    If your spouse is born in Canada (or another ROW country) the chargeability would be on their country.

    Is a dentist not a "or be a specialty physician"?
  3. randomstairs
    There is a conditional GC for physicians working in underserved areas. It falls under the NIW.

    Why EB1? The employer can sponsor you for EB2. You can also self-sponsor for EB2-NIW in some cases.

    Can your sister reschedule HER flight more conveniently?
  6. randomstairs
    Could you provide a link to that? Thanks!

    Try to get the police report and the letter from the department that charged her. If they don't have it, ask them if they can produce a statement that the records don't exist.

    Presumably one of the languages on the document is English, so you can copy the exact English text from the original to the translated document. Attach a copy of the original with English text highlighted.

    Why did your employer file for H1B when you had the OPT +STEM?
  10. randomstairs
    I'm sorry. I was quoting the quote from your post, assuming that it would reference it to the original. My bad.

    Their F1 is still valid because of the OPT. Where does it say that you can't travel on OPT F1?

    That's what I did in California. They had no idea what I wanted when I requested to update the records. After a brief dispute about a validity of a US passport as a proof of citizenship, they processed me for a new DL. It's identical to the old one, and I didn't request a new one. So, in California, I see no point in updating the DMV with the citizenship status.

    They refused to accept my passport card at a SSA office in my area, and asked for the passport book. I explained (a pointless endeavor) that the passport card is equivalent to the book within the US. Had to bring the passport book to the office only to learn from another agent that the card would've been perfectly fine.

    This way you can lose your Naturalization Certificate without having a passport in hand. The processing time for a replacement is currently 11 months. Worst advice ever.

    If the records are from the US, there's a way to reopen them. Expunging a conviction always causes problems with immigration. If you can't get the records, try at least getting the court clerk's statement that the records don't exist. Depending on the nature of the crime, you can simply explain that the records aren't available to you and they should adjudicate on the merit of current evidence.

    Yes, do bring the tax transcripts! They probably won't ask for them but it's possible.

    There's a bar close to my campus and of course they check IDs of EVERYONE, even if they look 65+. They also have a list of acceptable IDs, and if I remember correctly, a foreign passport is accepted but not any other foreign ID. Interestingly, Green Card is explicitly listed as NOT acceptable. (Mike E explained why, so now I get it.)

    I don't think it was a case of discrimination, based on what you explained. My point is that if it was (hypothetically speaking) a case of discrimination, it wouldn't be because the OP was a vaper. I'm also pretty sure a business can't refuse someone a service just because they e.g. "sound foreign." That is, "national origin" doesn't have to be specific.

    That's like saying "cake eaters are not a protected group" if a pastry store refuses to sell a cake based on, e.g, customer's race (a protected group). I get it that businesses can decide for themselves which types of IDs are acceptable (so de facto they can discriminate). But if there was a discrimination case here, it would be based on national origin, which, in turn, would be a violation of Title II (public accommodations) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    Sure, go ahead with it. This would be considered wear-and-tear - expected damage that doesn't disqualify the document. You'll be fine.

    Unfortunately you won't be eligible until your Oath ceremony is behind you. It seems trivial but I'd be extra careful with even scheduling an appointment for a US passport as a non-citizen. (Applying for one as a non-citizen would be fatal. Scheduling an appointment probably doesn't require you to state your citizenship status, but still - I wouldn't do it personally.)

    I don't think the N-400 can be approved without the interview. There must be an error somewhere. Talk to the Immigration Officer (not just the the call center representative). This is serious enough for them to connect you with the IO.
  23. randomstairs
    You should naturalize if the same-day Oath is scheduled. Your third proposed option is optimal given the situation, IMO.
  24. randomstairs
    Don't worry about it. That account number will be created after you submit the N-400 form, and unless you'll be applying for another benefit in the future (which you won't) you won't need it at all. Leave it blank.

    You don't really need the mailed notice. Just print out the PDF. There's a barcode on it. They'll scan it when you arrive. No worries.
