I hope everyone has a very nice Memorial Day while remembering the men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this country.

Thanks, I forgot USCIS does not list the I485 biometrics fee separate anymore. To the OP, money order or check works, or you can pay with a credit card using form G1450. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees

No form is needed, you just have to pay the fee. Good Luck!

Do a search on I130 expedite approved here in the VJ search function, and you will find some. YMMV. Good Luck! https://www.visajourney.com/sitesearch/?cx=partner-pub-3407508467788263%3A9725800110&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=UTF-8&q=I130+expedite+&sa=Search

Fair and balanced? Does anyone believe FoxNews when they say it? Looking up the writer who wrote the screenplay, Gabriel Sherman, I find it hard to believe it is fair and balanced.

LA appears to be a cesspool. I knew in San Fran the rule is don’t leave anything valuable in the car, and if possible get a rental car with a stack of insurance forms, but I did not realize it has gotten so bad in LA. General Hospital star Johnny Wactor, 37, is shot and killed in Los Angeles after robbery gone wrong https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13462311/General-Hospital-star-Johnny-Wactor-37-shot-killed-Los-Angeles-robbery.html

Maybe let a fox or two loose in the area.

IR5’s should take a couple of years. Since they are separate I130s, one may process faster than the other at USCIS, but you can regroup them when they reach NVC, and schedule their interviews at or near the same time. Good Luck!

In my wife's case it was a minor error on her N400 form, and she was able to correct it at the interview. I agree with your attorney's suggestion. Good Luck!

Yes, that wording is very poor for this question there should be an "N/A" option since the question contains two questions really with an "If" condition. I believe you should answer "Yes" to move on in the form (I don't think you can leave it blank and move on with the online form), and you can explain it to the IO at the interview. Here is another thread asking the same question, you may PM them to see what they ended up doing. Good Luck!

Probably should go back at least a year. You can probably bring the child to the interview, but more than likely they will need to wait in the waiting area with your spouse. Good Luck!

Airplane turbulence, climate change! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/singapore-airlines-turbulence-passenger-describes-horrifying-experience/

Every weather event today is reported as due to climate change. It is like they never had tornadoes in the midwest before today.

I feel for those folks in Iowa, not really sure a tornado in May is evidence of climate change, but this video is amazing.

Is Labour going to look to rejoin the EU?

Isn't that normal in the recent past in the UK with the Tories in power for several years, and then Labour takes over for a few years?

Congratulations!

1. Read the bullets under the section you underlined, that instruction only applies to two specific situations. In your case provide your 5 year history of addresses including your current one. 2. Since you got your GC through your employer, I doubt you have an OAN. To check, look at the NOA you received for your AOS and see if it starts with IOE. 3. Unless a traffic incident involved alcohol, you were arrested, or you seriously injured someone you do not need to submit documentation. This is from the N400 instructions page 20. The IO may ask you about it at the interview so you can explain the situation there. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf 4. Yes, general provision. Good Luck!

1. Sure, many people get new passports between the DS260 and interview. Use your current passport number and provide your new one at the interview. 2. You can only put down what you remember. I am not sure if VisaJourney was listed, but it is also a social media site, so you can put that down under other. 3. I would either put Food Service Worker, or Homemaker. You can explain the situation at the interview if asked. Good Luck!

I agree, a B2 application is his only option and that is all on him. I will say having a USC spouse might be an issue.

The Biden WH wasn't much better. I do wonder what the reaction would be if it was Putin? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/a-new-low-biden-admin-eviscerated-for-response-to-butcher-of-tehran-raisis-death/ar-BB1mN329

When the medical exam was conducted. Good Luck!

Maybe @JeanneAdil will weigh in. Good Luck!

If this is going through a consulate, I would recommend having your wife fill out an I864A. A consulate may ask for it, and it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Good Luck!

Probably could go in the Biden messing up thread, but DEI seems to be a separate topic. The dodgy data behind the DEI crusade DEI has been pitched to Americans as an effort to foster workplace harmony. But if a scathing new report is anything to go by, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is nothing more than a cynical marketing ploy founded on corporate doublespeak. And the Biden administration has fallen for it. An exposé published by the College Fix this week reveals that at least 51 federal agencies have justified their DEI policies by citing four studies by McKinsey and Company, an American consultancy firm. These glossy studies – ‘Diversity matters’, ‘Delivering through diversity’, ‘Diversity wins’ and ‘Diversity still matters’ – make the so-called business case for DEI. But critics are now eviscerating McKinsey’s research as shoddy, agenda-driven and riddled with weak data. Take a new rule from the Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration, enacted in January last year. This rule expands the application of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria – used to measure a company’s ‘social impact’ – to government pension funds. Essentially, this means retirement-fund managers now have to put ESG considerations at the heart of their investment decisions. Supposedly, this is because companies with a good ESG score will deliver the best returns. What research is this claim based on? You guessed it: two McKinsey studies that suggest ‘social responsibility’ is the golden ticket to productivity. Economist Alex Edmans, professor of finance at the London Business School, has slammed the Department of Labor for clinging to McKinsey’s dubious work. He argues that the department had ‘already decided’ its preferred policies and ‘searches for any study that will support this idea, regardless of its quality’. ‘McKinsey is a consultancy, not a research organisation’, Edmans concludes. ‘The goal of its papers is marketing rather than scientific inquiry.’ https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/05/19/the-dodgy-data-behind-the-dei-crusade/
