This thread may be helpful. I agree, the main options are to wait, or file a WoM. You can also try the CIS Ombudsman, or your Congressperson, but YMMV. Good Luck! https://www.dhs.gov/topics/cis-ombudsman ion

Probably not the most high profile, but still a decision in the right direction. Still trying to understand why the ultra-leftist justices are against allowing someone to have a jury trial, and are all for the Deep State. Did SCOTUS Start Dismantling the Bureaucratic State? We didn't get the Loper Bright ruling or a final decision on the Chevron doctrine today. However, the Supreme Court may have kicked a strut out from underneath the bureaucratic state today unexpectedly, in a case involving the Securities and Exchange Commission -- and the Seventh Amendment. In sum, the civil penalties in this case are designed to punish and deter, not to compensate. They are therefore “a type of remedy at common law that could only be enforced in courts of law.” Ibid. That conclusion effectively decides that this suit implicates the Seventh Amendment right, and that a defendant would be entitled to a jury on these claims. See id., at 421–423. ... According to the SEC, these are actions under the “antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws” for “fraudulent conduct.” App. to Pet. for Cert. 72a–73a (opinion of the Commission). They provide civil penalties, a punitive remedy that we have recognized “could only be enforced in courts of law.” Tull, 481 U. S., at 422. And they target the same basic conduct as common law fraud, employ the same terms of art, and operate pursuant to similar legal principles. See supra, at 10–12. In short, this action involves a “matter[] of private rather than public right.” Granfinanciera, 492 U. S., at 56. Therefore, “Congress may not ‘withdraw’” it “‘from judicial cognizance.’” Stern, 564 U. S., at 484 (quoting Murray’s Lessee, 18 How., at 284). https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/06/27/did-scotus-start-dismantling-the-bureaucratic-state-n3791032

Will a letter work if the denial is already in the system? The written request part seems to refer to requesting a re-schedule or a waiver.

Is it worth having the OP file an I290B? I know, probably lawyer territory, but could be done DIY. Based on the fact that there was no notice of the I751 interview (based on my reading of the OP and responses), how can an I751 be denied simply because a spouse was not present at an unannounced interview. I know, the overall VJ recommendation (which I agree with) is to have the USC accompany an LPR spouse to an N400 interview when an I751 is pending, but that is not always practical. I know in our case, we were in the same boat in early 2018. Now this was right when the processing of I751s were slowing to a crawl and we were just starting to hear about combo interviews. I did go with my wife to her N400 interview, and the IO decided to do a short I751 interview (I got the feeling the IO would have still approved things even if I was not there, but of course that was just a feeling). Back then there were other stories of spouses being called on the phone, or I751's simply being approved and it is all good as we all know USCIS is nothing if not inconsistent. As to the OP, I found this and it does give options. I am not terribly familiar with the I290B, but it appears an option. I was just wondering if anyone think it is worth it. https://www.hummelaw.com/2020/06/27/what-if-my-i-751-petition-to-remove-conditions-on-residence-is-denied/

Man, that is being a real horse's rear. I remember stories of others who had no notice of a joint interview (can't find the specific post), the spouse did not attend, and the IO and CPR called the spouse.

Also, the I134 is not binding to the person signing it, so, and I am not a lawyer, I would assume the legal liability is fairly small, and the obligation would end when your I485/I864 AOS package is approved. Also, I know you are excited, but just because the I129F is approved it may still be several months before you actually have an interview. Good Luck!

This one was interesting in that the majority did not actually rule on the merits, but rather took a lack of standing approach. I don't understand the statement of needing to show a substantial risk that in the near future they will suffer an injury... So by that logic, SCOTUS will only take up cases of potential future injury?

Hmm, so a coup attempt and people brought weapons. Good things the "coups' here in the US are weapons free.

I suspect Mr. Assange will be closely watched by both the US and Aussie intelligence agencies.

The actions of the Biden prosecutor seems a bit over the top. Why is it a person can be prosecuted for lying to an FBI agent or a federal prosecutor, but an FBI agent or federal prosecutor cannot be prosecuted for lying themselves. Suppression of Dissent According to a letter written by Haim’s lawyers, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari admitted that she hadn’t reviewed the purported evidence against Haim and was instead relying on what FBI agents told her. In the same discussion, Ansari insisted that the documents Haim sent to Rufo included children’s names, but nothing in the documents Rufo saw identified any individuals. All were redacted. The prosecutor then asked Haim to admit wrongdoing, telling him that he should apologize to the families of the children who received transgender medical interventions at TCH if he wanted her to help him avoid a felony prosecution. When this tactic failed, Ansari intimated that the families would sue if she didn’t bring criminal charges. Roger Severino, vice president of domestic policy for the Heritage Foundation and a former HIPAA regulator at the Department of Health and Human Services, called Haim’s prosecution “outrageous.” As Severino notes, Haim blew the whistle in good faith in a state “where it’s illegal to do these experimental surgeries on minors.” (In September 2023, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton announced that SB 14, a new law banning gender-transition procedures for minors in Texas, had gone into effect.) Ansari’s zeal to prosecute Haim is especially strange, given her lack of knowledge of HIPAA law, as noted in a letter from Haim’s lawyers. In the past, Ansari has prosecuted cases involving doctors who falsified patient-care documents to receive higher insurance payouts, a health-center owner who scammed Medicare out of millions based on fraudulent claims, and a pharmacist who submitted false claims to Tricare and other federal insurance programs while pocketing $22 million. Yet she moved to indict Haim in this case, despite his having no profit motive, and despite the Texas Attorney General’s Office declining to act on the case for six months. https://www.city-journal.org/article/suppressing-dissent-against-transgender-ideology

No, there is just one fee now for the I751 which includes biometric services. Good Luck!

Potentially imported foods, depends on the goods tariffed.

When my wife had her N400 interview with an I751 pending, I was brought back for a very brief I751 interview, then I was sent back to the waiting area while my wife and the IO proceeded with her N400 interview. I have heard stories of spouses being in the room during the N400, but those were usually also a combo I751/N400 situation. In your case, I would not expect they would allow you to accompany your wife, but I would certainly go with her if nothing more for support. Good Luck!

I agree, the best option right now is to return and follow consulate processing, see if you can withdraw the I485 package or stop payment. Unfortunately VWP is gone (most likely), and runaway from this lawyer as fast as you can. The big issue is you are an overstay from VWP, and also on ICE's radar. Good Luck!

Global cooling and global warming happening at the same time. Progress? Oops! Washington Post: ‘We’ve been accidentally cooling the planet’ – ‘Burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming — it also causes global cooling’ But fewer people know that burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming — it also causes global cooling. It is one of the great ironies of climate change that air pollution, which has killed tens of millions, has also curbed some of the worst effects of a warming planet. https://www.climatedepot.com/2024/06/25/oops-washington-post-weve-been-accidentally-cooling-the-planet-burning-fossil-fuels-doesnt-just-cause-global-warming-it-also-causes-global-cooling/

Primarily higher prices on goods impacted.

I doubt it as Covid all but locked down the passport agencies. My wife got lucky back in 2018, now you need immediate travel needs to get into a passport agency.

I love it, another petulant Democrat spouting off, and being lambasted for it. Discount Store Elizabeth Warren Will Save Us From Greedy Potato Chip Corporations https://twitchy.com/gordon-k/2024/06/24/discount-store-elizabeth-warren-will-save-us-from-greedy-potato-chip-corporations-n2397630

Here is a thread with someone that went through Tokyo with DCF, it might be helpful. It sounds like you are just in the investigative phase, and it sounds like the consulate will not respond. Look at the list @Seashell90 posted and provide that information (if you haven't already). Good Luck!

My wife was also selected for jury duty several months ago. Here in MI we are scheduled for a date, and the day before we call in or check online and if they need us, we are to report the next day. In my wife's case, she was dismissed and never had to go.

A leftist news organization acting with malice and in a very petulant manner could lead to a sizeable payday. CNN Could Be Forced to Pay Upwards of $1 Billion from Defamation Suit from Tapper Show For that outcome to be remotely in the cards, Young needed to prove malice and according to the ruling, he’s done exactly that. “Young sufficiently proffered evidence of actual malice, express malice, and a level of conduct outrageous enough to open the door for him to seek punitive damages,” Judge L. Clayton Roberts wrote in the court’s ruling. The court felt the high bars for actual and expressed malice were met because of internal CNN messages that were extremely vicious toward Young. Correspondent Alex Marquardt, the “primary reporter” expressed in a message to a colleague that he wanted to “nail this Zachary Young mfucker” and thought the story would be Young’s “funeral.” On that declaration of wanting to “nail” Young, CNN editor Matthew Philips responded: “gonna hold you to that cowboy!” https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2024/06/24/cnn-could-be-forced-pay-upwards-1-billion-defamation-suit

Asked and answered back in February. More information is needed if the circumstances have changed since the original B2 denial.

Not surprising that the feds do not want any truth to come out. Is anyone still getting covid jabs?

It is interesting to see how tolerant Democrats are when confronted with DEI activities, and yes, yes DC is overwhelmingly Democrat, and of course very petulant. These parents need to watch out though, Merrick G., might think they are acting like terrorists. Plan to blend predominantly Black and White DC schools leads to tense debate in liberal neighborhood Some Maury parents admitted that they would consider leaving the area if the plan goes through. The proposal has sparked in-person and online debate. Petitions for and against the plan have also cropped up, with typically liberal parents criticizing the impact integration could have on their child’s education journey, Maury parents are concerned that the integration plan could bring down averages at a school that typically scores higher on standardized tests than Miner. Meanwhile, Miner parents are worried that the proposal could jeopardize programs that helped disadvantaged students, such as free eye exams and glasses. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/plan-to-blend-predominantly-black-and-white-dc-schools-leads-to-tense-debate-in-liberal-neighborhood/ar-BB1ikGnJ
