Proof of income and assets
Mike E replied to Lady Rain's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
If you have income why don’t you have a tax return or tax return transcript? -
Did George Santos lie about everything?
Mike E replied to laylalex's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
This reminds me when a coworker changed some slow software and said: “it feels faster”. It “feels” like Santos lies more but no one has measured it. The SANTOS Act in its finished product will allow us to concretely eject members of Congress who lied, and I urge its passing. -
Did George Santos lie about everything?
Mike E replied to laylalex's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Python did have regular comediennes in the cast in addition to the men in drag. The go fund me story has all the markings of a hoax. So much attention on Santos. People must want to date him. -

https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/civil-surgeons/gonorrhea.html All applicants aged 18 to 24 years must be tested for evidence of gonorrhea. Applicants aged less than 18 years or greater than 24 years must be tested if there is a reason to suspect infection with gonorrhea. …. For asymptomatic applicants without risk factors, a urine specimen (men or women) or a self-collected vaginal swab (women) must be used for the NAAT. -
NVC process step by step (merged)
Mike E replied to zafi's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
yes. NVC can accept it. I-864s involving self enjoyment income are more complicated and harder than those using W-2s. You have to convince NVC and the consulate there is enough. I’ve read that SE tax, bank deposits (hopefully she has a bank account dedicated to her business), prior income tax returns can help -
There is another option. If you google for Canadian passport photo online you will find outfits that will will let you upload a photo. They then take it from there and ship you your photos with the stamp on the back. "Does this meet the spirit and letter of the regulation" you ask? Well it depends on what a photographer is. A photographer is someone who prescribes the art of producing images from electromagnetic waves. I'm sold.

Definitely. 2 working days after POE and before getting married, a K-1 should always apply for an SSN. Apply for a learner's permit while there are 60 or more days left on the I-94.

Yes, too many times. I am scarred for months after each renewal. I once tried to get Canadian passport photos done at Walgreens. They did manage to find the sizer. The photos were rejected for reasons other than. Walmart could also do them, but the background wasn't light enough. I've actually never had a passport photos from Walgreens for U.S. or Canadian passports ever be accepted. The last two times time I did it, I went to the professional photographer at Sears. Of course Sears is pretty much gone. Maybe JC Penny is still around. Any true professional photographer with digital photography skills should be able to do this. The photographer doesn't sign the back of the photo. Per https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/renew-adult-passport/renew-us.html#documents It also doesn't say the photographer has to be professional. I think the next time I get one done, I will ask a neighbor to take a photo with their smart phone and text it to me. Then I will get it printed myself at Walgreens. Then cut it. Then ask the neighbor to write name, address, and date down. As long as it is not more that 6 months old, no problem. I had one passport renewal where they allowed Canadians in the USA to use USA passport standards. That was so stress reducing. Made up for the being required to find a doctor to be my guarantor. Thank goodness that stupidity is finally gone (for renewals). Now it is just find two references.

CRBA/Application for a passport
Mike E replied to Chesterming's topic in Consular Reports of Birth Abroad (CRBA)
Given she seems to have traveled frequently away from the USA, I agree that the consulate probably won't be convinced with under 6 years of social security statements. A private investigator might be able to provide convincing evidence. -
Your automobile insurance agent will know this stuff better than most of us. Since you coming in on a K-1 visa you should want to own the car jointly with your future spouse. Not an insurance agent, but I think the what will happen is: * both names will one on title * both names will be on auto insurance policy as owners * since your spouse will be the primary person in the passenger seat while you are learning to drive, both names will be on auto insurance as drivers If for some reason Michigan law requires a vehicle owner to be fully licensed, then your spouse will have sole title initially, and then when you get your full license, you can be added.

See also https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2019-Mar/2019 Carrier Information Guide - ENGLISH.pdf Child born abroad to an accompanying parent after issuance of an immigrant visa to the parent but before the parent’s initial admission as an immigrant may be boarded as long as the child has a passport and birth certificate. So CBP is not telling airlines to ask if the child is a U.S. citizen. And that is all I am going to say.

Assuming all of these are true: * the child will not be born a U.S. citizen, * your visa is in your hands before the child is born * the visa hasn’t expired when your child has a passport and birth certificate in hand the child does not need a visa. See https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/after-the-interview/child-born-after-visa-issuance/ (don’t get hung up on the uk part of that url. The law is the same across embassies.) If your child is born after the issuance of your immigrant visa s/he will not need a visa to accompany you provided you both travel within the period of validity of your visa. You are required to carry a copy of your child’s long-form birth certificate for presentation to an immigration officer at the port of entry, together with a valid travel document for the child. … Please note: If the child’s natural parent is a U.S. citizen, your child could have claim to American citizenship and his/her eligibility for citizenship must be determined before traveling 1. When does your visa expire? 2. how fast can you get a birth certificate that meets the requirements of https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html for the child’s country of birth? 3. how fast can you get a passport for your child after you get the birth certificate?

at oath you lose your gc. Whether it is same day, next day, same week, next week, same month, next month, same year, next year, same decade, next decade, same century, next century, same eon, next eon If you haven’t yet, now is the time to make an electronic copy, front and back of your gc. Versus scrambling to do it at the oath venue while the ISO comes with a bucket to collect green cards dunno off the top of my head. Let’s see https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/citlist.php?op6=All&op7=Indianapolis+IN&op1=8&op2=&op4=1&op5=5%2C10%2C11&cfl= It seems like same day oath isn’t done there. Mention it to the ISO at the interview
-
Only if they have same day oath. You can decline the same day oath. Same day oath or not, you can inform the ISO of your travel plans and you will get at least one opportunity to take oath after you return.

These two replies contradict each other. Well I can predict. And mine is it will be an issue. I predict: * At the interview, the ISO will see that you filed for divorce while a joint I-751 filing is in progress * The ISO won’t find anything in writing from USCIS that says: * if you have something in writing from USCIS that says “it shouldn't be an issue” then I predict that ultimately you will prevail. * otherwise I think best case your N-400 case goes into a lengthy review * worst case a denial because USCIS will claim you should have switched I-751 to a divorce waiver filing * worster case recission of your 10 year gc and you file I-751 again, this time under a divorce waiver My impression is that The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 that forced INS to introduce I-751 hasn’t provided a lot of guidance to INS and now USCIS on your situation. The infamous Neufeld memo (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/memos/i-751_Filed_ Prior_Termination_3apr09.pdf ) comes the closest to your situation. And if you read between the lines, you were expected to inform USCIS that you were divorcing. If you did, then legally you are good to go. But if you did inform USCIS over the phone to a tier 1 (aka a pail of rocks) officer, you will have trouble proving it. I think if you are willing to spend the money on the legal fees, you will win. If you want to be a citizen you’ve no choice but to try to file N-400. If you plan to petition a relative for a green card, I would file N-400 so that you get ahead of this issue now versus your relative getting N-400 denied when the ISO reviews your I-751 file.

Petitioner Living Abroad/I-134
Mike E replied to EmilyEC's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Yes and yes and you should do IR-1 instead. Get married now using Utah county web service marriage aka soon wedding -
it was a miracle that you got a B visa. Most people who are eligible for esta are denied a B visa which means esta is gone forever which means a B visa is gone. You rolled the dice and got snake eyes. Now you are trying to draw an inside straight. Don’t risk your B visa. Go home well before your I-94 expires.
