  1. You can list different addresses for mailing and physical, but with a temporary physical address as you described, I am not sure I would list it. There is no online option for the I134, but I would make sure to retain copies of anything she takes to the interview. Good Luck!
  2. Hmm, who would have thought CO2 was plant food, and climate models are wrong. Global Warming Delayed, Who Could Have Guessed? Plants will absorb 20 per cent more carbon dioxide than predicted by the end of the century, a new study has found, suggesting climate models are overestimating how fast the planet will warm. Trinity College Dublin said its research painted an “uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet” after finding models had failed to take into account all the elements of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, green plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide, water and minerals into the sugars they need for growth. Scientists thought climate change could weaken the process, but the new research suggests plants can adjust to the temperatures, efficiently absorbing carbon dioxide, producing extra nutrients, and continuing to thrive. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/11/20/global-warming-delayed-who-could-have-guessed-n593374
  3. I agree with @Boiler, if not too much of a financial burden, file the I130, and in 18-24 months look at the situation. If she has no desire to relocate permanently to the US, let the I130 lapse, and let her keep her B2 for visiting. If she wishes to relocate, then continue with the IR5. We did this for my adult stepson as we have no idea what the situation will be in 15+ years. Good Luck!
  4. In that case why aren’t your husband’s company lawyers handling your case. I work for a large multinational that regularly handles immigration and expatriate tax issues for employees and their spouses/children. Anyway, I agree with others, file the I90 on your own, and then if biometrics are required come back for them. Good Luck!
  5. You may consider coming back to the US to file the I90. https://citizenpath.com/green-card-renewal-outside-us/
  6. The first step for you is to file the I130. As to the rest, like @Crazy Cat and @D-R-J that depends specifically on your husband’s current location, and situations. Good Luck!
  7. Just remind your friend that even if using an immigration attorney, she and her soon-to-be spouse need to stay very close to the process, and scrutinize any forms they need to sign. There are many stories where petitioners and beneficiaries have attorneys (or more likely clerks or paralegals) that make mistakes. Good Luck!
  8. It can be, but most will file the I130 online since it is more convenient than filling out and printing the I130 forms. What can be done is submit the I130 online, then once the receipt NOA is received, that can be copied and sent with the I485 package. Here is a fairly recent thread outlining it. If they do want to fill out the I130 separately, then they can be sent together. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/uscis-lockbox-filing-locations-chart-for-certain-family-based-forms
  9. If she does decide to adjust status via the I130/I485 process, her and her spouse should do everything they can to submit that as soon as possible. Overstays are forgiven for immediate relatives, but as @Crazy Cat stated, once her authorized stay expries, she is deportable until she receives the I485 acceptance NOA. Good Luck!
  10. No extension possible as I assume she entered via VWP/ESTA. Beyond that, @Crazy Cat gave the best advice if that works out for your friend. If not working or traveling internationally for 8+ months is not an option for your friend, then they can also proceed with consular processing for an eventual spousal visa. Good Luck!
  11. Why is it that Pro-Israel rallies are so peaceful, and the Pro-Hamas rallies are so violent?
  12. Except those in government want the illusion of power, hence we get this current mess.
  13. No one in DC is worthy of being anyone’s hero. What DC needs is some serious accountability for all, and not just he person.
  14. I think it has more to do with a serious case of TDS. All politicians, appointees, and bureaucrats lie. That you accept some and not others is on you.
  15. I agree, current income is the most important. Good Luck!
  16. Hmm, so a very busy freeway in the LA area will be completely closed for several weeks due to a fire deliberately set in a homeless encampment. Gotta love Democrat run cities. Fire that Shut Down I-10 Freeway Started Near LA Homeless Encampments https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fire-that-shut-down-i-10-freeway-started-near-la-homeless-encampments/ar-AA1jRW8n
  17. Posted this mainly due to the comment made. It seems clear that governments are clearly moving more toward socialism/central planning which of course is a failure and absolutely insane (remember Einstein's quote). The Democrats are the worst at it at least in the US, but the GOP is not far behind. Automakers hitting brakes on electric vehicles for all John Mozena, who has decades of experience in the automotive and battery industries and is the president of the Center for Economic Accountability, said this is a “great example” of central planning. “This is a great example of what happens when government central economic planning runs face-first into the real world of consumers having inconvenient opinions and making actual decisions," Mozena wrote in an email to The Center Square. "At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how many EVs automakers build. Rather, it matters how many EVs consumers want to buy and drive.” https://www.thecentersquare.com/michigan/article_676d4aa8-7d61-11ee-86d3-a3f3e83dd80c.html
  18. Chickens coming home to roost? Wind power industry in moment of reckoning as stocks fall and earnings crumble With the world trying to transition at pace toward cleaner energy, equipment manufacturers are struggling to keep up with soaring global demand, leading to rising production costs and questions over the economic sustainability of large-scale projects from the industry’s major players. Manufacturing faults, most notably at Siemens Energy’s wind turbine subsidiary Siemens Gamesa, have emerged as companies race to build turbines at a greater pace and scale. The problems at Gamesa led Siemens Energy to scrap its profit forecast earlier this year, and last month the company sought guarantees of up to 15 billion euros ($16 billion) from the German government. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/13/wind-power-industry-in-moment-of-reckoning-as-stocks-fall.html
  19. So essentially Barry was saying Trump was getting corrupted by the DC culture. I think we hear that all the time. How many idealistic politicians are utterly corrupted by DC?
  20. You may want to ask a moderator to move this question to the Vietnam specific regional forum by hitting the "Report" button, and requesting that. Fundamentally, the Utah Online marriage certificate should be acceptable by the consulate in Vietnam. I could not find anything that says otherwise, but I am not completely familiar with marriage culture in Vietnam. Good Luck!
  21. Go to his member profile page, he explains it there.
  22. I like the idea of eliminating the option to adjust from a B2/ESTA. Maybe eliminating the ESTA altogether or at least for countries where overstays are rampant.
  23. In my opinion, attempting a B2 carries more risk than reward. As others have said, the bar is high for those applying for a B2 from a VWP country, and the risk is losing that VWP privilege if the B2 is denied. As to deriving citizenship, I agree with the others, I would consult a U.S. immigration lawyer as those laws are complex, and have changed over time. Good Luck!
  24. Happy Veteran’s Day to all those that have served.
  25. If available, probably best to get the IRS transcript. I would also take a copy of the package you submitted, and any other marital comingling evidence you have since submitting your package. I also remember the IO in our case being quite interested in photos from our wedding. Good Luck!
