  1. In before the lock. The current law just enables fraud. The law starts off by saying: you can remove donations if you are still married 2 years later. Then laws but there is a waiver if you get divorced. Thats pretty much how the skilled fraudster works it and the best just arrive in the USA never to be seen by their petitioner spouse again. Pointless. Whereas before IRCA, INS was known to drop in on married couples unannounced, years after the fact, to see if they were still in a state of marital union. Get rid of the law or get rid of the divorce waiver.
  2. Some people do the mixed case / concatenate thing: Joe Robert Jones Smith ==> First name: Joe Middle name: Robert Surname: JonesSmith
  3. If this were DIY, I’d send a copy of divorce decree. USCIS is now issuing 3 year extension letters. So that gives you an idea of what to expect.
  4. USCIS has started to issue 3 year extension letters. So 3 years is the new expected amount of time.
  5. Your passport’s IR-1 was stamped correct? You are an LPR. Matters not if CBP thinks otherwise. At any hypothetical removal trial you would prevail. Make a complete electronic copy of your passport, and boarding passes, if this worries you.
  6. These are great ideas, but USCIS has to work within the constraints of Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. IRCA introduced removal of conditions. A plastic, credit card size extension document that extends a 2 year card by 100 years would work.
  7. The question in the topic’s title thread has been answered: no. So we can close the thread, right?
  8. You entered on an Indian passport. I don’t see how you can expect CBP to change the passport of entry to Canadian, especially when at the time you entered the USA: * you weren’t even a Canadian when you entered the USA * you didn’t have a Canadian passport. What date of issue is CBP supposed to use for a passport issued after you enter? If CBP routinely altered records like this, more countries would require Americans to get a visa. Speaking of putting a county’s visa waiver at risk, I’m still reeling from the revelation that Canada lets PRs take oath from outside Canada. After you leave the USA, you can correct your I-94 record if it still shows you in the USA. https://help.cbp.gov/s/questions?language=en_US
  9. You are an LPR and you can stay beyond the heat death of the universe. Welcome home. As for I-94 travel record, it’s been a hot mess for at least some LPRs for years.
  10. Well actually you asked a question about that. So I answered it. All the source material, such as the Lao Embassy, are written in a Brahmic script that I cannot read.
  11. Yes I was thinking of you. Considering the backlog (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/data/Quarterly_All_Forms_FY2022_Q4.pdf ) for I-751 is over 270,000 cases and grew by 12,000 cases in FY2022 (ended September 30, 2022), it must take dozens to print that many letters, and stuff them in envelopes. And these letters have to be on water marked paper. It probably costs at least $20 per letter. Call it $6M. If an ISO is paid $50 / hour in wage and benefits, then 16 hours of work per case with $6M means: 6,000,000 / ( 32 * 50) = nearly 4000 additional cases they could be doing per year, out of the 109,000 they did last FY.
  12. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_citizenship has no information on Laos https://www.multiplecitizenship.com/wscl/ws_LAOS.html you will lose citizenship of Laos if you become a U.S. citizen.
  13. They should just issue 8 * 12 = 96 month extension letters. Glad they didn't bother with 30 month letters. Can imagine the average airline employee figuring out how to add 30 months to an expiration date. As it is, I expect 10 percent of airline employees won't know that 36 months = 3 years.
  14. I would instead go to https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do , click on “Did not receive notice by mail” and go from there.
  15. Arizona senators Barry Goldwater and John McCain were known for being out of step with their party and the national consensus: aka mavericks. Arizona Senator Sinema has cemented her Arizona maverick status, not by becoming an Independent, or refusing to kill the filibuster, but by dressing as a sheep: My new state of residence has become wacky. https://news.yahoo.com/sen-kyrsten-sinema-dressed-sheep-200300493.html You have to marvel at the staying power of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. How long can she keep up this magical mystery tour, this brilliant burst of light and color? This week she was at the alpine headquarters of Specter, the global confab of the World Economic Forum, where Klaus Schwab, the Ernst Blofeld of our times, strokes a white feline and spreads his tentacles across the globe. …. https://news.yahoo.com/sen-kyrsten-sinema-dressed-sheep-200300493.html
  16. depends on when your interview is. It seems like most new applications are happening in under 4 months. The majority of USCIS’s staff work on N-400s now. You should be creating your online irs.gov account to get 3-4 of them, and downloading them. Those 3-4 should be uploaded with your N-400 applications. The remaining 1-2 can be ordered from the IRS and your should steer now. The receipt for the order should also be uploaded with your N-400 application. If you are doing an online application, note that USCIS.gov is partially functional most weekends. I would not submit N-400 until Tuesday, and would not Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
  17. Dunno. What’s your country of birth? Well does it? Pretty easily actually. For example: Most of the countries I’ve traveled to have passport control officers staffing ports of exit, including flights departing their international airports. When you present your passport of that country and your boarding pass for a U.S. bound flight, to the officer, the officer might flip through your passport asking you where your visa is to travel to the USA. If you are suspected of being a U.S. citizen you could get a secondary inspection. If they find your U.S. passport then you are subject to arrest, indictment, conviction, sentence, and prison.
  18. Then why is the below the only other option? ..,, Isn’t the best option to file until the day before leaving the USA? I am utterly puzzled by this thread.
  19. Thus is one case ever I would advise port shopping. I would not go through Dublin or any preclearance airport. I’d fly to the USA with my U.S. citizen spouse for a morning arrival and have a lawyer at the ready for your spouse to call.
  20. File I-485, I-765, I-131, I-864W, I-693 now. If he reaches age 17 without a decision, expedite so that his U.S. citizenship is secured. He needs I-485 to be approved before age 18 to automatically be a U.S. citizen.
