  1. passport or national ID it would help V J community answer your query if we knew what country is his home
  2. Agree, we don't know the whole story he served over 3 years and was eligible to apply for citizenship after 1 year service If you served honorably in the U.S. armed forces for at least one year at any time, you may be eligible to apply for naturalization. So, why didn't he? Discharged in 2003 and just getting green card / he could have applied for citizenship under 5 year rule too Unless we know the whole story and not what the media likes to play up for the shock, then and only then can we really know who is at fault. https://www.uscis.gov/military/naturalization-through-military-service#:~:text=If you are serving or,and Nationality Act (INA). While some general naturalization requirements apply under INA 328, other requirements may not apply or are reduced. To establish eligibility under INA 328, you must: Be 18 years old or older; Have served honorably at any time in the U.S. armed forces for a period or periods totaling at least 1 year; Have submitted a completed Form N-426, Request for Certification of Military or Naval Service (PDF, 288.38 KB), at the time of filing your N-400, if you are currently serving, or a photocopy of your DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, NGB Form 22, National Guard Report of Separation and Record of Service, or other official discharge document for all periods of service if you are not currently serving; Demonstrate that if separated from service, you were separated under honorable conditions; Be a lawful permanent resident at the time of your naturalization interview; Meet certain residence and physical presence requirements; Demonstrate the ability to read, write and speak English, unless qualified for a waiver or exception; Demonstrate knowledge of U.S. history and government, unless excepted; Demonstrate good moral character for at least five years before filing your N-400 through the day you naturalize; and Demonstrate an attachment to the principles of the U.S. Constitution and be well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States during all relevant periods under the law, unless waived.
  3. Make sure he has the criminal report from Germany (if needed) before he leaves for his country he will be filling out the ds 160 and use his home country address plus u should inform NVD and his embassy at home
  4. he will have a layover in Europe so do they have a direct flight to Dallas or Houston? If so , pick him up at international terminal at baggage claim (arrivals) If he has to stop at POE inside US prior to Dallas or Houston, Pick him at at domestic terminal at baggage claim (arrivals) BTW if he is going thru Canada (like Toronto , etc) they have US customs clearance Be careful how u purchase the ticket make sure it is on one ticket purchase to US and not 1 to Paris , get new ticket there and continnue -so to speak - as that requires a French visa this has been an issue in the past for Moroccans if just a layover for many places (Paris and Canada) the US visa allows transit without a transit visa
  5. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/the-taxation-of-foreign-pension-and-annuity-distributions US has tax treaty with UK As a general rule, the pension/annuity article of most income tax treaties allows for exclusive taxation of pensions or annuities under the domestic law of the resident country (as determined by the residence article). This is generally true unless a treaty provision specifically amends that treatment. For example, some treaties provide that the country of residence may not tax amounts that would not have been taxable by the other country if you were a resident of that country. There also may be special rules for lump-sum distributions. With respect to government pensions/public pensions/annuities (typically covered under the Government Service article) or social security payments, generally the payments are only taxable by the country in which the government is making the payments. Note that what constitutes a government pension or public pension is dictated by the treaty, and the rule may apply narrowly. Read under Tax Treaty Residency Issues
  6. she needs to attend interview she will be in AP after interview while embassy waits to receive spectrum tests results and all medical reports your case status on CEAC will say refused till the AP is completed the following is where to check https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx allah yekbel
  7. 2 different things here IRS tax transcripts need no W2 as instructions state (for AOS) copy of your federal tax returns (1040 ) would need copy of W2 and any 1099's
  8. daughter would have had own I 130 if wife on spouse visa as it has no derivatives so, ROC for child is separate filing and u need $750 for each
  9. received letter today from Tennessee Elections Division that read as follows: Our office has received information that appears that your voter information matches with an individual who may not have been a US citizen at the time of obtaining a TN dL or ID card/ ETC Etc He wasn't a USC but was here legally with the IR1 visa. they sent him a form to remove his name from voting registry Don't these offices ever check with immigration? Adil was legally here when getting his DL and SS # He took his natuaralization certificate to elections board to register to vote in 2019 after taking the oath. We followed all the rules so what the world is wrong with this whole system? i thought all this was behind us. this really XXXXXX me off.
  10. U can't sue but spouse visa denial can be appealed by Immigration Court .but i don't advise it. As most know we went thru denial after answering huge RFE and then appealed the NOIR and we are married over 14 years and happy and doing good BUT i think most USC's should seriously consider the CO decision as a warning and maybe try to learn why the denial These CO's live in the country of the embassy,, know the people, see the paperwork and understand more about the circumstances than we do I don't know if a CO is allowed to violate the privacy of the immigrant by saying things like " :hey, your fiancee is talking to and telling many women he loves them" CO can check the ds160 or ds 260 info on the social media but this happens. We have even seen some come, marry , get the green card , then divorce and apply for a person back home And one woman flew into Atlanta and text her fiancee that CBP wouldn't allow her in and then he saw her leaving in another car Yes, divorces happen and even if married to another USC marriage was no guarantees but there are reasons (good ones) to deny or want more proofs of a relationship and we need to trust the judgement of a trained professional
  11. We also encourage everyone, including noncitizens, to seek necessary medical care, including treatment or preventive services for COVID-19. You may seek pandemic-related benefits and services (including food assistance, housing programs, and others) for which you are eligible—without fear of negative consequences to your immigration status. from USCIS site https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/public-charge/public-charge-resources
  12. Our experience for what it is worth MIL came on tourist visa to see if she may want us to apply for the CR1 1. very homesick as 5 other sons and her grandchildren 2. she also missed the Moroc festivals and spent much of her time on cell talking to people back home which at times was hampered by the time difference. 3. she was diabetic and cost of her 2 medicines were over $600 a month with trips to US drs for the prescriptions to be written 4. she was ill when here and we thought sugar level as that was off but turned out to be appendictis and when home needed surgery / would have cost a pretty penny here but only $1000 back home. At present Adil is in Moroc getting laser surgery for her to save 1 eye (from the diabetes) 5. Health care costs vary by state/ u can get lower premium packages but they carry the huge deductables KFF reported the average 2023 deductible for marketplace plans sold via HealthCare.gov, (combined for medical and prescription drugs) by metal rating: $7,481 for Bronze plans, $4,890 for Silver plans, $1,650 for Gold plans, and $45 for Platinum plans. 6. and the 2 things needed by seniors (eye and dental )are not covered under Affordable Health Care The Affordable Care Act does leave two forms of insurance for adults out of its provisions — vision insurance and dental coverage. 7. We took her to visit 8 states from city of chicago to Atlantic Beach in NC but it wasn't as good as her home, family and friends And we have numerous Muslim community here and some invited her to dinner but not as good as home
  13. Does it list a US address as his home base , then yes

  22. it is not a taste it is Sisu is a unique Finnish concept. It is a Finnish term that can be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity. Sisu is not momentary courage, but the ability to sustain that courage. It is a word that cannot be fully translated.
  23. Even if u find work now , your 2023 tax return would not show a full year of wages How will u show u can afford the health care insurance to overcome the totality of circumstances so your fiancee will not become a public charge u assume brother will support her but the I 134 is not an agreement to actually support the immigrant and is not legally binding like the I 864 for spouse visa I would say that u not only need a job but need to show steady employment to apply to support financially your fiancee and u need to look into the AOS process and expenses as after a US marriage this is quite costly on top of looking into health care insurance costs in your state to show u can afford this at the interview filing now without steady employment could mean a denial
