How could she legally use it though?

Yup. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-plain-language

They should write those notices in plain English.

Community clinic, or social worker, might also have lists of local services/assistance available.

Never heard of MDsave.com. Thanks for sharing. We are lucky to have incredible coverage, so I'm not aware of how to get discounts, but yeah... Reading the explanation of benefits statements, it all looks so fraudulent. It's hard to believe that you can get care, and no one will tell you exactly what the cost will be (which, again, very luckily, does not matter in my situation, but I think I would need to see a doctor for the stress otherwise...)

I'm sorry about the miscarriage, please take care of each other too... "healthcare sharing ministry" They're kind of a scam. https://youtu.be/oFetFqrVBNc You might benefit from real insurance, look at the connector for your state. I don't know enough to help with Medicaid. Alternatively, if you prefer to move back home, you could look at how long you need to be in your province of origin to get covered again. Mine is 3 months, in most circumstances.

Maybe look up where to escalate by searching the state name and death certificate correction/vital records for state name + correction, or ombudsman. I'm not sure what the embassy could do. Sorry I can't help more.

Send your marriage certificate to the funeral home?

IRS has very specific rules on who you can claim as dependents: https://www.irs.gov/help/ita/whom-may-i-claim-as-a-dependent

I wish my next flight through Pearson will work in a way where there's no CBSA interaction. Fingers crossed.

What are you talking about? Millions of immigrants have traveled without much trouble. Especially, when you have the right documents. You might need to work on your anxiety though.

Not necessarily. You have to enter Canada, there's no international area like in some other airports. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada.html?utm_source=slash-visit_visiter&utm_medium=short-url-en&utm_campaign=visit

Just make sure you get your visa or ETA to enter Canada, if needed.

If there's no date stated, then any date is good, as long as it's been issued by the right office/authority (as listed in the reciprocity schedule).

Mine is no longer valid, and I couldn't have used it for immigration purposes - I think they created the office issuing official documents in 1994 😕 Just a nice souvenir to keep. Just check the reciprocity schedule for your country: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

Reach out to your postmaster, go twice a day if needed.

Unfortunately, this member's story shows that being a minor was not an excuse. https://www.visajourney.com/profile/46877-globehoppermama/ Summary on their linked blog: http://carlosandamy.blogspot.com/2009/04/still-family-without-country.html?m=1 I wish I knew if it was ever resolved.

Did you also submit evidence that you are a US citizen, or just evidence of your presence? @jan22u might be able to pinpoint what went wrong.

Good to hear that you have reconciled. Others will have better advice about the adoption process.

My timeline was very similar to yours. Fast and smooth experience. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/790597-10-year-card-renewal-surprisingly-smooth-experience/

If you want to discuss the current laws and policies, General Immigration-Related Discussion Forum might be a better choice. Or reach out to your elected officials, start a petition, reach out to Immigrant groups in your area... No one said they agreed with the law(s), just that it is currently what it is.

Ad from content already created is not you actively working. You could have tenants in your home country, and they would be paying you rent. Bolded part is true, at this time. True, also, that no one here can promote illegal activities. So, no one here can tell you it is ok.

Could be a smaller amount, but, the point is... before investing any more (energy/money/heartache) in this relationship, is it worth a coffee with a friend ($10?) to trust a little... Long distance relationships are never "cheap" - we were only separated by 300 miles, and it still added/adding expenses to our relationship. If that "little" gesture is breaking the bank, or an incredible expense, then I think OP is in for a life of misery (with trips back home once in a while, moving, immigration expenses). He is going to always feel cheated out of his money. Even the most frugal VJer had to up their spending by $10 eventually I am not even touching the topic of her maybe wanting to send money back home once in a while - because, he already said, they are all hard workers supporting each other.

You are welcome. Far from perfect, lots of delay, but, eventually, most people will get out of it.

Let's say a childhood friend is visiting the next town over, and you decide to meet up for brunch. Gasoline there and back, the meal, and then you picking up the tab at ice cream later, you've spent $50. You have probably spent more time interacting with your faraway friend than at that brunch. What if you just sent $50 and asked her to spend it on phone usage? Best 50$ you can spend, you will see how she does, if she gets the best plan, you will be able to keep in touch like never before - and hopefully coordinate your visit. If things go wrong, you will save yourself the money, and heartache, of continuing to interact. $50 too much, try with less. I mean, your time, and not losing it, has to be worth something?
