pushbrk got a reaction from yuna628 in US citizen marrying Irish citizen. What is the best lawful manner to navigate this?
Abusing the visitor privilege for the UK is not about eyebrows. It will lose you the privilege. Apply for any visa you want. It's not a conflict, but any visa that grants resident status comes with requirements to maintain that status. That means, one of you, YOU, will lose any resident status to the UK eventually, if you get it.

My recommendation is that you go with the original plan. She is better off waiting out the immigrant visa process, as she will enter as a Lawful Permanent Resident to begin with.

pushbrk got a reaction from Carlroxa in A Warning To Green Card Holders About Voting
(From my blog)
A Warning To Green Card Holders About Voting
Do not register to vote in any election until you have officially been granted US Citizenship.
Going into this election season, it is very important to understand that for a Green Card holder, (Lawful Permanent Resident) to register to vote is not only improper, but can have severe consequences in the future.
Even though there are States that have instituted policies that do not require evidence of US Citizenship when registering to vote, the voter registration documents do ask whether the person registering is a US Citizen. Many have simply checked the box and gone ahead and registered, knowing that even if the State Law requires showing government issued identification, their driver license will suffice.
While this is not legal advice, the publicly searchable “9 FAM” (Foreign Affairs Manual) is quite clear regarding the potential consequences of falsely claiming US Citizenship. There is no more serious a misrepresentation, based on the consequences, dealt with in 9 FAM. The potential consequence of registering to vote or for any other federal or state benefit afforded only to US Citizens includes Deportation and a LIFETIME BAN from entering the USA.
If any reader who is not a US Citizen, has registered to vote in any official State of Federal election, I advise them to seek competent legal advice as soon as possible, to discuss minimizing or eliminating the risk of any future deportation and ban.
The law is, what the law is. Regardless of whether this particular or any other immigrant related law is being consistently enforced today, that can change at any time.
False claims to US Citizenship are taken very seriously by Customs and Border Patrol Officers. Some years ago, I was traveling with my step daughter, when we encountered a border check station on Interstate 10 in West Texas. My step daughter was quite proud of passing her citizenship test just the day before, and proudly answered yes, when a CBP Officer asked if she was a US Citizen. I quickly corrected her, so the officer would hear me, saying, “You WILL BE a US Citizen after your swearing in ceremony, but you’re aren’t a citizen yet.” Fortunately, the officer was understanding and we were soon on our way without incident.
Many have registered to vote, somewhat “innocently” because of the misrepresentations or ignorance of well meaning officers at the DMV (Driver License Offices) or even a campaign worker.

pushbrk got a reaction from JJMC in Annotation on my cr1 visa
Note that you did not receive a temporary green card. You never will, but once you pay the new immigrant fee and enter the USA using the visa, the visa plus the endorsement stamp give upon entry "serves as" a temporary green card, once you are admitted.

pushbrk got a reaction from Dashinka in CR-1 or K-1 visa for a Mexican getting married to a US citizen
You have multiple options to marry first. Why not look into the details of marrying in Mexico, and compare that to marrying in the USA during a visit, then starting the spouse visa process.
Again, you do not need a special (K1) visa to get married in the USA. The K1 is for marrying and staying. As long as you leave and follow the spouse visa process, no problem.

pushbrk reacted to S2N in CR-1 or K-1 visa for a Mexican getting married to a US citizen
Link in English to the details for OP. Not as stringent as a lot of South America, but still a decent amount of red tape.
Requires the foreigner to get their birth certificate apostilled and translated as well as to undergo medical exams in Mexico.
OP — My suggestion would be to fly in and do the wedding stateside since that avoids needing a translation for USCIS and the red tape of marriage in Mexico, but ultimately it’s a choice for the two of you and like pushbrk mentioned, there’s a lot of options.

pushbrk got a reaction from Claire1994 in B2 in relation to CR1 question
If you did not pay the application fee, and have an interview, you also didn't apply for a visa. Your husband hasn't applied for a visa for you either. What was filed was a petition for alien relative. When that petition is approved you will THEN be invited to apply for an immigrant visa.

pushbrk got a reaction from dreamer32 in Expired K-1 visa and have not started adjustment of status
I think it is important to add that the initial post says she married AFTER being in the US for 90 days. As such, the petitioner must file an I-130. She cannot just adjust status based on the K1 visa, if the marriage occurred more than 90 days after her arrival.

pushbrk got a reaction from TBoneTX in I-130 petition for spouse
Correct. To the author, what is the exact question you are seeing? The question after how many marriages is answered as one, you are requested to give the information about that one marriage, to you. It's important to understand that the same petition is used for any relative, not just the petiioner's (your) spouse.

pushbrk got a reaction from Lance27 in I864 and poverty guideline
A self employed petitioner has zero current income until it shows up on a federal tax return, so if 3k is what the most current tax return states, that's also their current income. You'll need to correct the affidavit and rely on the joint sponsor.
