Green Card Holder and Medicaid/Food Stamps
Mike E replied to Tay123's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
Per https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/eligibility/citizen/non-citizen-policy it does not appear sheis eligible for food stamps, but there are exceptions as noted. Per https://www.cms.gov/CCIIO/Programs-and-Initiatives/Health-Insurance-Marketplaces/Downloads/Immigration-Fact-Sheet.pdf the same seems to be true for medicaid: not eligible it appears, but there are exceptions. Did she fully disclose her status when she applied for these benefits? -
Question about K1 Extension
Mike E replied to SaltyCaptain592's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
This will invalidate the K-1 visa, and if CBP learns of it, entry will be denied: Since you plan to ask the embassy for an extension to have the ceremony, the embassy might revoke the visa once it confirms the ceremony took place. As a police officer, if a speeder you pull over uses that same argument, will you let him go without a citation? Speaking of which, it is not a good idea for a police officer to put himself in a position to appear to have committed a federal crime (misrepresentation to obtain an immigration benefit). So for your own protection, when your fiancee and you arrive at the port of entry, proactively mention to the officer that you had a religious ceremony. If the officer lets it go, cool. If he denies her entry, still cool because you told the truth. -

Were your parents married before your 18th birthday?
Mike E replied to Elllena's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
From the n-400 form: Part 6. Information About Your Parents If neither one of your parents is a United States citizen, then skip this part and go to Part 7. 1. Were your parents married before your 18th birthday? You should not be answering the question: Were your parents married before your 18th birthday? -

The answer is “yes”. Were either of your parents U.S. citizens? -

Visiting other countries while i130 pending
Mike E replied to Zs10102's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I do not see a problem with visiting Turkey or UAE. In the 4 years my fiancee were a couple leading up her K-1 visa we met as often as possible and not always in her home country of Burma: Italy, France, Greece, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, India, Nepal, Malaysia, and Vietnam, as I recall, most of which she had never been to. IME, Turkey is a fantastic place to visit, and your wife should try to go now before she moves to America. I have heard good things about UAE too. Her traveling with you will bolster her case for a bonafide marriage at difficult embassy. -

traveling while pregnant
Mike E replied to Tay123's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
They issue a visa to the applicant. If the child is born before the visa is used, in general the policy documented in https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/after-the-interview/child-born-after-visa-issuance/ applies: > If your child is born after the issuance of your immigrant visa s/he will not need a visa to accompany you provided you both travel within the period of validity of your visa. You are required to carry a copy of your child’s long-form birth certificate for presentation to an immigration officer at the port of entry, together with a valid travel document for the child. I believe at the port of entry, CBP will issue the child a temporary I-551. With that, the parents can apply for child’s U.S. passport book and card, and then file N-600 to get a certificate of citizenship. If the child is born a U.S. citizen, then by law, the child needs a U.S. passport to travel to the U.S. Embassy’s are not always quick to respond. -

Let me FTFY: “How else will the Democrats keep the pipeline of child sex workers going.” There has been just one Epstein conviction. Versus dozens of Russia hoax and Jan 6 hoax convictions. Democrat plan for children: * traffic * sterilize * exploit And it takes a village to do so. -
You can get a bronze plan for under $100 a month. Unfortunately, * it will have an annual out of pocket max of over $10,000. * it will most likely be an HMO, locking you into a limited set of providers and hospitals. I am on ACA and the cheapest PPO I could find was a silver plan costs $800 per month per person with maximum out of pocket of over $10,000. However routine visits to an in-PPO provider require a co-pay and the plan takes care of the rest. So it simulates having employer insurance from a tech employer, at least until I get cancer. What are the alternatives to ACA since the ACA law was passed? Prior to ACA, Major Medical was available, albeit with high out of pocket costs and pre-existing conditions exclusions. But you could see whatever doctor or hospital you wanted. Cancer was not a fear, at least until after the first $1M.

N-400 Online Filing Required Docs
Mike E replied to GEOntificator's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I saw a case where tax returns were not submitted, and the applicant instead brought them to interview. The ISO still issued an RFE, claiming that there was a new policy that said tax return evidence cannot be collected at interview. The RFE was sent, replied to, and months later oath has not been scheduled. I hope you bring your lawyer to the interview. I fail to understand the persistent resistance to * filling tax returns even when there is no taxable income * submitting tax return transcripts with N-400 To me USCIS is like a casino and the rules are rigged so the house always wins. No tax filing and no tax returns is like saying “hit me” when you are sitting on 17 and the blackjack dealer is showing a 3. -
