  1. Me: "Tell me you aren't from the south without telling me you aren't from the south." CEO: "OK, we'll make Cracker Barrel look like an IHOP inside. We'll even use discarded Dennys signs on the outside."
  2. ***Moved to a regional forum***
  3. ***Travel Spammer detected, rejected, and EJECTED!!!****
  4. ***Moved to What Visa Do I Need***
  5. ***Duplicate question removed****Do not ask questions concerning this topic in new threads***
  6. To clarify, the question I referred to was "Can I use my married name and new signature when submitting these forms,". USCIS allows any combination of names on the marriage certificate. Many, many people change their last name based on the marriage certificate.
  7. USCIS says you can use ANY combination of the names on the marriage certificate. For example, if Mary Smith marries John Doe, Mary can us any of the following on USCIS paperwork: Mary Smith Mary Doe Mary Smith Doe Mary-Smith-Doe
  8. Working great, now, for me. Thanks.
  9. OK. ..Better.... I can connect now without a VPN. I seem to be experiencing very, very slow page loading on VJ. That has been the case all day even with a VPN. Visa Journey is the only site that has slowed down. I appreciate your attention.
  10. 1. Yes. 2. 1040X can be filed electronically for last 2 years. 3. There is no need to submit proof...unless you are audited. List the changed income and changed filing status on the 1040X. W-2s are restricted to US employee income. In my case, we simply submit a spreadsheet to our CPA every year which shows the source and converted income based on exchange rate.
  11. No. If that was the case, you wouldn't have to carry your marriage certificate to tie the Green Card (new name) to the passport (old name). Right now, you should carry your marriage certificate to connect the dots between your Green Card and your passport. Nothing is required regarding your Green Card after renewing a passport.
  12. 1. It usually depends on several factors....If there is a tax treaty between the US and your wife's home country, it is probably worth amending. Just remember her income will include all world-wide income regardless of where the income was earned. 2. File a 1040X. It is not difficult. 3. You list it as her income. You must list it in US Dollars using the IRS average exchange rate (her country) for the tax year.
  13. That is not true in all cases. Our immigration officer gave me the option of staying in the room when wife naturalized. You could contact USCIS and report that you are not im marital union. He is subject to later de-naturalization at any time. Stay safe and seek happiness for yourself.
  14. NVC will close the case after a year...You can keep the case open indefinitely by contacting NVC at least once a year.
  15. Cannot connect to VJ from IP 24.153.212.134. I can connect using a VPN. Thanks for checking.....
  16. You must meet (in person) again before filing an I-129f.
  17. Was it a refusal or a denial? Did you get a 221g or any paperwork?
  18. Welcome to the forums. One can avoid mistakes if they: 1. Become an "A" student of the process. 2. Become an "A" student of the forms which are required.
  19. Longer and more frequent visits will put her on CBP's radar.......and if they even suspect she is abusing her B visa, they can immediately revoke it, and send her home......she could even be banned for 5 years. Short infrequent visits is the safer route. On another note, staying 6 months is dangerous because any delay and overstay will immediately and automatically void her B2. Common Rule of Thumb: If she stays 6 months, then she should remain outside the US for a 6 months to a year before re-entering.
  20. Possibly. Frequent and/or long trips to the US as a visitor can trigger more scrutiny and or a suspicion that a person is trying to live in the US without a proper visa. Who is applying this pressure? The attorney who wants to make thousands of dollars by filling in some immigration forms?
  21. You can travel alone with a passport and a Green Card. However, having your legal name on ALL documents might make entry quicker.
  22. Agree. Occasionally, practicality trumps principle.
  23. You would still have to turn it in at the citizenship oath ceremony.....Who know, they might still send you one...😄
