Yes. Actually from March 22, 2007 and before applications.

So what happens is you email the consular to ask for DCF processing (aka I-130 acceptance in exigent circumstances, employment change for example), they say ok and tell you to come see them (with or without your new spouse) - you come with completed forms and form of payment and once you have the approval (could be verbal on the spot like we had decades ago, could be via email as it seems to be the norm these days), they'll email you and beneficiary for next steps - DS-260, Affidavit of support, paperwork from beneficiary (medical exam, birth certificate, marriage certificate, any divorce certificate(s), police and court certificates... before they schedule the interview - this all could take couple of months but after approval you don't need to remain in the country, you can head to the US. Don't know about job loss (hopefully doesn't happen), I imagine the process would still go on but you'd need a joint sponsor?

W2 is what you get once you've been working for a company already so that's not something you'd be able to get before end of January next year. For a new job offer, it's the offer from HR on the company letterhead that's needed that lists your offered position, terms of contract - length, start date, location, $$ per year or hr...

I wouldn't reschedule but I also wouldn't do a medical exam until closer to when you expect to receive the missing paperwork.

I find the doctor in this substack very informative on all things, this one is about statins: https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/what-can-statins-teach-us-about-the Wish we had normal not pharma think with other doctors...

Good to know though I doubt it. In any case, you're not really answering questions asked. But do let us know how your naturalization goes...

I'd love to know if OP is claiming his kids on the US taxes.

I for one, will never start taking them. That has always been such a scam - lowering the cutoff numbers for cholesterol so they can sell more, without taking into consideration the status of the person in front of you - no way. Same for the blood pressure - more meds needed to be sold - bring down the numbers so you can get more people on them. No one ever mentioning nutrition, fitness, losing weight, - staying away from HFCS laden drinks, sugar in everything (in bread, really?), portion control.

You can file I-865 even if you still haven't filed I-864.

Marry (Utah online marriage?) and file for spousal visa. K-1 and CR-1 are perhaps two months difference BUT K-1 needs marriage within 90 days of entry, then adjustment of status before one gets a green card. CR-1 goes straight to green card upon entry to the US, can work from day 1, and that much faster to get naturalized.

I'd still apply as planned, but provide pictures of both green cards (and any immigrant visa you had in your passport) with a short explanation - someone obviously wasn't paying attention when they issued your 10-yr card.

It's not USCIS' fault you didn't provide everything needed for them to approve the petition and didn't respond to RFE. That's on the petitioner. You can try to fight it but that's $700 and given that it wasn't their fault it's just money down the drain. File a new petition and do it right this time. Yes, more $ and more wait time but hopefully this time you'll pay close attention to what all is needed so you don't get an RFE.

Your sister can file a new petition for you - make sure to include ALL required documents as part of the petition. It will be close to 20 years before you get an immigrant visa so keep that in mind.

When in doubt, go with what the US Embassy says - certificate of marital status.

Well there is a numerical limit of H1B visas per year and the USCIS does decide in a lottery which companies will get the numbers. Not the same as DV lottery.

Not if you have a payment plan with IRS and a joint sponsor.

I just can't - the audacity. I liked the judge - very down to earth, not taking it from the public defender - 3-4 weeks adjournment, for what, so he can drive some more around? In to the prison you go...

I never said that. You'd want to get your children certificate of citizenship after you receive their passports. Look over the form on uscis.gov.

No, don't pay the fees. Just bring them to post office and apply for their passports (check for appointments ahead of time and bring your naturalization certificate). All other passport requirements for minors are listed on travel.state.gov under passports.

Team two bedrooms here - husband wants to freeze in 55 degree room - you go right ahead. I like my bedroom where I'm not shivering and having to be under a pile of blankets.

Not easy for Syrians to get into Jordan. Beirut processes them for tourist visas - so Beirut would be a better choice.

It's quite simple really. He makes enough or above the required amounts for your household size (form is I-864p that will tell you the numbers)? Yes? If your spouse hasn't already done this, he needs to do it: 1. download most recent tax return from irs.gov - tax transcript 2. get his W-2 3. complete the I-864 form and sign it when needed 4. If he works for an employer, he should get a letter verifying his annual salary - or he can provide several of most recent paystubs 5. IMPORTANT - if he's a USC, he can provide copy of his passport or his BC, or his DL - will also show he's residing in the US.

Pay attention to instructions for I-130 for children. They'll want to see proof of contact and relationship.

I also didn't wait the 10 days - walked in maybe 2-3 days later?

And bring the original certificate of naturalization! They'll make their own copy and update her record in the system.
