    https://www.boundless.com/blog/new-health-insurance-requirement-explained/ Agree this isn’t an issue but this article was not exactly hard to find, or unique.

    I think the exemption you are speaking of is the Closer Connection rule. This is how tourists (who remain tourists) can avoid US tax residency even if they spend a lot of time here. Unfortunately it would not apply to you, as I see you have a pending AoS and have therefore taken steps towards permanent residency. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/closer-connection-exception-to-the-substantial-presence-test

    No movement on my side. I am also going to file N-400 this month. Hopefully that will get it moving!

    When it comes to entering the US as a non-LPR/citizen, you’d do well to understand that it is fully down to the discretion of CBP. I had a similar experience to your fiancée once: entering for comfortably less than permitted (but longer than most people could practically do), letter from employer, savings, mortgage statements showing ties to home country etc etc. I was going by the book and had evidence to prove it. I was still *this* close to not being let in. The officer was just super skeptical, rightly or wrongly. You just have to understand that they can give a hard time or deny entry and rather than getting angry that it isn’t fair, which I have sympathy with, find a way of avoiding the situation in the future - ie use the B2 less.

    I would suggest you get a new phone which can run two SIM cards. I moved my UK number to GiffGaff (only top up when needed in Europe) and got myself a US number on Mint ($15/month).

    For anybody stumbling upon this thread in the future, you can now ignore any talk about WEP. The Social Security Fairness Act was signed into law by President Biden on 01/05/2025 and repeals the WEP and GPO. As for any Brits wondering how to pay NICs from overseas: I filled out the form and now HMRC sends me a once yearly bill/notice requesting around £150. I pay by bank transfer. In return, I get a full year of NIC credit.

    It does. I am indeed free to not purchase a firearm.

    What if you live in a state where the ‘crazy herd’ has taken away your right to an abortion? Not everybody can ‘just move to California’, as you say. I’ll let you in on a little secret: if you don’t want to get an abortion, you don’t have to get one.

    Yeah, I know it will be fine. It’s just last time I entered after my GC expired, I encountered a particularly rude CBP officer who demanded I ‘prove to him that I have GE’, as his system showed ‘no trace’ of me. Fortunately I carry the plastic GE card with me (even though they *specifically* tell you it is not needed). That did enough to convince him that I did have GE, but I was hoping to avoid any interaction in future. Guess not!

    Thanks. I just tried to update mine as I am travelling in a couple weeks. I got the error message saying the document couldn't be verified. Some system!
  30. P055UM
    Have you travelled abroad since updating it? How was your experience re-entering the country?

    So a ~3% approval rate at eight/nine months out. My expectations were low, but that is even lower than I thought it’d be.

    Working is likely a not possible, or at least annoyingly tricky. You already have to best route figured out by using the B1/B2. Come here for a while, get to know your partner, their life, their city etc etc. You won’t be able to work but honestly you wouldn’t learn all that much from it anyway. I did this kind of thing on a ESTA when we were LDR. The long stay got a little more scrutiny at the PoE than normal, but ultimately it was fine. Just be honest in all the questions they ask, make sure you bring plenty proof of ties to home country, have a return ticket and plan on leaving well before the expiry of your I-94!

    Anybody had any movement on their case yet? I’m still over here playing the waiting game. I will be filing N-400 in February 2025. Hopefully that will move it along if it is still stuck then.
