A defense for getting a UIP?

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Just don’t pee in your diesel fuel tank.

Generally, the I693 is not provided to the intending immigrant, but they should have received a copy of the DS3025. My now wife got a copy of the 3025 back in 2014, but it is possible things are different now. That being said, the I693 and DS3025 should have been transferred by the consulate to USCIS, so you should be good there. The hangup would be if the DS3025 was not marked as complete. I would sift through whatever papers your now wife brought with her when she arrived, to see if the DS3025 is in there. As to the interview, you should be fine, but if the copy of the DS3025 is not marked as complete, the worst case would be getting another RFE to complete it which more than likely would require another complete medical exam by a civil surgeon as most will not simply do just the vaccinations. Good Luck! I am going to move this to the AOS forum as you may receive more responses there.

The visa is based on the interview date, but as @S2N stated, the LPR status, conditional or regular, is based on the date of admission (start of LPR status). If you are close to the 2 year mark on your marriage, wait to enter on the spousal visa after the second wedding anniversary, and you will be entitled to a 10 yr GC regardless as to the class printed on the visa. Yes, CBP may not catch it, so you can politely let them know, but even if for some reason the GC comes with only 2 yr validity, you can file an I90 for free to correct USCIS’s error. So I will stress again, @Crazy Cat can also emphasize, if you are near your second wedding anniversary, and the visa will remain valid until after that wedding anniversary, do everything you can to enter the U.S. after that second wedding anniversary date. Good Luck!

So very true. Another winner by the now second worst President.

Understandable. Congrats on 15 years as an LPR!

I agree with @Neonred, I love the amusement! Don’t take the razzing as the need to stop. Of course I am fairly drunk right now, but I was also a firefighter back in the 90’s if that explains anything.

Just curious, why not naturalization?

It is amazing how many people’s only understanding of immigration stems from watching “The Proposal” or 90 Day Fiancé or its spinoffs.

Absolutely, and this appears to be the basis for the MS/synchronized media for saying he was here legally. I haven’t heard of the legal status deportation order, blocking a single country status.

To clarify, he applied for asylum which was denied by an IJ and upheld by BIA. Also, yes, there is an active order of deportation on him, but also a removal stay specific to El Salvador, but not any other country to my knowledge. With asylum claim denied, and entering the U.S. without inspection, I do not see a pathway for him to become legal inside the U.S. what I am unclear of is can a new asylum claim be entered after one was denied? I suppose yes, if the circumstances have changed.

The gift that keeps on giving. Unfortunately. Killer whose death sentence was commuted by Biden is indicted for first-degree murder of 12-year-old girl https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14620741/death-row-commuted-Biden-murder-child.html

So Van Hollen could not throw his weight around in El Salvador to see a citizen of El Salvador? It seems this winner was an accused wife beater as well. My how the Democrats will use somebody for politics. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/maryland-man-kilmar-abrego-garcia-exposed-police-records-violent-repeat-wife-beater https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1912651317975064908/photo/1

Wait, I thought the UK was fully woke. Does this mean all those prosecutions/detainments for misgendering someone will go away?

You can do this on your own, but the IO may review the past immigration related activities, so an attorney might help ease your mind. It really depends on how comfortable your are with possibly reliving and answering questions about what was undoubtedly a painful period. Good Luck!

Anecdotal, but my wife and I also found this the easiest process compared to K1, AOS and ROC. We are not sure, but I believe it helped that my wife had her I751 pending when she had her N400/I751 combo interview. Since our IO in Detroit had my wife’s I751 package in front of her, and I was also present supporting my wife, the IO did not ask for any of the marriage information my wife had with her (back in 2018, there was no requirement to upload all that information, it was only required for the interview). Also, the IO conducted a very brief, less than 5 minutes, I751 interview with us to verify the I751 info, and update any info from the filing date about 1.5 years earlier. Overall, your plan seems solid, you should be fine. Just a note, Detroit moves pretty fast, so when you do get your interview notice, if the I751 is still pending, upload a note requesting a combo interview. Good Luck!

Couldn’t pass this up.

Another possible book title!

Would anyone be surprised? It is a fact that when Democrats accuse their political opponents of doing something nefarious, you can bet those same Democrats are doing just that. I am sure Ms. James will use all the tried and true leftist talking points in defending herself in the media, top most of which will be racism, lawfare, sexism, etc. I am curious how she can be AG of NY with her primary residence in VA. Federal agency refers New York AG Letitia James to DOJ for prosecution for alleged mortgage fraud “On August 30 and 31, 2023, through her attorney, Ms. James purchased this property in Norfolk, VA. In a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Form 3047 and in mortgage documents, she reaffirmed this would be her primary residence, despite being a statewide public office holder in the state of New York at that same time and primarily residing in the state of New York,” the letter stated. In the second instance, James was accused of understating the number of housing units in a property she owned in Brooklyn in an apparent attempt to get it treated with a better mortgage interest rate, the letter alleged. https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/federal-agency-refers-new-york-ag-letitia-james-doj-prosecution

It is amazing how the Democrats seem to be latching on to the 20% side of the 80-20 issues out there. This is one of them, and even Hakeem the Dream is saying the Dems are just trying to shape public opinion on this issue which means to the Dems, it is all political. Once the facts actually got out about this person, it seems pretty clear, there is no basis for him to be in the US regardless of the tear-jerking stories being given by the Dems, and their MSM/synchronized media allies. Abrego Garcia isn’t the winning political issue Democrats think he is To hear Democrats like Sen. Chris Murphy (D-RI) tell it, Garcia was just an innocent, doting father who was randomly targeted by the Trump administration to be sent to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. The Supreme Court then ordered Trump to return this “legal” resident back to the United States. Trump has refused, sending our nation into a constitutional crisis. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has even announced he is going to personally travel to El Salvador to bring Garcia home. The problem is that Democrats leave a lot out of Garcia’s story, and the truth makes Trump’s failure to return him quite reasonable. For starters, Garcia was not in the United States legally. By his lawyer’s own admission, he entered the country illegally in 2011. Then, eight years later, Garcia was arrested at a Home Depot while illegally soliciting employment. The Prince George’s County Police Department then transferred him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which began deportation proceedings against him. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3381326/kilmar-abrego-garcia-issue-democrats/

She is a real piece of work. Taylor Lorenz's Crush on Luigi Mangione Is Sick The Luigi Mangione phenomenon is disgusting. He has many thousands of fans, most of them young women, who applaud his murder of Brian Thompson. A large amount of money has been raised for his defense, and his appearances in court are greeted by throngs of admirers. Mangione’s killing of Thompson is seen as a political murder, much like the assassination of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth, only in this case, the murder was committed to advance a cause that is popular on the Left–socialized medicine. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/2025/04/14/taylor_lorenzs_crush_on_luigi_mangione_is_sick_644787.html

Then write a book. @Neonred and @Ban Hammer have already suggested some great book titles!

Voice of reason. ‘If we stopped using fossil fuels today, billions would die’ Lomborg: Fundamentally, if you’re speaking about Net Zero, you very easily end up with a renewables-only approach. Solar and wind are the favourite policies at the moment. The problem is, of course, that you can’t run an economy on something that only works sometimes. Wind and solar are great when the Sun is shining and the wind is blowing, but at other times the cost is tremendous. Most countries have storage capacity for 10 or 20 minutes of renewable power. But you need capacity for two or three months. The more wind and solar you have, the higher the cost of energy. No country on Earth has lots of solar and wind and cheap energy. That’s why heavy industry has left Germany, because businesses can’t afford the cost of solar and wind. Instead, they move to the US or China, where energy is cheap. https://www.spiked-online.com/2025/04/14/if-we-stopped-using-fossil-fuels-today-billions-would-die/

Totally normal. I would suggest making a few copies of the extension letter, as the original needs to be treated like a passport/GC. Good Luck!
