I am of the belief that if you and ex-Mrs.TBone sign an agreement with the school stating Mini-B can ride the bus that is designated for one of the 2 houses, it should be fine. The badging system should be smart enough to manage this. If it's not, then the board needs to go back to the developer and make them implement the change. I suspect it probably exists, but no one knows about it. That's my experience with software - many things exist but usually the person in charge from the purchaser's side has no flippin clue because they aren't a software person!

In Elementary, we were 1 block too close to qualify for bus service. My brother and I rode our bikes essentially until first snowfall. We hated walking. If mom wasn't working school days in the winter, she'd often give us a ride. In high school, we rode the city bus until we got our licenses. Similar thing - first bus came, second bus came because there were too many kids. Occasionally, I was like 2 seconds from the bus stop and the driver would see me trucking down the alley to get there and waited for me. I think badging is fine but like you said, it was all good until they were strict about one route. Your kid is in junior high...he's not an elementary school little who could legitimately be lost. If you sign some sort of agreement at the beginning of the year, it should be fine. I understand the legalities of it all, but it doesn't mean there shouldn't be some change to the policies, especially for parents like yourself and ex-Mrs. TBone who can adult and coparent effectively. Me too. Although my ex said some really awful things to Kid1 about me when she confronted him last week about being a bad, non-committal parent. He was diagnosed as a covert narcissist years and years back and that disorder was a large contributor to why we split up in the first place. He'd been managing things in a manner that was tolerable but this was crossing the line. I hope he doesn't suddenly attempt to speak to me because as far as I'm concerned, he's dead to me. Kid2 is nearly 16. When he turns 18, I'm beyond delighted to be done.

Iran is on the banned list. Your documents would be issued because you have more than one citizenship and that one of those citizenships is from a country that isn't banned. If your visa is issued, you are expected to move to the US and reside permanently. Considering the current administration and the thin line you're walking of being accepted simply due to Canadian citizenship, there is no way I'd contemplate applying for a reentry permit immediately after receiving your American PR. Even if a re-entry permit were issued, there is no guarantee it would be issued with a 2 year expiration.

Texas wants a wall because we need to keep the undocumented out but then no...the ones that are here are kosher! WT actual...yeah.

I can barely believe the garbage that is coming out of these apparent lawyer's mouths. “If those individuals are now not going to be able to get the appropriate licenses to provide the services that they do, then those services are not going to be available to the consumer, and so prices are going to go up because there’s less opportunity and there’s more demand,” she said. “I think it’s basic economics that it’s going to impact our community, and it’s not going to be in a positive way.” Ummm...nothing is going to change as far as availability of services. It will turn Thai Massage - unauthorized work behind the curtains. You'll have the same un-driving licensed HVAC dude driving the company van, delivering the same services without a TACL number. The difference is the state won't see their cut.

This is ridiculous. Agree whole heartedly that it's a Legislative issue. DPS don't judge immigration status for licenses - they send a SAVE verification and it either is or isn't. They are following the mandate from the results of the SAVE verification. Texas has enough issues with unregistered, uninsured vehicles driven by persons with no license or a suspended license. This is not going to help that. At all.

A couple of issues: 1. Tourists are not legal residents of Canada. The child might have a right to be there, but that status will need to be changed if the child was admitted as a tourist to Canada and obtained citizenship after entry. Mom can't interview in Canada as a tourist. Stepdaughter requires a legal residence to interview in Canada. 2. If you filed in August and they were already in Canada as tourists, your fiancé has long overstayed. She was likely issued a 10 year, multiple entry visa, but a single visit cannot last longer than 6 months. Overstays are not kosher with Canadian or US authorities. 3. Does your fiancé have full legal custody of the child? If not, the father will have to provide permission for you to bring the child into the US for the purpose of immigration.

Correct - those with dual citizenship that applied using their non-banned passport are supposed to remain eligible for a visa.

Did he formally rescind it?

Just curious why you didn't file the I-130 a year ago when you inquired here previously? You'd have been close to having actual I-130 approval already. The domicile bit still stands.

Pretty impressive that this flight attendant has survived. https://www.foxnews.com/us/laguardia-crash-air-canada-jazz-flight-attendant-survives There's a video on here that shows the moment of the collision. https://abc7ny.com/live-updates/laguardia-plane-crash-airport-reopens-collision-kills-pilots-air-canada-flight/18756609/ Condolences to the families of Antoine Forest and Mackenzie Gunther.

Cotton On has all the baggy sweats, jeans, linen pants, cargo pants, and shorts. They have a bunch of stuff on sale, too. Not super cheap, but probably cheaper than Hollister. They are also pretty good quality as both Kid1 and Kid2 wear them. Kid1 stole half her bf's sweats...poor dude will never get em back. Uniqlo is another place to look. I've been pretty impressed with their stuff. Kid2 has a Sponge Bob hoodie that has been through the wash a bazillion times and the screen print is fully intact, no cracking. The elbows are more likely to wear out first. Same goes for a Dragonball Z t-shirt - been through the wash tons of times and the screenprint looks brand new. I just watch for sales. It's tough being a manyager, though. Kids are definitely judgy little *beeps* sometimes.

Montreal is one of the slowest consulates out there. DCF is a shortER process, BUT, it doesn't necessarily mean it's fast. Expect 6-8 weeks for Montreal to look at anything.

As Appleblossom stated, Montreal has some of the longest wait times of any consulate. Some older "wisdom" a while back was to check shortly after midnight ET for appointments. Not sure how accurate it is, but apparently that's when some get released. Again, YMMV, but it certainly can't hurt. Good luck!

This is exactly what we did. It was significantly easier and it was definitely cheaper. Yeah, you want to begin your life together, but if it's a short amount of time, well worth it IMHO. We crossed into the US 1 day after our 1yr anniversary and received those 10 year greecards, even though our temp I-551's in the passports said CR-1/CR-2 (I have kids that were minors at the time). You have plenty of evidence, so don't stress about it. Having the actual boarding passes and other evidence of actual time spent is hugely helpful. I wouldn't stress about photos too much. If you had a nice wedding, excellent and sounds like you have nearly all of what you need from that alone. I wouldn't stress about a bank account, either. You can, however, list each other as beneficiaries on life insurance, pension policies and other long term, not so easy to change the beneficiary accounts, which definitely lean towards the side of serious, long term commitment from an outside viewer looking in. I don't blame your wife for not being transparent on socials. People are ugly out there and don't need to be all up in your business. My hubs isn't on socials other than LinkedIn and then my oldest got him watching TikTok videos; he's a shadow lurker by nature. I keep my own profiles locked down and don't share a lot myself. People that are invited to know, will know! We work at the same place and many people had no idea for years that we had dated, let alone gotten married. One of my colleague friends didn't clue in until she showed up at our house to borrow a ladder LOL! She assumed it was just my house. File taxes as married, filing separately as you'd stated, and get that I-130 filed.

There's always options...ICE or Musk...you know which one Trump is gonna choose! https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/elon-musk-offers-pay-tsa-salaries-amid-budget-battle-airport-lineups-2026-03-21/

I'd have thought so. There will be no question after this! https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/bush-hobby-airport-tsa-shortage-shutdown-secruity-wait-times/285-d1d9faa7-56cd-48fe-99f0-02cca3997a70

Someone on socials had posted the ATC dialogue at the time. Sounds like the fire unit was supposed to turn at D but turned at E and didn't listen when ATC called to stop. United had asked for the fire unit after smelling fumes. https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/flight-tracking-news/major-incident/air-canada-crj-collides-with-fire-fighting-truck-on-landing-in-new-york/

Correct. She needs her own account for her own petition.

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.
