  1. If this is something that has to be checked, it should be checked at the time of issuing of the license. Checking at the side of the road wastes both time and resources.
  2. I have been wondering the same thing. I assume my 2 year extension from N-400 is superseded by the 4 year extension from I-751. There is no way I would travel without the I-751 letter. I will probably leave the N-400 at home.
  3. Wisconsin also allows the voting public to recall elected representatives. He is not being recalled. Make of that what you will.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. No movement on my side. I am also going to file N-400 this month. Hopefully that will get it moving!
  7. 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.
  8. 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).
  9. 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.
  10. It does. I am indeed free to not purchase a firearm.
  11. 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.
  12. 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!
  13. 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!
