Legal Alien

As soon as I saw the still with the impact location, I knew he was dead. It was the deadliest shot one could take aside from straight through the heart, deadlier than the head even. I didn't even have to see the half gallon of blood that came out nearly instantly after. I do not believe he was taken out of there alive, even though they may have tried all they could at the hospital. The ATF source that leaked to Crowder about the trans and antifa stuff engraved on the ammo said something to the effect that Charlie was shot and killed at around 12:20pm. He didn't say he was shot and taken to the hospital where he passed away. I have watched the video a few times and I do not believe anyone can survive that longer than about 30 seconds. My horse had a ruptured artery from a fall and was gone in seconds, this was not much different. I think he went for the neck on purpose because Charlie was under that tent and the shooter was elevated. Also, they might have not wanted to risk what happened in Butler. Charlie would often turn his head while listening and speaking like Trump did right at that moment. The neck was the safer bet and incredibly deadly. I think this WAS a skilled marksman. I also think it was a professional hit and that we will never hear the truth about it, just as we never heard the truth about Butler and are still being told there was only that kid on the roof while audio analysis has proven there were multiple shooters, plus there was footage of at least another shooter on the water tower. I really feel punched in the gut from this. Out of all conservative commentators and debaters, Charlie was the nicest of them all. Future president if you ask me. Whoever is taking his words out of context has either never fully listened to what he said, or they are brainwashed. You can disagree with his views, sure. But you can never say he didn't have good arguments to support his claims or that he was disrespectful. Charlie was a better person than 99% of the people I know. It feels personal. As if we, conservatives, are being hunted for our opinion. It has felt like that since Covid, but this just took it a step further. I am so appalled by some people, it is unthinkable to me to EVER celebrate ANYONE'S death, let alone a guy who literally loved God and the world and tried to educate young people and teach them to think for themselves. Black, black day.

Charlie Kirk just got shot in the neck. Prayers for Charlie!

Because of all the timing issues and not being sure when stuff would be approved and with that all the cost of the petitions, medical, moving etc., my husband and I decided to just do the Utah online marriage thing when I arrived in the US. No stress, in our dining room, my hoodie was my wedding dress and it was quite a funny experience, having two complete strangers from the Philippines as our witnesses who were cheering after we were pronounced husband and wife. It was so surreal that I wondered if it was een real, but lo and behold, we received our marriage license from the State of Utah a few days later and had no issues with USCIS whatsoever, other than her asking why on earth we got married in Utah, after which we told her the story. We are planning to have an actual wedding later on, possibly in The Netherlands, without stress and when we have saved up more money. I highly recommend this route, those three months are short, there is already many adjustments and I also wanted to make sure I had my complete AOS filed before my I-94 expired. Setting up the laptop for the zoom call took longer than the actual ceremony. So if you want to do yourself a favor, I'd do something like that and plan a nice wedding in France once the AP or the green card is in hand.

Gather all the information you possibly can. She might not remember the exact address, but she might -at least- remember what city or town it was and maybe the street. And if you know that much, Google earth may help you find the #. Whatever you really can't find, explain in a cover letter with your application. It's better to explain than to wait months only to get an RFE and you have to explain then.

Mine arrived Friday! Yay!! Social security card arrived as well.

Mine was shipped today!

Oh that's quick!

You are overthinking it! But that's good. It's better to be over prepared than not prepared enough! Birth certificate: send a copy and bring ALL original documents you sent copies of to the interview. They probably won't even ask for them, but better safe than sorry. Only send what they ask. If they don't ask for the booking confirmation, don't send it in but take it with you to the interview. If they ask a copy of something, send a copy and bring the original. Also, make a copy of the entire file you send in (with exception of the medical file, do NOT open that!) and bring that with you as well. Also bring all proof of relationship with you to the interview. They didn't ask for any of the stuff I brought to the interview, but I was glad I had it all with me just in case. They also like to see people who are organized and prepared. When is your interview? Good luck!

Isn't there a spot on the form somewhere at the end where you can add additional information? I would just explain that there and go with the current legal name. If no space, maybe add a cover letter explaining just to be sure.

Is everyone in this July 2024 thread done now or are there still some people waiting?

Sorry to see you haven't had an answer to this yet. No, he does not have to file form I-693 with his I-485 adjustment of status form, unless he is missing vaccinations. In that case you need to find a civil surgeon in the US and hope you will find one that will just do the vaccinations, because I have seen a lot of people say that most of them only want to sign off of an I-693 after having done the full medical again. He should have gotten a DS-3025 form (2 pages) from the civil surgeon (aka the vaccination record). If not, request that from them, they have to provide him with that. If the DS-3025 says that the vaccination requirements are completed, that is all he needs to send in with the I-485. See here: In case his DS-3025 is not complete, there is two options. Either he goes to a civil surgeon in the US that will complete (or redo) the medical with the vaccinations, in which case you send in that signed I-693 with the AOS, or you have a moral or religious conviction against vaccines (as I have) and you send in just the incomplete DS-3025 and an I-601 form to request a waiver with your I-485, plus the fees for this form. So depends on the situation, but if the DS-3025 states completed, that is all you have to send in. Hope this helps!

Good luck to all!

I was approved as well today! For me 2 years without stress, 3 years until we can go for naturalization. @Rose88 what a story! I got so lucky with my field officer—she was incredibly kind and professional! Despite the stress I put myself through, the whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. The consulate, CBP officers, and USCIS Field Office all made it a smooth process. It took a bit longer than I expected, but that was just me being overly optimistic. Sorry to hear your experience was so tough. I noticed you had a vaccine waiver too—did you need a medical exam in the US? Is that why you had an I-693?

My I-601 just updated to approved, so just waiting for a status update on the I-485 now 🥳

Went great, only issue was my vaccine waiver, she didn't see it and asked for my vaccines but when I said filed for a waiver it was in the online file she had so she said she had to review it later that day. Said she didn't see any issues with it going quickly over it so I could expect an update soon, sounded like I had been approved pending the waiver. Just checked my account and says 'Interview Cancelled And Notice Ordered' lol, not sure what that means but hopefully something more later today!
