US Immigration from Taiwan

Federal judge declares Biden immigration program for spouses of U.S. citizens illegal - CBS Miami

Really simple process. Wife's 7 year Texas DL expired in August. In our area, it takes about 3 months to get an appointment. Yesterday, we went to the DPS office in Garland. Wife needed to renew her license, make an address change (non-citizens cannot do that online), and change her citizenship status.

Texas requires Green Card holders to bring proof of lawful status when renewing a DL. In addition, Green Card holders cannot make an address change online. We downloaded and completed a the DL-14A before going to the appointment. It's the form used for new applicants, renewals, and changes to existing DLs. After waiting for our number to be called 30 minutes after our appointment, the lady scanned both wife's US passport and Naturalization Certificate into the system. The lady took a new picture, and she did a very basic vision test (she stood back and held up an 8x11 piece of paper with some letter printed on it). She then issued my wife a "paper license" to use until her plastic one arrives. She said we can now make online address changes if needed in the future.

Wife's new DL expires in 2032...

Not sure if this is the right forum for my question, but my wife is a green card holder, me and our 2 children are US citizens, we live in California. Is it okay for my wife to receive public benefits(SNAP, Medi-Cal, etc.)? We quality based on income, and the State of California is okay with it (they're even given to undocumented immigrant now), but would there be issues with USCIS about me and my joint sponsor having to pay back means-tested benefit as stated on the affidavit of support?

Hello guys, I m currently in the process of applying for n400. Will a pre trial diversion for driving while license suspended results in my application to be deny and I have to wait for 5 years to reapply?

i did not get arrested at all, this happened 18 years ago but I just now realize it because I did a fbi name check and it shows up in the rap sheet.

Thank you all for yours input on this

Ordinarily, we think a Green Card holder must be a legal resident for 5 years before qualifying for Medicate. However, I just discovered that the 5 year residency rule does not apply to all new Green Card holders. It appears that if a new immigrant marries, or is married to, a US citizen or LPR who already qualifies with 40+ quarters of work credit, the Medicare 5 year residency rule goes away after 1 year of marriage. This is important info for immigrants who are approaching 65 years of age.

"...is an LPR who came to the U.S. three years ago. She married another LPR shortly after arriving. Her husband, a long-term U.S. resident, has enough work credits for premium-free Part A. Ms. Lopez is turning 65. Because she can rely on her husband s work history, she can start her Part A and Part B coverage right away, even though she has not been a U.S. resident for five years."

",...... a 65-year-old LPR, came to the U.S. from Jamaica last year when he was 64. Because he is subject to the five-year continuous residency period, he cannot enroll in Medicare until he is 69. However, next month he plans to marry Ms. Allen, also an LPR and age 63. She has been in the U.S. over 15 years and, because of her work history, qualifies for premium-free Part A. Once they are married for a year, Mr. Williams will be entitled to Part A based on Ms. Allen s record. He won t have to wait for five years to enroll or pay a premium for Part A. "
