You may be able to submit the I407 at a border crossing.

I would go. Good Luck!

Should be San Diego I expect. Processing times are around 12 months for the N600, so it looks like they should be processed soon. Good Luck! https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

The required evidence for submitting the N400 is fairly light (reference the link page 10). Unless you are filing from overseas or the spouse of a military member or in the military yourself, only numbers 2 and 3 apply. There is a longer list of evidence requested for the interview beginning on page 11, and many folks filing online also upload that material, but it is not required to submit an N400 application, and the applicant still needs to bring it to the interview even if they uploaded it. In my wife’s case, she filed by mail, and only included the required evidence, took the rest to the interview where the IO ignored all of it. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

I agree, changing your family name after marriage is a personal decision, not a requirement.

Yet people still vote for the increasingly woke Democrats. Go Woke, Go Broke? Liberal movies, books, TV that bombed in 2022 Another film focused on LGBT characters, "Bros," didn't move the needle at the box office, either. Star Billy Eichner furiously warned "homophobes" on Twitter to not come see the movie. It grossed $14.8 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. The New York Times suggested "homophobia" could be the reason the gay romantic comedy was unsuccessful. Movies with overtly political themes like the star-studded "Amsterdam" also failed to attract audiences this year. The film about friends who uncover a plot to overthrow the government, featured Robert De Niro's character giving a "thinly veiled speech telling off Trump." https://www.foxnews.com/media/go-woke-go-broke-liberal-movies-books-tv-bombed-2022

Are you currently in the US? If not, you just need the I130 and I130A at this point. The I864 comes at the NVC stage after the I130 is approved by NVC and the process moves to the consulate in Canada. Good Luck!

This still has to deal with the major challenge of storing the H2. There are also issues in that an H2 fueled ICE engine does emit some bad stuff, so it might require some interesting exhaust after treatment like diesels do today.

Clyde Shavers in Washington would be the first. Even his own family has come out against his lies.

That is really the thing that gets me. All this moral outrage over a politician lying by a bunch of lying politicians, and the folks that fall for those lies.

Yes, this has been true since the dawn of time.

Not necessarily. My wife chose to take my family name, but her Russian passport is still in her maiden name and it caused no issues. Once you get married and get your marriage certificate (a legal name change document recognized in the US), submit the I130 and any supporting documents in the name she wants to have on her visa/GC. She can change her passport later if she wants of it is not too much of a pain like it is in Russia. Good Luck!

A passport stamp is not really applicable for you. Good Luck!

In general, the I485 has to be routed to the local field office for an eventual interview. This goes through NBC. As to if it is getting closer, I would say yes, but of course that is dependent on how backed up your local field office is. Good Luck!

Possibly, but if you come back before your GC expires you won’t need it. I would be more concerned with possibly being called for a biometrics appointment during your two month absence. Good Luck!

No, my wife had her Russian passport stamped back in early 2018 and it is still in her maiden name.

They cannot deny a visa just because they want to? How many B2 applications get rejected everyday for little or no reason? As to a WoM, I am not sure anyone is advising the OP not to look at that route. Of course not everyone can afford to take this route, but it seems the OP is strongly considering it. My only issue with this thread and the suggestions is they are based on very little background data. We have no idea why the BIL’s (I think this was the OP’s sister’s spouse) application is being held up in AP. They OP has more information on that, and if they feel they have exhausted all other options and are fine with the legal fees, the WoM is a viable option.

Personally I am all for what Texas and Arizona have been doing as it gets the message out about the chaos at the border. Sadly I suspect AZ will stop with their new progressive woke Democrat Governor.

Yes, that is why I asked if Beto was going to switch parties. He could get elected in Texas as a GOPer with a George Santos or Clyde Shavers resume.

Deja Vu?

Is Beto going to run as a Republican?

Congratulations!

It really depends on the long-term situation. Is it important for your immigrating fiancé to work immediately? Is it important for them to be free to leave the US and re-enter relatively soon after entering the US? Is money an issue? It is a tough decision for you at this point 8 months in, but you have to weigh that against the additional time it will take to do the AOS, get work authorization, get advanced parole, and the added cost of the I485. The spousal visa is far superior to the fiancé visa, but changing it at this point is a personal decision. Good Luck!

Sorry for your situation, follow what @Mike E laid out. Also, make sure you document any intimidation, threats, assault or battery incidents, and keep yourself safe. Good Luck!

Not outside the 10.5 month processing time yet for California. Most likely any inquiry will be ignored at this point. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/
