I see Korea now has an optional ETA if entering on a US passport. I have not been there since 2019, so this is new for me. I was wondering if anyone thought it was worth getting the ETA? Does it help with getting through passport control faster?

I would not worry about texts and affidavits for filing the I130. You can bring those to the interview in case the CO asks you to provide more evidence. I should note though that it wouldn't hurt to include them with the filing, and make sure the affidavits are notarized. Good Luck!

Overall in this case Disney has a point that the restaurant is not their operation (not sure about licensing etc.), and it appears to be a reach for deep pockets. But this case does uncover that fine print that says anyone wishing to sue Disney for something that may be directly tied to them (getting injured on a park ride, etc.) cannot go after them as they accepted some set of terms saying so. I do wonder how many other companies have that clause in their terms.

In the end it is really up to you and your wife. Immigration is difficult, and separations oftentimes are unavoidable when a goal is decided. If you live in a border region you may be able to blunt some of that, but it is really dependent on your priorities. If no separation is desired, it looks like the only option is to wait out the bar and then see if you can get a similar offer in 8-9 years. If you are willing to deal with some separation (dependent on your specific situation), you could get the employment GC now, file for your spouse as an F2A and potentially get her here in 5-6 years. Overall, there is not much difference in the timing. Good Luck!

What does your company lawyer say?

Kind of makes you think when accepting all the terms in the fine print when signing up for something. Note: if the moderators think this belongs in CEHST, feel free to move it. Disney Responds to Wrongful Death Lawsuit Fury—'Merely Defending Ourselves' According to the lawsuit, physician Tangsuan informed the waiter serving her, Piccolo, and her mother-in-law that she was severely allergic to nuts and dairy, and sought confirmation that a range of items from the menu were free of allergens. Per the suit, despite assurances that the food ordered was allergen-free, Tangsuan experienced a severe allergic reaction to the food and later died. Months after the lawsuit was filed, Disney recently claimed that it should be removed from the court because Piccolo agreed to arbitration of all disputes with Disney when he signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service in 2019. Disney states in court documents that Disney+ terms and conditions say all disputes must go to binding, third-party arbitration and not to court. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/disney-responds-to-wrongful-death-lawsuit-fury-merely-defending-ourselves/ar-AA1oQ8Ol

You may want to include a couple of affidavits from neighbors attesting to you mother living with you. I assume you are filling out an I864 as a co-sponsor or I864A as a household member. Good Luck!

What is the over/under on Merchan sentencing Trump to prison? That definitely could happen if the Democrats see it as a political advantage.

This could be bad. Every American's Social Security number, address may have been stolen in hack After a group of hackers claimed to have stolen personal information several months ago from a data broker, a member of the group reportedly shared most of the sensitive data on an online forum for stolen data. The data includes 2.7 billion records of personal information from Americans including their Social Security numbers and physical addresses, Engadget reported, citing Bleeping Computer. Who is behind the data theft? A hacking group called USDoD claimed in April to have stolen personal records from National Public Data in a massive data breach. The NPD is a platform that offers personal information to employers, private investigators, staffing agencies and others doing background checks, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing a class-action lawsuit filed in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. https://www.yahoo.com/news/every-americans-social-security-number-163724751.html

Since KK is adopting the Maga agenda, can we call her Kamaga now?

It loosely falls under that category. As a couple after marriage, it benefits you the USC if your spouse is able to work, and having a job waiting may help in expediting an EAD.

Follow your plan as laid out right now. Have his employer provide a letter or something similar showing he has a job waiting for him, and file the AOS/EAD package ASAP as soon as you have the marriage certificate in hand (you can start getting the forms filled out now). Then request an expedite for the EAD after you get the receipt NOA. You can also contact your House member or Senator to help push the EAD expedite. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/expedite-requests

I vote do the Utah Zoom marriage given your situation. You should have no issues with USCIS as long as you document you are together during the ceremony. Good Luck!

Seems regressive. Documents Reveal How George Soros Controls Prosecutors The Media Research Center obtained nearly 8,000 pages of internal documents through public records laws that show how a Soros-funded group called Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) “directed Soros prosecutors to manipulate the rule of law concerning illegal immigration, drugs, abortion, election integrity, capital punishment and laws against childhood sex changes.” MRC’s yearlong investigation suggests that Soros maintained influence over his chosen candidates after their elections were over. FJP had the Soros-backed attorneys sign 33 pledges to not enforce certain laws — including election integrity measures and immigration laws — and attend more than 50 meetings or “convenings,” some of which were “mandatory.” FJP pressed prosecutors to let criminals off the hook if they are black, having them pledge to “reduc[e] racial disparities in case outcomes by at least 20%.” https://www.dailywire.com/news/documents-reveal-how-george-soros-controls-prosecutors

Yep, I am not really sure Musk is worried as the reports of the demise of X by the Democrats and their MSM activists seem premature.

You speak for all Democrats?

Sounds like a standard message for any IR visa application. I would not worry about it. Good Luck!

Here is the applicable guide. You will need a set of forms for each individual adjusting status assuming the children were under 18 when you got married. Sorry, I didn't see you already stated the children are under 18. Good Luck!

I agree with the others, do the Utah Zoom marriage, and since you are already together physically, as soon as you get the marriage certificate, which I understand is very quick, pursue the DCF. Here is a recent thread of someone doing DCF through Frankfurt that may be of help. You may find others by searching "DCF Frankfurt" in the VJ search engine. Good Luck!

Unless you answer yes to any of the following questions (below), I would not mention them on the form, but be prepared to address them if the IO asks about them. Keep in mind, the IO will review the complete N400 form with you at the interview, and you will be able to correct any mistakes that may have been made. Documentation of traffic incidents only if the incident: 1. Involved alcohol or drugs; 2. Led to an arrest; or 3. Seriously injured another person https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf

After the I130 is approved, it moves to NVC where you as the USC will be asked to upload documents and the I864 before NVC routes it to the proper consulate. An I130 petition can sit at NVC indefinitely waiting for the USC to upload the documents as long as you access the case at least once in 12 months. This is very common for couples that have multiple I130s in place for say a spouse and multiple children. The I130s may not all proceed at the same pace, so when the first I130 hits NVC, you can let it sit until the others catch up so they can be combined at the consulate phase. Alternatively, if you think you as the USC will see an immediate repatriation in the future, you may want to hold off on the I130 filing. If you needed to relocate quickly for work, or other reasons, you may be able to file the I130 directly with the consulate (DCF). If you already submit an I130 with USCIS, the DCF possibility is no longer an option.
