It's good that you've got her upcoming coverage. Typically what you'd need to investigate is a sort of temporary insurance for new immigrants. Since she has moved to the US instead of visiting, she will not qualify for travelers health insurance. Fair warning though, temporary insurance which is marketing to new immigrants is non-ACA compliant, and their coverage is dubious at best if at all. Some people choose to go without until their new coverage kicks in, but of course there's risks to that. The question is though is if having this type of insurance is really worth it to begin with if the coverage is so poor.

Your boyfriend will need a completed I-134, his most recent tax transcript from the IRS which will show his earnings and that he's paid taxes. This is mentioned in the instructions for the I-134. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-134instr.pdf London will also want to see an employer letter, stating position, how long worked, and salary. These items you need to take with you to your interview.

I don't see anything really suspicious that stands out about those visits. There was a period of time when my husband would visit twice a year usually on his university breaks. Besides his first visit he was never questioned. It might be good to take some sort of employer letter as proof. I'd say we certainly would leave larger gaps in-between visits (if he came in spring he wouldn't return until winter). Perhaps the officer thought a visit in Nov and then again in Feb was too soon.

I went to NJ once. After two hours I was done and safely retreated. The husband says we should go back and I have yet for him to give me a good reason why we should. Delaware is 11th on that list too, and while there are nice things to see there and in general friendly people these days those people are also generally miserable. I probably shouldn't knock so hard on MD though. There's tons of cool to find here but I don't think we are a genuinely happy people.

Maryland is 3rd?! LOL! 🤣

I can only attest to what worked for us. If you are missing tax return transcripts that should be there, you're going to have to go into the office to get them or at the very least they can offer some suggestion by directly speaking to an agent. If you have the full tax forms and w2s that may be fine - but I cannot attest to what the USCIS officer will ask of you during interview. I felt we were very proactive on the subject of letting our officer know the IRS rules and providing them what we had ahead of time. The officer wasn't concerned, but I can't say what yours will request. It is not uncommon for years to be missing on the IRS since they implemented this new rule. If you have years missing under the three year period (what the IRS is supposed to collect and save online) there are reasons why they may be missing as the IRS states: If you are concerned perhaps make a visit? https://www.irs.gov/help/contact-your-local-irs-office

What we did for naturalization when the following things did not work: 1) Making an account and looking for them. They won't have all the older transcripts you're looking for. Ironically I needed 2018, and I had 2017 because I had printed it out back then. Could have kicked myself for missing out on that transcript. They will not have them on the website past three years. If you are missing some before that date then you'll certainly need to contact the IRS about it, likely by going into the office. 2) sending in a form to the IRS to request they go looking for it. didn't work, they sent it back denied. 3) calling them, also got the runaround. In lieu of going to an office directly and not wanting to keep doing this song and dance. I simply got the entire copy of 2018 tax return with w2 and uploaded it onto our N400 along with the tax transcripts for the other years we did have. We also uploaded a letter explaining why we chose a tax return instead of a transcript and explained the IRS rules. There was absolutely no problem. The officer did not ask or care about it.

This individual was also previously arrested in September in NY and released. There are many similarities in this case to the homicide of Rachel Morin in August of last year in Maryland. Some have even pointed out that he looks very similar to a recently released sketch of a suspect in the murder. That suspect in the MD case was traced via DNA to the rape of a minor that took place in California earlier in the year. Police have always stated that they feared would kill again and may be linked to other crimes. I am praying that this may be the suspect and can be brought to justice. For more background on the MD case see here:

Yes! This is one of my favorite stories from last year, and like an old friend it's back! I hope they do another spectacle thing where we pew pew it and watch it pop.

Just imagine a giant dumpster. Then imagine them tossing all the files of cases into that dumpster. No system, no sorting, no organization, all mixed around. A couple officers will pick whatever is on the top for the week and the rest of the time is playing candy crush, zoom meetings, and napping. In other words they'll get to your case eventually, but it won't make much sense how long it will take getting to it.

How a K1 process usually works: get K1 and arrive to US. Marry as soon as possible. You can go to the SSA before marriage and get an SSN this is very helpful. The SSN will have restrictions on it. Start planning to do other things such as adding new spouse to health insurance or bank. When you file for AOS you will also file for an EAD (work authorization) and advanced parole (travel). The question always becomes though how long will it take the EAD to arrive before the green card and will prospective employers understand one to begin with? That is the problem we ran into ultimately and this problem will increase with longer wait times to receive it. With the long wait time growing it can certainly increase the burdens of needing to rely on savings if the spouse cannot work and that problem is compounded since you cannot get proper ID/DL without the card. With the SSN and an EAD will make it much easier for the new spouse to obtain things like a state ID or DL. When you receive the green card you will need to head back to the DMV to update license/ID and the SSA to remove restrictions off the card.

Well I guess changing her identity was one of the reasons she got hired. Previously she'd been in trouble for welfare fraud because she said no one would hire her under her old identity. But I would agree, certainly a person with severe mental problems, a lack of education, and convicted of a crime shouldn't be teaching kids.

So is she back to grifting being white again?

These are the same types of scams that youtubers like Kitboga highlight and try to take the scammer for a long and hilarious torture session. Usually they will go after an elderly person in a variety of ways. There is generally a network of individuals in call centers abroad and then drop off locations or collectors in the US. I'd be very sympathetic normally, but after reading that article it truly was another one of those insufferable things and they did get dragged all over the internet for writing it. One theory out there is that the person actually lost the money another way but wrote the article and the elaborate scam as a cover story. One thing I've always told my parents is the various ways people can scam you. Mom's recent dealings with the medicare scam that she took no part in certainly has infuriated her, that the government isn't doing more to protect the vulnerable. My husband is currently working on stopping new types of scams that are attempting to defraud the government and college institutions out of student loans and grants. He says it's always unbelievable when he sees employees put clearly suspicious accounts through - giving them access to thousands of dollars.

Generally a SSN would be needed if you aren't going with an authorized user. The easiest way to start from scratch and no credit history would be a secured credit card.

The SLC thing was an annoyance for us to handle stateside (needing to send off proof of non-employment, late letters, phone calls, and threats), but once done we only needed to start paying once my husband had started his first job in the US. You're then reassessed every year. Honestly? It's a giant pain. If you have the funds to pay it off might be worth it to never deal with it again. We're still paying and will continue to do so for years. We kept a UK account for that purpose. Also make sure to complete a P85 and you might get money back from the HMRC. We also got rid of the ISA before leaving the UK.

I've seen a few discussions online that explain this type of product would not be legal in the US, and at the best possibility there are many tax implications if it is. It might be wise to speak to a CPA that might be knowledgeable in this sort of thing. Their own website does mention that holding this account may not be legal in the US and that it's important to check regulations. I've also seen discussions on expat forums that they spoke to NS&I advisors that told them it wasn't a good idea to continue them. It may not be technically illegal to hold them, but having physical communication sent via USPS mail service would be a problem regarding gambling laws and could additionally run afoul of state regulations. 'Winnings' would also be taxable and need to be reported on a variety of forms. If you ended up with a very large amount of winnings/earnings it would be a problem very quick. I think it is prudent to consider that this may be more trouble than it is worth and to move that money into safer legal options.

Our day consisted of having a good bit of our plans ruined by needing to call an emergency plumber because when dad calls and says the toilet is spraying water out the tank and what should he do and then has a panic attack and a nosebleed you know it's gonna be one of those days. The end result was a late night of trying food from the new Japanese place (which was okay will give A for effort but was just a Chinese take on Japanese food) and watching a movie.

This is a breaking story: A meeting about this will happen tomorrow. Word is PutinPie sent some kind of pew pew device orbiting into space and it is very bad. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/house-intel-chair-warns-serious-national-security-threat-ahead-planned-rcna138848 Any ideas on what it could theoretically be?

Printed out the 100 questions/answers from the USCIS site, and went over them every day until the interview. By then you should be good.

They did not have "free Palestine'' on the gun. They had a sticker that said "Palestine" on it. Not that it makes a huge difference, but there were many reports initially that were inaccurate including the sticker and the shooter's gender to the point police had to clarify. https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/houston-church-shooter-had-free-palestine-written-on-gun-local-reports-say-genesse-ivonne-moreno-local-journalist-jeremy-rogalski-texas-violence-jewish-israel-hamas-conflict-middle-east

If you define Kelcie singing like a drunken half dead whale on the stage and her looking at him with one of those smiles that says "oh god what have I done" as a wardrobe malfunction then it was good enough. 😄

Is the citizenship test hard? No. But should it be? Not.. exactly. The fact is many if not most Americans cannot even answer the questions asked, so why should it be any different? For some people, having multiple choice answers could be easier, than having to memorize an exact answer. The fact is, all of us that have been through it with our spouses are relieved that they got through it, and wouldn't want it to be harder for them. Studies show that immigrants-new citizens are even more civic minded, educated about the country, and enthusiastic about being American, compared to those naturally born here. I think where some immigrants have an issue, like my husband for instance, is years of going through the stress and mess of this process, getting to citizenship and realizing "is that it?" It's a weird sort of apprehension, relief, and stages of grief. I reminded him that to become an American, isn't about needing 'pomp and circumstance', ordeal, and fanfare to belong here. Everyone in that room is on a level playing field and deserves to be there and there's beauty in the simplicity. The promise of America is that anyone can be American. Does answering six questions correctly make you any more or any less American? I'm sure many tests have been failed due to nerves rather than not knowing the subject matter.

Sorry we tried, we even tried some local colloquialisms and it didn't work. The only thing that worked was "rubbish" which was what he thought of it.
