This was going to be my suggestion. Then you both might get a holiday out of the deal and it will be just the 2 of you to really spend time together. Another consideration to manipulate flights to give you better options is to put in a time when you want to arrive. It often helps. Or, either plan to spend more to get a better route or make an overnight stop at JFK, grab a quiet hotel room, have a breather and then proceed.

Definitely not mocking, denigrating or casting aspersions! Absolutely think you deserve someone who's the peanut butter to your jelly. Get yourself one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Accessories-Kitchen-Cookbook-Whiteboard/dp/B09668W7NK/ref=asc_df_B09668W7NK?mcid=3f0fc7fa2cc83738882cddd14422ce0f&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693405620605&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5931506800820510992&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9189406&hvtargid=pla-1379446879414&th=1 It should open up the possibilities for you to try some different things. Basically anything can be cooked in the air fryer. I usually do refrigerated chicken breasts. Season. Toss in basket. Flip half way through. Since you're local, we quite like the John Henry seasonings and rubs. My brother makes me haul the Texas sized bags of it up to Canada for him. When I was stuck up in Canada waiting on our interviews, hubs brought like 4 or 5 bags of it. I was headed to visit and Kid2 made me bag the seasoning like 5 times because he hated the smell of it and, of course, it was in the back of the vehicle behind him for the 7 hour car trip 😄. Do you BBQ grill? We do foil packs with potatoes, carrots and whatever else, a little bit of olive oil, seasoning and chuck it on. When it's nearly cooked, we do the proteins. I also really like a sweet potato foil wrapped and cooked to perfection. I keep meaning to try some peanut butter on said potato because rumor has it, it's delish. Shouldn't you be working on flipping that around? I mean you were the other half of the whole life giving...indentured servitude required! 🤣

This all sounds rather....contractual. If I think that and I'm just a layperson off of the street, how do you think that will look to a CO, trained to adjudicate a case and sniff out fake relationships?

If you have a MyUscis account, you should be able to see the status. It should go from "Oath ceremony will be scheduled" to "Oath ceremony scheduled". You should be able to see the date and time in your MyUscis portal. You will be mailed a letter that you will bring with you to the oath ceremony, with your greencard. Considering how much has been going on in the government over the past couple of weeks and the upcoming President's Day holiday, 5 weeks isn't worrisome. If you're bored, start filling out a passport application so one can head to the passport office after receiving the Certificate of Naturalization.

So, Ari and Bini...all fake news? She was all proud of him as he danced at the Superbowl halftime show. Didn't seem like simply a happy manager happy, either. Lil too happy for "just" a manager who used to control all of his socials.

Valid point, honestly. I know canned and premade frozen items are quick and easy, but often carry unnecessary fat and carbs. It's recommended that you get 0.36g protein/pound of body weight. Getting 20-30g/meal is pretty ideal. The air fryer is pretty genius. I cook chicken breasts in it all of the time. Sheet pan meals in the regular oven are pretty easy, too. Put some foil over the cookie sheet for easy clean up, possibly some non-stick cooking spray, depending on what you're making, load er up, shove er in and a bit of time later, voila! Real food! I can't do much dairy, so my quick and dirty is an egg scramble (usually one full egg with added egg white for protein) with taco seasoned (watch the sodium) ground turkey and a smidgeon of cheese for breaky. We just got a new, gluten free taco seasoning because Kid1 appears to be gluten sensitive and it's delicious! Maybe a great dating opportunity, when you finally find a worthy lady friend, would be some sort of culinary class. Or, it might be a great thing to do with Mini TB. One day, he'll need to woo the ladies! I did a mozzarella making class with one of my besties and hubs and I did a sourdough class. I want to do a barista class at some point. Just something a bit different and totally fun

Adding to this, CBP is NOT in any, way, shape and/or form obligated to give her a 6 month admittance. They could decide in that moment that it's a week and that's what she gets. Have you guys checked her I-94 to see how long she was legally admitted for with each stay? Visitors to the US should treat it as a privilege. Obtaining an immigrant benefit in future is also a privilege. The US owes her nothing. The same is true for you in her country - it's a privilege to visit her and her country owes you nothing. When you accept this and adjust your expectations, you'll find yourself in a better position.

$22 later and the washing machine is repaired. Financially savvy! Sure beats a fat stack of cash to replace the thing when the rest of it was fine. Just needed a new cold water inlet valve controller.

Agree! Hubs is going to be annoyed - he wasn't supposed to be home for another 2 hours so I made chocolate chip banana muffins for Kid1. He hates the smell of banana. Joke's on him, I guess. Now, if the washer part I need would just arrive already so I could repair the washing machine, one headache of mine would go away...

F1 although Ben Sulayem is ruining it for everyone these days. When there's more time or something interesting: Hockey - I was born a Canuck so ya know... Football - CFL - Watermelon head for SK here...

You may want to check out this thread: Yes, it says EB-2 but there's the gamut of EB's in there. Some people managed, after becoming documentarily qualified (I-140 approved) to get an interview within a couple of months, but many have waited a year. Not sure how many have had premium processing. What is your home country? That will potentially have an impact. Additionally, family reunification visas are prioritized (CR/IR) as they do not have limits. So, some months you will not see an interview letter sent for an EB visa case.

Never received anything from CRA. if you filed your income tax and paid exit taxes, you should be good to go. You can probably log into your CRA account, if you still have access, and check from there. CRA are FAR from organized, so expect nothing. Especially the NR division.

2 year validity. Shouldn't need a new one.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-864a Did you not file income tax as married? Your income will likely be requested, anyway.

Your temporary I-551 in your passport serves as your greencard for up to a year until your physical greencard arrives. Make sure you pay the fee to have the card issued. A greencard, temporary or permanent, awards you permanent residency in the US. There is no separate work authorization or travel permit needed because you are already a PR - people are issued those documents when they are adjusting status and haven't yet been awarded a greencard.

Agree. I grew up with a military training base in my back yard. Incidents happened, but nothing quite this spectacular, for lack of a better word. I wish my granddad were alive. He had a history with choppers in the RCAF, eventually ending up as commander of the 422 Tactical Helicopter Squadron and would likely have some interesting insights about this whole scenario. The flight data recorders from the AA aircraft have been recovered and apparently there is high confidence the recorder from the helicopter will also be recovered. Wonder how long until an Aircraft Investigation episode appears with the deep dive into this incident.

It doesn't matter whether it was that base or Ft. Belvoir. The point is the radio communications systems are different and sharing airspace can become complicated. The potential lack of familiarity with the civilian flight paths by the helicopter crew highlights the complexities of sharing said space and the demonstrated hazard of having them in such close proximity. In general, it seems like a potential national security issue to have a civilian airport so close to the Pentagon and White House.

@MADE24 you've been asked repeatedly to please fill out your timeline. Please do so: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=386909 Are you a Canadian by birth, a naturalized Canadian or a Canadian PR?

The military base is across the river from Reagan. I don't fully understand why the airport is there considering so is the Pentagon. It's still an awful situation. I just hope the people onboard didn't suffer.

Wonder if his panties are in a wad and this was put on the radar, in part, because of LaHood's bill. https://www.imidaily.com/north-america/bill-to-end-overseas-american-taxation-expires-but-could-it-make-a-comeback-experts-doubtful/ Neither likely to pass I'd say because either would require an onerous rewrite of the tax code.

I know this has come up many times in the past, but an employer cannot prevent you from starting work because you haven't yet received your SSN. People need to know their rights because there are a lot of HR people that are not familiar or don't care to look at the instructions for the I-9. List A documents, which establish both identity and right to work, include your endorsed I-551 in your passport. By presenting this, you are legally entitled to work. The SSN is really so the employer can pay the IRS the required withholdings on your behalf. The employer gets in trouble with the IRS, not USCIS or anyone else, if they don't pay these withholdings. There is a grace period because it is understood that the SSA may not have issued the number or there can be a delay in getting an appointment with the SSA now that there are no longer walk-ins being accepted.

Often, smaller credit unions are more forgiving than big banks when it comes to documentation. Just something to keep in mind.

Be aware that you might be asked to complete biometrics. I would wait until after the biometrics notice is issued and if you have to complete biometrics, you do it then travel. Edit to add: or, just wait to file until you've returned from your trip.

The first thing to remember is there's rarely anything quick about immigration. It all takes time, money and patience. Our very knowledgeable @Crazy Cat offers this list for comparison: K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. Your mileage may very, but the senior members of the community would agree with the accuracy of this list. Additionally, a good chunk of the community who've come on a K-1 have also stated if they had to do over, they'd have done the CR-1. The complete dependence on a partner after moving to a foreign country is typically challenging for the beneficiary.

No. Just follow the instructions. Don't complicate the application by sending unnecessary items. As @Lil bear stated, it's a renewal and does not require ongoing proof of the relationship.
