  1. The major reason some folks need large book passports is if their travel pattern includes frequent visits to countries that still issue full page single entry visa stickers.
  2. By the N400 instructions it seemed to us that the evidence of support only applies to children who do not live with you or for whom support orders exist. If they are living with you, that fact alone is proof you support them. We selected "resides with me" and checked "Yes" for providing support for the child, and left it at that with no further evidence or commentary since it seemed not to apply.
  3. You could baselessly speculate that any big unexpected change in that meaningless number 'might' mean your case reached some kind of internal milestone that triggered it to recalculate and that could possibly indicate some sort of movement. Any sort of movement could generally be seen as positive. My wife's I-130 was approved shockingly fast and very unexpectedly only about two weeks after I submitted additional unsolicited evidence.
  4. We left them blank and had no problems. However, under the previous itineration of the current administration there were a handful of cases that were rejected or even outright denied for not putting N/A is blank spaces. It may have only been certain agents or applicants they didn't like for other reasons, but since it has happened before, it's probably a good idea to put N/A where filing paper forms these days.
  5. It is formally on TSA's own list of acceptable documents. Maybe print it for them as a reminder? https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification DHS trusted traveler cards (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)
  6. Generally, getting married sooner would be better than getting married later. Because it starts the two year clock on the CR1 becoming an IR1 should the immigration case take that long.
  7. It is a valid "REAL ID" without address in circumstances where that may be relevant.
  8. I think the Global Entry Card is just proof someone has Global Entry. It is not really stand alone PROOF of any citizenship. Under most circumstances Global Entry allows someone enter without showing any documents but it's not guaranteed and they definitely are going want to see a real passport book or card if there is any question. Once some corrupt Tijuana police was hassling us and when he saw my wife's Global Entry card he asked "SENTRI ?". We said yea SENTRI and for some reason he instantly got all polite, handed it back and left. I have no idea why that made a difference but it somehow impressed a corrupt TJ cop one time.
  9. I have not personally heard of a case where someone was outright denied a CFO certificate due to the having no ROM. I have heard of cases where people were significantly hassled and delayed for not having a ROM. CFO would definitely make an issue of not having one. If you are going to file one anyway, the path of least resistance would be to just file it now. Neither of you are required to appear at the consulate. It can all be done by mail. Generally, the consulate would get you a certified copy of the filed ROM pretty quick and CFO would be happy with a copy of that even it took longer for PSA to get it.
  10. They went through LAX trouble free today so it officially works. Global Entry had a new (to me) facial recognition system at LAX TBIT today whereby they completely eliminated the kiosks altogether. They are gone. Now there are just two lanes with a screen next to them and people walk up and get flashed, green screen "GO" or red screen see the officer. It was practically instantaneous and barely even required anyone to break their stride walking out of the airport. You literally just walk straight through and out the door. If it wasn’t for some people people stopping because they were obviously confused about the meaning of the green "GO" screen, I’m sure is could handle a person every few seconds non stop. For the cards I figured, although citizenship is written on it, the main function of the card it just the RFID which is scanned if you use it crossing a land border. It should link to whatever is in their server and that is what the CBP Officer sees on his screen. If they required any further proof of citizenship or ID they would need to see a passport card or book, not the Global Entry Card. So we didn't bother updating the cards. But haven't tested that theory either.😁
  11. That is about the only reason the petitioner ever needs a CENOMAR or Advisory on Marriages. Plus maybe a very small handful of unusual cases where an individual consul asked for one for their own reasons. The beneficiary always needs one or the other. No exceptions. In various embassy instructions they confusingly use the terms "CENOMAR" and "Advisory on Marriages" interchangeably. Basically the beneficiary orders a CENOMAR from PSA and whichever document they get back is the one the embassy wants to see.
  12. I would assume "Canadian Geese" will be declared a terrorist organization since they are proven to have previously downed US civilian airliners using suicide attacks. I would think these "Canadian Geese" would be deported to El Salvador along with any other Canadians who might have suspicious geese affiliations or sympathies.
  13. Her NBI Clearance is also accepted as ID.
  14. We just departed the US and the Pre✓ still worked correctly so it seems all is well. Coming back next week so by then we will know for sure.
  15. Yea! Gen Z is getting back all the sweatshop jobs making Nikes for $10 a day that Vietnam stole from them😅🤣😥😥 The "homeless" bums around here won't even take a job flipping burgers at McDonald's for $20 an hour. They beg for handouts in front of signs saying "hiring". Companies are desperate for workers and can't hire people at way higher wages then I got when I was young. Why will they take over sweatshop jobs for the same or less.
