If they have a pending I485, they should stay until those are decided or risk abandoning those petitions. As @Mike E stated, the pending I485 gives them authorized stay. Good Luck!

Administrative Hold, or Administrative Processing? Assuming AP, this means the consulate has more work to do before issuing the visa. This can be a lengthy as more background checks, or as short as they are affixing the visa to your passport. Good Luck, and hope for a short AP.

This should be helpful. Essentially they need to be physically present for more than 549 days (550 days if there are 2 leap years in the 5 year range). https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/continuous-residence-and-physical-presence-requirements-for-naturalization

You should be fine, as this is fairly common. If you read through all 11 pages of the thread in the thread provided, there was much more to the story there. If you are coming to activate your LPR status and the CBPO asks questions like that, just answer truthfully that you need to tie up your loose ends in Canada, but you also needed to trigger your LPR status ASAP due to you US job offer. Good Luck!

This is a pretty good strategy, the GOP needs to unmask the Democrat position of unlimited abortion up to the time of birth. Republicans’ Abortion Messaging Could Cost Them Everything in 2024 https://themessenger.com/opinion/republicans-abortion-messaging-could-cost-them-everything-in-2024

Hmm, makes a lot of sense. So has NATO and by extension, the US been the aggressor here, expanding their territory which is actually the cause of this war? I know, it is all about Putin and his aim for more land, or the reform the former U.S.S.R. argument, but of course those are ramblings from the Biden friendly Leftist MSM and the neo-cons on the Right. I still wonder what happens when Zelenskyy starts asking for troops since Ukraine is running out of them? David Sacks: Sadly, Ukraine Will Be Destroyed Before The West Admits We Need A Diplomatic Solution I don’t think the idea that Putin is Hitler is a serious argument. I don’t think that this is primarily a war of conquest. I think the cause, the causes of this war have been known for decades, which mainly has to do with Russian security concerns which the West continuously ignored. We ignored the advice of George Kennan in the 1990s in bringing NATO right up to Russia’s door. He predicted that would be a tragic mistake that would end in hostilities. We ignored the advice of our own ambassador to Moscow in 2008, Bill Burns, who is now the CIA director, who told us that expanding NATO to Ukraine was a red line for the Russians, not just Putin, but the entire Russian elite. It was absolutely a red line for Gorbachev and Yeltsin, as well as various liberal reformers inside of Russia. We ignored the advice of Kissinger and Mearsheimer, Professor Mearsheimer in 2014 who warned us we were headed for this war unless we agree to make Ukraine a neutral country. And instead, we ignored all of this advice for many years, and we persisted in this crusade to bring Ukraine into NATO and basically turn it into a giant military base on Russia’s most vulnerable border. And not surprisingly, Russia reacted quite negatively to this, as was predicted many times over the years by all the experts I mentioned, including many others. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/08/20/david_sacks_sadly_ukraine_will_be_complete_destroyed_before_the_west_admits_we_need_a_diplomatic_solution.html

Hmm, so at least someone is going to make money in San Fran. San Francisco ‘doom loop’ walking tour gets visitors ‘close and personal to the squalor’ — and it’s already sold out Tourists curious about San Francisco’s “urban decay” of abandoned shops, open-air drug use and homeless encampments can get a guided tour of the whole thing. A street-savvy guide fed up with the lack of action by the local government says they will take people on the so-called “Doom Loop Walking Tour” to see the worst of the city for themselves. A tongue-in-cheek ad for the tour claims: “You’ve read the headlines. You’ve seen the Tweets, now get close and personal to the Doom and Squalor of downtown San Francisco. “How can a city with a $14.6 billion annual budget be a model of urban decay? How can it spend $776.8 million per year on police and have no rule of law to show for it? “Discover the policy choices that made America’s wealthiest city the nation’s innovative leader of housing crisis, addiction crisis, mental-health crisis and unrepentant crime crisis.” https://nypost.com/2023/08/15/san-francisco-doom-loop-walking-tour-gets-visitors-close-and-personal-to-the-squalor/

Ahh, the Leftist Tin Foil Hat crowd at Vanity Fair has a comment. Why is it that all Leftist rantings/conspiracies are considered truth by the MSM, but any theory someone on the Right posits is labeled nuts? I know one big difference between the Leftist MSM and the media labeled as conservative such as the Left's primary whipping boy FoxNews. The right leaning media will cover everything, even stories that may be detrimental to their ideology, and the Leftist MSM will avoid any story that may tarnish their protected candidate (Joe Biden, et. al.), and promote any Democrat/Leftist theory as truth even when it is in fact total conspiracy (Russian Collusions...).

Do they plan to actually reside in the US?

With your plan, I would vote for citizenship as it will be much less hassle. The only thing you need to plan for is how long it will take for your wife and step-daughter to finish naturalization and get their US passports, so you may want to have a plan with flexible date. Good Luck!

I read the DailyNK quite often, and just about every story mentions the plight of the regular citizens of the DPRK. Of course the socialist government is doing nothing to help, but they are spending a lot of money to maintain the Kim dynasty.

My father's nickname was "Digger" as he worked at a cemetery during high school. I guess that is bad now.

Yes, but since the son is entering on an immigration visa, the petitioner has some responsibility related to the first entrance of the US regardless of how long that petitioner has been in the US. It is the same as for a spousal visa. If the father wants to establish his son is a USC (becomes an LPR prior to his 18th birthday thereby becoming a USC through his father), he should follow the idea spelled out by @Mike E. Good Luck!

Personally, I would never look to use an EV for towing unless it was very close. Wait until the big trucks start using these stations.

I always wondered what these charging stations were going to do to accommodate trucks pulling campers. Right now, most are not very trailer friendly.

Investigate an expedited passport appointment at the passport agency. I know back when my wife naturalized, we were traveling in about two weeks after her oath, and we went to the passport agency and she had her passport in 3 days. Now that was all pre-covid, so things may be a bit different now, but it is at least researching.

If you have enough liquid assets (3x the poverty guidelines) and they are US based I think that would work.

So when are they going to go after Chuckie Schumer for his fomenting of an insurrection against SCOTUS? I know, Democrat.

Hmm, so women are chickens now? Btw, what are they called after menopause? Biden Official Praising Clinic Calling Moms 'Egg Producers' Sparks Outrage Admiral Rachel Levine's recent visit to an LGBTQ+ clinic in Alaska has drawn some criticism due to the center's espoused views on gender identity, care and terminology—including the replacement of the word "mother" for the term "egg producer." Levine, who is transgender and has served as Assistant Secretary for Health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) since 2021, visited Identity Alaska in Anchorage on August 6. She is the first transgendered federal official ever confirmed by the U.S. Senate. She has repeatedly defended the transgender community and notably vulnerable trans youth, imploring against bullying tactics and "politically motivated attacks through state actions" in reference to the hundreds of bills weighed by state legislatures across the United States. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/biden-official-praising-clinic-calling-moms-egg-producers-sparks-outrage/ar-AA1fptuP

Just curious, have you ever had to wait at a DC fast charger yet? I suspect with Tesla opening their network to everyone (I suspect to get more revenue), and EVs starting to become more widespread, wait times at chargers will start becoming an issue. I know, most people charge at home, etc., etc., but we all know that is not practical for everyone, particularly apartment dwellers.

When is the interview? When is the son's 18th birthday? When does the father plan to return to the US? There are a lot of competing assumptions here and it is not guaranteed the visa will be issued or the son will even have the interview soon. Regardless, the father (petitioner) should be in the US either arriving with his son, or proceeding the son before the child activates their LPR visa. The father may need to make plans for a quick trip to the US with the son if all the assumptions line up. Good Luck!

American citizens are required to leave and re-enter the US on a U.S. passport. To the OP, hopefully you will hear back from USCIS soon. Good Luck!

No surprise here. Taxpayers should fund $300,000 UTERUS transplants to help transgender women get pregnant, suggests American Medical Association The American Medical Association (AMA) has suggested that taxpayers should subsidize uterus transplants worth up to $300,000 to help transgender women get pregnant. Arguments were made to reduce the cost of the surgery in its Journal of Ethics issue in June titled Patient-Centered Transgender Surgical Care. But the AMA has been criticized for floating the idea and has been accused of holding an 'activist position'. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12417181/American-Medical-Association-suggests-taxpayers-fund-300-000-UTERUS-transplants-help-transgender-women-pregnant.html
