Pretty much. My N-400 interview was in the afternoon, 1pm-ish. I was not seen until 5pm-ish Ro will be among the first. So she should be done fast.

I predict * 10 minutes. * you will be out of there by 8:30am

I think he aged out. D = approval date minus PD is < 2 years He is over 23 now. 23 - D > 21.

I expect forward movement. I do not expect it to go back to Current.

My guess is there was a technical problem with the GC machine. If it is anything like naturalization certificate printers, the GC machine will make up to two attempts to produce the card with same biometrics (photo and fingerprint), and then refuse a 3rd attempt. Request an ADIT.

Income is not needed for the I-130 stage

IMHO, the biometrics collected by CBP are used by USCIS to decide if it needs to collect biometrics before your N-400 interview. Basically, USCIS can compare you most recent CBP biometrics with your most recent USCIS biometrics to decide if the delta is large enough to justify another collection. At your N-400 interview, USCIS might collect biometrics.

In the past 10 years, have you entered the U.S. a CBP port of entry?

The upside of winning this gamble is the sponsor saves some air fare. The downside of losing the gamble is beneficiary loses his LPR status or U.S. citizenship. And the loss might not happen until years or decades later, at which time the son will have no practical path to LPR status. Penny wise / pound foolish I think. All the father has to do is accompany his son, establish evidence the son lives in the same home (take the son to the DMV to get state ID for the son or both if needed) and leave.

I would not unless there is an RFE listing this as an option.

Good decision. I am assured that somewhere in the chain of command of USCIS there is an officer with both authority and critical thinking skills but I have yet to see it.

Not unless circumstances have changed. Weak ties to India. Neither have jobs where they work for an employer. The husband owns a business and self employment is considered a weak tie. Whereas they have strong ties to the U.S. An immediate visa re-application suggests desperation to enter the U.S. Applicant for medical school in India. So a weak tie given she is not in med school.

If it complies with, https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/India.html yes you can upload it. You might be given an RFE for additional evidence, such as DNA collected by labs authorized by the department of state (that lab in India will direct you to lab in the U.S. to collect your sample), photos of your father and you together before you reached age 18, evidence he lived with you before age 18, etc.

She should have been contacting NVC once a year to keep her case alive. She should contact NVC now (everything is done online now) to see if she can move forward. Since 2015, the priority dates for F4 have moved just one year. IOW a new India F4 I-130 will require (2022 - 2004) * (2022 - 2015) = 18 * 7 = 126 years for NVC to take up.

It happens when 1. the biometrics captured at the consular are not up to USCIS standards. 2. the new LPR waits too long to pay the immigrant fee. Some pay it years later because they didn’t know they had to.

That will be futile: The plugs and sockets are not compatible.

This is another problem. Most Tesla owners who use their $100K cars as tractors seem have no cares in the world about taking up 7 slots at a fast charger, claiming that it is too hard to unhitch and re-hitch. Fortunately there are fast charger stations, designed for this, with the number of trailer friendly slots numbering any where from 1 to all. When I charge, I pick the center stall so that trailers cannot charge.

In 2017, it was the norm to wait. In 2023, it is the norm to not wait. There seem to be 10 times as many stations now compared to the 6 years ago. The car will tell if there is waiting at a particular station thus giving me the opportunity of going to one that has no wait. The charger 15 minutes from house has never had a wait, not have any in the rest of Tucson. In Phoenix I will experience waiting 1 in 10 times. Certain stations will attract more cars. Where I lived in California, the nearest fast charger was inside a Target parking garage and waiting was the norm. 2 miles away at Safeway there was never a wait. Or Tesla will build more stations to get more revenue, IOW what it has been doing since the day it built its first fast charger. If the EV ownership experience is bad, there won’t be as many buyers. I am less concerned about non Teslas charging on Tesla’s network and more concerned about them taking multiple charging spaces because the charging cable does not reach their charging port. Tesla is reconfiguring charging stations so that this is not necessary.

There is no way to reliably update it. The best she can is file AR-11 online and hope for the best.

I am amazed this case got to DQ and will be surprised if a visa is issued

The cluelessness of some journalists never ceases to amaze: The EV’s current average, we are told, is eight hours to a “full charge,” whatever that means. Preposterous. A DC fast charger would take typically 30 minutes to 90 percent charge. Not worth the wait for 100 percent charge. The EV acolytes have an answer for this; “your hotel will have charger stations so you can charge up every night.” It would never occur to me to depend on a hotel having a level 2 charger. Granted, “acolytes” usually lack critical thinking. Instead, I pick hotels that are near DC fast chargers. Indeed some hotels on my usual road trips between Cali and AZ, or AZ and Colorado have DC fast chargers on site. The fifty-room hotel will now need fifty chargers in its parking lot. The 200-room hotel will need 200 of them. Utterly stupid. There’s no place to charge during the day Referring to Chicago, New York, Boston and St Louis, I count, respectively at least 7, 9, 5, and 4 DC fast chargers I can easily use. What happened to fact checking?

I’ve never had problems charging my EV on road trips, because when I enter a destination into my onboard navigation computer, it tells me whether the trip is possible, and if it is, how fast I can drive and where I will charge. Using this onboard trip planner, I concluded a road trip from California to Alberta in my EV was not practical as the lack of charging infrastructure between Great Falls and Lethbridge meant that I would have to drive 50 mph, which is an unsafely low speed. He was going from Manitoba to Illinois which is not practical in an EV. I would drive my EV to Vancouver but the rest of Canada is off limits for now. The story says he paid $10,000 to add an EV charger at work. The man loves in Manitoba. Where ICEVs with block heaters are the norm and therefore places to plug block heaters are more common than gas stations. He could have plugged into a 120V outlet at a parking spot at work: Sure it might have added just 24 miles of range, but if a full charge in the morning plus 24 miles at work is not enough to get him home, then his EV is a toy.
