Does that apply to all varieties of tea?

Another example from this article. To be convicted of a crime, one has to have acted, been caught, and been charged with committing said crime, but the "journalist" here doesn't want to put the onus on the person, but rather garner sympathy for them. "or, in the worst-case scenario, get convicted of a crime, which makes them a priority for removal."

Relatively common, my wife does it all the time. When she was on a GC, travel was booked using her Russian passport, and the GC was used for entering the US. Now with a US passport, travel is booked with that name and she leaves and re-enters the US with that passport only using the Russian passport for entering and leaving Russia, and booking any domestic Russian flights. She always keeps a copy of our marriage certificate with her, but in 10+ years, not a single person in any country has asked to see it. I do agree with @OldUser, if you can change the name on the German passport relatively easily, I would do that. In Russia it is a real pain as it involves needing a court document showing the name change (marriage certificates won't always work), then the national ID (domestic passport) has to be changed prior to changing the name on the external/international passport. It takes on average many weeks for the change on the domestic passport and has to be done in country. Add to that, many things such as property ownership, bank accounts, retirement, etc. are tied to the name on the domestic passport, and all those things have to be changed manually. Gotta love bureaucracy. Good Luck!

Name change (beneficiary)
Dashinka replied to ope's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
This is gender agnostic as they need to check criminal records for all intending immigrants. The beneficiary is required to list all names used (man or woman) so this can be done. With a marriage at least inside the US, either party can choose to change their family/last name. -
How To Commit Democratic Party Suicide
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Pretty much sums it up. I hope more and more people are seeing through the Democrat/Left gaslighting. From One Fake Left-wing Hysteria to the Next For much of April, amid stock downturns, in the classical paranoid style, we were assured by the Wall Street Journal news reporters and the liberal press that Trump had either a) guaranteed an inevitable recession, b) engineered a losing trade war he likely regretted, c) crashed the stock market, d) lost his once majority favorability ratings, e) mostly had a failed first 100 days, or f) all of the above. Some of us thought these diagnoses and prognoses were absurd. How in mediis rebus, during a radical counterrevolution never quite seen before, could anyone issue such bleak predictions? Would these same observers have said the U.S. was doomed to lose World War II after the bleak first five months of mostly failure in the Pacific, or North Africa, after the utter U.S. army disaster at the Kasserine Pass? https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/05/from-one-fake-left-wing-hysteria-to-the-next/ -
How To Commit Democratic Party Suicide

Not if you count Bernie and AOC together and they are pretty much the same thing (ardent socialist mimicking communists). -
I need to remember that one. Now here is a guy that knew something about flatulence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Pétomane

So no Baby Ruth? I know, kind of bad.

Name change (beneficiary)
Dashinka replied to ope's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
I agree with @Crazy Cat, since you are changing your last/family name, you can do that at the AOS stage using the marriage certificate regardless if the marriage certificate has a specific name change section. Good Luck! -
He does not have a copy of the DS2035? If his vaccines were complete when he had his medical exam, you should not need a new I693. I would submit the AOS package ASAP without a new medical exam (I693), and see if you can get a copy of the DS-2035 from the location of the medical exam performed in Costa Rica, and if for some reason the DS2035 is marked as "Incomplete", he may be requested to get it completed prior to the finalization of the AOS. Good Luck!

If your other post is accurate, it appears you are the beneficiary, and were in the U.S. at least in February. What is your current location? As @Crazy Cat stated a spousal visa and Adjustment of Status (AOS) are two different things. If you are still currently in the U.S., then your U.S. citizen spouse and yourself should research the guide below for AOS.

No, you should be fine as your GC will still be valid. Research the Removal of Conditions process (form I751). Good Luck! -
She has to answer the questions of the CBP officer truthfully, but she is not required to answer questions that are not asked (I.e. it is best to not embellish answers). Many married couples in LDRs visit on ESTA/B2 while the I130 process is ongoing, so it does not matter when you file the I130 after the legal marriage. The main point for the foreign spouse visiting is to have evidence of their need to return after their visit, don’t show up with all their worldly possessions for a supposed short visit, and don’t show a pattern of maxing out the stay (90 days on ESTA), and returning a few months later for another maximum stay. Good Luck!

Hmm, Farage's Reform UK beats out establishment parties in 'earthquake' elections The right-wing Reform UK Party saw a series of electoral wins early Friday after it secured parliamentary, mayoral and several local election seats in what leader Nigel Farage said is proof that Reform UK is "now the opposition party to this Labour government." Farage, who predicted earlier this year in an interview with Fox News Digital that there would be a "political revolution," said the centurylong, two-party system that has dominated British politics was "now dead" after both the liberal Labour Party and Conservative Party saw losses in a Thursday election. Reform UK secured a fifth parliamentary seat after Sarah Pochin flipped the Runcorn & Helsby constituency, which is, according to Reform leaders, considered Labour "heartland." https://www.foxnews.com/world/farages-reform-uk-beats-out-establishment-parties-earthquake-elections

Interview Cancelled
Dashinka replied to Megha13's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
Could be any reason for a re-schedule. Maybe the IO your case was assigned to went out on sick leave unexpectedly. All you can do is wait until they reschedule, but this is a fairly common situation. Good Luck! -
Should I report CBP incident in N400 application
Dashinka replied to ShunM's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I agree, it worth mentioning and explaining upfront rather that to be questioned about it by an IO if they see something in their system. Good Luck!
