This is probably why the consulate and CBP has the note about having a child after the visa is issued but before immigrating to the US. Essentially, this should be a reason for DCF if the child does not qualify for CRBA as in this case, but they are saying no visa is needed when this happens if the newborn is traveling with the parent that has a valid visa, and the birth certificate verifies the parenthood, so no I130 is needed, and no special circumstance required.

I agree now with @carmel34 and @Boiler, if this petition was denied due to an AWA issue, a lawyer is needed for the spousal visa.

If you are worried about being allowed on a flight with the baby via the Consulate information you can refer the airline to the CBP Carrier Guide Page 10 (see below). Another option is to fly to Canada and drive across the border. Good Luck! Child born abroad to an accompanying parent after issuance of an immigrant visa to the parent but before the parent’s initial admission as an immigrant may be boarded as long as the child has a passport and birth certificate. https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

This entire episode was just a testament to how the Left Identity Politics and DEI stuff works. Harvard tried so hard to re-define Gay's stealing of other's work to get where she was at. Then of course we get the racism angle, when if you really look at it, it was Gay, and Harvard that was being racist. If I were a Harvard student, or alum, I would be disgusted.

Not really sure anyone can answer this. The CO may ask why you requested the case be transferred, but then again, they may not. Good Luck!

I agree, this cannot really be answered without a few more details as to why the I-129F petition was denied.

Then I would pursue the information you provided. I assume you have a US passport, so you will not be getting a visa, and the child, if born after your husband's spousal visa is issued, appears to not need a new petition provided you have the long-form birth certificate. The key is in bold. If the child is born before your husband gets his visa, then you need a new I130 is how I interpret this. Good Luck! 12) I've had a child after receiving my visa. Does my child need a visa? If your child was born after your visa was issued but before you move to the United States, you should first check if your child may have a claim to citizenship as the child of a U.S. citizen. If not, then your child may travel with you when you move to the United States using your visa, provided that you show the child’s long-form birth certificate which states the names of both parents. If you are a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) and you have had a child overseas during a temporary absence from the United States, click here for the information you need. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/after-your-immigrant-or-fiancee-visa-has-been-issued/?_ga=2.108036226.1045392846.1704281189-214534049.1704281189

Are you able to pass on US citizenship to you upcoming child? If so, CRBA. Good Luck! https://uk.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/citizenship/consular-report-of-birth-abroad-crba-and-first-u-s-passport/

I just assumed the $150k was for First Class, and the $48k was for Coach. Sure the plane is dead-heading back, but to me, it seems if you can afford this price for a ticket, are you really in need of asylum in the US? Seems it could be much more inexpensive to look else where if one is being politically persecuted.

Happy New Year. We had a nice dinner on NYE's, I watched a little football, and we went to bed.

In what you described, you cannot. You can visit, your spouse can visit, but there is no living together visa while awaiting the spousal visa process.

I agree this will not be an issue. She can clarify the difference at the interview if the CO asks about it. Good Luck!

Canada - ESTA? I am confused apart from the plan being fraud.

I thought Biden was all in until Russia was trounced by Ukraine? The Biden Administration Is Quietly Shifting Its Strategy in Ukraine https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/12/27/biden-endgame-ukraine-00133211

Ukraine needs 500k troops. I wonder where they will come from. Zelensky says Russia made no military gains in 2023, expresses faith in U.S. Kyiv’s situation seems increasingly difficult, however, with crucially needed military and economic aid stalled in Washington and Brussels, and with frequent reports of shortages in military personnel and weapons. Ukrainian cities are still under constant bombardment by Russian missiles and explosive drones, and Moscow’s troops are pushing to advance at several points along the front line in the east and south. While the European Union agreed to open membership talks, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban blocked a proposed $55 billion aid package. A proposal by President Biden, for roughly $60 billion in aid, has been blocked for months by Republicans in Congress, who are demanding sweeping changes in border security and immigration policy in exchange for approving the funds. At his news conference, Zelensky expressed confidence that the U.S. aid would be approved in the near future. “We’re working very hard on this. I’m sure that the U.S.A. won’t betray us,” he said. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2023/dec/19/zelensky-says-russia-made-no-military-gains-in-202/

Nothing will happen to these people, or at least the highest profile people. Bill Clinton will still be out there sleeping around, Bill Gates will be doing his thing with his lady friends, Prince Andrew may not be a working royal, but he is still part of the royal family. What needs to happen is for people to start showing these "elite" no respect, and stop listening to them. I know, it is hard, especially given the make-up of the MSM, but it can be done.

These folks should be prosecuted for terrorism. However, I am sure we will get a lot of the same as this. Protesters who shut down Bay Bridge call on SF DA to drop charges https://news.yahoo.com/protesters-shut-down-bay-bridge-225819924.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACS27nPqcjUUjcVq-0ykPZ2wPgACHkt3IRGVlRcwtx_aGR2ZJ-wDCPtqmBDp4bYnNa1h-wBA8S24M-I_4W4naNfv_LW9a124Q06G0XdnwlnKCeTrxDIoXIl6ZrGnYu1YjoAO12Zdw-tkk8DxLJVRb03iX3j3S0pO4TUaKExyBZQU

Sounds like the USCG thinks the fire is now out. Funny thing though, battery fires often times re-ignite, https://www.foxnews.com/us/us-coast-guard-extinguishes-lithium-ion-battery-fire-alaska-cargo-ship-several-days-burning

Also fascinating is the price quoted for those on the plane.

Yeah, in my case it was all about Leftist politics. If I did not adhere to her leftist views, I was out. In the end, it was for the best, as back then, I was naive to the intolerance of the Left/Democrats and it opened my eyes. Live and learn.

Most politicians, and most MSM mouthpieces, and analysts know little to nothing of immigration/migration. Case-in-point, Kamala Harris and her root causes ploy.

You can correct the N400 at the interview. Get copies of the tickets if you can, if not, it probably will not be a big deal, but you should discuss it as USCIs probably already knows (note, don’t worry about traffic stops where no citation was issued). As to the military training, I am not too up on that, but aren’t reservists also trained in military tactics? You may be asked about it, so you can clarify it at the interview. Good Luck!

Yes, submit the tax information that has been already filed. Good Luck!

I believe that references the SB-1 returning resident visa. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/returning-resident.html

It is not a bad idea to get a re-entry permit, but I am not sure it is required if you are listed on your spouse’s official orders. I think you may also be able to naturalize. Good Luck! (U) Spouse and Children of U.S. Armed Forces Members or U.S. Government Civilian Employees Stationed Abroad: (a) (U) The LPR spouse or child of a civilian or military employee of the U.S. Government outside the United States pursuant to official orders, who has resided with such employee abroad, does not require a visa if: (i) (U) The spouse or child possesses a valid or expired Form I-551; (ii) (U) Has gone abroad accompanying or following-to join such a spouse, or married the U.S. Armed Forces member or U.S. Government employee while abroad, even if the LPR has been abroad more than 1 year, provided they would have been eligible to receive a visa as a returning resident at the time the marriage occurred; (iii) (U) Resided abroad while the employee or service person was on duty abroad; and (iv) (U) Is preceding, accompanying, or following to join the employee or service person (principal) to the United States; and (b) (U) In interpreting the provisions of 8 CFR 211.1(b)(1) waiving the visa requirement for the spouses and children of Armed Forces members or U.S. Government civilian employees serving abroad, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has held that: (i) (U) The spouse or child need not physically accompany the Armed Forces member or civilian employee to benefit from the visa waiver if the LPR is preceding or following-to-join the member or employee; (ii) (U) An LPR who does not physically accompany the Armed Forces member or employee to the United States must possess evidence that they are the spouse or child of a member or employee who was stationed abroad on official orders and that the spouse or parent was previously lawfully admitted for permanent residence; and (iii) (U) To benefit from the waiver, it is not material whether the member or employee was discharged abroad, or whether the spouse or child is residing in a country different from that in which the principal is stationed, provided all other criteria for the waiver are met; and https://fam.state.gov/fam/09FAM/09FAM020202.html
