She answered “no” to the question ‘would she lose her accommodation if she failed to provide the service?’. Is that how Workaway works?

Completely anecdotal, but recently went through immigration at Detroit Metro airport, and did not witness much in the way of delays in either the visitor line or the citizen/resident line, and no instances of LPRs of visa holders being sent to secondary.

I always love it when food/meals are labeled generically as Chinese, Mexican, Brazilian, etc. The food in those countries are immensely diverse from region to region. Food in the Shanghai area is different from Beijing which is different from Sichuan, etc. I suppose people sample some fares, and then label it generically. Another great example is Thai, as compared to Vietnamese, as compared to Cambodian, as compared to Hmong. There is a lot of differences in those cuisines.

Jan. 18. A two week vacation generally does not result in an official residential address change. Good Luck!

To add to this, even with a lawyer or visa service, the petitioner and beneficiary still need to do all the legwork, and check all the forms. To the OP, if there is no criminal history, or immigration related issues, a lawyer is most likely not needed. When I started the journey with my now wife, I had a consult with a lawyer (friend of a family member) regarding my I129F, and was prepared to go that route, but he reviewed the case and suggested I handle it. This was the best advice I ever received from a lawyer.

Yes, he needs to file an I130 and I485 for the son along with the evidence required for those petitions. I agree with @Boiler, a lawyer should probably be consulted. Good Luck!

Make sure you have the watermarked original with you to present to CBP, and take a few copies in case an airline asks to keep a copy. Beyond that, you should be fine.

Completely agree, and it seems we see that even with what is described today as a decidedly conservative court. All rulings from SCOTUS are not 6-3, so they are not simply rubber stamping a conservative idealism. I also agree, court packing is not a good move by any stretch. I could agree with some term limits, but if Congress wants to do that, they need to look at their own branch of the government as well. I am old enough to remember voters in some states attempting to put term limits on their House and Senate members, and that was fairly rapidly and rightly struck down by SCOTUS at that time as unconstitutional. What SCOTUS does need to do though with its own branch is bring back jurisdictional control at the District and Appellate levels.

In this I completely agree. It is the people that need to decide what is disinformation and what is not. The issue I see, at least when the Democrats are in charge, is movement toward the government doing this either through a “Disinformation Tsar” as suggested under the previous administration, or by some faceless unelected bureaucrats. This smacks of the regimes ruled by the likes of Putin, KJU, Maduro, etc.

I wasn’t really referencing the bias or perceived bias of the BBC, I was more commenting on why any government is funding a news organization. We talk about state sponsored media with respect to totalitarian regimes, and it is true, so why do we allow governments to fund any media? Now in the U.S. it may be different as we are supposed to have a separation of the government with the media which I deem a good thing. What we saw though in 2020 was the government actively suppressing stories via media and social media. Is that a good thing? Elon Musk, love him or hate him, actually bought X to stop that practice of the U.S. federal bureaucracy controlling the speech on that platform, and it has worked so far, much to the chagrin of those government agencies. I know, it is all about disinformation, but who decides what is disinformation? I actually like the BBC, and I agree, they tend to be fairly centrist in their reporting, but the U.S. government has no business sending US taxpayer money to them. Would you agree with the UK government sending UK taxpayer money to say Fox News, or ABC, etc.? I am not familiar with reporters without borders, but like many NGOs or as I like to call them GFOs (government funded organizations), they also have an inherent bias of keeping their funding streams alive.

It would take a Constitutional amendment to change how federal judges are appointed which is why as partisan politics became the norm (no, this did not start with Trump), the suggestion is always to add more judges. Yes, there are countries with more, but is more better? If Congress wants to actually do something to provide more representation to the people they supposedly represent, they need to change their rule that limits the number of House members to 435. The House members are supposed to be the direct representatives of the people, and the apportionment of the U.S. House is second only to India as to the average amount of people each Representative is representing (~750k people per House member).

Yep, it is always a great idea to be flippant with the person deciding on your visa, or deciding if you can enter on said visa. I remember a story of an Australian attempting to enter on a K1 that was flippant with the CBP officer. They were not allowed to enter and their visa was canceled.

No a media organization. Of course the question is can a media organization be impartial when their funding is coming from a government? Isn’t that the very definition of state sponsored media?

There may be some scrutiny, and maybe you have pictures to share with the IO at your N400 interview to help tell your story as you told us in your first post. Filing under the 5yr rule should bring less scrutiny than filing under the 3 yr rule, but it also allows USCIS to review your complete file. Since you and your former spouse submitted a lot of evidence to get your IR1 visa, and USCiS and the DoS already decided you deserved one, you should be fine. The main thing @OldUser is suggesting is to just prepare yourself. Good Luck!

Hmm, apparently Starmer is more interested in the end of Ramadan than his own mother. Anyway, Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in or from the UK.

My wife looked into it, and at least in the case of Russia, they did not accept a marriage certificate as a legal name change document, and it appears Ukraine may be the same. My wife decided to just not change anything as it would involve a lot of legwork such as changing her internal ID along with everything tied to that. It has not become an issue and my wife has traveled many times with her married name on her GC, and now US Passport, and her maiden name on her Russian passport. If you want to see it through, you have two options that I know of. Applying for a legal name change through a U.S. court (not sure if you can do this remotely since you are now living in Europe), or awaiting for naturalization if you eventually plan to do that and conduct a legal name change through the N400 process. Good Luck!

Hmm, does California have the money? California high-speed rail project needs $7 billion by next summer California's embattled high-speed rail project will soon need at least $7 billion in order to move forward. During a budget hearing focused on transportation in the State Assembly on Wednesday, Helen Kerstein with the California Legislative Analyst's Office told lawmakers the project faces a $7 billion budget gap and the funds need to be secured by next June. If not, Kerstein said it will create yet another delay for plans to finish the project's first segment between Merced and Bakersfield. "There is no specific plan to meet that roughly $7 billion gap, we also think there is some risk that gap could grow," Kerstein said. "This isn't a way out in the future funding gap. This is a pretty immediate funding gap." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/california-high-speed-rail-project-needs-7-billion-by-next-summer/ar-AA1BS4ko?ocid=BingNewsVerp

If she is fine, why are you continuing with the leftist/MSM playbook of stoking the fear? USCIS screws up all the time sending RFE’s for evidence already provided, and the text of those RFEs can be just as scary. I get it, Trump is bad, he is Hitler, or worse just like the Democrat gaslighting and their MSM allies tell us every day. You know the difference between Trump and the most recent former Presidents? Trump is actually doing what he said he would do instead of just making campaign promises he had no intention of keeping. He said he would deal with the criminal illegal aliens, you know, the gangs taking over areas, and he is. Now the Dems find themselves defending those gang members. Trump also said he was fine with legal immigration, so why would he backtrack on that considering he has not backtracked on anything else? Whatever, I still say if one is in legal status, and are not a criminal like Kahlil, you do understand taking over a building and keeping the staff there (mostly custodians) from leaving is kidnapping right, they will be fine. You are doing everything right with your cases, and regardless of anyone’s feeling toward the CAA process, it is legal until Congress says otherwise. So good like with those cases.

And in the case of a spousal visa, the LPR status begins upon entry in the U.S. with a valid spousal visa (CR1/IR1). If a foreign spouse is issued a CR1 after the interview because the marriage is less than two years old, but enters the U.S. with that visa after the second wedding anniversary, they will get a 10 yr GC.

Shouldn’t except possibly more scrutiny by CBP.

You need to read the letter. She is fine.

You need to reread the third paragraph. Yes, she received this letter because the great big bureaucracy built by the establishment doesn’t know its right hand from its left. This letter only applies to those that have not obtained legal status through other means i.e. CAA.

I don't really know for certain, but the fact that your foreign passport shows similar naming, I doubt it.

Up to you.

I would put your middle name in the other names used section based on your story. You can discuss it with the IO when you have your interview if there area any questions, and you will have the chance to update the N400 at that time and change it to a name change application if needed. Good Luck!
