Crazy Cat

A lot of people being depicted in parody now.

I think media people are too quick to see the R word intent in simple parody. Some people let their bias shade what others intend as parody..... I guess people see things differently. just my opinion.

It depicted a LOT of politicians as different animals.......big deal (sarcasm).... News Flash: Not everything is racist.

@Edward and Jaycel is correct. CURRENT annual income is always king. There is no need to use both income and assets. Notice what the I-134 instructions say: "Item Number 18. Assets. Provide information about any assets you will use to support the beneficiary for the anticipated period of his or her stay. List only assets that can be converted into cash within 12 months and that will be used to support the beneficiary while the beneficiary is in the United States. Provide the value of all assets listed in U.S. dollars, regardless of whether they are held in the United States or outside of the United States. Do not include assets from any individuals named in Part 3." Fun Fact: The I-134 for a K-1 is valid for only 90 days, and is actually not enforceable or legally binding. The I-864, which you submit after marriage, is valid much, much longer, and IS enforceable. Three separate courts have held that the Form I-134 was not enforceable against a sponsor by a state agency seeking to recover the medical costs incurred by the sponsored immigrant.1 The courts held that that affidavit of support does not form a legal contract but represents only a moral obligation. Having said that, most all consults will require an I-134 to help determine if the visa holder will become a public charge. This is to protect the visa holder and taxpayers. If current annual income is sufficient, I would skip the assets declaration.

Context is always important.....Liberals should know that by now. Every prominent politician was depicted as an animal in that AL generated video. Much adoo about nothing....again.

Wow! Minute Maid is a household name....

Same here. I always have my phone on me, and I can add things to my grocery list note whenever or wherever they come to mind.

File an AR-11. You can do it online. Yes, you must report address changes within 10 days of moving. I have never seen anyone get arrested for filing late, but, by law, you must submit an AR-11.

Nope. None at all. Sounds like enforcing current law. I fail to see the controversy in expedited removal of people who are illegally present in the US....especially if they were never inspected. They are trespassers who have no legal basis to be here, imho. It really isn't complicated. "So the majority of the cases to which Chief Judge Schiltz was referring involve this really controversial move ICE has made across the country to treat any noncitizen who was never lawfully admitted to the United States - so an undocumented immigrant, Scott, even if they've been living here lawfully for 30, 40 years without - you know, without breaking any laws - to treat all of those folks as if they were, quote, "arriving aliens," which subjects them to both arrest and mandatory immigration detention. "

It is never the policy they protest......It's Orange Man Bad....Where was the outrage when Obama and Biden deported illegals?

Just to clarify, is this a spousal visa case or an Adjustment of Status case? I think it is rare that someone from Canada seeks asylum in the US, then starts the spousal visa process. Is she going to interview in Montreal?

I agree with @OldUser . Just go with the full payment. Less hassle, imo.

Nothing is fast in immigration......the waiting is the hard part. We have all been there. Stay busy and keep learning about the next steps....good luck.

Your choice. Just make sure you submit the re-schedule prior to the originally scheduled ceremony. You only get a couple missed oaths before they deny your application.

Personally, I would fly back and take the oath....but I suppose you could re-schedule and try to get it scheduled in PA.....it would be a big hassle and might take months or a year to finish , imo.

Everyone would......but it wasn't in the cards for us.

There are no USCIS offices outside the US. Must be done in the US.

****I have moved this discussion to the Philippines regional forum*****

Go to this link, then enter your zip code in Field Office Locator. It will list your local field office: https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-a-uscis-office/field-offices

****I have moved this thread to the IR-1/CR-1 Spousal Visa forum area*****

Good. Then you are in a better place to consider the benefits/drawbacks of both a K-1 and a CR-1.

For information, this is my analysis of both marriage routes. Each couple must decide which route is better for their situation: K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (up to 9 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (up to 9 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. If US spouse declines to participate in Adjustment of Status, the foreign spouse will have a very difficult avenue to legally remain in the US. Current Presidential executive order (travel bans) don't allow K-1 visa holders from some countries to enter the US. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises. Current Presidential executive order (travel bans) exempt immediate relatives of US citizens.

Sounds like you are in a difficult situation if your benefits stop upon marriage since it seems you will lose benefits months before your spouse will be able to work with either a K-1 or a CR-1.

Once you and your fiance are married, it could be up to a year before she is authorized to work inside the US. I assume you have thought how to support your spouse during this time.
