That is the general rule of thumb, but not official rule. As to your research, I agree, this is most likely not considered work, just make certain. Good Luck!

ESTA/VWP is automatic 90 days. To the OP as others have stated, the big question would be related to if doing research as you said would be considered work. I expect there are a lot of resources in the academic community that can answer that question. The other issue would be returning soon after an almost maximum visit. You may want to take a miss on that trip. Good Luck!

Trying to build up you immune system? Superior minds want to know. Btw, you can buy canned and packaged foods from Walmart. Maybe @Neonred will tell you about his experiences there.

You forgot to add: All queen and king size sets shall have four pillowcases.

Agree, but when has the bureaucracy worried about things like that.

Hard to say in this current environment. She should be entitled to a hearing in front of an immigration judge.

Maybe it is time to see about unraveling some of this. I do wonder how entwined Canada's new PM was with Brookfield Asset Management. Exclusive: Andrew Weissmann in Crosshairs as War on Big Law Continues For years, Andrew Weissmann was one of the most visible and vociferous critics of Donald Trump, as a former deputy to Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and MSNBC legal analyst who wrote a book wondering if the president “paid bribes to foreign officials,” or had “Russian business deals in the works” when he ran for president. Now Weissmann is facing hard questions of his own, about eerily similar themes. In a pair of letters obtained by Racket, District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Ed Martin demanded to know why Weissmann ignored an alleged “conflict of interest” in signing off on a $4.5 billion settlement involving the Brazilian construction conglomerate Odebrecht in 2016, the largest such case in history. Weissmann had been (and is now) a partner at Jenner & Block, which represented a reputed key player in the story, a Canadian private equity firm called Brookfield Asset Management that until January was chaired by that country’s new Prime Minister, Mark Carney. https://www.racket.news/p/exclusive-andrew-weissmann-in-crosshairs

I suppose, but she was probably not a high priority, and she was apparently working illegally while inside the US. Should CBP bend over backwards for someone committing visa fraud? The bigger question is how many instances of things like this will it take to start reviewing the VWP/ESTA program?

Probably more related to the land border crossing where immediate flights, or proximity to an airport were not convenient. Detention allows for babysitting until that can occur. My nephew was turned away from Canada once at a land border as he was heading there to do some work (technician working on industrial equipment). He was told to get a proper Canadian work permit, but of course he could re-enter the US as a USC.

It is all about context. As to the OP, no one knows exactly what went on between the sister and the CBP officer, but if a question was asked about what a person's plan was when requesting entry, and the response was visiting family, taking care of my mother, or something like that, a CBP officer can imply illegal work on a visitor visa. Now I am not suggesting that was what exactly happened, but it could have. There was a similar story a while back with someone attempting to enter on a K1 being turned around when they were flippant about getting married after entry. Essentially, their response was maybe I will get married, and maybe I won't. The CBP officer turned them away. The upshot is you have to answer the CBP officer's questions truthfully, but there is no need to add information, be flippant, or sarcastic.

Fair enough regarding the English proficiency test. That being said, it does exist.

I agree with @OldUser on this one. Since you are living apart, but still apparently in a committed marriage, you need to provide all the evidence you can to show that the marriage is still bonafide and that would include evidence of every visit. You should also explain why you are still in this situation (I assume spouse wants to keep current job, or something like that). This is not an impossible hill to climb, but it is higher. Good Luck!

I don’t disagree, but I highly doubt it is am immediate RFE unless it is the only evidence submitted. And based on my simple search here, it appears it is definitely not a cut and dry issue. Sure USCIS has access to a lot of sensitive personal information, but the OP has a valid concern about if the package falls into the wrong hands. As I said, YMMV, and I would expect the IO would look at the package as a whole rather than an occasional redaction. Also you could say the same thing about photos being captioned and dated by hand, or any document, redacted or not as fabricated. I know, photos are secondary evidence, but it was my experience that IO’s do give them a little weight. Our IO at my wife’s GC interview loved our wedding photos.

A couple of similar threads asking the same question, and the answers vary.

Interesting, we redacted things like credit card numbers and bank account numbers and had no issues. I guess YMMV. If you have documents like bank statements, credit cards, 401k, etc., showing both names, USCIS does not need the account number(s) to see both names IMO. Good Luck! P.S. Our bank account statements do not show the complete account numbers anyway, so do I add the remainder of the numbers, or leave it as is? I chose the latter.

I agree, and to emphasize, do not file it before that date (5/19/2026). Good Luck!

OK, so that is really what most would refer to as the marriage license. Once you notify them that the marriage has occurred, and both of you and the officiant signs, the local clerk will issue the certified marriage certificate which you cannot alter.

If the marriage license (not the certificate) contains a section for a new family name, then yes, otherwise, no. And no, you cannot modify the certified marriage certificate. As an example, when my wife and I got married, also on a K1, the marriage license did not have a name change section. Regardless, my wife chose to take my family name, and she was able to use the marriage certificate to apply for her GC via the I485 process in her new name. Once she received her GC and had a new valid ID with her new name, she started changing things like her DL, SSN, etc. The upshot is within the US, the marriage certificate is recognized as a legal name change document for someone's family name. Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere outside the US which is one of the reasons my wife's foreign passport is still in her maiden name. I hope that helps. Good Luck!

You do not need to wait for the SSN to get married. As to changing one's last name during marriage, you can do that easily with respect to one's family name (cannot change someone's given [first] name via a marriage certificate to the best of my knowledge). Basically, regardless as to how the marriage certificate is sectioned, or worded, any valid marriage certificate is a legal name change document for someone's family name (even if it does not contain a specific name change section). Both spouse's have the option to change their family name. Once you are legally married, and have the valid marriage certificate in hand, you can apply for the GC (AOS) in the new name. Don't worry about the name on the SSN/SSC, you can update that when you get the GC with the new name. Good Luck!

ESG scores are a joke, and he knows it.

There is no English proficiency test for the N400? Apparently this person is not very knowledgeable when it comes to immigration. My other question is I wonder how many natural born USCs that have gone through the public education system can pass this test?

When searching here on VJ for "NVC prior marriage certificate", the threads are mixed. Fundamentally, all that should be required for previous marriages of either the petitioner or beneficiary should be certified copies of the legal termination of those marriages, but as you showed, the wording is asking for certificates. From what I am seeing it is best to include certified copies of previous marriage certificates for both parties along with the the legal divorce decrees, and if something is not available, upload an explanation as to why. Good Luck!

That is the funny thing about Costco. Something shows up for a few weeks, and then disappears. We have had the same experience with sheets that we like a lot, but only seem available once or twice a year. Now I am one for having multiple sets of sheets, and rotating them (3 flannel sets for Winter, and 5-6 regular sets for the rest of the year), and my wife has to keep me from the sheet aisle when we go there as she reminds me we have no more room in the linen closet.

Even if a lawyer/paralegal, or a visa service prepares your petition, it is still your petition. These entities have been known to make mistakes, so it is important that you are as knowledgeable as possible of the process, and check over any work done on your behalf as it is you signing the petition. Good Luck!
