  1. Does the latest one represent your prediction of what you will earn in an average week?
  2. The visa is years away. Do file I-130. But file N-400 as soon as eligible. To do so requires you live in the same state for 3 months so plan for a pause in your travel nursing career. Confirmed.
  3. Two good lawyers. The complexity here is whether it is better / required to get the criminal case resolved before proceeding with the visa or not.
  4. The address inconsistencies from your first post make no difference.
  5. Of course. That’s why you want the website’s T&C’s ready to defend your assertion you did not use a broker. That’s good. That is the meeting you need to document in the form (date and place of meeting), and in the evidence (plane ticket receipts, boarding passes, passport stamps, hotel receipts, photos, etc).
  6. This assumes CBP will do an exhaustive examination of the file. IME it does not always. Source: me, standing with my fiancee at SFO after he opened the sealed packet. And with that, I’ve contributed all I can, and I don’t wish to argue or bicker, so I won’t post more in this thread.
  7. Why? 😞 We told you to file sooner. Now to file I-485 you have to wait for F2A to be current. Maybe it will happen in October. Or it might take years.
  8. I am confused. You are posting in the IR-1 forum. This forum is for U.S. citizens and their spouses. You wrote: Are you a U.S. citizen? Are you the petitioner?
  9. Current annual income in your case is the amount of gross income you expect to earn in the next 52 weeks. So number of hours you expect to work in the next 52 weeks multiplied by your hourly wage. Use your previous pay stubs to support your prediction.
  10. 1. Do you live with your spouse? 2. Can you prove it? That is what matters?
  11. You found each other on a website. You did not meet there. Meetings take place in person. good. Print the terms and conditions of that website in case USCIS or DoS ask. Only if you used a broker. You wrote you did not. No. The form makes it clear you do not. You did not use a broker. So no. Do not volunteer anything about web sites.
  12. One might infer you think a CBP officer is familiar with those traditions. To be clear, I do not believe that is the case. The beneficiary and travel companions should also scrub their devices of these photos.
  13. Assuming they are like me and do not post photos to social media, that’s good.
  14. Sure, but I think it reduces the odds of approval. Assets from the petitioner carry higher weight than assets from a joint sponsor.
  15. This is being unfair. 1. more Democrats in the poll favor reparations than oppose 2. the wrong questuon is being asked. Change it to “do you oppose reparations being paid from a surtax on wealthy of Californians” and I am sure “independent” voters would swing in favor. At $300K per black resident, that works out to less than 750 billion dollars. California has 1.1 million households with net worths of over one million dollars. So this works out to under $700,000 per California millionaire household. That’s about what costs to send one of their kids to an out of state school. This is nothing. California's millionaires can easily afford to pay this pittance, and voters of California need to stop shielding these colonizers.
  16. Statistically my house is not going to burn down. And yet I have had fire insurance on all my homes for the past 40 years. Similarly statistically if OP files N-400 now it, I-751, and the U.S. passport will all be approved and in hand before departing for Australia for the wedding. There is no question about that. For OP, his brother’s wedding is a once in a life time thing. Missing it would be bad. Dealing with an I-751 denial while abroad would be worse. Especially if USCIS informed CBP before it informed OP. Which USCIS is known to do. So that OP can be blind sided at the port of entry. And locked up until an immigration hearing. These are all rare events. And yet they do happen. The fire insurance here is: * WoM to attempt to force I-751 approval before the wedding * delay N-400 so that biometrics, RFEs, interview and/or oath are not scheduled. Absent the wedding, I would file N-400. I’ve contributed all I can, and I don’t wish to argue or bicker, so I won’t post more in this thread.
