Daily Update on Biden Tanking America (Part 2)
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Completely agree. Biden was toast during the Democrat Primary in 2020, and all those people that said they just came to that conclusion recently like Joe S. are being disingenuous. -
B2 - Getting married in the US to girlfriend/fiancé from Vietnam
Dashinka replied to Razorfish's topic in Tourist Visas
I agree either option is fine, but unless you want to plan a big wedding, I would choose option 1 as you can get the immigration ball started sooner. I also agree, her B2 will not be revoked by simply getting married to a USC. She can visit during the process with her valid B2 (many people do this). The advice is to not abuse the B2 such as coming to the U.S. for six months, leaving for a few days and then coming back for another six months stay. Using a B2 like that is what gets them canceled. Good Luck! -

He see dead people, so it is not a stretch that he sees invisible Constitutional Amendments. -
No, your daughter needs an I130 to immigrate. As already stated, let your son’s and husband’s I130s sit at NVC, you can gather the information necessary, but do not submit anything until your daughter’s I130 catches up (you can attempt to expedite her I130 with USCIS), then when all three are at NVC, submit all the required evidence and they can proceed to the consulate. Good Luck!

Newsom already survived a recall attempt, and he will most likely survive this one with help from the San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Diego leftists that are not impacted by the fires directly. As to Bass, that is a bigger question given her more recent election. Both should be gone for their parts in not doing more to prepare and mitigate conditions for when a fire would inevitably happen. The insurance companies saw it coming and pulled out. I heard a story about someone scuba diving with sharks (black tipped IIRC), the guide told them black tipped sharks were safe, but if they suddenly left the area, the divers needed to come back to the boat ASAP. Makes sense, if the insurance companies are refusing policies in a certain area, maybe it means government needs to do more for mitigation.

Canadian Child with father in USA - Child wants to move here
Dashinka replied to Incognito2025's topic in Canada
Good catch, yes, the step-mother (OP in this case) can file the I130, then they don't have to worry about converting from F2A to IR2. -
Any advice please! Ir1 visa
Dashinka replied to James1998's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You properly corrected the error with the properly filled out DS260. If the CO brings up the discrepancy, answer truthfully that you did not know about the mistake on the I130 (not really a defense as even with a lawyer, the petitioner should double and triple check what is being submitted on their behalf), but when you found it, you set the record straight (the CO probably already has your travel history). Lastly, fire your lawyer. Good Luck! -
Corrections like this are common at the interview stage, and if the CO brings it up, just explain that you mis-understood the purpose of the original application like you stated above. The main point is that you corrected your error before you actually applied for an immigration benefit (i.e. a DV1 visa). Good Luck!

Canadian Child with father in USA - Child wants to move here
Dashinka replied to Incognito2025's topic in Canada
Your husband should file an I130 for his son and pursue consular processing. Initially it will be classified as an F2A, but when your husband naturalizes, it will be reclassified as an IR2. Your husband will also have to work out details of the custody situation, I am not sure of that particular process. Good Luck! -
Almost Been Two Years
Dashinka replied to Pathfinder42's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
I echo @TBoneTX with his comments. You are fine for the I129F petition filing, but do as much as possible to have additional meetings, and show proof of an ongoing relationship for when the consulate phase comes up in a year or so. This is especially important when petitioning someone from a high fraud country. Good Luck! -
Have you attempted to contact the local office in Vermont?

Consulates will not accept an I130 for DCF if the I130 has already been filed with USCIS. According to the OP, the I130 was filed 11 months ago with USCIS. That being said, I agree, DCF would have been an option. In addition, USCIS does not authorize DOS to accept a local filing abroad if the petitioner has already filed a Form I-130 domestically for the same beneficiary. If exigent circumstances exist, the petitioner should request expedited processing for an electronic or domestically-filed petition. Local consular or USCIS staff should inform the petitioner of the process to request expedited adjudication.[7] https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-3

Personally I would attempt the expedite due to your mandatory relocation as it is free and they can only say no. You will have to attempt separate expedites at each stage (USCIS, NVC, and Consulate). I would wait on re-applying for a B2 until you see what is happening, and maybe make a decision around August if the expedites are not approved (wait times for B2 interviews or waivers in Hong Kong are 1-3 days). Good Luck!

Driver permit while I751 and N400 pending
Dashinka replied to vj33's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
OK, so at least you have a record that you tried to correct USCIS's error, and have filed the I751 properly. I guess I am more curious why USCIS choose to cancel the I90 filing even with the I751 filing. It does make sense that this should happen, but I guess I expect less efficiency from USCIS. Good Luck with your driver's exam! -
Driver permit while I751 and N400 pending
Dashinka replied to vj33's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
How did you file the I90? To replace a card that was issued in error, an I90 is the proper form and the GC should be replaced at USCIS costs. That being said, sure, feel free to pursue a driver's permit as you are an LPR, and have followed all the requirements of someone that has, or should have been issued, a 2yr conditional GC. Take your GC and extension letter from the I751 filing, you can take the N400 NOA, but I don't think that is necessary. Good Luck! -
spouse of US citizen NVC stage
Dashinka replied to monu123's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
So assuming your household size will be 3 on your I864, you will be close to the HHS poverty guidelines, so a consulate may request a joint sponsor which is per their discretion. I would try to line one up to be safe and avoid delays. Good Luck! -
A quick question - Is this legal?
Dashinka replied to WheresMyLawyer's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
Maybe yes, maybe no. All B2 entries are at the discretion of CBP, so a pattern of coming for 4 months, leaving for 4 months, and returning might eventually raise eyebrows with CBP and possibly lead to cancellation of her B2. -
Thank you for everything

Congratulations! -
221g administrative Cr1 visa
Dashinka replied to mart simon's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
Doesn't appear to be a denial, but rather a white 221G stating "Administrative Processing". Before the OP removed the attachment that wasn't redacted, it showed Algeria, so could be a long AP.
