The USAID Scandal Is Getting Worse by the Minute
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
A lot of people, elite people, are nervous. Time to release the Epstein flight logs and the Didi partygoers. -
Need help with N400
Dashinka replied to Rookiee2024's topic in US Citizenship Case Filing and Progress Reports
Maybe 4-8 weeks between submission and interview for an office with an 80% processing time of 5 months. This is not set in stone, so you need to keep an eye on the online account in case your application winds up getting called for an interview quickly as any interview notice should show up there. Also, you never clarified, has your I751 been decided yet? If not, expect an IO will look at both applications as the N400 cannot be decided until the I751 is finalized. Good Luck! -
Evidence of 3 years of living together
Dashinka replied to Holdanna's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
We did the same thing sort of. We don’t have a joint account together, but rather have two accounts where we are listed as co-owners of each other’s accounts, so we only included the pages showing that joint ownership from our C.U. -
If filing online, I think your only options are a credit card, or e-check via your bank routing information. Good Luck!

Messed up my taxes! What do I do? (DS-260)
Dashinka replied to kk5051's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
You may want to discuss this with a tax accountant that specializes in US expats. Good Luck! -
Evidence of 3 years of living together
Dashinka replied to Holdanna's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
Based on the N400 instructions (see below), I would organize it in a similar way. He can add more evidence if he wants in the other evidence section (I assume he is filing online). Good Luck! Required Evidence - Eligibility Based on Marriage to a U.S. Citizen Provide a copy of the following if you are applying for naturalization based on your marriage to a U.S. citizen: 1. Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for at least 3 years at the time you file your Form N-400. For example: A. Your spouse’s U.S. birth certificate (if your spouse has held U.S. citizenship since birth); B. Your spouse’s Certificate of Naturalization; C. Your spouse’s Certificate of Citizenship; D. Your spouse’s Form FS-240, Consular Report of Birth Abroad; or E. The biographical page of your spouse’s U.S. passport; 2. Current marriage certificate and any divorce decree, annulment decree, or death certificate showing that your and your spouse’s prior marriages were terminated (if applicable); and 3. Evidence that you and your spouse have lived in marital union for at least 3 years before the time you file your Form N-400. Some examples include: A. Joint bank or credit card statements; B. Leases or mortgages; C. Birth certificates or adoption decrees (as applicable) for any children born or adopted during the marriage by either spouse; D. Insurance policies; and E. IRS tax transcripts for you and your spouse for the past 3 years. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf -
Each entry can be an adventure depending on the CBP officer she encounters. All she can do is answer the officer's questions truthfully, she is not required to offer anything additional. If asked to provide more evidence she will return, she should share what she has, and more importantly, don't show up at the PoE with all her worldly possessions indicating she does not plan to return to Chile. Many spouses visit on B2/ESTA while the I130 is pending, the general rule-of-thumb is shorter visits (i.e. don't max out the 90 days or six months, etc.), and show a pattern of adhering to the entry and exit requirements. Good Luck!

I have only seen a few stories of what is going on here. Very sad really. South Africa has abandoned civilisation Moeletsi was the victim of a deliberate state policy. In September last year, the South African government, led by the African National Congress (ANC), launched Operation Vala Umgodi, which in Zulu translates as ‘close the hole’. The aim, in the words of a government minister, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, was to ‘smoke out’ illegal gold miners. The government would do this by cutting off the miners’ supplies and trapping them underground, in an attempt to force them to the surface. In Buffelsfontein, where the shafts are over two kilometres deep, this was a tragedy foretold. As public concern for the trapped miners mounted, the ANC remained callously indifferent. It argued that these miners, most of whom were immigrants, were acting unlawfully and remained underground of their own volition. ‘We are not sending help to criminals’, Ntshavheni told reporters. This was, apparently, a justifiable action against the rising tide of criminality in South Africa. Illegal mining has thrived in South Africa through small-time pilfering and organised criminal networks, costing the economy billions of rands in lost income and royalties. You may recall that South African president Cyril Ramaphosa is the man who, at a BRICS meeting in November 2023, accused Israel of committing war crimes and genocide in Gaza. He qualified these accusations by stating that the ‘deliberate denial of medicine, fuel, food and water to the residents of Gaza is tantamount to genocide’. So, did Ramaphosa commit genocide in the Buffelsfontein Gold Mine? https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/01/31/south-africa-has-abandoned-civilisation/

This may be helpful. You can search for a CBP deferred inspection location and get a stamp. As to the documents, does the visa in the passport have the note “IV Docs in CCD”? Is so, all the relevant documents are transferred electronically. Good Luck!

US Citizen Child into the US on ESTA
Dashinka replied to adzgem's topic in Bringing Family Members of US Citizens to America
You should be fine applying for their U.S. Passports with their UK birth certificates and proof of your U.S. citizenship (presumably your U.S. based birth certificate). Good Luck! -
You will be fine as you do not have to have your 2024 taxes filed until April. Good Luck!

I-864 Updates and Expiration
Dashinka replied to may5's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Personally, I would not worry about trying to re-open anything at NVC, but you can fill out a new I864 with 10/17/2024 revision (the evidence should be the same), and have your spouse take it with them to the interview in case the CO asks for it. My guess though is the consulate will not ask for it. Good Luck! -
There are many factors related to this. Similar to many MENA, sub-Saharan and other countries not very friendly or with governments not very effective countries, the Russian government may not be fully cooperating with the US consulates relative to background information. Add to that the US consulates in Russia only staffed for emergency operations, and therefore IVs (K1's included) need to look for other consulates to handle their visa applications, so that adds more processing time. All-in-all, a real pita.

Apparently California never learns. Do they know that the wildfires that are partly the fault of the CA state bureaucracy and CA elected leaders emitted way more GHGs than years of burning fossil fuels for energy or transportation. Additionally, why are all these boneheaded plans initiated by Scott Weiner? California bill would hold oil and gas companies liable for climate change-fueled damage https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5110908-california-bill-fossil-fuel-companies-liability-climate-change/
