  1. IME they will get the wrong answer at SFO Correct. You not reading it correctly. Some people with immigration visas think it is a fore gone conclusion they will be admitted on their visa. This is a falsehood. Not everybody gets in.
  2. Yes. Come back immediately. Not a bad idea to have a lawyer lined up in case you get an abusive CBP officer with a weak grasp of the law.
  3. As discussed on the thread posted to the front page, https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/803706-which-line-when-entering-us-as-family-us-citizen-with-foreign-spouse/#comments everyone traveling together stays together and goes to the visitor line.
  4. Except that those “agents” are not CBP employees and they do not know the rules. For example, each time I traveled to the U.S. with my fiancee / wife before she became an LPR, the “agents” insisted I separate from her and enter the U.S. citizen line. This was neither going to happen nor was it proper procedure: each family or household traveling together is expected to present themselves as one party to a human CBP officer for inspection.
  5. That article is listed as being written by someone named Tiffney Johnson. I cannot find this person in https://www.ailalawyer.com The website that person has lists to physical address for a law office. No entry in google maps or Yelp. Any way, if they use the LPR line, IMHO, * They will probably be screamed at for not using their GCs at the kiosk. * LPR line is for LPRs who can enjoy faster processing as a benefit from their status. They have no status. There is no 100 percent certain way to verify this because of the reality of human error. That said I have yet to hear of a case where after giving CBP the correct address, the GC was sent to the wrong address. Though I have heard of cases where the GC was never sent. They should set up online USCIS accounts, and change their address there too. They should also change their address using online AR-11. I would not have paid the GC fee until inside the U.S.
  6. The point is that their are U.S. citizens today who were born, abroad, became LPRs and not need to file N-400.
  7. All the kids were born after 1983. So assuming the father: * is the biological father, and * was a U.S. citizen before the oldest kid reached age 18 * had legal and physical custody of each kid * legitimated each kid and assuming all kids were LPRs before they reached age 18, then under the terms of child citizenship act, each kid would automatically be a U.S. citizen, provided all the necessary conditions overlapped in time.
  8. Good point. Card expires in February. So file I-90, online, 6 months before the card expires, keeping in mind the issue of time zones. So in August 2023, file 6 months less a day before card expires, regardless whether OP is in the U.S. or not. * Use a U.S. address for I-90. * Disregard anything you have read that says I-90 must be filed from inside the U.S. We know this false, visajourney proved it was false, and this urban myth has mostly died.
  9. yes This is in your favor Worst is you will be given a Notice to Appear to a trial to remove your LPR status. Z That would be an egregious abuse of power by CBP. No Most likely is you will be admitted as a returning resident as is normal. That lawyer should be disbarred 3 years is nothing. However once you arrive in U.S. * refuse to sign I-407 if invited * do not leave again until you naturalize
  10. My wife never had an online account during her I-751 process and so this was how I did her online physical address changes. It always seemed to work; we always got the Initial acknowledgement, and days later the confirmation.
  11. Oh, well federal officers lie. If this was under oath to Congress or federal court I might believe them a bit. Of course Zuck, Elon, and Nutella are handing over your data.
  12. My dad is a US Citizen (wasn't born in the US, just moved there when he was young). My mom is a Canadian so she will need to be sponsored Gender swap? I’ve contributed all I can, and given the details of this case confuse me, I don’t wish to argue or bicker, so I won’t post more in this thread.
  13. So why don’t you have a CRBA now? He can file I-130 for your father. He does not live in the U.S. So, no.
  14. Does your appointment ask for her passport? If the home is sold and the proceeds sitting in a USD U.S. bank account in the U.S., probably.
  15. 1. Is the U.S. citizen’s petitioner’s income enough? 2. Is the child a biological child of the petitioner? 3. Is the child under age 18?
  16. Generally attorneys and USCIS ISOs give worse advice than reddit r/USCIS and that includes some of the attorneys who post on r/USCIS (but those attorneys get a tongue lashing. Of course on Visajourney they are too afraid to post).
  17. And you lived with your father at any time between the day you became an LPR and the day before your turned age 18?
  18. Does the appointment ask for her passport? I think need her naturalization certificate. The Montreal consulate is notorious for not accepting that. If it is a requirement she remain in Canada until your father has an immigration visa in hand, you might have to file I-130 for him and go to the U.S. first.
  19. I found your post on reddit. Not seeing the conflicting info. The comment do warn you to not rush to file N-600 until your U.S. passports are in hand.
