Slightly different as my wife came over on a K1, so her visa was in the name on her passport, but when we filed the I485, we used her new marriedname and the GC came in that name. All during the time she was an LPR when she traveled, we bought the tickets in her maiden name to match her Russian passport, she always kept a certified copy of the marriage certificate with her in case anyone asked, but she had no issues. When she naturalized, her US Passport is in her married name, so now we buy tickets using that name, and she only uses her Russian passport when entering Russia, she still keeps the marriage certificate with her. I am not sure if on a spousal visa application you can do the same thing. I expect the maiden/passport name will be on her visa, but I am not sure if you can request her GC to be in her married name. Good Luck!

You should be fine with your GC expiring in March. Enjoy your trip.

I think you should be fine as I doubt you would see a month's travel delay. That being said, hopefully you will get your NOA extending your LPR proof of status, or at the very least (not a preferred strategy) have someone collecting your mail and have the ability to express the letter to you if in fact you run into an issue.

Quite the conundrum.

I would start here. Your USC spouse starts with filing an I130 form. If there is an immediate need for your USC spouse to repatriate you can also research direct consular processing.

Me too, but after work.

Yes, but it should be up to the asylum applicant to provide proof they meet the requirements for asylum. My point is why don't they handle this like the B2, have an IO do a 2 minute interview with the assumption that the asylum claim is false (like the assumption that all B2 applicants plan to stay in the US) unless the asylum applicant has proof otherwise. Why does this have to be processed through an IJ/immigration court?

Hmm, for some reason the MSM is treating today like a 9/11 or Pearl Harbor anniversary, so it must be a special day. I hope everyone has a very nice day!

Seems they are looking to legitimize the border crossers. Why can't asylum claims be treated and processed like B2 applications?

I heard this speech by Old Senile Joe. Pure jibberish.

This seems to touch on this subject. https://www.globalinternships.com/post/j1-visa-2-year-rule

My thoughts are that the risk is too great. Getting a B2 from a VWP country is already fairly difficult especially when the only reason is to stay more than 90 days (which is not guaranteed as it is at the discretion of the CBP officer) which would sound a little fishy to CO evaluating the B2 application. Whatever, it is your choice, but know the risks.

You mean noted election denier Hakim Jeffries. Amazing how the Democrats would elect such a person, a threat to Democracy, to be their leader.

Come on man, mayor Pete is one of our elite leaders, hypocrisy does not apply.

But, but, but, Democracy is at stake and only the lying Democrats can save it Blah, blah, blah.

Since this is the de facto trans activist thread, thought I would post this here. Kind of sad what this mother is doing to such a young child.

Did you tell them to pound sand?

To be fair, this is just a proposal which I am sure will garner quite a bit of negative feedback, so who really knows where it will all end up. Here is what it is showing right now.

How else would USCIS make money to pay for all the free services. Kind of surprised the I-90 fee is not also being raised.

Based on the discussion in the attached thread, it appears yes, there will be fees for the I765 and I131 when filed with the I485. So plan for $2820 for all three plus at least one biometrics fee.

Interesting, probably not unexpected. USCIS Issues Proposed Rule to Adjust Certain Immigration and Naturalization Fees Release Date 01/03/2023 WASHINGTON—Today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to adjust certain immigration and naturalization benefit request fees. The new fees would allow USCIS to more fully recover its operating costs, reestablish and maintain timely case processing, and prevent the accumulation of future case backlogs. USCIS receives approximately 96 percent of its funding from filing fees, not from congressional appropriations. The proposed fee rule is the result of a comprehensive fee review at USCIS. That review determined that the agency’s current fees, which have remained unchanged since 2016, fall far short of recovering the full cost of agency operations. USCIS generally publishes a fee rule biennially, and proposes these changes to account for the expansion of humanitarian programs, federally mandated pay raises, additional staffing requirements, and other essential investments. In 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic led to a dramatic reduction in receipts of new applications, resulting in a temporary drop in revenue by 40 percent. The combination of depleted cash reserves, a temporary hiring freeze, and workforce attrition has reduced the agency’s capacity to timely adjudicate cases, particularly as incoming caseloads rebound to pre-pandemic levels. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/uscis-issues-proposed-rule-to-adjust-certain-immigration-and-naturalization-fees

Elizabeth Warren's family?

Are gays non-binary? As to language, languages change all the time.

I think Biden's quantity of lies is pretty big, and the one thing he does is he keeps repeating the same lies using the George Costanza strategy of 'it's not a lie, if you (he) believes it'. I agree, let's weaponize political lies, we need more impeachments. Are you referring to Santos, or Biden? I guess with Biden it was how his first wife died, but other than that, pretty much the same.
