A Tense Poland Votes as the World Watches
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Why were the Poles tense? Was it rather the elite Pro-EU "progressives" that were tense? I suspect like in other EU countries, these folks will try and negate the election. Democracy! -
I agree, you can correct any issues on the I485 at the interview, and in fact the IO will review your answers at the interview under oath, so as @TBoneTX said, bring it up first thing (my wife had a similar situation on her N400 with a red light ticket, brought it up first thing, and it was a non-issue). As to proof, didn't you have a German police report for your K1? If so, use that assuming it showed the violations. If not, you need to try and get proof of the citations for your interview. Good Luck!

I agree, I am curious what his basis was for getting a work permit after overstaying his B2 entry.

I-485 Denial
Dashinka replied to Abbiemay427's topic in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas
OK, so I would not mess with the I290B, and refile a new I485 package and include a joint sponsor along with their separate I864 and accompanying evidence. Good Luck! -
I-485 Denial

Need more clarity here. Do you meet the financial requirements to sponsor him on an I864 all by yourself? -
Proof of citizenship certification
Dashinka replied to Tesla 89's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
With the lack of specific dates, can you clarify, was she a minor (under 18) when you naturalized? Assuming she was, she is already a USC, and can apply for a US passport using your naturalization certificate. As @OldUser stated, she can also file the N600 to obtain her own naturalization certificate, but I would pursue the US passport first. Good Luck! -
J1 to AOS or CR-1
Dashinka replied to san809's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
If you choose option one, once his AOS package is filed, he enters a period of authorized stay, so he will be fine regardless of his J1 status. Even if the AOS is filed after the J1 status expires, the overstay will be forgiven since he is the spouse of a USC. As to option 2, the LDR thing will not raise red flags as many couples pursuing a spousal visa via consulate processing are in the same boat. I am not sure if he can keep using his J1, I assume so, but there may be more questions upon entry. Good Luck! -
I-130 for Sibling
Dashinka replied to mich23's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
I agree, I would petition both parents, and then you can let them choose how to handle things with the minor sibling once the I130’s are approved. Good Luck! -
I agree relative to the I864 since it is the petitioner’s form, but the I485 is all about the beneficiary, and when the OP married their foreign spouse (beneficiary), the foreign spouse became the step-mother of the petitioner’s child and the I485 specifically asks the beneficiary to list all children including step-children. There is no double counting since they are on different forms.

Advice on Travelling
Dashinka replied to oucusu's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
Completely different situation which was discussed somewhere here. If I recall, there were questions about working without a proper visa which of course is not covered by the Guardian. Regardless, you are fine, your overstay was forgiven when you got your CGC as the spouse of a USC. The only things I have heard about GC holders having issues at the border deal with those that have been out of the country for extended periods (> a year) without a re-entry permit. Heck there was one thread here on VJ of a LPR that was out of the country for 10 years or so and still got in with an I90 receipt and expired 10yr GC sometime during the last Administration, and this seems to be coming to an end with the current Administration. You will be fine with your short trip. My only advice is to make a copy or two of your extension letter, some airlines are not familiar with it, and may ask to keep it, and you need the original for CBP. Good Luck! -
Advice on Travelling
Dashinka replied to oucusu's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
Not for a trip of less than 6 months. Good Luck! -
Not any recent reviews, last one in 2021. https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Moldova&cty=&dfilter=5

This is horrible, and I agree, life changing issues for the daughter. Heck, I taught several of my nieces how to drive some when they were only 13. We always started in cemeteries since they have little traffic, usually paved roads, slow speeds, and many different types of turns. It really lets the new driver get the feel of the vehicle with a lot of time for education and if needed correction.

Unfortunately the I864 does not provide an area in Part 2 for other names used by the sponsor. Have your spouse use Part 11, and reference Page 1, Part 2, Item 1, and have her explain her name change after marriage. She should probably do the name change with the SSA if she hasn’t done that already. Good Luck!

I agree with you in theory, but how does the B2 applicant prove their USC significant other does in fact have no plans to repatriate? It can be a high bar to overcome the consulate's presumption of a B2 applicant's immigration intent as required by law when all an applicant gets is the DS160 and a 1-2 minute interview.
