Power corrupts.... Particularly if one has a "D" next to their name.

Dr. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is a truly horrible person. Jill Biden apparently has her own ‘Hail to the Chief’-style entrance theme, courtesy of the Marine Corps band The Marine Corps band was instructed last fall to come up with an entrance theme for the first lady, a source told the Washington Examiner. The band now has in its repertoire an original composition titled “Fanfare for the First Lady.” The song, the source said, is essentially Jill Biden’s personal “Hail to the Chief,” in that it is to be performed and repeated at official White House functions, from her first appearance until she is ready to speak. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/2126277/jill-biden-apparently-has-her-own-hail-to-the-chief-style-entrance-theme-courtesy-of-the-marine-corps-band/

It sounds like he filed taxes as married (as it would not be correct for him to file as single if he is legally married). Now he could have chosen to file Married Jointly or Separately, but I assume jointly as that would reduce your overall tax burden. Assuming you are in a solid marriage and you are only outside the US temporarily, there is no reason why he would have left you off tax filing in my opinion.

It is hard to say particularly with the F3 category. Many months go by with no changes in the dates on the bulletin, and then it may progress, or regress. Good Luck!

Hmm, who could have predicted the unintended consequences of the regressive Democrats/left? I do wonder who the “experts” are the story references. Fast food workers are getting a taste of what higher minimum wages REALLY mean - and it's not good https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-13619877/fast-food-minimum-wage-money.html

So the NYTimes is now calling Biden the liar and actually telling the truth about Trump. Is the sky falling, or are they just following the anti-Biden Democrat camp? Maybe there will be a Wilson Project PAC formed soon. The Times Turns on a Dime But it is Biden’s invocation of a classic anti-Trump meme that incurs the most surreal of all Times responses. Biden had said during the Stephanopoulos interview: “This is a guy who told us to put bleach in our arms to deal with Covid, with a million—over a million people died.” The Times is withering. Exaggerated! it proclaims. Trump did not “instruct people to inject bleach but suggested that doing so with a disinfectant was an ‘interesting’ concept to test out.” The Times notes the context for Trump’s alleged bleach-injection instruction: in April 2020, a member of the federal coronavirus task force had reported on ongoing experiments regarding the use of light and disinfectants to kill the virus. Trump then speculated, as the paper reports: Mr. Trump responded: “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.” The Times’s current distinction between suggesting that a concept be tested and suggesting that a concept be implemented was missing in its contemporaneous coverage in 2020. The paper ran thousands of words implying that Trump had likely triggered a public health emergency of MAGA bleach drinkers. Reporter Matt Flegenheimer, then on the Covid hysteria beat, reported that Trump had “suggested that injections of disinfectants into the human body could help combat the coronavirus.” Such a suggestion “did not sound like the work of a doctor, a genius, or a person with a good you-know-what,” sneered Flegenheimer, throwing a loose version of Trump’s comments about himself back at him. https://www.city-journal.org/article/the-new-york-times-fact-checks-biden

Yes, if you are pursuing a K1, use the DS160 and I134. Good Luck!

Even pre-contacting CBP will not make anything 100% as there is no guarantee you will talk to the CBP officer that will inspect you when you re-enter. The CBP carrier guide clearly states what is acceptable to enter the US, and the expired GC and valid extension letter is on that list (I would make a copy of the extension letter as sometimes airline employees are unfamiliar with it and ask to keep a copy, also take the CBP carrier guide). The worst I see happening is getting sent to secondary, but you are an LPR and your documents (proof of that status) are in order with the new I751 filing. All that being said, I am always in favor of keeping my wife happy, so you can contact CBP before leaving if it makes her happy. It may or may not raise any alerts, but in the end you are a legal resident. Good Luck! https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

I meant to say the GOP members in DC are only slightly less worse than the Dems.

I agree, I vote policy over personality in general. I have voted Democrat and 3rd Party in the past, but recently, I tend to vote Republican as even though the GOP members in DC are only slightly worse than the Democrats, the Democrat policies regarding runaway spending, the nanny state growth (socialism), and particularly identity politics have turned me off. I still remember the Thatcher quote "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money".

I agree with @Crazy Cat, there is no need to do any pre-discussion with CBP, and an ADIT stamp is unnecessary at this time. Good Luck!

Here is the guide for a spousal visa. You can help with getting the petition (I130) started, but it is the USC spouse that has to file it. Good Luck!

Back when Kackling was running, and she called Old Corrupt Joe a racist on the debate stage, she was touted the next day by the MSM, via their distributed talking points, as the rising star of the Democrat Party. Of course we know what happened, the racist in the Democrat electorate did not like her and she dropped out before the first 2020 contest. Then Clyburn forced her on Old Corrupt Joe as the world's worst DEI hire. She epitomizes "Didn't Earn It".

I really don't understand the reference. This was all Nixon's fault? Hasn't Nixon been dead for years? I guess I will chalk it up to DEI Democrats.

I agree, you want to wait for your I485 acceptance NOA as sometimes CBP officers hangout at TSA checkpoints. Good Luck! As an aside, CA to MI is not very far to drive . My wife and I did it a couple of times, and I70 through UT and CO is a beautiful drive (of course it gets a little boring through Eastern CO, KS, MO, and IL).

See below. The same theory applies.

Wait, I thought only Trump lied. Are you telling me the lead Democrat is also a prolific liar?

Yes, send the I134 along with the supporting evidence to your fiancé so they can take it to the interview. Good Luck!

A couple of items. You should be fine with domestic flights, but avoid any flights that could be diverted to an international airport (generally not an issue unless going to Hawaii, Guam, or maybe the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico). As already stated, book tickets in the name on the passport as you will need to use your passport as ID to go through TSA. Lastly, take your I485 acceptance NOA, and the EAD approval NOA with you as sometimes CBP officers hang around TSA checkpoints. Good Luck!

So we now have Orange Trump and Pumpkin Biden. Joe Biden's 'Spray Tan' Sparks Avalanche of Memes, Jokes https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-spray-tan-sparks-avalanche-memes-jokes-1919980

This is how progressive tax brackets work. Those that pay the most taxes will get the biggest breaks when taxes are cut. How do you propose that is changed? Even if you propose a tax cut for only the 3 or 4 lowest tax quintiles, the rich folks will still get a break as their income is not taxed in its entirety at the highest rate. Then of course there are corporate taxes which Democrats love to tout, and which do nothing other than to raise prices and discourage business development. Corporate taxes are like tariffs, raise them and prices go up. It seems you are more in the camp that all money belongs to the government, and that the government can take from the rich and give to the poor (please correct me if I am wrong). If that is the case, this never works as the money will still flow to the successful eventually.

As to which line to get into, there are usually liaison officers at CBP that can help you determine which line to get into. Processing times for people entering with immigration visas vary widely, so it is hard to predict (i.e. if you are connecting at Boston, you want to give yourself plenty of time). As to the mechanics of what happens, I am not to familiar with as my now wife entered on a K1, and that did not take a lot of time in Detroit. In the end, when the CBP officer endorses your passport, you are officially an LPR. Good Luck!

Get legally married, file an I130, and when that petition nears or reaches the NVC stage, you can start planning on your own plan to re-establish domicile back in the US as the consulate will require that when the interview comes around. You can stay with your spouse through most of the process in Spain except for maybe a few trips back to get your future domicile in order. You should also make sure all your US taxes are in order, etc. Good Luck!

I agree, but maybe he and his corrupt family can be bought off although it may take 9 figures. What is interesting is how disciplined Trump has been through all this. It is a good idea to allow the Democrats to carry the news cycle with their Biden/Harris debacle, and there is not much else out there to push this problem to back burner. As an aside, has anyone noticed how orange Joe Biden is looking these days?

Remember that Democrats think their voters/supporters are stupid.
