Did you file I-407?

In practice the above is rarely true.

120 days after the interview your lawyer can move your case to federal court.

As we do not wear a diaper, my wife and I can’t go 500 miles without a bio break. She drinks 2 liters of H20 a day. I am drinking a six pack of caffeinated fluids every 500 miles. The beer is actually only when I celebrate surviving the latest encounter with an inept driver. Drove a gasoline powered rental one way to Los Angeles 2 weeks ago: 530 miles. Stopped for gas 4 times to use rest rooms. Only once to fill up (on the AZ side of the state line to save on gas, given the gas in Blythe is apparently fortified with gold dust) and the other 3 times just a gallon so that I qualified as a customer for rest room access. Driving an ICE car saved me exactly zero minutes versus driving a Tesla. They are actually. In the article it was after 10pm and the public rest room at shopping mall colocated with the fast charger was closed. Plausible, but * with proper advance planning, this is avoidable, since most fast chargers for Interstate highway routings are co located with gas stations. * most people do not do road trips after 10pm * if I am still on the road after 10 pm, it won’t be to gas up or charge up. It will be to head to a place with a bed to sleep in, such as a hotel or my home. Consider that Elon Musk might not be the moron the far right and far left makes him out to be. When they can figure out to land a rocket on a barge in middle of the ocean, then they just might have the standing to critique where he places his EV chargers.

A form to relinquish their LPR status. They should set up the mobile passport control, and enter at JFK or SFO.

I just use nearest gasoline rest room, buy a beer and drink it while charging.

NVC is basically a criminal cartel now

Police have already said they will not enforce her EO.

10 year. 2 year cards are for Cxxx, and EB-5 visas. Parents are IR visas

I am imagining 100 foot extension cords from the common transformer to the kitchen, bathroom, etc, and thinking: “Honey can you turn off the rice cooker so I can dry my hair?”

File now

And we have completed the loop. By this time you could have submitted I-130. I’ve contributed all I can, and I don’t wish to argue or bicker, so I won’t post more in this thread.

She has the required credentials to work immediately as a nurse in the U.S., assuming she was an LPR?

Unless there is a Keurig that runs off USB power, the product description clearly rules out coffee machines. It will not successfully convert the voltage of high amperage current. No one actually needs this product. Every laptop computer I’ve bought in the U.S. for the last 30 years works on 240V power. When my wife asked what she should do with her Burmese hair dryer, curling iron, and rice cooker while packing for her K-1 visa journey, I pointed to the trash can.

One other thing. It is a 1 in 10,000 chance, but USCIS has been known to erroneously insist all the way through N-400 that the 10 year GC was not issued in error. See And note the contribution of member neonred . Look closely at his wife’s timeline: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=15520 You will see that a 10 year GC was clearly issued in error. And yet I-751 was rejected, and N-400 was approved. Someone powerful at USCIS made an error and decided to double down for some reason, perhaps because the fear that if N-400 was denied, the beneficiary would be able to set a dangerous precedent in court. Thus had the beneficiary failed to carry her “invalid document”, and had she been arrested for it, she would have lost in federal court because the card was valid as far as USCIS was concerned. Failure to carry your card because you think it is invalid is not afaik a legal defense.

Looks correct per https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Japan.html/ The applicant must bring the original Police Certificate in a sealed envelope to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate at the time of his/her interview. Applicants should only send a photocopy of the sealed envelope to the National Visa Center, but not the actual police certificate itself. Perhaps embassy has a process for delivering the document ahead of time.

Economic hardship to a U.S. citizen is indeed a valid reason to expedite. Presumably you filed I-130 well before the surgery was needed as opposed to filing I-130 because you need the surgery.

I filed multiple AR-11s online for my wife last year, and no online account needed. https://www.uscis.gov/ar-11 There are two ways you can change your address with USCIS: Through your USCIS online account if you filed your form online (or you filed a paper form that has a receipt number that begins with IOE); or By submitting Form AR-11, Alien’s Change of Address Card, online

Who needs the surgery? The petitioner or beneficiary?

Possibly.

Oh ok. I can accept concealed carry as an alternative. When in the U.S., I always presume everyone else is carrying. That forces me to project a calmer demeanor than is my nature.

K-1 is riskier for her, since she will be totally dependent on you from the point she enters on a K-1 to the point she gets a 10 year GC. And with a personal check, you can follow the money. When that check is cashed, you have peace of mind.

Yet another disadvantage of K-1. With a CR-1 he could drive a domestic one way rental to the border, park it a few feet from the border, hand truck 3 boxes at a time through CBP’s pedestrian gate, load a one way rental in the U.S. Go back to Mexico Rinse repeat. Drop off the rental. Uber CBP’s pedestrian gate. Drive his U.S. one way rental to your home. But K-1 is single entry. So instead, you will need to drive your personal vehicle into Mexico (time your arrival so that you can idle at a relatively safe place like the parking lot of a Costco or Walmart without leaving your vehicle) and meet with him. Make sure to buy short term vehicle insurance for Mexico first. There should be billboards as you approach Mexico for phone numbers and addresses state side that will sell this. Transfer the load from his rental at the parking lot, then follow him to the rental car drop off point. Then he rides with you to the CBP check point, (which has horrible waits IMO; I always walk) and declares his K-1 and personal effects.

I-131 cannot be filed while outside the U.S. If it is, jt will be denied. Not only must it be filed while inside the U.S., you cannot leave the U.S. until the I-131 receipt is sent by USCIS. If you leave before the receipt is sent, I-131 will be denied.

I am confused.
