    Oh an ESTA. ESTA stay cannot be extended . Didn't you know that ?
  2. Lil bear
    There is no “ one that allows entry without paying”. ESTA application requires a fee of $21
  3. Lil bear
    On an ESTA ??? Visa waiver program?

    Successful extension applications of a visitor visa .. see that ALL the time .. not. Spend the $475, apply then deal with the long period before it’s denied c and v the impact of overstaying .. bye bye B2 visa ., Im am genuinely concerned that the your information just doesn’t reflect the reality of the visa world in many many ways 😓

    Yep. Visiting Canada or a Mexico for a reset …. Mmmmmm

    Busted or not .. it is, yes.. its what we have to deal with ..

    It can be 3 weeks to 9 months. No rhyme or reason. You haven’t listed your country ,. Z but it’s worth confirming with your country’s consulate that you must return your current payout when applying to renew. I know Australia used to have this policy.. But they no longer do., they just cancel the old passport electronically. If you do have to send it with your application, you could request an ADIT stamp as evidence of your LPR status. It is a separate piece of paper that will have your details , photo and the USCIS stamp https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/alerts/uscis-announces-additional-mail-delivery-process-for-receiving-adit-stamp

    Depending on the state she is in.. in many states you have to actually have a low income.. If you have no income then you fall through the gap .. and an LPR can’t get Medicaid in most states.

    Your wife as petitioner is always the primary sponsor even when unable to meet the requirements. She must file an I 864 with all required documentation. Her brother is the sole joint sponsor… and he must complete his own I 864 with all documentation . If he is married, it is recommended though not required, for his spouse to file the I 864a

    Travel insurance will not cover someone who is adjusting status. You’re looking at ACA insurance and monthly rates and deductible can be very high
  11. Lil bear
    Yes we did. Normal processing time Nothing quicker or easier second time around
  12. Lil bear
    She will need either the GC or a work permit to get a SSN. Work permits used to be processed more quickly than GC and were free if applying at the same time as the AOS.. But now processing times are similar and there is fee .. So its not really a lot of positives in applying for the EAD.

    Read the instructions for the I130 form and the information on the full process on this webpage and also on the govt site https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html Keep coming back here to ask for specific info or questions , clarifications etc. Good luck.

    It will work. It has to .. because the USCIS system won’t be able to get you through AOS because of your marriage /entry dates .., and it won’t let you naturalize without going through AOS because of the expiry date on the current card. Although it is a real pain to get this corrected, it is one of the simplest to document and easiest get through. Apply then move on. You have LPR status documentation for b the next 12 months and can get the ADIT stamp if its not done by then. Let us know how this journey goes !
  15. Lil bear
    Yes. The ADIT stamp is another one like the one placed in your passport on entry. The one received on entry is valid for 12 months only . If your card hasn't arrived and you need to travel overseas it is a better document to have than just the I791 https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-related-news/temporary-status-documentation-for-lawful-permanent-residents-lpr
  16. Lil bear
    Yes and if they ask for it , make sure you get a stamp in your passport from the service centre. Can be hassle convincing them you need an Appt but you need the documentation
  17. Lil bear
    😩 This needs to be corrected. You do not need to do ROC but the system will not be able to deal with any N400 application in the future if you don’t get it corrected or try to apply for ROC I90. No fee as its their mistake. Include a copy of your marriage certificate, photocopy of the endorsed visa showing the date of entry and a brief cover letter. Keep the GC and then the I791 receipt when you get it. Then just get on with life and be surprised when the corrected GC actually arrives !!!

    You don’t file /apply. They each do. They must have convincing evidence that they will be returning to their home country From the info you have given in your post, it is very likely that they will not be deemed as having strong home country ties. But they wont know for certain until they go through the process. So it is up to them if they want to spend the $ and possible be refused.
  19. Lil bear
    No. And No
  20. Lil bear
    Definitely more consistently and successfully uploaded with Transcripts

    You will need to run the numbers both way to see which is best. US tax deduction for filing joint is often a big savings .. And you can claim a deduction for foreign earned income and foreign tax already paid, which ensures you aren’t double taxed. Compared to IRS and US tax regulations, USCIS and immigrating is a walk in the park 😵‍💫.

    This is a complex tax year for you. Depending on your full situation , you may need to file a “dual status” year where you only report on income earned after the date you became an lpr .. So that includes the overseas earned income from your paid vacation time after you moved Prior to that, you are not a resident for US tax purposes, so do not include income earned before that date Some people also have the option of choosing to be considered a tax resident for the whole year.. so you declare all income for that tax period .. but you haven’t given us enough info to know if that might apply to you

    I haven’t read the numbers for UK sorry .. your question is really more complex than it read in your initial post. You have to gind the answers to 1. How many days in a single financial year do you need to be resident in the UK in order to be a UK resident for tax purposes 2. How many days were you residing in UK during that period without that info we can’t answer more than the basic principle as i have responded Happy to help more but i need more data !! It’s probably quicker to do a video/phone consult with a UK accountant who would answer it a lot quicker!!
  24. Lil bear
    No. Unlike the US , most other countries do not tax income earned by citizens who are not residing in the country Thankfully !! https://www.gov.uk/tax-foreign-income#:~:text=Whether you need to pay,'domicile') is abroad.

    Do a thread search using appropriate key works .. And you will find members who live in GA and who are doing/have done the AOS process.
