Yes, you can. Yeah, the house is rented, but you're looking at more than a year before she can move. Having the house leased if you're living in MX isn't that unusual. USCIS and the DoS are well aware that things can change. It's more that they want to know your spouse is actually going to physically move and reside in the US, not play the border jumping game. -

If your wife was the beneficiary and received an IR visa, then SHE will be the one applying for naturalization, not you. She needs to have a USCIS account and she needs to fill out the paperwork. This tool will help. It doesn't guarantee eligibility, but then you can research further to ensure she meets the full eligibility requirements (sufficient years married & living together, domicile, physical presence). https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship-resource-center/learn-about-citizenship/naturalization-eligibility-tool-0 Agree - NEVER use AI for immigration advice. -
Your child will be a citizen of both the DR and the USA. You will file a CRBA to obtain a consular birth record and then apply for babe's US passport. Once your partner is awarded her I-551, she will travel to the US on her DR passport with the visa and your child will travel on their US passport. https://travel.state.gov/en/international-travel/living-abroad/birth.html

Welcome to the forum. You've landed in the correct place - we're all about DIY. If you search the "Guides" tab at the top, you'll find what you need. If there's nothing exotic about you or your spouse's past histories, then there's no reason you can't successfully navigate the immigration process yourself. You can file the I-130 while living in MX. The big thing will be once it's approved and you move onto the next phase of the process where you'll have to prove domicile. That's a hot minute down the road. I wouldn't mention anything about the rental house. It's not relevant at this time. The I-130 is essentially a character petition - USCIS are checking backgrounds for criminality and verifying whether or not you and your spouse fit into the honorable, not a menace to society bucket.

I can't really argue the incompetence part. It seems that there are a lot of incidents in that district. We've had issues, but we're also in MoCo so they take it pretty seriously. There was a kid stabbed with a wooden stake on campus 2 years ago but the kids that stabbed were from a different school in district. Something else happened that year too, but I can't remember what. We haven't had many issues that way of late, knock on wood. Our issue is the incompetent board so I suspect we'll see more issues because they are laying off support staff in an effort to save money after their outrageous overspending. Kid2 only has the rest of this semester and then 2 more years in district and I cannot WAIT to be finished with it.

Irrespective of one's desire not to return to Brazil, it is in the person's best interest that he return to Brazil. Illegally residing in a foreign country in addition to the unauthorized work in the US does not demonstrate good moral character and will become a hurdle in this immigration journey at some point. It will become a really large problem if arrested and deported from Canada. The potential charges and deportation would appear on a Canadian police records check and the US and Canada share certain immigration data. The current administration don't take immigration lightly. -
Blower motor for the main floor air handler is presently dead. Noticed a message on the "smart" thermostat on Saturday. Tech came yesterday - board on the motor fried. Had to wait until today to get the part. Soooo tired of "smart" things. It's a furnace blower motor...like why does EVERYTHING need a stupid electronic chip?! Needless to say, we had no AC yesterday and have no heat this morning until the HVAC guy arrives with the new one in hand. I have a little oil filled radiator style heater in my office with me. My doggo is laying near it. She runs pretty warm typically, but clearly even she's finding it a bit less than optimal since our windy cold front has rolled in.

They did. It was the visitor that let him in. He didn't get past the second set of secured doors, so the front office area. The campus administrators called the armed security person on campus and the incident was addressed. I saw the actual school released statement. That said, good ole Harris County set his bond at a measly $75K. That said, there were 3 separate incidents on 3 different Klein ISD campuses last week. One kid showed up with an unloaded handgun and was showing it to others. He was arrested by campus police, emergency expelled and the ISD is pursuing felony charges. On another campus, a kid brought a firearm and accidentally shot himself in the arm. Klein ISD seems to have higher numbers of these incidents and now the parents have banded together and are in the process of starting a safety coalition. The parents don't feel like there is sufficient response from district and state leadership.

Actually, it is VERY relevant. USCIS can find out this information and if they decide to use it against you, your overstay won't be your only worry. You guys have to file income tax as married now, for starters. Irrespective of whether or not you have your PR, if you meet the IRS substantial presence test, your world wide income my be subject to US taxes. If you get your PR and abandon it straight away, you are more than likely subject to income tax on your world wide income. You need to worry about more than just whether you'll be able to visit the US at this point in time.

Have you been running your company while you've been in the US?

The Snapple drinking, granola eating one. The other one, which hasn't observed time change in 60 years, is full of miners and agricultural workers. Did you unmute in the app? Sometimes you have to get to the stupid muted speaker, click and then hit volume up. https://www.airrosti.com/houston/?utm_source=paid-search-google&utm_medium=text-ad&utm_campaign=brand-houston It's unpleasant, but it works. My shoulder was frozen right up and they managed to get me moving and pain free. Spring break this week for us, thank goodness. That said, Kid1 is struggling again. Mental health is a real deal. They're cold! Kid2 changed out of Welding, thank goodness. He would NEVER in a million years be successful. That said, he has 7 AP courses next year 😲. Ugh...drives me bananas. Fine educators that can't English properly...just crazy.

Your phone broken? It likely has both Google Maps AND a flashlight! How novel! Physio or Airrosti? Time change is the biggest scam of all You really enjoy making your mornings more difficult, it would seem. It's significantly easier to rouse a manyager when you can open the curtains/blinds/etc and the light shines them in the face. DST is dumb. Period. I'm annoyed with the Ontarians that came up with the concept and as for countries adopting it, it hasn't been WWI for over a hundred years, and the art of war has changed dramatically, so why are we still changing clocks? At least my home province ditched the idea in 1966. Summer = sunny. Winter = dark. Done.

You'll have to find a local fingerprinting agency that can take your fingerprints and submit the request to the Canadian RCMP on your behalf. The request won't be "regular" records from the RCMP - it will be type - other and will include the entire holdings. Looks like these guys do it: https://thefingerprintroom.com/fingerprinting-services-new-zealand/ Any reason you're interested in a K-1 versus a CR-1 visa?
