🤣 "“This wasn’t just a case of someone trying to ‘meat’ their budget. This was a calculated, ‘high-steaks operation’ that left two stores with significant losses,” the sheriff added. “While this suspect’s selection was choice, his method wasn’t kosher."

I would not count on USCIS sending a new extension letter. I would seek an appointment with USCIS to get an ADIT stamp.

Do you have a valid justification for not attending as scheduled?

***Thread moved to Tourist Visas as OP entered via ESTA****

ESTA entries cannot be extended. I would encourage you to avoid an overstay at all costs....else ESTA will be voided forever and you risk deportation...as well as likely B2 visa denial. Even an extension request under a B2 visa would be risky and not guaranteed. Do not overstay. I wish you the best under these trying circumstances.

Welcome to Visa Journey. This is the best place for accurate immigration info. We have many seasoned members who enjoy helping. Don't hesitate to study the guides and ask questions. We cannot give legal advice, but we can share what we have learned over the years. Good luck on your journey.

You have no idea how unpredictable it can be.......Once you file the I-485, you are in a limbo period.....Once your I-94 expires, you are out of status......theoretically, once you file the I-485, you are in "authorized stay" until the I-485 is either approved or denied....but that is not a legal status....it is a policy,.....Be prepared for the inability to work, travel outside the US for months.

You can't file an I-485 online.

Under current circumstances, I would caution anyone who entered as a tourist who is considering adjustment of status. Once your I-94 has expired, you are subject to heavy scrutiny by CBP and USCIS.

I would strongly suggest that you file your I-485 and I-130 PRIOR to that date. DO NOT accrue any unlawful presence. Marriage to a US citizen, alone, conveys no right to remain in the US.

Here is a guide for you to study. Become an "A" student of these forms and process.

If you remain in the US and adjust status, it will be as much as 9-12 months before you can work or leave the US. Are you prepared for that?

1. Do you want to remain in the US and adjust status, or do you want to return to your home country for consular processing (CR-1 visa)? Doing so will take about 18 months or more for a CR-1 visa. 2. If you have a valid marriage certificate from Argentina, you are already married.....just translate the marriage certificate. When does your current I-94 expire?

I would include what her current annual income over the next 12 months will be (with supporting documents). If that income is insufficient or unknown(since she is now retired), I would find a different joint sponsor. If you entered her last tax transcript amount as her current annual income on the I-864, that was a mistake.

Fun Fact: When my wife took the oath in January 2023, there were more than 1,000 others taking the oath in the same ceremony.......More efficient to do them in mass, I guess. January 26th, 2023 in Plano, Texas.

Actually, it does for determining current annual income support for an immigrant because it is not CURRENT income. CURRENT income (and income which will be earned over the following year after immigrant arrival) is king. In other words, the income a sponsor/petitioner will have over the following 12 months after an immigrant enters the US is what supports that immigrant in the form of current annual income. That is CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME...not what was earned in previous years. Example: If I earned 100K last year, but I just lost my job.....My CURRENT annual income is now $0 if I am currently unemployed (with no other income coming). On an I-864, there are 2 areas. CURRENT annual income (PART 6 item 7) is separate from the tax info the sponsor must provide in boxes PART 6 items 16.a-16.c. In other words, unless a person is self-employed, past tax reporting is not relevant to CURRENT income. If you want to include saved funds from previous employment, it is not income...it would be liquid assets. An unemployed sponsor should report current annual income as $0.00. Normally, CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME is supported by pay stubs, employment letters for W-2 employees, or profit/loss sheets in the case of self-employed sponsors. Note: CURRENT ANNUAL INCOME can include Social Security, Retirement pensions, and even non-taxable income, etc.

He remains a legal resident until: 1. He surrenders his Green card with an I-407; or 2. An Immigration Judge terminates his residency A divorce (or intent to divorce) or his just leaving the US has no effect on your obligations under an I-864 (while he is a Green Card holder) or on his status as a legal resident. I would hire a good divorce attorney asap, and I would protect myself physically and financially.

To clarify: Your husband's immigration path is in his hands. If he chooses to stay, he can simply file an I-751 with a divorce waiver (if he is currently has a 2 year Green card) However, it is essential, imo, that you obtain a good divorce attorney to protect yourself physically and financially. As stated, an I-864 and your obligation remains in force until the immigrant: 1. Becomes a US citizen: or 2. Leaves the US and loses status as a Green card holder; or 3. Accrues 40 quarters of work credit; or 4. Dies A divorce neither relieves you of the I-864 obligation nor requires the immigrant to leave the US. Good luck.

I would say the I-130 part of the process will take roughly a year.

Normal for now. No need to panic yet.

I would call it an insurance premium....

The way I see it is that he went looking for trouble and found it. What sane person carries a loaded weapon to a high tension-packed environment? In may states, it is illegal to carry a weapon to political protest.
