SVB was a commercial bank. Big loans and big deposits The venture capitalists who parked money there will take a bath unless Biden and Congress do a 2008 style bail out. Other valley banks got pounded in the stock market, presumably due to fears of more bank runs. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/03/10/first-republic-leads-regional-bank-rout-as-silicon-valley-bank-crisis-raises-fears-about-bond-losses.html “ SVB came under pressure after announcing Wednesday it had lost $1.8 billion on an asset sale and was looking to raise more capital. CNBC's David Faber reported Friday that the fundraising effort had failed and that SVB was exploring a potential sale. But Faber also reported the sale process was becoming difficult because of the rapid outflow of deposits from the bank. At midday Friday, regulators said they were shutting down the bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. would take over insured deposits. ” I’m going to presume most people here are not depositors in commercial banks. The fear of course is that the malaise spreads and mainstream banks get runs.

Apply for citizenship today. There is a better than 50 percent chance he will take oath of citizenship on or before July

He was born before 1983, so he is too old for the child citizenship act of 2000. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-h-chapter-4 “ In general, former INA 321 applies to children who were already 18 years of age on February 27, 2001, but who were under 18 years of age in 1952, when the current Immigration and Nationality Act became effective. In general, a child born outside of the United States to two noncitizen parents, or one noncitizen parent and one U.S. citizen parent who subsequently lost U.S. citizenship, acquires citizenship under former INA 321 if: The child’s parent(s) meet one of the following conditions: Both parents naturalize; One surviving parent naturalizes if the other parent is deceased; One parent naturalizes who has legal custody of the child if there is a legal separation of the parents; or The child’s mother naturalizes if the child was born out of wedlock and paternity has not been established by legitimation. The child is under 18 years of age when his or her parent(s) naturalize; and The child is residing in the United States pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence at the time the parent(s) naturalized or thereafter begins to reside permanently in the United States.” Had his father naturalized after his son became an LPR, the son would be a citizen. But that his father naturalized before his son became an LPR. So yes, N-400

You can try. I think USCIS will deny you. You might be able to sue and win. It won't get you to an oath ceremony any sooner. I'm pragmatic and so: I'm out

Adjustment of status aka I-485 is filed by an alien who meets all the following conditions: Entered the USA legally Is still in the U.S. Is not a lawful permanent resident Per your family members do not meet the conditions.

Because you moved between states in the last 3 months, you aren't eligible to file N-400. When you have 3 months of residency in WA you will be eligible. https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/learn-about-citizenship/naturalization-eligibility

Yeah not seeing the analogy with an employer petition. If an embassy allows petitioners, i take that as a strong signal that petitioners should attend. Agree with OP that coming to the fiancée’s country for moral support is good and it will help her case if the CO asks when was the most recent meeting.

Why? K-1 is predicated on there being a bonafide relationship. The beneficiary will be bringing an I-134 and a claim (such as an employment verification letter) that the petitioner is employed. So even if not asked, whoever attends the interview needs be candid that the petitioner has no income.

Islamabad is fine Adjustment of status isn't applicable to your situation

Get married, father a child in wedlock, enlist in the South African armed forces. That combination puts the probability over 50 percent

The visa is B-2. He just needs to apply. Normally I would expect approval. Given the K-1 history and that he has a child in the U.S., I expect denial

Lets say there is a 95 percent two cases will have visas issued at same time. The probability 6 cases will have visas issued at the same is: 0.95^5 = 77 percent. Or a 27 percent chance at least one visa won’t be issued at the same time. There are enough reports on visa journey of visas for family members not being synchronously issued. With 6 family members it’s reasonable to expect that possibility versus being unprepared. Since real talk is unwelcome, I am out of here

My first occupancy in California 1988-1996: by 1992 I had had enough of the heat waves and installed AC My second occupancy in California 2016-2022: needed to run the AC less than 5 nights that entire 7 year span. This winter in southern AZ we’ve had 4 snowfalls and made snowmen after the last one (last week) There were remnants of snow for most of the weekend. Keeping in mind that AZ has been the warmest state all winter. And I do not need to tell you about the once in a century ice storms that hit Texas every hundredth of a century. I am so tired of the cold weather in this continent.

Whether you think it is feasible does not matter I would expect it and plan for it Understand that once an immigration visa is used, it is a temporary I-551 good for one year. So if your husband’s visa is issued first, he can travel to the U.S., activate his visa, and return to his country to wait for the last kid to get a visa issued He can file I-131 to get a reentry permit If the kids get their visas before their father, if you are the parent listed on their birth certificates, they will become U.S. citizens if they use their visa before age 18. Once they get their U.S. passport you can ferry them back to be with their father.

The only cold war question is: 83. During the Cold War, what was the main concern of the United States? And the answer to that question is the same as as the question you quoted: communism. Legally USCIS can ask only the questions in: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/questions-and-answers/100q.txt We had one ugly N-400 civics test experience reported here. The only way to prevent a rogue ISO, you need to bring a lawyer to the interview.

I’d reply with a copy of the threat letter, and a cover letter that says simply; Bring. It. On. It would be fun to go to immigration court for this. Watching the judge disembowel the USCIS attorney would be worth it.
