  1. yes but not relevant to the three scenarios I listed. They asked me. Seems to happen to 0.1 to 1 percent of I-485 cases. USCIS has an absolute right to see that evidence.
  2. For now your U.S. passport suffices without the lawful change of name document. If “AOS” in your topic’s title refers to I-485, there is a possibility you will be asked for US citizenship evidence that supports your claim to a U.S. passport. If so, and if that evidence uses your prior name, your lawful change of name document will be required. If this will be consular processing, it is even more rare, but the beneficiary might be required to show your US citizenship evidence that supports your claim to a U.S. passport. Also, rarest of all is an I-130 interview of and/or biometrics collection from the petitioner. If so, expect to show your US citizenship evidence that supports your claim to a U.S. passport. So you are good for now, but you need to your documents ready for what might come.
  3. Lots to unpack there, starting with, your fiancee’s mother is not your mother-in-law. For the K-1 process to be successful, the prime directive is the couple must not say or do anything that leads to suspicion the couple has married.
  4. Does your fiancée know her father’s name and/or his location? If so, if you enter unknown because you truly do not know, this can be interpreted as evidence you are not in a bonafide relationship with your fiancée.
  5. Some ISOs consider co-procreation as gold standard evidence of bonafide marriage. Failure to take this shot at a wide open net baffles me.
  6. Possibly This has nothing to do with your original question, but no, Canadians are generally not issued visas by the U.S. When you travel as a visitor to the U.S. your are admitted on a B status. Status and visa are different things. This is a B visa: and you do not have one, unless you filed DS-160 to get one.
  7. You need to earn $24,650 for a household of 2 people. By the time she gets a visa, expect this to be higher as it is indexed to inflation. The I-864p numbers should be seen as necessary and not always sufficient.
  8. A similar argument could be made about Venezuela. Instead oil production has cratered. Even though Russia is there to supposedly fix things. It turns out that angering the only super power when one has crude oil that is difficult to refine is not a winning strategy. It remains to be seen if Russia can continue in the long run to extract its resources without access to Western technology. I do not see the CIA allowing Russia to prevail in Ukraine. Once everyone realizes that, we can get to a better place.
  9. I see nothing in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_on_the_Final_Settlement_with_Respect_to_Germany that says NATO could not expand. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO–Russia_relations says “The NATO-Russia Council (NRC) was created on 28 May 2002 during the 2002 NATO Summit in Rome” By that date NATO had previously enlarged to include Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic. So if Russia still had its nose out of joint over NATO expansion into former Warsaw countries, signing up for the NRC surely did not indicate that. The current Russia / Ukraine war had its seeds in EU and Ukraine agreeing to free trade treaty which no doubt would have led to Ukraine joining the EU. Instead government of Ukraine reneged and its people protested, toppling government in favor of a pro EU regime. Russia then took Crimea, shot down a passenger jet, and invaded the rest of Ukraine. Thus Russia’s attempt to conquer Ukraine has less to do with Ukraine possibly being in NATO and more to do with Russia fearing the reduced economic influence it would have on Ukraine. As a member of the EU, Ukraine was on a path to a GDP that would eclipse Russia. This embarrassment would ultimately force Putin from power. The State Department has surely mishandled Russian relations, and the U.S. and NATO invasion of Yugoslavia gave Russia an excuse to have its feelings hurt. But Stalin tried repeatedly to assassinate Tito, so forgive me if I am not so moved by Russia’s concern over NATO aggression toward a Slavic country. If Yeltsin wasn’t a drunk, Russia might have turned out differently.
  10. Write to the USCIS address on I-130 receipt. The letter should note the case number and purpose of the letter. Include a copy of the receipt and birth certificate. Unsolicited evidence is always allowed
  11. Canada explicitly rejects selfies. Aside from that I have never had a selfie rejected by any country, including the U.S. My results are always better. There are a multiple free apps and websites that crop the photo and insert the background.
  12. It is OK and you have correctly filled out the form
  13. Do tell. America is not Canada, even though granted its accent sounds like the 11th province
  14. Russia invaded. It just needs to withdraw to the ussr era borders violate what? Why should either country care how many oligarchs each have? Should Canada and U.S. go to war over their oligarch counts? The Edmonton Oilers are owned by an Canadian oligarch. I am quite angry about the fact that despite owning the best two players in the world, the Cup keeps going to Walmart, American hedge fund, and 401k oligarchs. But I do not think we should go to war over that. I am not understanding how Russia’s natural resources are a justification for it invading European countries.
  15. why K-1 and not CR-1? Since a crew visa disallows I-485, logically yes. Once you file I-130 or I-129F, I would not be surprised if B visa is revoked hmm. Where does it say that? legally, yes No worries
  16. True or false: 6 weeks after Georgia and Ukraine applied to join NATO, and NATO said no, Russia invaded Georgia?
  17. Are their photo printing services? Assuming they print 4x6 inch in photos, take a selfie, crop to a 2x2 ratio, arrange in 6 copies in 2x3 grid and print them at the photo printer service. Then make 3 scissor cuts: 6 photos.
  18. Yes Limit RFE response to what was requested in RFE. Is the baby a U.S. citizen?
