I have v always used OFX

Correct. Itineraries are evidence of intent to travel not of the travel itself Any in country evidence such as hotels, credit card charges , entry / exit stamps?

The “ letter of the law” makes entering on a visitor visa/ or when using the VWP to enter .. with the intent of remaining and doing AOS .. fraudulent. But your explanations make it clear that this was not her intent .. even on this last entry.. and you had a compassionate CBP officer who suggested that a change of plans would be ok. So you are fine !! Members here get pretty testy with others who flaunt their intent to enter and adjust from a visitor visa and then get away with it. So you and your mum are fine .. hope you can understand the stronger comments that have been made .. not directed at you !! Enjoy being together. I spent 10 years ( 4 grandkids) doing the same. We then went through IR 5 for parents of USC.. 8 years later and 4 more grandkids some we arrived in 2016… and we know we close the v right path even though it leaves challenges for us with my own parents in their 90s still in Aust

Read the official instructions very very carefully for EVERY form you submit That way you know the info is current and not outdated. Official instructions even override the great guides on this website.. sometimes it takes a while for the guides to be updated when things are altered by the govt agency

You are not restricted to any option or method of paying your health care bills. Crowd health is not insurance. Read thoroughly before you decide

Moved to MENA regional sub forum for best possible local info

No. They used to be fee free when submitted with AOS, but this stopped earlier this year .. April?

Use the link given and follow the instructions. This is THE email.

The visa expiry date is usually set as 6 months after your medical date so that both are still valid when you enter .. So you will have less than 6 months from your interview.. how much less depends on when you do your medical prior to the interview. Don’t cut it close… illness, weather issues, transport strike.. only a few of the not out of the ordinary occurrences which can derail travel plans.. And an expired visa is not what you want at this stage.

Yes. As per instructions for the USCIS forms, this is correct. Top of page 6 in this document https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/Version_Preliminar_Edicion_12-23-22_USCIS_RECHAZARA_EL_FORMULARIO_SI_SE_PRESENTA_ANTES_DEL_12-23-22_Instrucciones_del_Formulario_I-485.pdf

No. No vaccination or medical requirements. You should read the USCIS guide for the N400. It sets out all requirements for naturalizing

You sister has been approved to petition you but thats all. You haven’t made it to the stage where you have applied for an immigrant visa.. That won’t happen until a visa becomes available .. The backlog due to more applicants than available visas each year. Hope this makes sense

Uscis is using SS quarters for a very different reason to SSI Income eligibility Makes sense to each individual agency We came on IR 5 .. we each had 36 and 21 quarters earned from previous time in the US .. thought we could add them together to meet the exception of over 40 but sadly it wasn’t saying what we thought it said

My quick read of the I864 exemption is that for immigration, he can count only the quarters that you accrued while married to each other. For actually claiming SS spouse income, he has only had to be married to you for 12 months. So i think you can’t use the exemption , though your SS income should be considered as ongoing when you return to the US and, if sufficient. will avoid the need for a joint sponsor.

Is he receiving spouse SS income now?

I would bring an updated signed i 864, proof of employment and payslips. The IO can decide if the new I864 is used.

Yes. Bring b the updated i864 and payslips etc.Advise them IO of your changes and give them the paperwork Well done.

I didn’t someone else did. Just stick with their username. That’s safer !

Oh i would rather have “bro” than “dude” anytime!!! 😵‍💫

OP hasnt been active for 18 months. Unlikely to get a response. Perhaps start a new thread with your question

You have nothing to apologise for .. your English is way better than any attempt i could do in speaking your mother tongue!! I take no offense at your use of ‘bro’ to me .. you have no way of knowing !! and i cant really thing of a word that works easily work anyway. Glad things are going well for you !!

I have always used what the birth certificate states as place of birth.

Marrying in the US on an ESTA then returning overseas will not be an issue. But you will need to demonstrate intent to reside in the US.. you may have to go ahead of your spouse have an established residence before the interview .. and make sure you meet the financial obligations or get a joint sponsor

No. They must be supplied by the issuing agency not produced any other way .. self printing will not do
