, she chose to naturalize mostly to be able to vote and for the benefits of holding a US passport as compared to a Russian passport, but she is able to use either.

I really doubt USCIS would pursue any fraud accusations unless something were to be uncovered in either the I751 or N400 applications. I know they wouldn’t mind the extra fee for the N400.

I wasn't referring to you personally, but I think you are right, and at some point in the future we will start seeing posts on how to withdraw their N400 after the combo interview.

That is an interesting strategy.

They used to be a bit easier, and they should be.

I like @Mike E's suggestion, change the format of the EL to a credit card sized card, and maybe put a picture on it.

San Francisco is showing 15.5 months. Good Luck! https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

Just wait, 96 months is probably on the horizon since it is a nice round 10 years.

Don't count on it.

Hmm, kind of surprised they did not go after Shania Twain first. Now Aretha Franklin's song Natural Woman is deemed OFFENSIVE to trans women: Outrage as 'activists' demand song is removed from Spotify and Apple Music The song A Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin is being bashed by LGBTQ critics as 'offensive,' with one organization in particular saying the tune helps perpetuate harmful anti-trans stereotypes. Released as a single by the late Queen of Soul back in 1967, the stirring love ballad is now facing scrutiny - despite preaching positive messages in regards to women and femininity in general. Leading the charge to have the song nixed is the Norway-based Trans Cultural Mindfulness Alliance (TCMA), a group that started formed earlier this year and has since made its presence known with a series of polarizing posts on social media. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11666981/Now-Aretha-Franklins-song-Natural-Woman-deemed-OFFENSIVE-trans-women.html

Personally, I think it is number 2. I don't really see Kamala saying things off the cuff or even remembering the words of the DoI.

So Kamala and her handlers decided to take a bit of liberty with the Declaration of Independence. Kamala Harris awkwardly admits she is anti-life https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-awkwardly-admits-she-is-anti-life/ar-AA16ECA0

I thought these types were against fossil fuels? After police cleared the area of concern, which included makeshift treehouses, they found explosive devices, gasoline, and road flares.

If they have a relatively simple case with only the delay in filing being an issue, would an attorney be necessary? Aren't overstays of IRs forgiven if they entered legally?

Republicans cannot be non-binary?

So this person was non-binary? What was the name on the ID they were were carrying?

So the title to the thread should be George Santos lied about most things? Sounds like almost every other politician.

Based on our current knowledge of your specific case, it is hard to say if an attorney is needed. You may want to consult with one, or just file the package now, and if you get any RFE's, etc., you can look at getting an attorney then. Good Luck!
