Even with a paper application (my wife filed via paper) you can set up an online account so you get NOAs, and other communications while the process is occurring. Good Luck!

Did you check their online accounts? Often NOAs are posted in the Documents section.

Please provide a link to the story you are referencing. My point is this happens all the time, but it only gets notice by the leftist MSM when a Republican, and especially Trump is in the WH. The fact that USCIS found this person inadmissible to AOS via INA 245 means USCIS thought it was something worth referring to ICE.

Not trying to speak for @Crazy Cat's wife, but I have talked with quite a few Chinese, and Korean colleagues living in the US, and the number one complaint is the taste is different as the source of the ingredients is different. I have noticed a similar difference in my travels for instance kimchi in Korea is so much better tasting than kimchi one can get here (tolerable, but less tasty, and also much less variety).

Personally, if I did not have a Costco relatively close by, I would most likely not get a membership. Yes, they do ship things, but not everything.

That Boston mayor is a real winner.

I am curious if they will actually delete the data as this might be the only asset they have worth buying.

Interesting to see the I751 processing time coming down. There could be a few factors, lower workload as most people are coming as IR1s due to longer I130 processing times, or also AOS taking longer. I wonder if USCIS will go back to a 12 or 24 month extension letter.

It is not necessary IMO, but you can if you want. Good Luck!

Yep.

I think the point is if the spouse meet in person either during the ceremony, or afterward during a visitation, it would satisfy the "consummation" requirement per USCIS. We do not know anything about the OP as to their ability to travel to the US for a prison visit. If they are from an ESTA/VWP country, or they have a B2, they can meet the requirement even if the federal system does not allow conjugal visits.

Nope, not new, saw similar stories back during Trump's first Administration. The key point, DACA or not, is entered the US with inspection. DACA folks that entered the US with their parents without inspection only have the option of returning to their home country and pursuing consular processing most likely with a waiver. Here is an example from 2018 with a similar story. Probably happened under Biden's USCIS as well, but the media didn't care to highlight those stories. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/17/us/deported-dad-jorge-garcia-mexico/index.html

This in itself is not new depending on why an I485 was denied. What is new is the MSM covering it. There was someone being helped recently here on VJ that had their I485 denied, and is actively preparing a new filing (forgot to do something on the form). This VJ member was not met by ICE and immediately deported. Now if someone is applying for adjustment and are found inadmissible due to criminal activity, or maybe because they did not meet the requirements (for instance one is not eligible to AOS if they entered the US without inspection). Back during Trump's first term, there were sob stories of illegal border crossers that attempted to AOS for some reason, and it was denied and the person was deported. Again, not uncommon, but the MSM only covers it when it suits their politics.

Not really a big fan of American style Chinese food, but this could be written almost the same for many Thai restaurants. Now food in China is really good and I like the Lazy Susan approach to many restaurants there.

I would send a new package as it seems someone at USCIS struck out the barcode. Good Luck!

In general, most of the comments were about how Biden expanded humanitarian parole as an attempt to alleviate the stress he created at the border. I think I only saw one comment asking why Congress has not ended CAA, but you are correct, only Congress can end that program, although the administration can deprioritize processing of those applications just like what a Obama’s USCIS did with the I751.

The Cuban Adjustment Act is different than what Biden did relative to HP. I was hypothesizing a reason the administration/USCIS may have paused CAA I485s if they thought the Biden HP was unlawful the Trump Administration may be thinking the people entered without inspection which is a requirement for CAA.

I tend to agree. I was only hypothesizing on a possible reason CAA AOSs would be put on hold, to wait out challenges to the legality of the Biden very loose HP. I suspect the current administration will lose that battle in the end, but it will delay a lot of processing until then.

And possibly a federal judge will agree, but until that takes place, I suspect these applications will stay on hold if they even are.

I expect the motivation at least for the Cubans, is related to their eligibility to AOS via the Cuban Adjustment Act. Since many people believe the Biden program was illegal, then people using it would not meet the "inspected and paroled" requirement to AOS. That is just spit balling, but it is clear that many feel that Biden's program was unlawful to begin with. As to the others (Ukrainians, Venezuelans, Haitians), I don't believe they enjoy the same benefit to AOS as the Cuban do, but I could be wrong.

I would think the I485 stuff is dated a bit.

Online is the most efficient way to do it. The pending I751 is immaterial as to method of filing. Good Luck!

This was interesting and somewhat related. Didn't we see something similar in Trump's first term? Btw, I am not sure I agree with the numbers given the vast frontier of the US Canadian border with so many areas unguarded and unmonitored. The basis for the drug numbers is related to the amount seized, not the amount that gets through.

First, the note on the denial does not include the 18 day (new one to me) disclaimer for the I131, so in my reading the I131 is gone. I have not seen this note before, it is not clear is if this note refers to a new I485, or an I290B filing for the original I485 (my guess is the I290B). Regardless, my take is you need a new I131 and I765 with a new I485 filing, and I also see this with many lawyer opinions. Good Luck!

It is as bad as that judge ordering CBP to not send that Lebanese Dr. back to Lebanon. Are all people coming to the US on a visa now to be let in by CBP with no questions? CBP has a mandated function, and judges are not part of that mandate.
