He is incorrect. Either he is intentionally lying, delusional, or completely ignorant. An SSN doesn't expire. It is his for life. He just cannot use the number to work until authorized (the authorization is the EAD or the green card). The SSN must be updated several times during the immigration process, but the number never changes or expires. I don't normally suggest going into the SSN and asking them questions as the employees aren't always helpful, but if he suggested that to one they'd laugh him out of the building. All of this doesn't matter. Because you have waited too late to obtain the SSN from the beginning, it now cannot be obtained until the EAD arrives. About jobs, I must stress to please don't think for one second that as soon as you have an EAD jobs will be so easy to obtain. From experience, my husband was extremely qualified in the IT field and even with that EAD no one wanted him. The problem to me is not only the market itself but that employers and some HR don't understand what an EAD is. They wanted to see a green card. The EAD only helped him with documentation for his DL not jobs. Experiences will vary of course. Once my husband had a green card he was hired nearly immediately, but by that time we were quite desperate. That did not mean he took a high qualifying job either. It was a part time, without benefits position, in low end IT work. Good people there saw the potential and qualifications and realized he did not belong in that role. I can only imagine what will happen when your spouse realizes not being able to achieve a job he believes he deserves or is forced to take a menial one. Are there mental health issues going on here? Strange statements and laying on the floor seem odd to me. What are you aware about the I864 obligations, in light of the potential breakdown of this relationship?

I had to tell one of them that I needed to finally get a shower and to please don't yell at me to help about hulu during that time... 🤪

my labor day. 1) Plan to write important letter 2) get sidetracked taking care of dog and injured husband 3)go on a wild goose chase tracking down an object that had been misplaced by family members 4) go on another wild goose chase trying to track down an object husband has misplaced (no luck) 5) ask someone to reorder lost object 6)with everyone raging about satellite tv and alternative options, I was now asked to set up 4 different hulu accounts (this took some time) 7)lunch! 8)try and teach the elderly how to use hulu for the millionth time (frustrated) 9)get sidetracked helping husband sort through items we need to pack 10)look through some maps 11)finally get to writing some of the important letter 12) book appointments for next week 13)be asked to try and teach the elderly how to use hulu again.... 14) cook dinner 15) elderly... hulu... again 16)clean up mess 17) continue planning trip abroad 18) hulu... AGAIN (can they just make a streaming service for old people)

This is just very strange to me, no offense. You immigrate because you love someone and want to be with that person and have a life with that person together. Kitchens are rather irrelevant to the process. If kitchens were very important, then applying for an SSN (which it seems he did not want to do) opening an account together, working on a DL, and maybe even asking for an EAD expedite) would have been a key component to the process. Over the years have we been thrilled living at the same location as my parents? No. They drive us bananas but I am also responsible for their care. Still we have a life together. If this is not the life he wanted, you must both decide together what course of action to take. Immigration is not easy, and it will not get any easier or shorter. If you proceed with the adjustment process you need to show a life together... it does not sound like there is much togetherness right now, and that may show clearly during an interview.

So when my husband came here on his K1 we lived at my family's house. We had saved a great deal of money, as I didn't work at the time because I am my parent's caretaker, and I knew it would take a while before he found a stable job. It was not easy. He applied to so many jobs and was rejected, and my parents were less than helpful in their comments at times. He felt dejected and unable to provide. There were deaths in the family and hardships to come. After a while, and still waiting on the USCIS to come through, money was getting tight. We nearly lost our health insurance. Thankfully a job came through and from there over the years we are in a pretty good place now. He is happy with life in the US and making more than he'd ever dreamed of. One thing in all those struggles though and I think is very important for every US citizen in the relationship to understand: Everyone's situation is different but YOU ultimately are responsible for supporting your foreign spouse, especially if they are not working. That doesn't just mean financially it means ensuring that they understand how life in the US works and also how the process works. Based on several things you've said here, I'm not sure either one of you understand some of the process. It is incorrect about there being two different SSNs. What you should have done was applied for his SSN immediately upon arrival. His SSN is his for life. It does not change. Without an SSN is significantly delaying the process. And sure, he wouldn't be able to work until his EAD comes even with an SSN, but an SSN helps you with insurance and gives the spouse some documents to their name. If this info has come from him this is false. You are the US citizen, you are responsible for knowing the information and having a plan. Don't rely on the immigrant to tell you how our customs are especially if it is clear their info is wrong. If they have misunderstood the info that's one thing, but if it is an intentional falsehood I don't know.. Always double check where the info has come from. Don't assume he is correct. You are responsible for his care. A DL: everyone is going to be different but if you live in an area like I do that is more rural and far to get to a shop driving is essential. My husband was happy driving in his own country but he absolutely wanted to drive here, and we made sure to set that up as soon as possible. A DL/ID is yet another important document for the immigrant. A joint account: I think that's typically very important in showing co-mingling of finances to the USCIS, setting the spouse for a future job etc. Of course if a divorce or abuse is occurring that is a situation where tangling finances might not be for the best - so you need to figure out what the future will be. If you terminate the marriage, adjusting status isn't going to happen because you're not continuing with the process. You said you cannot divorce because you haven't been married six months? I don't believe that to be true. The process in CA should take six months to finalize, but a divorce could be filed at any time. You said he doesn't want to take your money to go see a doctor? Why isn't he added to health insurance? Finally... marriage is hard work. Asking an immigrant to give up their entire way of life to move to a new country with new customs, language, and expectations is even harder. For reference I have known my spouse for nearly 20 years, but he only moved here 9 years ago. I don't know how long you were in a relationship with your spouse before the decision was made to immigrate, and most people certainly wouldn't wait that long - but for some I think waiting until both persons understand what they are getting themselves into and expectations of what it entails is important. Do you love him, truly, or is this a marriage of obligation? Does he love you, truly, or is this a relationship of something else entirely. You need to decide. You both do.

You need to go in person and bring the citizenship certificate. It's very easy. Also take the time to update at the DMV.

You cannot make them something they are not. They are US citizens and as such they are not eligible for visas. Regardless of if you are a citizen or a green card holder - all world-wide income must be reported so don't let the notion of taxes put you off too much.

Chances are the officer on the US side won't even ask about his prescriptions. It's been a long time but I don't recall them asking my husband anything other than what visa he was arriving on, giving them the packet, and having them run some checks.

All medications should be placed in your carry on baggage. Never put them in the checked hold baggage. If it needs refrigeration via a freezer pack/ice pack/gel pack these are an accepted allowance/exemption (because of the liquid rules) but TSA agents generally need to be informed. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/tsa-cares/disabilities-and-medical-conditions/medications#:~:text=Before the screening begins%2C inform,IV bags%2C pumps and syringes. That's the advice on the US side, but you're going to need to check on the regulations on the country of origin and the airline. Remember you are coming on a K1. You're moving to the US, so taking medication isn't unusual.

Is your only reason for selecting K1 to simply marry in the US? Do you intend to not live in the US with your new spouse?

Entering the US under the VWP with the intent to stay and adjust status is a big no no. Ask the lawyer what will happen if she announced her intentions to the CBP upon entry, and then fire him. 😉 To best protect your spouse, going the spousal visa route is the legal way.

He wasn't just arrested for waving a flag. He was arrested for disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, carrying incendiary devices with the intent to harm, resisting arrest and disobeying police orders. He also pleaded guilty to the charges. https://www.thescarboroughnews.co.uk/news/crime/scarborough-teen-jailed-for-racially-aggravated-behaviour-following-police-crackdown-on-civil-unrest-4753540

You do not receive 3 or 4 COVID vaccines at once. There is a dosing interval that is regulated for safe and optimum protection and you have the option to space out as many vaccines as you wish right now. For instance my husband went to his GP and received his vaccinations before even going to the medical. Multiple dosages have to be spaced out and for those with no issue to be given together you could still space them out if it made you feel more comfortable (I actually do this with my dog - no more than two standard vaccinations at a time and if due for rabies it must be spaced out alone). Some are not problematic to be given together, but for those that are a series they are required to be spaced anyway. The vaccines as they currently stand do not prevent you (they may in some) from acquiring COVID for a variety of complex reasons, however they may protect you and others from severe illness or death. If we were serious globally about stopping COVID we could certainly do that, where you could have full confidence in the vaccine's protection - alas that is not where we are right now, so the vaccine offers what protection it can in the circumstances humans have created for themselves. All vaccines have side effects, largely because of your own personal immune response. In some, there is no way to predict that response so certain effects while rare, can amount a challenging symptom afterward. That is why in taking a vaccine a patient and doctor should evaluate risk vs reward. Initially I was advised that based on my own reaction that I should avoid future COVID vaccines, but was also advised to take thorough precautions to avoid getting sick and research continues on the subject. The risks of acquiring an infection and causing me further severe harm are high. Recently, I have seen good success of those with similar reactions taking Novavax (the risk profile for tinnitus still exist though), which delivers protection in a different mechanism and that is an option for some. When it comes to immigration however, the public health requirements are an important factor for the safety of the patient and for the protection of citizens. These are the requirements given by the government for a reason, as the immigrant is asking to live there afterall. Your personal assessment of risk becomes irrelevant to the government. Ultimately, like Boiler said, it doesn't matter how we feel on the subject of vaccines, the requirements are the requirements. There is a process one can go through if they qualify for it. No guarantee of approval.

Is the census received called the American Community Survey? https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/about/acs-and-census.html

Hi OP: hearing loss or tinnitus can happen with a variety of vaccines, not just COVID. That being said such hearing loss conditions can happen after acquiring COVID infection as well and they may also occur after exposure to COVID followed by a vaccination afterward. Statistically incidents are low from the vaccine, however they are far higher after an infection. I personally know one individual that did experience tinnitus following their 4th booster. They have several risk factors for tinnitus. This was after a prior infection so it would be hard for a doctor to say 100% that is what caused it, only that the symptoms began within 24hrs of the vaccine (and there are theories why). A year following the symptoms emerging, the condition comes and goes, and they have certainly spoken to doctors that acknowledge it is a possible side effect but one that may wane over time. As someone that experienced a different and also rare side effect from the vaccine, but also know many more people that are completely fine and healthy, I know it's a difficult issue and you have limited options. It is a known side effect though rare, and some countries disclose it as such. But you have likely had vaccines in your lifetime that have the same amount of side effect risk. You're going to have to decide if a waiver, delays, and additional money is worth it. Unless you have a lifelong religious objection to all vaccines it will be an uphill battle.

Well, how to make bribery conviction disappear? Beg for a pardon from the President apparently. https://nypost.com/2024/08/19/us-news/menendez-negotiating-pardon-reduced-jail-sources-say/ All I got to say is I hope it's not true or Joe leaves him to rot.

It would seem that this individual has a lot of issues with everybody and did a lot more than shout at a dog. Man is lucky he still has a face. Like many of these knucklehead scum, they are now in jail where they belong. And it's funny that most of them have lengthy criminal records already.

It's 50k lawsuit. Disney is absolutely foolish here but it does not surprise me. People that have very serious allergies really need to be very careful where they choose to eat. Peanuts is one thing, but dairy is quite another. There is nothing on that restaurant's menu that would prevent contamination of those items triggering particular allergies. There is plenty of dairy on the menu.

Let's say you use the green card as one purpose, am I correct (and this is from memory) that the DMV will request at least two other mail items: so a bill, a bank statement, ssn card, official mail from government agency, insurance card. Will they accept any of that, or is it a bill only? For my husband I used our joint bank statement and an official piece of mail from the USCIS, but I could have also used envelope/mail his SSN came in, or health insurance card. For my mom it was very difficult but eventually successful. My other suggestion would be that you do have their name on a bank account so in theory you could set up a secured credit card for them. Alternatively you could just buy a cheap cellphone service on a new cheap phone from a different provider, a club membership, or life insurance policy. Where do your parents live? Could you draw up a rental/living agreement if they live with you?

I don't know what state they reside but certainly a green card would work, as it normally does in any state. I say this not to be snarky, but I know how difficult and archaic it can be to obtain IDs for the elderly with a lack of documents (my mom was a housewife with nothing in her name that needed an ID for medication and needed a birth certificate to get an ID but needed an ID to get a birth certificate!) in trying to work around state laws that don't necessarily fit into a box. Have you asked someone directly? Do they have a bank account? Could you get them one? Is there a way to add them to a bill? Or set up some kind of a bill with mail in their name?

Well, can you not help them obtain a state ID?

I cannot speak for Texas specifically, but we did SSA first, and then went to our DMV. They simply took a photocopy of the citizenship certificate, and then you could register to vote. A new DL was issued, but that was simply because he was due to update/renew one anyway.

These type of lizards are apparently skittish of humans and was way too fast for us. I'm convinced it's either inside a couch or went up into the ceiling. I still cannot find it. Meanwhile it's pals are all doing whatever lizards do outside. We see them when the sun is out. Suppose if it does die the smell will let me know where it might be located. It does say they can bite if cornered. The dog (very much acts like a cat because he was raised with cats) is completely useless and has no interest in chasing anything in old age. If my Dalmatian were alive she would have no problems catching it for sure. With regret I am allergic to cats. It's not so much being scared of it as it is just shocked it's here. These were not creatures anyone can remember in this area.. just appeared two years ago.

My uncle's funeral was made very complicated by the fact my sister came down with COVID, because their employer seems to think if a coworker has all COVID symptoms but doesn't test themselves so they aren't confirmed positive and doesn't have to report it to their superiors is totally fine to come to work and infect cancer patients. Thankfully whether from all the precautions I do take or my still very abnormally high antibodies I remain infection free and I managed to keep everyone safe. We got my dad to the viewing.. which was a long travel time of 2hrs each way. Really difficult, and many of the family members that gathered there seemed in an uncomfortable standoff over the circumstances of my uncle's death. We had all advocated for immediate medical treatment that may have saved his life, but for whatever reason it was declined. That was his/his family's decision we surmise, but it was disturbing for my dad to reckon with and to see the condition he died in. This left him in such a state he told me he could not go to the funeral the next day. So I went to take care of my aunt because I didn't want her to go through everything alone. On the weekend my husband wanted to de-stress, so a buddy offered to bring bikes and go riding some trails. I told him that he should absolutely not do this if he wasn't wearing a helmet, so I made him go buy one. A few hours later he's calling to tell me he's crashed the bike, is injured, but is making it back home. His friend is sheepish and apologetic - the old bike's brakes weren't working?! A very furious me finds my husband wounded and bleeding from most extremities and complaining of pain in his arms and legs. His phone is cracked, but the helmet? It saved him! We go to urgent care because I can't get all the debris out of the wounds and for stitches and x-rays. The doctor is amused of the story (perhaps there are many annoyed wives that come in with their injured husbands?) especially when he tells her he biked 10 miles back home injured. Nothing was broken either (bad sprain), but he did get a tetanus shot for his troubles. You'd think that would be everything. No. A tornado warning that evening had us hiding in the basement with no power. Next morning one of our trees had narrowly... by like a foot?? missed the car. Instead of calling someone he's out there with saws removing it, instead of resting. Monday I thought okay, maybe I can finally get him to rest because he's feeling really poorly, but I go back down into the basement to handle a backlog of washing... and staring at me is a lizard. .....a lizard!! I scream and it dives under the couch. And from there began a game of chasing it around the room, tearing apart the room for several hours and ultimately giving up. I can't find it and I've had to make peace with the fact we now have a lizard running around the house. Does anyone know how to make an effective trap or will it find it's way out? My husband said yesterday that it's been a long week. I said... it's only just Monday!

I would like to know exactly where you are getting information from regarding the gender of this athlete? After doing a lot of reading the facts currently seem to be as follows: Khelif was born a female with female genitalia. They were not born a man with male genitalia. They were not born intersex and assigned genitalia after birth. They are not trans. They are not even a man intentionally pretending to be a woman to cheat. No disorder or complicated genetic issue has been uncovered yet, though it could certainly be possible, if not likely. Khelif has been boxing for quite some time, they have lost numerous matches to other women born with female genitalia. A problem has arisen, such has happened in rare cases with other athletes that had been assigned genitalia at birth, born intersex, or not born intersex but have rare genetic issues. That issue is higher than what is defined as normal - testosterone. Biological women, produce testosterone. A large majority of women with disorders such as PCOS and others can absolutely have high testosterone, which is an unfortunate hallmark of such disease - in more severe cases of PCOS women can take on 'male characteristics' such as hirsutism. Similarly men can have a range of disorders or disease that cause them to have poor testosterone production of which the effects are too numerous to mention. The IOC states as follows: They are essentially saying what your local endocrinologist might tell you: men and women have varying and diverse testosterone levels and those levels don't provide a full picture. https://olympics.com/ioc/human-rights/fairness-inclusion-nondiscrimination One of the biggest issues recently about an athlete with complex medical history was Semenya. While still a teenager, she was forced to take birth control and was ordered to submit to numerous tests and eventually a medical procedure, shots, and more. All in an effort to control her testosterone levels, which were through no fault of her own. These 'treatments' affected her physical and mental well-being in a similar way numerous advocates complain about young adults being subjected to HRT as they 'transition'. The IAAF then ruled she was biologically a male because she has a rare intersex condition, despite her being born with female genitalia and identifying as a female all her life (yes not all intersex persons have ambiguous genitals at birth). https://apnews.com/documents-reveal-new-details-in-bitter-semenya-iaaf-battle-f844add98d02453ea926706f687c2fc7 What followed throughout this athlete's life was humiliation and exploitation. I suspect that Khelif and other similar athletes will end up enduring the same. Intersex is a complicated condition, and condition is not even the right word for it perhaps. They are people that are born uniquely and through no fault of their own. Many do not even know they have it. They have their own talents, hopes, and dreams. They do not deserve to be spoken about as if they are disgusting. Everyone wants the line between men and women to be clear cut - but god seems to make complicated exceptions to our human rules. How then should these "men" and "women" compete? Should they be denied because of something that isn't their fault? Should they be forced into dangerous therapies so that people can feel more "comfortable"? I don't think that is the answer, nor is exclusion, nor is some of the really terrible comments I've seen tossed around.
