US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hey

So with everything going on my husband (us citizen) is looking to see if he can get food stamps. Would this effect my adjustment of status application (interview in 2 weeks)

We have a joint sponsor due to not earning enough but would my husband getting food stamps effect it?

Does anyone know if the London embassy accepts the unenrolled deed poll for name change (the one you sign yourself) or is the enrolled deed poll (through courts) required as it doesn't specify what type on the website and technically it isn't required in the UK to get the enrolled one?

And if it is easier/quicker/cheaper to get a statutory declaration of name change or the enrolled deed poll?

Merry Christmas members,

A new USA travel advisory has been issued.

With less than 72 hours until I'm due to leave the UK, the UK's foreign travel advice to the USA has just updated (08:51)

Delta/Virgin Atlantic have so far failed to provide any guidance regarding my travel itinerary.
I'm in the process of exploring Heathrow Airport (Terminal) testing, via covidtesting.collinsonassistance.com

Also, in comparing the GOV/Virgin Atlantic information, it seems that the PCR test is the only test accepted by both the US government and carrier.

The issue with the terminal testing is that it is pre-security, and they seem to only offer/operate standard business hours, which won't sufficiently accommodate my AM departure time.

As such, I'll be travelling to Heathrow to test tomorrow (26th), or Sunday (27th).

My only outings in 2020, since my university went remote in February, have been visa based (medical&interview), so I've not yet been(or needed to be) tested.

As always, grateful for any input/guidance.

I will update this thread with the Collinson Assistance / Heathrow (Terminal) testing process, once I am booked & tested, in the hopes it will be helpful to other members imminently travelling.

So I am a UK citizen with a Pakistani Birth certificate. One letter in my surname was misspelled (a instead of e) in my birth certificate when I was born (apparently typographical errors as such are/were common back then in Pakistan) but this was never picked up growing up so I have have been using an the 'a' version of my surname like the rest of my family in my passports and important docs all my life.

When my husband filed for the I-130 in the US, his lawyer told him they had to use the birth certificate version of the my surname ('e') and would just have to explain it to the London embassy during the visa interview of our issue.

Just wanted to know if this could cause my visa to be rejected either by the NVC or at the interview stage and if someone else has experienced similar situations and how they went about it?
