Thanks I did not know about the age limit so I would go with my first suggestion.

Visa is single entry so that is not an issue. I have seen Venezuelan passports discussed over the years but not recently. The last I heard people went through Mexico and it was not quick.

Quite normal, I would think they are doing extended background checks.

I had thought of that and would add the following. She is in Germany so they would need to marry and then he would need to move to Germany. Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are equal partners in the internal market, on the same terms as the EU member states. This includes having access to the internal market's four freedoms, the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital. I do not know her skill set or when her time in Germany is up. She could of course move to Norway, now I have no idea about how long that would take, probably much quicker than a spouse moving to the US. She is an AuPair, not sure how easy it would be to get a short notice job offer that Frankfurt would buy.

Simple route Get married asap She files the I 130 She finds a Joint Sponsor, Parent is usual. You arrive in the US as a Permanent Resident good to work get a DL etc Say 18 months from filing I also did a K1 back when it was a more logical option and still would do that again with the benefit of hindsight.

I have seen people waiting for over a year on Pakistan for an interview

How many times have you net

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/12/31/biden-work-permits-for-migrants/71931816007/ U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently set up a pre-registration program – pioneered in Brownsville, Texas, and replicated in El Paso and San Ysidro, California – to more quickly process work permits for migrants who present at the border using the CBP One app appointment system, operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Two months later, USCIS has made steady progress, the agency told USA TODAY. The median processing time for CBP One-associated work permits is approximately 30 days. Previously, migrants reported waiting four or more months from the date they applied. The agency is also providing on-the-ground work permit registrations in New York City, Chicago, Boston and Denver – resulting in nearly 5,000 work permits, USCIS said. It's a fraction of the 1,450 individuals per day, nearly 45,000 a month, who are processed via CBP One appointments at ports of entry from California to Texas. Unclear when this will be rolled out to other PoEs and other bases of entry. Of course there was a time when you could get a stamp that acted as a temp EAD, I think they stopped doing that about 20 years ago.

That explains a lot, gone but not forgotten.

Should be fun Any VJ names?

Is this someone you have previously met or a first visit. I think most people would avoid the K1 and go CR1.

20 minutes to go

Sort of interesting to speculate what the process will look like that far in the future. Surely it will be very different?

Not sure what you mean by evidence, you need to answer the questions truthfully, not that it will not be obvious that you overstayed.

I doubt it, he may have that choice but I would expect he would want to interview in Canada.

I agree

CEAC? Do you have a question?

Absolutely agree, if it was me I would absolutely want to know where I am, certainly not clear, not externally funded.

If it was me What sort of conversation did you have with the CO about this. Were there others you worked with who wee on a J1, were they subject to 212e Have you spoken to your Uni

Straightforward VWP Express case.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/dec/29/politicians-immigration-wrong-cheap-labour I have no idea how this passed the Guardian censors but this is spot on. There are always some things I will disagree with. But the essence that it costs money to migrate is absolutely true, poor people generally can not pay a Coyote. I would add the era of cheap mass transportation. I worked out that when the train first came to where I am not that far from Denver a ticket would have cost a skilled tradesman, say a Carpenter the equivalent of what it would cost for me to fly from Denver to China now. Some of his numbers are just wrong, I think there are about a million immigrants to the US a year, but there are currently about 10,000 a day crossing the southern border. Obviously that ratio varies time and by country. I do agree with this: This is nothing new, ask the Romans.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/19/trump-colorado-presidential-ballot-disqualified-14th-amendment In a historic decision, the justices ordered that he be removed from the state’s presidential primary ballot, after determining that he engaged in insurrection on 6 January 2021. The ruling sets up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to settle whether the January 6 attack on the Capitol amounted to an insurrection, and whether Trump’s involvement disqualifies him from running for office. The 4-3 decision by the Colorado supreme court marks the first time a presidential candidate has been deemed unqualified for office under a rarely used provision that bars insurrectionists from holding office. “A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court, whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors, wrote in its ruling. Trump has vowed to appeal to the US supreme court, his campaign said. “We have full confidence that the US supreme court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits,” said Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson. These are the same people who keep on going on about defending Democracy. You must admit it is hilarious. Amusingly using such a broad brush interpretation I can see Old Joe having the same issues. Where does it stop? All the Dem states ban Trump and all the Repub States ban Old Joe?

https://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/?i=336546 It is that time of year and I have been here long enough to let most things go, obviously not HP sauce and the odd jar of Branston, but somehow I am more inclined to stock up now, Christmas Pudding, Mince Pies etc, and some decent chocolate of course. Now the prices make me wince, probably because I am remembering prices from years ago. So the link is above to the one I use, is there anything other people feel the need to special order?

https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-announces-family-reunification-parole-process-for-ecuador Certain nationals of Ecuador who are beneficiaries of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative may be eligible to be considered for parole under the new process. Qualifying beneficiaries must be outside the United States, meet all requirements, including screening and vetting and medical requirements, and must not have already received an immigrant visa.

I just noticed and I have to work! Just wondered what other people indigenous persons are doing to celebrate.
