Aww…don’t get modest. You have a fine way with words ….( compliment does not extend to content 😂…

All things change…including language . 😂 English speakers started using prosaic to refer to anything considered matter-of-fact or ordinary, and they gradually transformed it into a synonym for "colorless," "drab," "lifeless," and "lackluster." https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prosaic

A disturbing new report from Pregnancy Justice reveals that more than 200 pregnant women have been prosecuted since the overturning of Roe, marking the highest number of cases recorded in a single year since 1973. Several states have already granted legal rights to fetuses and embryos, as anti-abortion advocates play the long game, aiming for national recognition of fetal personhood—and the eventual outlawing of abortion altogether. “The idea is to say, [that] the Supreme Court isn’t ready to say that a fetus has constitutional rights– but what we’re going to do is build the case prosecution by prostitution, law by law," explains Mary Ziegler, a law professor and historian at UC Davis Law School.”

Um, pardon, but have any of you neurologists listened to the Republican nominee for president lately? Try this on: “Your kid goes to school and he comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child. And many of these childs, 15 years later say, what the hell happened? Who did this to me? They say, who did this to me? It’s incredible.” That was Donald John Trump speaking at a Moms for Liberty event, and apparently explaining his belief that schools are performing gender reassignment surgeries on “childs,” who are also apparently spending multiple days at their schools without returning home. You know, totally possible stuff that could definitely happen. https://www.alreporter.com/2024/09/04/opinion-donald-trump-now-lives-in-his-own-world/

Was your “harkening back to a time…” just waxing poetic then ?😂

That is all true , they did get approved with what they claimed. DIYers are a good bunch freely sharing their stories/facts for the good of the many. ..no reason to doubt. USCIS does change /update its ways often…and your initial assessment ( depends on the human employee making decision) is spot on. PS you never answered if your decision came from field office or service cente

If you use the VJ search button and look for I-290 B and or related words, you will come across the ones I have participated in. One not too long ago, drafted a template I walked her through. But you need not worry about using legalese vocab and just get started on draft and listing your evidence with each having that 1 `2 sentence description. ‘’You simply state the denial is a USCIS error . You have a solid relationship of x years and a bonafide marriage. Denial is capricious and arbitrary seemingly targeting interview waiver applications and so depriving us of the opportunity for an in person interview /NOID and opportunity to overcome allegations of insufficiency raised in the denial decision. Attached is extensive proof of our shared/joint life: 1. Bank of America checking account statement for Month, Year in both names . Auto ins and cell phone automatic payments reflected on day x ( don’t worry about changing how your accounts/payments are set up, just describe item . Not every one handles finances same way )

the Republican candidate for president has been saying : Last month in Wisconsin: “They will walk into your kitchen,” Mr. Trump said of undocumented immigrants. “They’ll cut your throat.” Later, he called the same people “animals.” This week in Scranton, Pa., he claimed (impossibly) that he would pay off the national debt despite his promises of massive tax breaks and new expenditures. After sniping at “stupid” Mitt Romney,… Ms. Harris, he claimed, is a “radical left Marxist” — a tame attack in comparison with another contention: that she was born “mentally impaired.” In Reading, Pa., he called “The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg “demented” as well as “filthy dirty, disgusting.” Then there is Mr. Trump’s latest crusade, to re-rename North Carolina’s Fort Liberty by dubbing it Fort Bragg once more, so that the base will again honor a Confederate general. This reignites a fight he waged as president, when he vetoed a bipartisan military spending bill over the issue — and saw that veto, also in bipartisan fashion, overridden. On Thursday at the Detroit Economic Club, he returned to the matter of immigrants: “We allowed them to come in and raid and rape our country. ‘Oh, he used the word rape.’ That’s right, I used the word rape. They raped our country.” To conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt, he conjured a fantastical statistic on global warming: “The ocean will rise one-eighth of an inch in the next 500 years.” In the same conversation, he embraced discredited theories of eugenics. Returning to the theme of illegal immigration, he again called immigrants murderers — asserting that “it’s in their genes.” He continued, “We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.” On Fox News, he insisted: “They’re being treated very badly in the Republican areas. They’re not getting water, they’re not getting anything.” Elsewhere, he declared that “Kamala spent all her FEMA money, billions of dollars, on housing for” — you guessed it — “illegal migrants.” These allegations of a politically motivated emergency response are false, but they have discouraged people in need of aid from going to the agency for help. (And, as it turns out, Politico reports, it was Mr. Trump who as president hesitated to give disaster relief to blue parts of the country.) source : Washington Post, no link available.

Right…but what era or decade does that actually refer to? Pick a time, so I can understand what you are longing to return to..

Consider yourself corrected 😂. ..only the denial and new evidence can be addressed decided on. If other housekeeping issues pop up they deal with after I-290 B AND they must give proper written notice plus time to overcome….

Great analysis. Gaming the system has potential booby traps …date of separation being just one example.

Nice research…but OPs wife was a K-1 so let’s just go with Don’t Worry about it w I-290 B …but it’s as good as expired /dead if new I-485 😂.

I hear you, and Field Offices have their own speed. ..but all of the ones I engaged in ( on VJ) for past 2 years have been reviewed and approved by FO Director ( thus fast) not certified ( stood ground on denial) and sent to AAO ( a bit longer there).

YES it does, immediately extend authorized stay

An I-290 B does NOT require a new medical and there is no identified deficiency. When they press the approved button , ( futile to future trip😂) they check and address if needed. My guesstimate for I-290 B approval is 60 days or less.

You know I adore you @OldUser and I know your affection for Hacking 😂…but there is nothing to “clean up”, unless a new basis . ..remember Jim is a little set in his “ ways”, refuses to amend an I-751…fought like hell to avoid online filing , among other things. But it’s the norm for attorneys to give varied responses …most applicants that hire counsel do not delve into detailed research of process …

If he had a deficiency in medical, would have been included in RFE .

It’s not hidden …try channeling that frustration ( and blaming ) into a focused / detail oriented presentation. You get lots of kudos for DIY …saving your family big $$ in legal fees. If you use the search feature and type in I-290 B you will see many threads and recent successes for I-485. Do not compare it to I-751 motions, different kettle of fish …where I-290 B is more a tactical delay strategy. In your case, w I-290 B you will not need new medicals and all underlying apps ( like I-765,I-131 will be revived )

‘’ Black maga vs white maga. Guess who the cop tackled first?‘’ ’’ Someday, a young grandchild will find a red MAGA hat packed away in an attic among the many possessions that once belonged to a grandparent... and they will look upon it with the same shame, loathing, utter humiliation and abhorrent disgust, as any of us would have... had we found a Nazi flag, or a white hood tucked away within the most personal possessions of our grandparents...‘’

Oh I know the movie you referenced w Richard Gere. 😂 Melania is the real life version that fits your description. …are you throwing shade on home state of Norman Rockwell 😂

😂 Melania ?! But she had posed for a pornographer, and given this existential circumstance, whose process was indelibly tied to mass circulation, sexual arousal and profit motive — the three universal pornographic requirements — she is merely trying to cover up her pornographic career as an artistic enterprise. https://www.atholdailynews.com/Columnist-Huer-57298830

Invariably a disgruntled ex makes allegations of marriage fraud when they complain/report their alien spouse to USCIS..so yeah, take the cavalry with you. The attorney that filed your I-751 case did a poor job if he allowed to hold back evidence such as marriage counseling…of course take it with you. Paying her $3K post divorce could help or hurt …imagine if ex reported that was a pay-to-play for your green card…

Congratulations on your baby news. his ‘ immigration issues ‘ won’t get easily solved , so prepare yourself mentally for the challenge. ..and budget for the legal help he will need. ..after BIA , in EOIR. It’s good he is on good terms w ex…but very odd that he introduced you to her as “ character reference “, so to speak. He has no choice but to apply for another adjustment/new petition…even though USCIS will definitely deny it. End of the road here is immigration court. https://www.cliniclegal.org/resources/family-based-immigration-law/spousal-petitions/five-things-know-about-fraud-and-marriage Section 204(c) May Apply Even if the First Petition Is Denied for Insufficient Evidence Rather than for 204(c) In another case decided last year, Matter of Pak, 28 I&N Dec. 113 (BIA 2020), the BIA rejected the theory that the section 204(c) bar should not apply where the prior petition was denied based on insufficient evidence and not on a formal finding of marriage fraud. The BIA determined that the bar to approval of a subsequent petition may apply regardless of whether the agency had explicitly made a finding of marriage fraud when it denied the first petition. The BIA found that “the broad phrasing and the absence of a temporal requirement” in the statute meant the bar could be applied anytime there is “substantial and probative evidence” of marriage fraud, which the BIA found present in this particular case. A more detailed summary of Matter of Pak can be found here: https://cliniclegal.org/resources/family-based-immigration-law/new-bia-decision-addresses-scope-ina-ss-204c.

Those are good questions, but they would have popped up at RFE if anything was amiss there.

The I-290 B gives you an opportunity to challenge the denial and marking both options , USCIS gets a chance to review your new evidence . They can quickly reverse the denial and approve based on new evidence or send it to the AAO . ..where you will,prevail as well. In your case, you’ll get a quick approval, just put your mind to it and gather your evidence. Remember, you are DIY a legal process ( not just a bunch of forms)…so put your lawyer hat on and take the next right step …the remedy here is to challenge. Also feel free to have some fun and voice your frustration with the “ arbitrary and capricious denial where the Service applies inconsistent standards in adjudicating interview waiver cases…with some getting the benefit of a NOID or an interview ..” Ask they review , approve or schedule an interview.
