  1. Yes this was where I was going in my attempts to pin OP down on physical presence. It seems likely the child will have dual citizenship if born in Canada, making the issue moot. Given provincial health systems routinely send women to the U.S. to give birth, there should is a provision in Canada’s immigration code that would allow a child of a PR to enter Canada just as there is for children of LPRs born abroad.
  2. That is the strict interpretation of the law. If he moved out your home the day before you naturalized: he is not a U.S. citizen. If he moved in the day of or after you naturalized: he is a U.S. citizen.
  3. What is the point of registering a U.S. marriage in Burma? I have never known a Burmese citizen to do so. It becomes moot once she becomes a U.S. citizen, since Burma does not permit multiple citizenships.
  4. Looks good. I would consider getting him state photo ID. I have seen too many cases where the passport acceptance clerk at USPS refuses to include the evidence of physical custody thus generating an RFE. Whereas, it seems inconceivable the clerk would refuse to send a copy of photo ID from each of you. State photo ID will show the same address. The law says he only needs to reside with you for as little as a single date since your naturalization for him to be a U.S. citizen. Thus any evidence showing co-residency on or after the date of naturalization works.
  5. Utah: You do not need to leave your house to get married and file I-130. A digital marriage certificate acceptable for I-130 is emailed after completion of the ceremony. All other solutions: you need to leave your house. You will need the paper marriage certificate in hand for the CR-1 interview in Bangkok. Utah County will mail it to a U.S. address.
  6. Would you say that in your entire life you have 1825 or more days of physical presence in the U.S.?
  7. USPS denies it is possible, but IME duplicate tracking codes happen.
  8. You will file I-864 for your wife, showing a household size of 4. For each child you will file I-864W. W stands for waiver. Waiver because they will instantly become U.S. citizens, and once an immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen, I-864 is void.
  9. Legally yes. Entry is always at the discretion of CBP. How many days of physical presence do you have in the U.S.?
  10. Looks like you started the process: You can, but it is a bad idea to do so before they each get at least one U.S. passport. How old is the oldest child?
  11. Here is allow MAID works now in Canada, using my cousin as an example. My cousin is pushing 60 snd has Down Syndrome. When his father brings him to the doctor for check ups, the receptionist asks my uncle if they would like the doctor to evaluate his son for MAID today. Uncle: “I will not consent to ending my son’s life while he is enjoying it.” Receptionist, disappointed: “Well sorry, we have to ask” Really why? Because of his IQ? Considering how stupid the average person is, and that half of everyone is stupider, that’s a lot pf lethal injections to be offering if that is the criterium. I think there must be a MAID bounty or something. I agree with assisted suicide as a concept, and wish my father could have had it in Canada over a decade ago as he desired. But the implementation is now there to reduce costs to the public, not to end suffering.
  12. Absolutely. Retirees do this all the time. For example Asian grannies and grandpas with adult children in the U.S. will come to U.S. during the hot season to be with their kids and grandkids. CBP understands that. And although we do not have B visas, Canadian retirees will come to the U.S. for 6 months from mid fall to mid spring. What CBP does not understand is a Canadian PR who claims to have a job and residence in Canada coming to the U.S. for 6 months. Especially one with an American spouse, and a pending I-130. Who has discussed giving birth in the U.S. Not credible.
  13. no No. N-600K is for people who do not live in the U.S. Because you are a U.S. citizen, the moment your child enters the US (while under age 18) on the IR-2 visa, the child will be a U.S. citizen, assuming the child lives with you. If so, and if you can prove it, then you file for U.S. passports for your child. After at least passport is received, you file N-600 (not N-600K). If you plan to file for U.S. passports for your child then do not pay this fee: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee If you do not think you will have the time to get the passports the do pay this fee.
  14. Short visits. 14 days every 13 weeks works. Legally she can give where ever, but entry into the U.S. is at discretion of CBP. The child will be a U.S. citizen regardless where born, and if not a U.S. citizen from birth (assuming you fail the physical presence test) then will be upon entry into the U.S. This way the child is a dual citizen:
  15. I-130 is the only form needed. You also need these pieces of evidence: * your evidence of U.S. citizenship. * your birth certificate * if her name does not match that of her birth certificate, her lawful change of name document(s) Photo copies only. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Nigeria.html
  16. usually there is only 3. Readers contemplating N-400 in 2024 or later show download all their return tax transcripts now, while they can. No. You can order the missing transcript from the IRS, or take a chance USCIS will not care. When I naturalized I went the latter route and submitted my full tax return for the missing year. No RFE.
  17. I am surprised she would think the GOP would need to spend any effort doing that. The GOP lives rent free in Jen’s head.
  18. You should rehearse a different narrative before you arrive in front of a CBP officer. Immigrants do not visit the U.S. The only case I’ve seen.
  19. Finger printing of newly arrived LPRs at USCIS offices happens when: * the LPR files I-131 to get a re-entry permit (recommended for U-turn LPRs like OP) * USCIS has determined the biometrics taken for the immigration visa are not acceptable for a green card (which does have a photo and finger print). In this case USCIS will schedule biometrics. It is rare; have only seen one case on visa journey.
  20. I would take a screenshot and answer no. Yes. You might later be assigned a new A number.
