    Nice, at that rate you might even end up interviewing too early if you filed as the 90-day window opened up...

    The instructions are pretty specific that tax info is only needed if you owe any overdue federal, state or local taxes. If you don't I wouldn't bother. Personally I would not have mentioned a parking ticket, but that's just my interpretation - it would not result in any type of criminal record unless you don't pay it. It seems to me like you've disclosed the speeding ticket properly, that's all I would have done myself.

    Opinions vary on this, for the early stages of the immigration process I'm all for providing as much info as possible since an RFE likely adds months to an already slow process and may prevent you from working or traveling. For N-400 I personally think the bare minimum is just fine, worst case you'll get an RFE and delay becoming a citizen for a bit, but unless need citizenship for a job or to vote there are no practical consequences and you save time and effort.

    This _should_ be sufficient. Interestingly the CBP carrier guide only talks about expired conditional cards on pages 2 and 33, that could cause added confusion so definitely allow lots of extra time at airport if staff need to call around for verification: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

    I hope she is aware that she needs to file a US tax return even if she's outside the country and include income earned in Lebanon? There is a tax treaty between the US and Lebanon so she should be able to avoid double taxation. As for sponsors - a third party sponsor needs to be a US resident, either citizen or LPR.
  12. NorthByNorthwest
    How long will she be outside the US? Current PD for F2A visas is January 2022, so if she petitions for you now the wait time is likely at least 3-4 years. I can't speak to the part about filing while outside the US, especially if she is LPR and not citizen - I would think this would attract extra scrutiny at the very least.

    To add to this, if you think you already have one of the vaccinations but lack records, the clinic can typically do an antibody test which will serve as proof of already having taken a certain vaccine.

    This is fine, you can start an application and leave it unfinished until you are ready to submit as long as you touch it at least once / month, otherwise it gets deleted and you have to start over. The system will tell you which documents to include, but given your recent separation/divorce the other comments have some valid concerns.

    I don't believe there would be an I-877 issued for voluntary withdrawal, and you don't need to mention it to other countries if they are just asking if you have ever been denied entry to any country since it is not a denial per se and it has no negative consequences by itself. There will however be a CBP encounter record showing the circumstances of why you chose to voluntarily withdraw, and the DS-160/260 specifically asks about it, and the circumstances will be considered when issuing a new visa.
  16. NorthByNorthwest
    Was it a formal denial with an I-877 issued, or just a voluntary withdrawal of your application for admission? A voluntary withdrawal still needs to be disclosed and explained on DS-260 but it's always good to be clear on the difference.
  17. NorthByNorthwest
    There's no such thing as a lengthy I-94, each one pertains to one admission. The lookup will only show your most recent I-94. You may be confusing this with the travel history lookup, those are two different things. In any case, you should be seeing results from both, especially if it worked previously with the same passport number. Since you mentioned you are not actually in the US, I have seen reports of lookup issues related to browser time zones, you can try adding or subtracting one day to your DOB and see if that makes any difference for you.
  18. NorthByNorthwest
    These systems do have glitches, but you should see something. I just tried it and can still see my last I-94 from 2017 just before becoming LPR with DT category as expected. Are you typing your name exactly as written in the MRZ of your passport? E.g. for given name you add _all_ your given names since Europe usually does not distinguish between given names and middle names. Also, do you get anything if you look up your travel record page vs. the I-94 lookup page?

    This page shows the prerequisites to be licensed as a registered nurse in New York State. https://www.op.nysed.gov/professions/registered-professional-nursing/license-requirements/pathway-5 Without a license it is unlikely that you would be considered for any such roles or visa sponsorship.

    In my case they didn't ask any of that, most of the interview time was spent going through the "Have you ever" section as well as verifying some additional travel since the application, I had over 100 trips outside the US in total for the 5 years.
  23. NorthByNorthwest
    ...and to answer your actual question - yes, they will typically go through pretty much all of the "Have you ever..." questions on the form.
