I think, he is likely to bring back the public charge rules they had before. When I filed the AOS for my spouse there was a lot more paperwork but it was manageable, the rule was as ended before my husband has the interview so we wasted a lot of time and money on the extra documents. Fees could go up but that is normal so I doubt they would raise them exorbitantly or anything. The cost of processing cases have probably increased so new fees will probably be needed. The more unlikely changes, would be to limit the categories of people eligible for a visa. They has been some push to remove sibling and parent green card options. I doubt they would go for the change but it’s not impossible. Of course this is all theoretical now, won’t know for a while what the actual plan is.

I’m also gay, so I can understand the worry. I think things will be okay, I doubt there will be much movement against lgb rights. Transgendered individuals might face more issues though.

I think you are unlikely to have any issues. They are not going to be able to deport people just because they are gay. I doubt any court would even agree to that no matter how conservative. The people that have the most to worry about would be DACA, undocumented people, or immigrants that have committed a crime.

No one can say for sure what he will do. I think USCIS is fee funded so it doesn’t get much funding that could be cut. I believe last time he directed USCIS to look at past cases for fraud. So, that slowed things down since staff was relocated, plus additional paperwork requirements that also slowed things down some. The only thing to really do is wait and see what happens. Change moves slow in government so the changes would not happen right away in January.

I think the site should have a dark mode option. I hate the white background, most sites have that option already. It would make using the site more enjoyable.

It takes 3 months to get an appointment for a license in Texas? The Ohio BMV is much better apparently, no appointments needed and I’ve never waited more than 20 mins to do anything in them. Plus you can visit any of the locations in the state it does not have to be a local one.

Did you get a DV visa approved in 2022? What happened with that? You said you were already in the US then.

I think if they have the receipt number for the reentry permit they would be fine. Did they say they wanted to permit sent to an embassy abroad or a US address? My spouse left the US around a month after applying for a reentry permit and was gone for more than a year before it was approved. It was almost two years away before visiting again. They send the permit to the US embassy where we were staying. He didn’t have any issues using the permit to visit after being gone for so long.

The census agency does sent out some surveys during non census years. On their website they have a way to verify it is from them. It’s always good to be careful when you get a letter but if you use the official site you would be fine. To your question, he can add your information if it requires it. The census is for everyone living there not just citizens. When the last actual census, I had to add my spouses information and he didn’t have his green card yet his was still waiting for the adjustment of status. You don’t have to worry about that part.

I’ve never been called for jury duty and I’ve been a citizen since birth. I wouldn’t worry about it. If it happens it happens if not all the better. I don’t know anyone that would want to go do it for the low amount they pay you.

What do you mean by US passport with a visa?

It doesn’t sound like a uscis issue. The documents are not password protected, when you download them. Are you sure the document is the one you are trying to open? If you have a Mac then you can look at recent documents that you opened. It may be in there.

They would be able to send the permit to the embassy in the country no need to come back for it or even wait for it to be approved before leaving. My spouse did a reentry permit when we relocated to Hungary and the permit was sent to the US embassy here with no issues. The permit took almost 18 months to process. We applied a month or so before we left the US. Did not have any issues traveling while it was processing. We took the receipt notice with us and to show at the border crossing if needed but was never asked for.

I assume that the daughter would have to wait the 5 years instead of the 3 that the spouse would? There wasn’t any dates mentioned so I’m unsure if she has been a resident long enough yet.

I did a quick search and there have been several news articles saying people’s citizenship applications have been denied for working in that industry even if it was legal at the state it was in. So it’s possible that your husband could be denied because of it.

We just sent back the same pages. I noticed that we had one page that was was filled out wrong so I did print that one new page but kept the rest. We didn’t have an issue doing it that way. I did get a money order for the second time to prevent any issues.

We bought a refundable round trip ticket and was able to get a refund on the unused portion so it end up being cheaper than a one way or even a non-refundable round trip.

Actually Hungary does not recognize the marriage as a partnership currently. I’m gay and married to a Hungarian. We currently are living in Hungary and had to go through a lot of hoops to get a new partnership formed so I could stay, since they would not just accept the marriage as a partnership automatically. I can’t speak for renewing passport if it asks for marriage status but if it does in the eyes of the Hungarian government you are single.

I’m surprised that it took them so long to figure out he wasn’t a citizen. He admitted to voting I wonder if that would block him from being able to get residency, even if he did not know he was unable to vote?

Hello, My spouse applied for a reentry permit in December of 2022. We left the US in February. I know it takes a long time to process but let’s say it takes two years to approve would it then be issued for an additional two years? So four years total from when he applied or do they count the time to approve against the validity of it? We’re not sure how long exactly we are going to stay out of the US. Also, if we need additional time we have to go back and reapply for a new reentry permit from within the US, correct? I looked for some answers in the forum but didn’t see exactly what I was looking for.

If you buy a return ticket you could look into getting a refundable instead of just canceling the return. It could end up being cheaper. We did that and got the money back so the first half end up being pretty cheap.

My spouse entered through Toronto when flying to the US on a k1 and didn’t have any issues.
