Just to clarify, once you get your spousal visa you will enter the US as a green card holder, there is no adjustment of status. Good Luck!

Certainly, but is the company willing to wait for 12-24 months for you to get your spousal visa before you start working, or will this be a remote job you can start while awaiting the process. Job offers for the immigrant spouse can help when someone comes over on a K1 and is awaiting employment authorization, but a job offer may not mean much in pushing your I130 along. All you can do is request one. The reason I ask if the company is willing to sponsor you is sometimes that is a faster route. Good Luck!

I would not expect a whole lot as the expedites only apply to the stage you are currently at. You said you are at the NVC stage, so maybe it will get the petition to the consulate faster, but then you will wait for an interview timeslot to become available. Good Luck!

You can always try. Is the company willing to sponsor you for a work visa?

Agencies are different. When my wife applied, the agency made a copy of her certificate, and a supervisor approved the copy and the certificate was returned to my wife. Good Luck!

Try searching AWA Waiver here on VJ as there are some stories (I attached a successful case). This is generally lawyer territory as it is my understanding that even expunged records show up on FBI checks. Good Luck!

Great to hear! Congratulations!

Yes, dealing with the immigration bureaucracy can be frustrating, but in the end it should all work out. Good Luck!

OK, so you filed taxes jointly with your spouse? This is probably what triggered the request for the I864A, so I guess you fill it out and show your income portion as zero right now. Good Luck!

OK, so the USC petitioner is the step-parent. I guess you need to fill out an I864A which doesn't make sense at all, and I have not heard about it being required, but I am not sure who else they would want an I864A from. Good Luck!

Been reading a bit about this new tactic by the worshippers of the church of climate change. It will be interesting to see how all this bureaucracy is ignored. I do love the headline writers from the Guardian and their progressive bias. Obviously it wasn't just the US arguing against this. Fury as US argues against climate obligations at top UN court Australia, China and Saudi Arabia – major fossil fuel economies and among the world’s worst greenhouse gas emitters – also argued against legal accountability that developing nations are pushing for. After years of campaigning by vulnerable nations and the global climate justice movement, the UN asked the ICJ to provide an advisory opinion on what obligations states have to tackle climate change and what the legal consequences could be if they fail to do so. More than 100 countries and organisations are testifying over the course of two weeks, and many hope the hearings will elevate science to the forefront, ensuring international law reflects the realities of climate breakdown and the urgent need for transformative action. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/dec/04/us-climate-crisis-legal-court

I agree, this sounds strange. Are there others living in the petitioner's household? I guess as the immigrating spouse, they are asking for an I864A from you?

That is always a tough question as the statistics are always so fluid. Most denials can often be overcome eventually, so is that counted as a denial, or as an issued visa. Add to this is the fact that the process bridges multiple government agencies, and each one could be the source of the denial i.e. was the I130 rejected by USCIS, was the case rejected at the NVC stage, or was the visa application denied by the DoS? I cannot find specific numbers, but I expect completes case with plenty of evidence would be a fairly low rejection rate. Good Luck!

Can you imagine if Old Corrupt Joe stayed in the race and potentially won? Scary.

Initial appearances seem to indicate anti-capitalist motives. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14174379/brian-thompson-unitedhealthcare-ceo-latest-hunt-pennsylvania.html

When did you file the package? The EAD/I765 can take some time to process, anywhere from 5-8 months. Good Luck!

Each petition is separate and are processed at their own pace. There are a lot of factors involved at the petition stage such as which service center gets the petition, need for a background check of the petitioner, and mundane items like a USCIS clerk being out or something like that. One thing with immigration is that patience is a virtue. Hopefully your petition will process soon. Good Luck!

May have been caught. Yes, not much of a pro. Suspect in Brian Thompson shooting detained with gun and manifesto at McDonald's in Altoona, PA: Live updates https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14174379/brian-thompson-unitedhealthcare-ceo-latest-hunt-pennsylvania.html

First or at the same time based on my readings. The only issue arises when the intending immigrant arrives first, I remember a story of a couple where they were both arriving on the same day, but on different flights and the immigrant spouse arrived first, it was a headache. I do believe there are exceptions for spouse of active duty military members or contractors on official orders.

Yes, take a completed I864 for you and also one if you are using a co-sponsor along with all the supporting evidence. Also, bring a copy of your BC and your parents marriage certificate. Basically bring all the information you submitted for your mother's petition. Good Luck!

Most airports have people that will help direct you to the proper line when you arrive. You as the USC can go with your spouse, to what I believe is the visitor line in order to activate her GC. It may take some time depending on the airport, so plan accordingly. Good Luck!

The jury came back pretty quickly. 11:31 Daniel Penny declared NOT GUILTY The jury quickly came back with an unanimous decision on the lesser count of negligent homicide.

Seems to go here as much of the "green" energy items use a lot of these materials. China Announces a Ban on Rare Minerals to the U.S. The ban signals Beijing’s willingness to engage in supply chain warfare by blocking the export of important components used to make valuable products, like weaponry and semiconductors. Sales of gallium, germanium, antimony and so-called superhard materials to the United States would be halted immediately on the grounds that they have dual military and civilian uses, China’s Ministry of Commerce said. The export of graphite would also be subject to stricter review. https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/government/china-announces-a-ban-on-rare-minerals-to-the-u-s/ar-AA1vbk7y

Hmm, I guess it is cheaper to shut off the turbines than to update the grid. Brits Pay Billions To Waste Wind Energy The UK paid £1.3 billion this year to compensate wind turbine operators for curtailment due to insufficient grid capacity. Addressing the curtailment problem would require a costly grid expansion, estimated at £40 billion annually. In the meantime, energy costs for British consumers are rising due to curtailment payments and reliance on expensive electricity imports during low-wind periods. https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/Brits-Pay-Billions-To-Waste-Wind-Energy.html
