Assuming domestic travel. Tickets need to be purchased in the name on her Russia passport even if she decided to change her family name after marriage. She will use her Russian passport to check in. My wife was in the same boat back when we were in between marriage and her GC from AOS. She should be fine, and once you get the NOA receipt from the I485 filing, make a few copies and keep those with her when she travels. Good Luck!

Quite a bit of hate and intolerance on the left. Certainly not much in the way of joy.

USCIS and US Department of State often does not make sense. There are many stories of families applying for B2 visas, and one or two being denied, but the others being approved at the same consulate. Who is to say why your friend's was different than yours as we know absolutely nothing about their case. Whatever, it seems clear now that you will eventually need a waiver, so I would focus on doing that with a lawyer or not as more than likely the consulate will ask for it.

So this was supposedly the context of the conversation between Biden and Obama. https://nypost.com/2024/10/17/us-news/biden-told-obama-shes-not-as-strong-as-me-and-ex-prez-agreed-thats-true-at-ethel-kennedy-funeral/

He didn't have a basement full of used tires yet..

Not every case is the same, and not every consulate officer handles cases the same way. It seems a waiver will be needed at some point, but at least for your case it appears to it will take some time before the consulate requests it. I know, frustrating, but it is what it is.

You should be fine, and it looks like you are prepared to show evidence of her need to return if asked. That being said CBP can always be a toss-up. Also since she is a minor, do you have a letter of permission from the other parent to take her out of Canada? I seem to remember CBP on both sides looking for that.

I tend to agree, the anger and the depression tends to be more on the extremist/Democrat Left.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Is that supposed to be a reference I should know?

Refused, does not mean Denied/Rejected. Refused only means that the consulate needs more time. They used to use the generic Administrative Processing all the time, but now they are saying Refused when a decision cannot be made at this time hence the 221g, and in this case a white one means they are still looking at your case. Since they kept your passport, that is positive, so just keep monitoring the CEAC website.

If you responded to the 221g appropriately, all you can do is wait and monitor the CEAC website. If the consulate needs more, they will ask for it. Good Luck!

My other question is relevant. What color was the 221g. The different colors are meaningful as to how the interview went. I don't know CASV. Also, if the stay was less than 180 days, no bar is in place, if over 180 days to 365 days, a 3 yr bar, and over 365 days a 10 yr. bar. You asked why the CO did not mention a waiver, if the overstay was less than 180 days, no waiver is needed, and if between 180 and 365 days, I suspect you have already been outside the US for more than 3 yrs, so a waiver would only be needed if over 365 day. https://www.path2usa.com/blog/all-about-221g/

How long was the overstay?

What color was the 221g? It does matter.

Vladimir already endorsed Kamala as she is much more predictable to do what is expected.

Saw this today. Not sure it applies if someone is not currently in the US. Good Luck! https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2024/10/17/biden-administration-giving-temporary-protected-status-to-lebanese-immigrants-israel-war-hezbollah/75716395007/

I need to limit my comments, but the picture kind of tells the entire story.

Interesting how out-of-touch these MSM types are. As long as it is not happening to them, why should people care. So caring and tolerant.

Wow, KK was sounding quite petulant last evening. Anyway. Kamala Harris’ electric school bus program is floundering, drawing comparison to ‘border czar’ work Many school districts have reported multiple problems with the safety and expense of the buses they’ve received, and these involve companies that have received hundreds of millions of dollars in grants and rebates through the EPA program Harris manages. These same companies have close ties to the Biden-Harris administration. Michael Chamberlain, director of the government watchdog nonprofit Protect the Public’s Trust, has a word to describe what administration critics consider wasteful climate-agenda programs, many of which have turned into green energy boondoggles. He calls them “greendoggles.” “This sort of thing is just emblematic of the entire way this green transition has been handled by the administration,” Chamberlain recently told Just the News. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/critics-say-kamala-harris-electric-school-bus-program-disastrous-her-work

Completely anecdotal, but I find more KK supporters depressed, and more Trump supporters happy. Heck, Democrats are even depressed when they are in power. Btw, is any ultra-left Democrat happy with KK? Democrats Have No Monopoly on “Joy” https://www.city-journal.org/article/democrats-have-no-monopoly-on-joy

Did KK actually answer one question? Any immigration question was answered with her contortionist attempt to tie it to the 'bipartisan (really a Democrat plan)' Make Illegal Immigration OK bill that Trump supposedly torpedoed. Of course Brett correctly pointed out that the opposition to that bill was also bipartisan. Regardless, her sycophants in the MSM will applaud her for going on far right Fox News all while ignoring how Trump never shies from an interview at least until they screw him like Leslie Stahl and 60 minutes (I see others are doing their own recording of any 60 minutes interviews which makes absolute sense). Obama seemed to be scolding Old Corrupt Petulant Joe yesterday and my guess it is how he is at times, upstaging KK.

Educated Democrat?

It doesn't sound like you need another lawyer as even with a lawyer, one should become an expert of the process. As to a refund, that is hard to say. If you can show clear malpractice, you could sure for a refund, but that may be more costly than what it is worth. As to the EAD, if you have a job offer already, I would pursue getting a replacement card (I assume a new I765 filing), if not, I would probably save my money and wait for the GC. Good Luck!

I agree, time to jettison this lawyer, and make sure all communications come directly to you. Good Luck!

Putting this here since it is a direct result of the actions or inactions of our border tsar. I do wonder how this group will fare in Texas.
