FTA, ”Can you name one objective thing that has gotten better in American society since women were given the right to vote?” I cannot either. For a while, suffrage did lead to improvements in civil rights and victims rights. But quotas for protected groups, expansion of protected groups, and re-definition of safety as freedom led to: * discrimination via affirmative action (e.g. over qualified Asians cannot get slots at Ivy) * trans women (aka people with prostates) now smoke people with wombs in the swimming pool, the race track, and the boxing ring * more people with prostates are figuring out that by identifying as a woman in the work place, they can help their employer meet their DEI goals, get more job interviews, and lower their auto insurance * people with wombs being raped by women with male genitals in venues that are off limits to men: women’s restrooms, locker rooms, prisons * taking guns from women making them more vulnerable to crime * unvaccinated cannot work, travel, received medical treatment * permanently sterilizing children who say they are a gender different than what was assigned at birth * open borders * homeless epidemic * $15/hour minimum wage which just inflated costs affecting women the most. That is why child care is not affordable None of above * is good for women * happens if women do not have the vote. People with wombs are falling behind. And that is the point Ingraham, MTG, etc are trying to make.

If she means submitting these to NVC, I agree. If she means submitting this to NVC, I disagree. Do not entangle a joint sponsor unless necessary. no Have the joint sponsor as a backup plan B. At interview, if the CO says, “you need a joint sponsor”, then the beneficiary should hand over the joint sponsor I-864. If the joint sponsor if married and If the CO then says, “nope you also need an I-864a”, have an I-864a from the joint sponsor’s spouse. Your ideal joint sponsor, should: * be a W-2 worker * have tax return transcripts showing sufficient income 2020, exceeded by 2021, and exceeded by 2022, * have current income (defined as income for next 12 months) that exceeds 2022 * has pay stubs for all of 2023

Noooooooo!!! WoM now.

WoM is a waste of time for N-400. Too soon and the defense can argue that it depends on I-751. You are approaching 2 years for I-751. When Congress added conditional residency, it was never their intent that USCIS would take years to adjudicate. WoM this now. Granted, it was never the intent of Congress that naturalization take more than 3 months: hence the 90 day early filing because Congress felt it was unfair to make applicants with simple cases wait a day over their 3/5 year anniversaries as LPRs. Congress did give INS 120 days to deny or oath a case. And USCIS is gaming the system now. WoM I-751, get it approved. Then 30 days later WoM N-400.

DIY WoM time.

Yes, because CBP generally suspects abandonment of LPR status after 181 or more consecutive days of absence. That soon? IMO most are never approved before the 24 months. Any way it does not matter. You can leave the U.S. once you have your I-131 receipt, When you enter 11 months later, have the receipt ready if CBP complains about your 11 month absence. Refuse to sign I-407. If they take your gc they must give you an I-551 stamp and a notice to appear (NTA) in immigration court. Your re-entry permit application receipt is solid evidence you did not intend to abandon your LPR status. You will win in immigration court.

San Jose wants a word with you.

Gotta get the jump on data while it lasts.

Options I can think of from easiest to hardest: 1. File I-407 to relinquish your LPR status. 2. Become a U.S. citizen: you can file as soon as 90 days before 2024-08-18 per your timeline 3. Your husband and you accumulate a combined 40 social security (SS) work credits since 2021-08-18. This can happen as soon as 2026-08-18 4. You stay married to your husband for 10 years and he earns at least 40 lifetime SS work credits. 5. You earn 40 social security work credits. 6. You pass away

There is no evidence the CBP officer processed her IR-1 properly. That is other reason why you need to get this taken care of. You might end up doing a writ of mandamus to force CBP to stamp her.

@Loren Y it does indeed seem like retraining is needed amongst a wide swath of CBP. Looks like YYC is the only known safe port of entry until CBP gets its stuff together.

https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/visa-waiver-program/requirements-immigrant-and-nonimmigrant-visas “An intending immigrant becomes a lawful permanent resident once the immigrant visa and accompanying paperwork is reviewed and endorsed by a CBP Officer.” So, try again and request that “my immigration visa be endorsed as per CBP’s posted policy”

You asked for an I-94, and that got you on the wrong foot.

Use your existing flights to get to presumably Edmonton. Cancel your existing return flight, and book: YEG to YHM, take surface transport to Buffalo. Fly to EWR from Buffalo, if you booked a UA ticket, the return credit can at least be used for Buffalo to EWR. You might find YEG to YVR is better, then take surfsce transportation to Bellingham, and fly from there via Southwest Airlines to Islip or LaGuardia.

Yes but the wrong kind of GC:

They cannot force you to take oath on same day. Worse case they ding you for one missed oath, and automatically schedule you for a second oath. You get 2 strikes. The other option is to travel over land to Canada. On the return, use your naturalization certificate. If you are worried about the security of your naturalization certificate, leave it locked in your safe at home, or better yet apply for a U.S. passport with it, and make a photocopy before applying. Then just show CBP your photo copy.

She will have to remarry you and go through the IR-1 process.

Was it a 2 year or 10 year green card?

Did she get a green card?

@Salma20 I dare say @Crazy Cat is understating things, perhaps because of the trauma his wife went through. So take a look at Crazy Cat’s timeline: Marriage (if applicable): 2015-07-30 6/22/17- POE Dallas- Very smooth entry..... Mrs Cat entered just 5 weeks shy of her 2 year marriage anniversary. Lifting Conditions Date Filed : 2019-03-28 Approval / Denial Date : 2022-12-14 Approved : Yes That took over 3 years and 9 months. Waiting 5 weeks to POE would have avoided it.

I suspect @Redro had something else in mind. The same thing I do. But OP needs to engage.

I have not either. Yet it must have happened before.

I would upload unsolicited evidence in the form of a letter admitting the mistake. I can imagine the petitioner being summoned to a field office for biometrics and/or an interview to verify that the petitioner is alive and did in fact file I-130.
