This old thread suggests people used "Do not know" without issues but I have no personal experience:

My Account - File a form online The portal will tell you what documentation is required - no need to overthink it. There's also no need to have it all figured out before you start - you can save an in-progress application and get back to it later. Typically it will get deleted if you leave it sitting for more than a month without edits. You enter payment info when you submit the application. Again, no need to do it all in one sitting - just start one and play around with it. You have no say over which office does what, interviews/biometrics will usually be at your closest office but the adjudicating officer may be somewhere else. Not needed if the child does not have A-number/account number, all of this is mentioned in the instructions: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-600kinstr.pdf Good luck!

You can't - file a FOIA request with CBP for entry/exit records. They are not perfect so make sure you include all documents you have used such as passport numbers, A-number and Global Entry/NEXUS/... if you have them - otherwise you'll end up with incomplete records.

How did you send it to Brooklyn? N-600K are filed online or by paper to the lockboxes in Phoenix Arizona or Elgin Illinois depending on which state you live in. They will be assigned to service centers based on workload - you have no control over that part.

AOS is not a legal status, while the I-94 for his K-1 is valid he is lawfully present (visa expiry date is irrelevant after entering the US). Assuming I-485 is filed while in lawful status he enters the weird state of "being in a period of authorized stay" until I-485 is approved which is a gray zone of not being lawfully present, but not accruing unlawful presence. Ain't that a mouthful? The STA requirements are a bit vague but suggest that at least EAD is needed - worst case approved I-485 might be needed. 1. Immigration Check (§ 1552.35) The final rule specifies that all flight training students who are not U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or foreign pilots endorsed by the DoD must undergo an immigration check as part of the STA process. The immigration check for a Level 3 STA verifies that the individual is lawfully admitted for permanent residence; a refugee admitted under 8 U.S.C. 1157; granted asylum under 8 U.S.C. 1158; in lawful nonimmigrant status; paroled into the United States under 8 U.S.C. 1182(d)(5); or otherwise authorized to be in or be employed in the United States. A candidate who is not authorized to be in the United States under one of these categories is not eligible for flight training in the United States.

Yes, I had that done with no issues (in Japan). The designated visa medical exam facilities will know how to perform and document titer tests properly.

It would be your US citizen sister that files I-130 for you and I-130 processing time has nothing to do with visa availability. In the August visa bulletin, F4 visas are becoming available for people with priority dates in 2007 - you likely have a 20 year wait ahead.

From I-751 instructions: If you have dependent children who acquired conditional resident status on the same day as you or within 90 days thereafter, then include the names and Alien Registration Numbers (A-Numbers) of these children in Part 5. of Form I-751 in order to request that the conditions on their status be removed as well. If you have dependent children who did not acquire conditional resident status on the same day as you or within 90 days thereafter, or if the conditional resident parent is deceased, then those dependent children must each file Form I-751 separately to have the conditions on their status removed.

I was in the exact same situation, stayed with the same employer but switched countries - having an offer made zero difference so I got to spend 4+ months at the time practicing yoga and exercising more than I ever had before (or since... :)). Having an SSN early is a good idea like everyone already mentioned, even if it is not strictly required, it makes sure your records at the various reporting agencies don't get messed up. For example, everyone knows about the big three credit bureaus that screen for credit scores, but there are plenty of others like ChexSystems that track bank accounts - the sooner you have everything mapped to your SSN the less chance of issues later on. As an example I signed up for an AT&T phone plan as soon as I arrived before I had a valid SSN, so they input a placeholder. 7 years later this still causes issues every time I need to do anything with that plan such as order a new phone. They can probably fix it if I spend enough time on it with an employee that has the right level of access, but so far that has proved elusive...

Unfortunately PA has no reciprocity agreement with Malaysia, only Germany, France, Korea and Taiwan at the moment: https://www.dmv.pa.gov/Driver-Services/Driver-Licensing/Driver-Manual/Chapter-1/Pages/Applying-for-a-Learner's-Permit.aspx#:~:text=International driving permits are strongly,vision test will be administered.

It's always worth applying for Global Entry, expiring conditional GC would not be a cause for denial. Irrespective of your GC expiry chances are your application won't get processed before your trip anyway. It's a bit hit-or-miss how well GE works while you're on expired conditional GC with extension letter - I was able to update my NEXUS registration using the extension letter and used it without issue at land borders, but others have run into issues.

I only have second-hand information from friends moving across from BC into WA where they brought the car back the next day + I'm not 100% sure if they brought the car on their very first entry on immigration visas. I'd suggest calling CBP at your planned POE if possible to get a more authoritative answer. If you're moving to GA which is obviously quite far from the border it is certainly possible that they will require the whole suite of paperwork and possibly a bond to ensure you actually do bring it back to Canada within the allowed year. Depending on how much things you're bringing I'd consider not traveling by car at all, or renting a one-way U-Haul from Canada to the US to save yourself a bit of trouble.

Note that you may not be able to import it without modifications, one example is that TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is mandatory in the US but not in Canada, so many Canadian car models come without the tire sensors as well as the receiver hardware needed to read the sensors - in that case you'd have to add an ugly aftermarket solution with a separate display to pass the requirement...

Easiest would be to tell CBP you're not importing the car and that you'll bring it back to Canada to sell it. You could try to get it registered in the US, but depending on model and value it may not be worth the effort, selling it in Canada is the easiest option by far. https://www.cbp.gov/trade/basic-import-export/importing-car You'll have one year to get that done assuming you have Canadian insurance that covers you in the US, but be aware of the differences in coverage since most Canadian provinces use no-fault insurance where you have to file claims with your own insurance even if you're not at fault. If you don't plan to go back and forth I'd get a car in the US with local insurance ASAP and sell the old one in Canada.

Yeah, unless you sell it for more than you paid for it (unlikely) there are no tax implications - selling it in Canada is the simplest option by far.

No issues, though if she tried to come back into the US with it once more she might get additional questions. It's still one year as long as she has proper insurance. License plates are automatically captured every time you enter by land border, so CBP knows exactly when the car first entered the country. It can still be a hassle to import from Canada to the US, so I'd probably go for selling it in Canada. A small thing like TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) can trip you up since it is mandatory in the US but not in Canada and even new Canadian models can come without the tire sensors as well as the hardware needed to read them.

The instructions seem at least halfway clear - my read is that if you ever lived in the country of your second nationality for more than 6 months you need a police certificate from there in addition to Canada: If you are 16 years of age or older, you must submit a police certificate from the following locations: From ... AND... THEN the applicant needs a police certificate from... the country of nationality if they resided there for more than 6 months is 16 years old or older the police authorities of that locality. the country of current residence (if different from nationality) if they resided there for more than 6 months was 16 years or older at that time the police authorities of that locality. any previous country or countries of residence if residing there for more than 12 months was 16 years or older at that time the police authorities of that locality. any country where arrested for any reason, regardless of how long they lived there was any age at that time the police authorities from place of arrest.

If your friend is a citizen of Germany or Poland she would typically travel to the US on ESTA, no visa required. Even if she were to apply for a B2 visa to stay longer than 90 days you would have nothing to do with it - she needs to qualify entirely on her own merits, there is no sponsorship or similar for tourist visas.

This is the correct answer. Australian citizens only need ESTA.

I would add that if you've been an American Express customer in another country (in good standing obviously) it is trivial to get a card in the US through their Global Relationship program - https://www.americanexpress.com/us/customer-service/global-card-relationship/ based on your history with them rather than actual credit score. Similarly if you've been a customer with HSBC elsewhere you can fairly easily get a credit card through them..

Like many others have suggested, I'd attend the interview if at all possible. I was given a choice if I wanted to do same-day oath or not, every case is obviously different, but there are plenty of cases where people can't get off work very easily and simply can't hang around waiting for a same-day ceremony. Chances are good you'd be able to pick a later date if same-day oath is even on the table given your pending I-751.

I traveled many times on AP for work, no issues. The only downside was that I had to go through secondary screening every single time which took a fair amount of time, especially at land borders. As long as you're only out of the country for short periods you'll be perfectly fine, you just want to make sure you don't miss biometrics or interviews and respond to RFEs in a timely fashion. Personally I wouldn't stay out of the country on AP for longer than a week or two.

In addition to the points raised in the other posts - is this a matter of the daughter wanting her mom closer or the mom actually wanting to be closer to the daughter? Me and my wife are both naturalized citizens from different countries/cultures, but none of our parents (while they were alive) would have wanted to come to the US leaving their social networks behind. Granted, in some cultures family is everything but in our case they would have been miserable here, not to mention healthcare was better at home anyway.

Not filing I-751 within the 90-day window before expiration is a big deal. From 8 CFR § 216.4: Termination of status for failure to file petition. Failure to properly file Form I–751 within the 90-day period immediately preceding the second anniversary of the date on which the alien obtained lawful permanent residence on a conditional basis shall result in the automatic termination of the alien's permanent residence status and the initiation of proceedings to remove the alien from the United States. In such proceedings the burden shall be on the alien to establish that he or she complied with the requirement to file the joint petition within the designated period. Form I–751 may be filed after the expiration of the 90-day period only if the alien establishes to the satisfaction of the director, in writing, that there was good cause for the failure to file Form I–751 within the required time period. If the joint petition is filed prior to the jurisdiction vesting with the immigration judge in removal proceedings and the director excuses the late filing and approves the petition, he or she shall restore the alien's permanent residence status, remove the conditional basis of such status and cancel any outstanding notice to appear in accordance with § 239.2 of this chapter. If the joint petition is not filed until after jurisdiction vests with the immigration judge, the immigration judge may terminate the matter upon joint motion by the alien and the Service. Your friend may well have lost LPR status already...

If you used the most recent version of the I-485 form there are two items (16 and 17) on it for having SSA issue a social security number if you don't have one - this option was not available in the past. It's basically USCIS forwarding your info to SSA, but I'm not sure at what stage of the process they do that.
