  1. Also, that is an actual question that they do actually ask, it's on the form. So are you changing your answer from "yes" to "it's pretty insignificant?"
  2. First, "Trump's changes" for legal immigration processes so far just seem to be actually following the laws on the books that seem to have been very loosely or not followed at all by previous administrations, by both Democrats and Republicans. Second, if I had a nickel for every lawyer who has given me bad advice, both personally and online, I would be laying on my yacht in the South Pacific asking the steward for my next margarita. Third, "some weird people online" .... almost everyone online is weird and are looking to say the most outrageous things to get clicks, likes and views, which eventually is monetized content for them. Now, will the government shutdown cause some delays, maybe. However, this process is funded by all the fees we pay, so I don't believe it will come to an absolute standstill.
  3. OMG, these are some of the worst answers I could even imagine. First, @MMRF, quit believing everything you see on the news. I want to be an American because I desire to have the freedoms set forth in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution that many other countries just don't offer. I want to have the ability to achieve the American dream and the ability to be successful in that endeavor. I want to participate in my civic responsibilities, as an American, to make a better future for myself, my family, and all Americans.
  4. If you have a joint sponsor willing, then I recommend doing it in advance. If you have a reluctant but willing joint sponsor and try without one, then go to the interview, get the 221g (if they give you one) and submit the joint sponsor's information; realize though that this can add an additional 2-3 months or more.
  5. Yes, but the $330 is only if you actually are awarded correct? An application fee could be some big money. If you're saying $170 to apply and then $330 additional if you actually win, count me in! I like that idea.
  6. Well, I was going to respond that maybe it's this kind of thinking that has us over $37t in debt; but now I'm thinking maybe a $20 fee is more appropriate - speaking of lottery, some scratchers are $50 now. Anyway, $1 definitely seems too low considering there is an application, a web portal, a computer system, database, etc., that all needs to be designed and maintained.
  7. Excellent point. Now, we just need to implement an additional $5000 "adjustment of status fee" so maybe people will stop changing their intent at baggage claim. 😝
  8. Looked up address, it's the Cloud One hotel in NY. In addition to the inaccuracies, my concern would also be if this same agency uses that address for every single client, I would think the COs would start to get a bit suspicious.
  9. Yeah, but if you think about how many applications they receive every year it's some pretty decent bank - 11.8 million applications for 2021. Yes, I know $11.8 million in government terms is not much but maybe it's this type of thinking that needs to be fixed.
  10. OK, as i suspected, the typical accuracy of government timelines we've all come to know and love.
  11. Just curious for the Ft Myers people, when you all login to your myUSCIS account and look at the progress tab, what is the time estimate given?
  12. I'm just gonna ask here. How on Earth does someone, or multiple people in this case, apply for a tourist visa and then wait 6, 8, 10 months for an interview to "escape some fear of threat from their government, etc.," get approved for a tourist visa and then claim "asylum?" As a side note here, my Peruvian wife has been watching the case of the Peruvian with the food truck that was recently put in "Alligator Alcatraz," who apparently is also claiming "asylum" and I'm sorry, I lived in Peru for 12 years and there is no more danger (probably less actually), than living in Chicago. Even many Peruvians think this is fraud.
  13. Terrible example really, "a tiny harmless ant" like a bulldog ant? or a supercolony of argentine ants? We either have rules and laws that apply to everyone or we don't; the minute we start making exceptions, the "harmless ant" is soon followed by an entire colony of ants, who are then followed by serpents using the precedents set by the ant.
  14. Sorry, yes it was an Application Support Center ....seems like a lot of space for not a lot of activity.
  15. We applied N400 - Ft Myers. Went for biometrics and the whole place was virtually empty. Seems like it will be a slow process.
