I don't think anyone can predict how either your fiancé or her and your children will acclimate to their new environments. It is tough for all involved, and the only thing you can do is try and make it as easy as possible. If you think living separately temporarily is the best way to do it, so be it. I am not sure I agree, but it is your life and relationship. If you do choose this path, just be cautious as this could lead to hard questions, or other issues (as @Ontarkie mentioned, if your fiancé and her children arrive and are asked what address will they be staying, and it is not yours, there is a potential CBP could turn them around). Good Luck!

You start timing from the date you were documentary qualified. I am not sure if Ankara is backed up or not, but I am not sure there is much you can do unless you have a basis to request an expedite. Good Luck!

And yet they are attached to the “venerable” ABC News.

Identity politics at its best.

Might depend on how long ago the usage admission was. I have seen stories where the initial medical showing no use, and another one a year later worked for someone that admitted to using several years earlier. That being said, frequent check results might go a long way in the end.

Makes some good points. Do We Really Know That Human Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cause Significant Climate Change? October 24, 2023/ We start with the basic maxim that “correlation does not prove causation.” Instead, causation is established by disproof of all relevant alternative (“null”) hypotheses. Everybody knows how this works from drug testing. We can’t prove that drug A cures disease X by administering drug A a thousand times and observing that disease X almost always goes away. Disease X might have gone away for other reasons, or on its own. Even if we administer drug A a million times, and disease X almost always goes away, we have only proved correlation, not causation. To prove causation, we must disprove the null hypothesis by testing drug A against a placebo. The placebo represents the null hypothesis that something else (call it “natural factors”) is curing disease X. When drug A is significantly more effective at curing disease X than the placebo, then we have disproved the null hypothesis, and established, at least provisionally, the effectiveness of drug A. And yet somehow these principles don’t apply in the field of climate science. Instead, all the inside clique of the climate science community have decided to agree that the new way to prove causation is to show really, really good correlation with the preferred hypothesis, in which case subjecting the proposition at issue to a test of invalidation against a null hypothesis can be dispensed with. The climate science community calls its system for establishing causation “detection and attribution” studies. The basic idea is to come up with a model (i.e., a hypothesis) that predicts global warming based on increased greenhouse gases, and then collect data that show a very close match between what the model predicted and the data. Correlation with the model predictions is the claimed proof of causation. There are hundreds of such studies in the climate literature. My January 2, 2021 post linked to a classic of the genre, a 2018 IPCC-sponsored article written by a collection of some 36 co-authors who constitute a virtual “who’s who” of the insiders of the climate science cult (e.g., Michael Mann, Phil Jones, Tom Wigley, Ben Santer, etc., etc., etc.). The title is “Detection of Climate Change and Attribution of Causes.” Key quote: There is a wide range of evidence of qualitative consistencies between observed climate changes and model responses to anthropogenic forcing, including global warming, increasing land-ocean temperature contrast, diminishing Arctic sea-ice extent, glacial retreat and increases in precip- itation in Northern Hemisphere high latitudes. https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2023-10-24-do-we-really-know-that-human-greenhouse-gas-emissions-cause-significant-climate-change

Is anyone a little surprised by the amount of anti-semitism by the "progressive Left". I know Leftist are prone to throw the H moniker and N label on anyone they disagree with politically or ideologically, but this really shows how fascist and racist the Left really is. Sad really. Reaping the Whirlwind It grows ever clearer that the hunt for “microaggressions” and the impulse to expunge America’s historical figures might not be simply the products of refined sensitivity or some naive excess of care. Instead, the yearning for extraordinary measures to confront “injustice” can speak to darker impulses—to dominate, to humiliate, and to hurt. The true cost of these tactics has become more explicit. In cities across the world, activists rip down pictures of people, including children, taken hostage by Hamas. Such actions send clear message of animosity: the sufferings of Jewish hostages should be erased. No monuments for the wrong people has become a chic sentiment in elite American spaces. Now that logic is being chillingly applied to those slain, maimed, and abducted by Hamas. Activists have used the totem of “settler colonialism” to try to delegitimize the founding of the United States, and that same rhetorical figure has been put into service to dismiss Israeli—and Jewish—life. A Cornell professor called the Hamas attacks “exhilarating.” A late-night Manhattan march of masked protesters proclaimed, “there is only one solution—intifada revolution” (a phrase eerily reminiscent of Hitler’s “final solution”). On American college campuses, activists project on the side of buildings slogans like “glory to our martyrs” and “free Palestine from the river to the sea” (calling for the elimination of Israel). Others hold signs asking to “keep the world clean” that show the Star of David in a trash can. https://www.city-journal.org/article/anti-semitism-at-the-cooper-union

He will need to fill out the DS160 and schedule an interview appointment at the consulate in the UK. https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/tourism-visitor/ Good Luck!

Seems to be a satirical story, but in the end there are Queers for Hamas out there. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/equality-not-elitism/israel-war-the-fundamental-incoherence-of-queers-for-palestine

I like Mr. Mills research and analysis. The EV labor myth was enlightening. https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-ev-jobs-myth

Similar for Russia relative to changing names on things like passports (Russia has a national ID knowns as Domestic Passport, and a travel passport). My wife has chosen to keep all her Russian documents in her maiden name and she has had no issues.

Yes, the I130 and I130A. Please see the post above from @pushbrk that links the step-by-step guide. Good Luck!

Another version "Let's talk about your sister, I mean wife", and the computer started smoking...

Well, Minnesota did win Floyd of Rosedale this year. Good game, but I was rooting for Iowa.

Hmm, maybe some of these medical professionals should be held accountable. I do wonder what will become of the suit against the AAP. Detransitioner sues American Academy of Pediatrics for medical malpractice in historic lawsuit Ayala alleges the AAP published and disseminated a fraudulent 2018 “policy statement” that has been perceived by many as an authoritative guide by medical professionals for endorsing the “affirmative model” for gender dysphoria. The lawsuit that was filed on Monday claims that the policy lacked sufficient evidence and used misleading and fraudulent citations to support its conclusions and recommendations. She claims the policy should not have been used as a guide for treatment of gender-confused children across the country. Some of the doctors listed in her lawsuit include Dr. Jason Rafferty, who authored the 2018 AAP policy statement and has been one of the biggest advocates of gender-affirming hormones, and Dr. Michelle Forcier, who recommended Ayala testosterone injections after only one meeting. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/detransitioner-sues-american-academy-of-pediatrics-for-medical-malpractice-in-historic-lawsuit/ar-AA1iQo62

So this person not only identified as a female, but also a young teenager?

For filing for your wife, you only need to submit the I130 to get the ball rolling which requires you to also submit a copy of the marriage certificate. When the I130 is approved, it moves to what we call the NVC stage (NVC stands for National Visa Center) which is part of the Dept. of State and routes the I130 petition to the proper consulate. At the NVC stage you need to provide and upload the I864 form to show you can adequately sponsor your spouse, and also any other documents that help to show the ongoing relationship as this will be anywhere from 10-14 months from when you submit the I130. I hope that helps, but you do not need the financial information now. Good Luck!

It will be interesting to see what it says on the I485 interview NOA. I was looking up some recent examples that are available and the wording is below (bolded by me). I can imagine someone thinking it is also an I130 interview. "You are hereby notified to appear for the interview appointment, as scheduled below, for the completion of your Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status (Form I485) and any supporting applications or petitions."

Here is the study. Possibly works for men and women. Btw, the jokes were great! https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/health/taking-viagra-could-slash-alzheimers-31277584

The interview should be for the I485. As @Boiler mentioned, an I130 interview is very rare. Wait for the actual notice to help you determine how to prepare. Good Luck!

I agree with @powerpuff, it is not a requirement to comingle finances just to file the I130. Good Luck!

If you want to get the I130 in very soon, I would just use you current passport number, but you can still fill the form out with the name you have taken from the marriage. When the time comes for the interview at the consulate, you will have your new passport. Good Luck!

To file the N400, you only need a copy of your GC and a copy of your marriage certificate. You can include the interview required documents if you wish, but since you are filing under the 5 year rule, you do not need to include the spousal material below. The operative phrases are in bold. Good Luck! Other Documents. Depending on the circumstances, you should bring certain documents to your interview. You may also submit copies of these documents with your application. For example: A. Spouse of a U.S. Citizen. Bring the following items to your interview if you are applying for naturalization on the basis of your marriage to a U.S. citizen: (1) Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for at least 3 years at the time you file your Form N-400. Such evidence may include: a birth certificate (if your spouse never lost U.S. citizenship since birth), Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship, or Form FS-240 Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America; (2) Evidence of the termination of all your prior marriages; and (3) Evidence that you and your spouse have lived in marital union for at least 3 years at the time you file your Form N-400. Such evidence may include: (a) Joint bank and credit card statements; (b) Leases or mortgages; (c) Birth certificates of children; (d) Insurance policies; and (e) Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified copies of the income tax forms that you and your spouse filed for the past 3 years (or an IRS tax return transcript for the last 3 years). https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf
