    Yes. And refuse to sign I-407. File your tax returns, document the abuse, come home.

    My understanding is that adults citizens who apply for an SSN require a CRBA, U.S. birth certificate, or a work authorization document issued by USCIS such as a certificate of citizenship. You can file N-600

    This is an I-151 green card and not an I-551. So it is not valid for boarding a flight to the U.S. File I-90 online to start the process to replace the card and meanwhile figure out how to get to a port of entry. Be sure to have a reason for the 25 year absence and evidence of maintaining ties to the U.S. See what happens. 25 years is just a number. 2.5 years and 25 years are both > 2 years, The greater than 2 year absence is the problem, and yet we see time after time, CBP rarely cares. However saying that a card is expired when it does not even have an expiration date makes we wonder what else I am not being told.

    No Do you have a certificate of citizenship? No There is no SSN back log. You are being lied to.

    Might not be the best choice. Helena might be better: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/799298-n-600k-complete-experienceprocess-canada-to-usa/

    It does not matter what they asked. What matters is that you had immigration intent when you filed F-1. Your case is not DIY. Find a good lawyer

    It says you “should” provide the evidence. Online N-600K is a new one on me. Possibly USCIS does not have it right. You could skip it and see what happens or you could upload a note stating you will provide I-94 once the appointment is set and the applicant is in the U.S. What field office are you selecting?
  8. Mike E
    Not how N-600K works, per my understanding.
  9. Mike E
    True. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-resources/handbook-for-employers-m-274/60-evidence-of-status-for-certain-categories/61-lawful-permanent-residents-lpr “No expiration date. We issued these cards from January 1977 to August 1989.” The gc expired 25 years ago. Tte gc would have been valid for 10 years. So: 2023 - 25 - 10 = 1988 So the gc has no expiration date. The credibility of this story is at the breaking point and I am close to getting out.
  10. Mike E
    Can you share a screen shot?
  11. Mike E
    Say more. It stretches credibility that he could not find a spare 72 hours to fly to U.S. in a span of 25 years. On what basis did he get his gc?
  12. Mike E
    If she gets 40 hours a week and if she works 52 weeks a year, then her current income is not $30,000 Unfortunately too many petitioners get this wrong and the visa ends up being denied because they under report their current income.
  13. Mike E
    $30K income is marginal. You should be prepared to be a joint sponsor.
  14. Mike E
    USCIS makes errors. If even the interview is scheduled less than 3 years after the “resident since” date, you should reschedule. Do you have a link? My understanding of INA is that person would not actually be a citizen These it is indeed a practical issue.
  15. Mike E
    7 years is nothing She has a good excuse: her gc was never delivered and she thought she needed a gc to fly to the U.S. This is on the U.S. government
  16. Mike E
    File I-90 to get a new gc. While I-90 is pending, fly to Canada, walk into U.S., presenting the original passport with the endorsed DV plus the I-90 receipt. Expect to pay the I-193 fee. Refuse to sign I-407.

    It was a stunning performance by Trump. The studio audience adored him. There is simply no other candidate who could have matched his performance.

    Y’all understand that she is a right wing troll, right?
  19. Mike E
    1. The primary purpose of travel is not to further her education; it is to further develop her relationship with you. 2. It is not clear (to me at least) that her F-1 visa is even valid regardless what expiration date says. She terminated her program of study. So at the very least it seems she would need to go through the process in https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/sevis-help-hub/student-records/transfers/complete-transfer-of-f-1-sevis-record . I would expect DHS to deny. 3. And the scope of that was visiting on a tourist status. You are trying to use an F visa as a tourist visa.
  20. Mike E
    Misrepresentation is a lifetime ban. Applying for a new F-1 will fail because F-1 is a single intent visa, whereas with her pending K-1 she has already indicated immigration intent. Even if she was currently enrolled in a school in the U.S. with a valid F-1 and I-20, because the pending K-1 is immigration intent, she would likely be denied entry, and possibly get a 5 year ban for an expedited removal.
  21. Mike E
    let the RFE timeout and let the case be denied 33 days from date of denial. If you stay beyond the 33 day deadline you will be out of status. So if you cannot find a new joint sponsor in time, your choice is to leave the U.S. and pursue IR-1 or stay beyond 33 days, thus taking a risk that ICE will not detain you before you file I-485 again. The risk of ICE detaining you is small but not zero. See You should spend your effort finding a new joint sponsor. Once you have one, reply to the RFE if there is time. If there is no time, file a new I-485 during 33 day period of authorized stay after I-485 is denied.

    Start with the free ones

    Assuming OP is a U.S. citizen, wasn’t her cspa age locked in?
  24. Mike E
    It depends on what easily means. 1. She is expected to spend the majority of her days in the U.S. 2. And if she spends 181 or more consecutive days outside the U.S., she is subject to a finding that she abandoned her LPR status. She can file for a re-entry permit (I-131) to address issues 1 and 2.
  25. Mike E
    You can use the mailing address of a U.S. resident. However I am not buying this: I just looked at the form and postal code field in I-864 more than large enough for Indian addresses.
