Why would the U.S. pay reparations to Welshmen for bad things the English did to them? While I agree that people in Colorado have suffered greatly under the heels of Emperor Polis, their presence there was voluntary.

We were faced with a problem where we needed 3 essential documents from Burma to file and the runway was short. We asked our lawyer what happens if we file late. She made a pained face and said “well ICE won’t come the first week” . Translation: in her 25 year career she had a case where ICE came the second week. We got our I-485 receipt before day 90. If you must file late, the beneficiary should minimize leaving the home, especially in neighborhoods where Border Patrol operates.

Reviewing the thread: who suggested it was?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_Tans “The Black and Tans gained a reputation for brutality and became notorious for reprisal attacks on civilians and civilian property, including extrajudicial killings, arson and looting. Their actions further swayed Irish public opinion against British rule and drew condemnation in Britain.” I had a woke employer that named projects after alcoholic beverages. Project Black and Tan was proposed on a Friday and was dead by Sunday night. Woke never sleeps.

1. I am not an Englishman so I do not care. Still I am a commonwealth citizen, so if I happen to be at Heathrow on a layover (the only time I would ever visit the UK) during the national reparation referendum, I will go to the nearest polling station and vote for this, as is my right, and it would amuse me. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_citizen 2. Whoosh. “It is just a number”. Tax credits are against tax on taxable income. If people are marginalized they aren’t working. So £1T costs England nothing. If they suddenly start working, again it costs England nothing and might even be a net gain, since they will be drawing less dole.

Here is the problem with your plan. So lets say you filed N-600K today. Odds of the interview being held before you your husband’s IR-2 interview is scheduled are under 10 percent. But if it happens: great! Otherwise … Once NVC schedules your husband’s interview you stating an intent to move to the U.S. If the N-600K interview is before your husband’s interview, I would expect the ISO to state the obvious: * N-600K is for “Children who regularly reside outside the United States” “in the physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent”. * Your husband and you are planning to move to U.S. * How is your daughter eligible to a certificate of citizenship? If the N-600K interview occurs after your husband’s IR-2 interview then not only will the N-600K be questioned, but the ISO might question if your husband or your made a material misrepresentation on his IR-1 case. New plan: File I-130 for husband and daughter, today. To hedge your bets, file N-600K too. If the N-600K interview is before both IR-1 and IR-2 (for your daughter) are scheduled, great. You can say because you cannot control when both husband and daughter will get an immigration visa, and because either all three of you move to U.S. at they same time or none move, your claim that your daughter remains a child “who regularly reside outside the United States” “in the physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent” is valid. After she gets her certificate of citizenship, cancel her I-130, and IR-2 interview. File for her U.S. passport book and card as urgent travel to rejoin your husband Because your daughter is a child “who regularly resides outside the United States” “in the physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent”

Depends on when you plan to start the process for your husband. So when? How old is your daughter? N-600K is a shiny object that rarely makes sense How old were you when your father went back to the U.S. ?

I actually agree. The least important aspect is the $800B. The only important aspect is whether reparations are owed. At the time slaves were freed, reparations should have been paid to people who were slaves. Average wage for a laborer was $6 / week. Figure 30 years of unpaid labor. Works out to $8000 that should have been paid out. Those people are dead. A handful are around whose parents were slaves (e.g. a man age 10 in 1860, sires a daughter at age 60 in 1920. That woman is 103 today). There are about 100,000 people aged 100+ in the U.S. so figure 10,000 black centenarians alive today. $8000 in year 1860 dollars is $290,000 in year 2023 dollars. $2.9B year 2023 dollars. I am tired of this issue. Just pay it. That will not mollify the mob. 4,000,000 slaves in 1860. That works out to $28B in year 1860 dollars or $1T in year 2023 dollars. About 48M black people in the U.S. Again I am tired of this issue. So I am actually ok with paying out an average of $20,000 to every black person in this country. I would structure it this way: * Congress provides a $1T reparation tax credit. It is easy: it is just a number. * Every person claiming to be black is given 1 year to make a claim. * At the end of the year number of claims are divided into $1T * Each claimant filing a tax return gets to claim their reparation credit as a tax credit. * The credit is for life and unused credits pass to next tax year and ultimately to heirs. * Once the $20,000 is used up, it is over.

SpaceAge stopped posting to visa journey and I presume her immigration journey ended, even after she bonded out of jail. Once ICE gets involved, the legal expenses are prohibitive. SpaceAge made the same mistake others make: she was waiting for that one extra document to file. She did not need to wait. ICE does not have to forgive unauthorized presence and unauthorized work.

Over sharing can and has caused problems. This is the visa journey recommended declaration of intent letter: https://www.visajourney.com/examples/Fiance_Letter_of_Intent.doc For I-129F, in addition to the above letter, you just need to list all in person meetings you have had in the 2 years prior to filing I-129F as the answer to item 54. Stated: date from - date to - place of meeting

@JedMills seemed to crack the code

no Wait 5 years. I would not until you are naturalized. If you must, wait at least 180 days. Congrats 🏆

Seems to be a common issue

You have followed the instructions in https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/NewZealand.html ?

Sue the Department of State. Here is a successful result from last week:

You surely signed something at your n-400 interview Yes. The signature you made will be digitized and printed at a 90 degree angle along your photo on your certificate. After oath you sign your certificate at your leisure (but before you apply for a passport) and it should match photo’s signature.

The Los Angeles approach to retail security. @Neonred this is your calling!

Sure you can Given the gun collection, you will fit right in. edit: “roof top Floridians” Once the grocery chains have disappeared, Chicago will depend on Floridians to operate corner grocery stores as LA depends on Koreans.

Now now you are being facetious. Floridians fleeing Ron’s tyranny will jump at the opportunity to start a business there.

@Neonred Chicago might be a better choice for a Floridian than SF.

My understanding from https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/child-status-protection-act-cspa is yes. His age at the time the visa was available was tentatively 21 years and 22 days. The June 2021 visa bulletin says that for a November 2019 filing, F2A was unambiguously current and so his visa was available on the day I-130 was approved. So his age at the time his visa was available was definitely 21 years and 22 days. His CSPA age is 21y22d - pending time. If pending time is 23 days or more then his CSPA age is less than 21. His pending time is the difference between Priority Date : November 25, 2019 and I-130 Approval Date : June 22, 2021 I do not need a date calculator to see that the pending time exceeds 23 days. Legally, his CSPA age is locked in at under age 21, and so legally F2A is locked in. I have seen some of such cases get switched to F2B at the time of or after the interview is finally scheduled. I do not believe it makes any difference at that point.

Indeed. So … … Unfortunately not.

Only ones that would earn a spot in the penalty box.

Last year an ISO gave an AMA on reddit and said newer ISOs prefer online. Given high employee turnover at USCIS, online is statistically going to be a better experience. Online is full of glitches though. Since you have been an LPR for 8 years, you are surely immune from biggest glitch: people filing online 90 days before their 3/5 year anniversary when the USCIS computer’s real time clock is wrong.
