  1. These should be IRS tax return transcripts I don’t see the point of this since it is just his business Letters from relatives aren’t compelling imho. Are the friends and coworkers U.S. citizens? I don’t see the point of these. Do these bookings show both names?
  2. Generally yes we have. In my case that was a notice to take oath of citizenship. Are you sure that isn’t what your notice says?
  3. This is going to be a hard comment for you to read. I am sorry. There is a two year gap between the filing date and final action date for F2B Philippines. It is strange and unfortunate the state department has such a large gap since it leads to high expectations and raises false hopes in cases like your uncle’s. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2021/visa-bulletin-for-december-2020.html F2B Philippines was August 2011 in December 2020. So roughly the date moves 2 months every 24 months of real time. March 2012 minus October 2011 is 5 months. 5/2 * 24 = 60 months or 5 more years. This is a guess based on past performance. I will say that some categories in the visa bulletin make sudden progressions. Some categories also make sudden retrogressions. I wish USCIS and DoS told everyone waiting each month how many people are ahead of them in line.
  4. Not sure records of an adult child of an LPR would be compelling as “immediate” in immigration jargon usually means spouse and children under age 21. Anyway your online social security earnings records would be a start. These have been used with success to prove physical presence of citizens trying to transmit citizenship to children born abroad. If you were in a K-12 school while she was an LPR in the past 5 years, then I would think your school records would be compelling. Did she work full time while she was an LPR in the past 5 years? Her social security earnings record would be compelling.
  5. Not just K. All categories are that are legally defined as immediate relatives of US citizens can be scheduled appointments because there are no annual numerical limits of numbers of those visas. Because your grandmother is a green card holder, your uncle is not an immediate relative of his U.S. citizen petitioner. Even she was a U.S. citizen, assuming he is older than age 21, he would legally not be an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen petitioner.
  6. The petitioner (the person who filed I-129F) can send a letter to the service center, noting the issue. The letter should include: * case number * name of beneficiary * name of petitioner Included with the letter should be the new photo and a copy of the I-129F receipt aka NOA1
  7. @Nesah I gave you advice to get a detailed social security record. You should take a look at https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/769109-i-successfully-got-crba-and-passport-for-my-baby/ where the U.S. citizen parent provided just the basic online earnings record from SSA.gov, IRS tax transcripts (online, IME only the last 3-4 years are available, passport stamps, and a college degree). That seems like a reasonable standard of evidence, though every consulate and consular officer is different.
  8. Of course it is Chevron. After the February 1, 2021 coup (timed to kick off after Trump left office so that a true friend of despots would be in charge of the White House) activists across the world (including the wife of yours truly and yours truly) spent months picketing Chevron sites to pressure them to stop operating in Burma. We succeeded and Chevron pulled out. With no help from Biden. Now these cretins are doing new business with another brutal dictator and this time with Biden’s explicit blessing. If you want to see more Venezuelans perish in the desert of southern Arizona this is how you see more Venezuelans perish in the desert of southern Arizona. Those of you who still live in the SF Bay Area should visit Chevron’s beautiful San Ramon campus. Bought and paid for by Chevron fat cats and Democrat lobbyists who steal oil from people who live under brutal dictators. Biden is beyond disgusting
  9. And yet DoS still asks for social security records. Hoof beats horses zebras … Fortunately most U.S. citizens with work history have work history that predates March 1, 2020. Except that most k-12 kids during Covid era attended via zoom. So I infer from this a prediction that in the future, few will be able to transmit citizenship A pedantic CO could argue that proves nothing. Whereas reasonable COs will apply critical thinking and a standard of proof that is less severe than beyond a shadow of doubt. Otherwise the only people who would be able to transmit citizenship to child born over seas would be those sentenced 5 years to a super max. Or those who waited 5 years for I-485 to be approved and can prove they didn’t get advance parole though an FOIA. There are probably others. Interesting and TIL. Just checked the CBP carrier information guide and there it is. Passport is required in addition to birth certificate. This explains some cases I’ve seen where some claim to have been brought to the USA legally without papers by LPR parents and are now living as illegal aliens. I wonder what percentage of parents fail to follow through with I-130/I-485 in these scenarios. It won’t surprise me if the answer is more than 50 percent.
  10. Given the length of the process to complete a divorce in OP’s country, one hopes that divorce for unmarried people is not an option.
  11. Divorces are for married people. You can (in some jurisdictions) annul, because annulments by definition apply to people who aren’t married.
  12. We didn’t need state mandates to move from * stones to bronze, bronze to iron, iron to steel, steel to composite * human labor to animal labor, animal labor to steam power, steam power to internal combustion power * wood to coal, coal to whale oil, whale oil to fossil oil We don’t need state mandates to move from fossil fuels to renewables. If renewables are better, they will be used because they are better or because fossil fuels will be too depleted which means renewables will be better. Admittedly state mandates to get us off incandescent light bulbs did some good but even there, this exception proved the rule. The state mandated we CFLs for a few years. CFLs are just receptacles of poison (mercury) and they shatter more easily than incandescents. You will notice not even California bothers to have a safe disposal system of these stupidities. We would have moved to LED lights on our own because on the whole LED lights are best. Eventually we will * figure out a renewable energy system that lets the power run at night. We’ve a solar power plant in AZ (Solana) that runs for 6 hours at night because it doesn’t use photovoltaics. Instead mirrors focus sunlight to heat up a toxic molten sludge that powers a steam generator. The sierra club likes it because the plant uses less water per square mile than agriculture. Unfortunately, aside from 6 hours not being enough, the toxic sludge contributes to air pollution when the sludge breaks seals, so it is not a general solution. * dig up all the buried power lines to expand capacity. We dug trenches before to move above ground lines underground. We can do it again. And again and again. * come up with an electric battery solution for vehicles that doesn’t require using using more scarce elements than proven reserves and doesn’t require $20,000 to replace when the battery wears out. Every one of our energy transitions involved profound changes to the energy infrastructure and the free market simply paid for it, because consumers wanted it. And btw in the course of thousands of years of civilization, there have been several changes in regional and global climate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_environmental_historyis fascinating read that summarizes these. Start from the section 10th Millennium BC (now I grant you that the use of BC and not BCE indicates this Wikipedia article was likely written by an white male Nazi Trump voter) and you will see dozens of documented climate changes. Humanity just sucked it up and coped. What we are experiencing in 20th-21st century is nothing new. The laws of physics say it is possible to move to renewables because life itself is powered by renewables. Just let it happen instead of forcing it and it will be OK. Every cloud has its silver lining. A volcano erupts in Hawaii and people say the sky is literally falling. I say, yeah but that means America’s land area is growing.
  13. Read carefully.and ask yourself what @Family was implying in that comment.
  14. No. You are not (and never were) legally married to to your current “wife”. You need to have a second marriage service. You might need to get your current “marriage” annulled first. Then “re”-marry. This unfortunately means no IR-1, unless you wait 2 years after “re”-marriage to get the medical. So CR-1 plus I-751. Or wait 18 months to get a medical and then enter USA at the 2 year “re”-marriage anniversary.
  15. From the article: "Those eligible for the reparations, the taskforce said in a March 2022 report, would be descendants of enslaved African Americans or of a "free Black person living in the United States prior to the end of the 19th century."" Descendants not just relatives. I've got records of my ancestors going back to the early 19th century and they prove nothing. Do they have all the original birth certificates tracing their ancestry? I don't have such records. Do any of you? It's a nothing burger with virtue signalling. California will pay out maybe 5 or 6 people.
  16. Mass infections don't produce herd immunity. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus diameter of a flu virion is 80–120 nanometers and per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS-CoV-2 diameter of a covid virion is 60–140 nanometers. Yet despite both beiing airborne and similar size, masks work on the flu (notice no flu during the mask era) and not on covid-10. No vaccine has produced long term immunity No vaccine prevents transmission Infection doesn't produce immunity A new born with barely an immune system who is infected is orders of magnitude more likely to survive than someone age 60 or higher Why is it that people like my wife and me, who despite zero positive tests and dozens of negative covid tests, aren't being sought for scientific study to produce a vaccine that, (and I'm just spit balling here) works? We are between 1 and 10 percent of the population and not that hard to find and we stand out: we don't mask, we travel on planes, cruise ships, busses, and trains, we dine out, etc. Looks synthetic to me. Looks like an agenda to me. I consider it to be a weapon of mass destruction deliberately unleashed by an enemy.
  17. It occurs to me that wind powered sea craft like sail boats and wind turbine boats will also have this problem. Agreed.
  18. Before the child was born, did the petitioner have: at least 1830 days of physical presence in the U.S.? since reaching age 14, at least 732 days of physical presence in the U.S.? evidence of 1 and 2 (an example of good evidence is 7 years of social security earnings records, see https://www.ssa.gov/forms/ssa-7050.pdf and order the Certified Itemized Statement of Earnings) If 1 and 2 are true and 3 is not, then this is a big problem: the child is not eligible for I-130 yet CRBA or a U.S. passport legally cannot be issued. If either 1 or 2 are false, then file I-130.
  19. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365756898_Offshore_wind_farms_are_projected_to_impact_primary_production_and_bottom_water_deoxygenation_in_the_North_Sea “The wind wake effect of offshore wind farms affects the hydrodynamical conditions in the ocean, which has been hypothesized to impact marine primary production. So far only little is known about the ecosystem response to wind wakes under the premisses of large offshore wind farm clusters. Here we show, via numerical modeling, that the associated wind wakes in the North Sea provoke large-scale changes in annual primary production with local changes of up to ±10% not only at the offshore wind farm clusters, but also distributed over a wider region. The model also projects an increase in sediment carbon in deeper areas of the southern North Sea due to reduced current velocities, and decreased dissolved oxygen inside an area with already low oxygen concentration. Our results provide evidence that the ongoing offshore wind farm developments can have a substantial impact on the structuring of coastal marine ecosystems on basin scales.” IOW putting wind turbines over water kills fish. Hat tip to hot air who in turn got this from blaze. But posting stories from hot air makes the primate community unhappy.
  20. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/home for all service centers disagrees. 80 percent of cases decided between 8 and 15.5 months
  21. Did you get a 24 month extension letter? The I-751 that you filed last year is your application for replacement. You are no longer eligible to file I-90. Filing I-751 makes you ineligible. And filing I-90 to renew a 2 year green card is not lawful and is just a waste of money. Yes. Your LPR status is for life. Only an immigration judge can revoke it.
  22. If you stay and adjust it could be two years before you get a green card, or work authorization, or be able to travel from the USA. You won’t even be able to work for free. You can watch movies, get a hobby, or go to school. If you are ok with that, then adjust. only 1 in 10,000 K-3s are approved. It will be a CR-1. A K-3 also means you cannot work and it also means you have to file to adjust status. It is useless. To whom does “her” refer?
  23. It is enough for now. If there is an I-485 interview, the letter can ask you to bring your husband’s long form U.S. birth certificate The ISO can ask at the interview for this document regardless Work in getting the long form U.S. birth certificate after filing I-485. Also your husband is both petitioner and sponsor. Provide a copy of biographic pages (photo page plus signature page) for I-485 and another copy for I-864.
