Here is a thread that may be helpful. One poster said contacting their Congressional representative helped. Good Luck!

Keep in mind an "original BC" really means a certified copy from the government agency that holds that record. If you can order a certified copy online that is an option. Good Luck!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

Congratulations!

I will drop this here. Karma? https://x.com/i/trending/1878167963716436150 DETAINED IN PUBLIC Ex-Labour MP arrested ‘after trying to meet boy, 15, in video live-streamed on Facebook’ as cops raid his home https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/32746797/former-labour-mp-arrested/

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.

I was scratching my head as well. Before the document was removed, it appears it is Algeria or South Africa or some combo of nationality and interviewing country. To the OP, it appears it was a white 221G which means Administrative Processing. No one can predict how long it will take, but until it is completed and decision is made by the consulate your status will most likely change between Administrative Processing and Refused (does not mean rejected or denied). Good Luck!

Government waste at its best. Snail Darter RIP: The Species that Shut Down the Tellico Dam May Not Actually Exist Dr. Zygmunt Plater, an environmental law professor at Boston College, represented the snail darter before the Supreme Court. He did an excellent job and, in 1978, the Supreme Court ruled that “the Endangered Species Act prohibits impoundment of the Little Tennessee River by the Tellico Dam” to protect the endangered snail darters. That was then. The Times now quotes Thomas Near, the curator of ichthyology at the Yale Peabody Museum who leads a fish biology lab at the university, that “there is, technically, no snail darter.” Worse yet, it was actually just another member of the eastern population of Percina uranidea, or stargazing darters, which is not considered endangered. Near and his colleagues have published the results in Current Biology In other words, years of litigation and millions of dollars were spent on what was a false claim, and the courts accepted the claims hook, line, and sinker. https://jonathanturley.org/2025/01/09/snail-darter-rip-the-species-that-shut-down-the-tellico-dam-may-not-actually-exist/

Heck, CA is emitting oodles of CO2 right now due to their atrocious wildland management strategies.

Yes, this is fairly common with the SSA when it comes to handling AOSing immigrants (my wife had the same issue). You can use your current SSN when filing the I485 since you will show your maiden name as an other name used, and once you get the GC, you can re-visit changing your SSA record. You will be fine with stuff as is for now, then correct things once the GC is issued in the married name (fill out the I485 package with your married name so the GC will have the married name). Good Luck!

I agree with @EmilyW, this sounds very much like a scam. You have time, establish and stabilize your financial situation, work with your friends and close acquaintances and see where things end up. Good Luck!

November is only a few months ago. Is the intending immigrant Canadian, or from another country? What color was the 221G that you received (color is important)?

What phase are you currently at (filing I130, NVC, Consulate)?

This.

Was the criminal record disclosed on the application/DS160 5 yrs ago?

As of 2023, about 720M males per about 689M females (they don’t count those that identify as other genders), so a ratio of a little more than 104 males per 100 females, or another way to look at it, 51.1% males, and 48.9% females which does not seem like much, but with such a large population, it ends up being huge. The bigger question is how is China’s median age trending, and I believe it is heading higher. https://www.statista.com/statistics/251129/population-in-china-by-gender/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_China

Who would have thought Fetterman would become the Democrat with actual common sense.

The point was he was arrested in the first place. Wokeism DEI is pretty bad here in the U.S., seems worse in places like the UK and Canada. i do love Scot Squad.
