  1. I know of a case where the applicant did as you advise, and the ISO RFEd him anyway, saying that USCIS policy says they cannot collect evidence through paper; it must be online. Makes sense actually: file online, provide evidence online. Don’t you I find it odd that the some of same people who advocate filing N-400 online, also advocate bringing evidence to interview via paper, when it could have been submitted online? I sure find it odd and inconsistent. Anyway, seems like the majority of contributors want OP to not submit tax return transcripts. You win. I am out.
  2. 1. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/India.html Does not say affidavits or certificates are needed 2 https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/India.html “ Comments: Police certificates are only available for Indian nationals and non-Indian nationals currently living in India. Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) nationals applying outside India. ”. Since they are Canadian citizens I assume they are not Indian nationals. So no police certificates. 3. Canada is strict about domicile. My understanding is you have to live in the U.S. before their visas will be approved. 5. Latter.
  3. I think you did your NVC processing too soon to meet your parameters. So “chance” no longer applies. Still you have control over arriving in the U.S. after your 2 year marriage anniversary to ensure your legal right to a 10 year gc.
  4. It is only taking a chance of you have a choice. Your timeline says you have not reached DQ. So based on that, you do have choice: wait until your 2 year marriage anniversary to submit everything needed to achieve DQ.
  5. Some officers will and some won’t. This has been reported either way on VJ several times. Regardless what the officer does, if you do not get a 10 year card, file I-90 for free to get one. Do not ever expect I-90 to be resolved.
  6. OP asked if any one on visa journey has a recent Doha timeline, and I showed that the answer is no
  7. Nothing happening in Doha it seems: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/irstats.php?history=90
  8. I have never heard of filing I-824 to switch from consular to I-485. e.g. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=193831 I do not if by filing I-824 you have messed up the case.
  9. If this is a w-2 job, I would not. Your projected gross income for next 365 days is your current income and current income is what matters the most. NVC and COs want simple I-864s. They have been known to reject multi millionaire real estate investors with no taxable income (due to all the tax deductions real estate has) despite 6 figure cash flow and instead accept an I-864 with w-2 based 40,000 gross income. There is no logic to these decisions. Hoard your cash, and when your liquid US based assets reach 3x of 125 pct of poverty threshold, prepare a separate I-864 that includes assets, and keep it handy for the interview if the CO demands a joint sponsor.
  10. “I’ve never been had a fire in my house; so you don’t need a fire extinguisher in yours.”
  11. No, sorry. No. Even if was a final decree, you filed I-129F before this document was issued. It does not matter if you get a final decree before the visa is issued. You needed the final decree before I-129F was sent.. Correct: you need a final decree.
  12. I-129F requires that the citizen and alien be eligble to be married, to each other, in the U.S. state of intend residence. Whoever it is that has this “stipulation” thing was not eligible to marry at the time. Thus I-129F will be denied. Action plan: 1. get a final divorce degree 2. Get married 3. Follow this process to get an immigration visa:
  13. what lsnguage do they speak? You can order wheel chair assistance. The person pushing their chair will get them to where they need to be.
  14. What does this have to do with an IR1 visa?
  15. Assuming Emirates and Etihad do not board OP, I am liking this idea more and more: * There will be a car load of LPRs and OP’s long absence might get lost in the shuffle * Even if the long absence is noted, the fact a car load of family came to retrieve OP strengthens OP’s narrative of strong ties to the U.S.
  16. Because it does not work. You cannot just scan your state ID card into Apple wallet and expect it to work (I mean, it should work that way, but it does not). In the case of AZ MVD there are additional steps and they do not work because MVD is incapable of matching a selfie of the ID holder with that of the photo it took when issuing the DL. DHS and ClearMe understand this stuff. Apple and AZ MVD do not. Apple Wallet is good for movie and plane tickets. Little else ID on a phone is like video on blue ray: obsolete on arrival.
  17. No. DHS is moving facial recognition and it will not surprise me if there is an announcement that LPRs can stop carrying their green cards. And anyway state DL on wallet is trash. I want the ten minutes I wasted on this back in my life. Does not surprise me only 4 states got sucked into this boon doggle.
  18. The overall carbon reduction of those 90 hybrids over their lifetimes is 37 times as much as as single battery EV," they write. I don’t care about carbon reduction. I care about energy independence from petro-terrorists that kill Americans. EVs will bankrupt Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Russia, etc. I think there will be an emerging unholy alliance between blue states which want Detroit to build EV plants in their states and red states who want Elon to build plants in their states, with red states supplying the fossil fueled electricity to blue states so that they can pretend to reduce CO2. By the numbers:Toyota has what it calls the 1:6:90 rule. Its scientists have calculated that the amount of raw material needed to make a long-range EV could instead be used to make six plug-in electric hybrid vehicles or 90 hybrid vehicles. The same scientists that make vehicles powered by hydrogen from natural gas.
  19. LONDON/FRANKFURT, May 25 (Reuters) - A United Nations-convened climate alliance for insurers suffered at least three more departures on Thursday including the group's chair, as insurance companies take fright in the face of opposition from U.S. Republican politicians. […] This month 23 U.S. state attorneys general told NZIA members that the group's targets and requirements appeared to violate both federal and state antitrust laws. They gave insurers a month to respond in a May 15 letter - the latest salvo from the Republicans against financial institutions […] See https://www.reuters.com/business/allianz-decides-leave-net-zero-insurance-alliance-2023-05-25/?ref=upstract.com for complete story. It is interesting how U.S. states can undermine federal foreign policy. The U.S. constitution matters.
  20. Not as far as the U.S. government is concerned
  21. You should not be doing this without an attorney since drug offenses can be a permanent ban.
  22. No guarantees. I have never heard of CBSA denying entry for that reason. Besides which you will have a round trip ticket. Focus trying to fly Emirates to the U.S. first. Porter Airlines out of Toronto Island airpot aka Billy Bishop flies to EWR. But again, try Emirates.
  23. Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Start with Emirates. If Emirates and Etihad do not board you, book a round trip to Doha on Qatar. Pakistanis have a limited visa waiver for Qatar. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_requirements_for_Pakistani_citizens Then once in Doha, book a round trup flight to Canada. From Canada book a flight from Toronto Island or Regina airports to the U.S. to avoid CBP pre-clearance which IMHO is likely to deny boarding. Or get to the land border. Refuse to sign I-407.
  24. What airline? The airline that denied boarding to U.S. is as likely to apply the same illogic and deny boarding to Canada.
