I agree, but in the case of the thread I posted, apparently there was a separate I751 interview notice sent. In my wife’s case, no notice for the I751, but that was just at the time the I751 processing was slowing to a crawl, and N400/I751 combo filings were becoming more common. Good Luck! Btw, my wife took an international trip between her N499 interview and the oath ceremony, so as I stated before, I would plan your trip to attend the interview as scheduled and request a future oath date for after your return. At the oath, they will ask you disclose any new trips.

I think @appleblossom is saying is that the I130 petition for your mother with you being a potential derivative may not have much impact on a possible student visa application by you. More than likely you will age out of any F4 benefit, so you can attempt the student visa. Good Luck!

I agree, most at the SSA are useless. Even though a person waiting for AOS should be able to change their name based on marriage, it is usually best to wait for the EAD or GC before attempting to deal with the SSA. In my wife’s case we waited for her GC, and it was fairly easy.

I am not so worried about any repercussions other than if USCIS messes up. 99% of the time, no issue, but the 1% potentially have major issues.

Yes, many have a combo interview even without notice. My wife did, and here is a very recent thread of a combo filing not working out. If you do reschedule the interview that is fine, just make sure when the interview happens you take your spouse with you. Good Luck!

A lot of possible rocks in the path. Rescheduling the interview can be tricky as there are stories of USCIS messing up and denying an application based on missed interviews. That being said there are circumstances that necessitate rescheduling, however in your case it is not necessarily a must, but you can try. As to the oath, yes, if you have a same day oath, that opens another can of worms as to immediate international travel. You can get a passport pretty quickly (possibly same day) at a passport agency (I think Chicago has one), but getting an appointment can be difficult. If it were me, I would attend the interview, and if you pass, and they want to do a same day oath, I would explain the situation to the IO and respectfully request an oath ceremony for after your return to avoid the stress of trying to obtain a passport. Good Luck!

Yes, I would have her fill out the I864 as your co-sponsor. The I864a may work, but I think it would be less hassle for her to do the full I864. Good Luck!

Didn't George C. just help raise a huge amount of cash for the Biden/Harris campaign? You forgot the word "scripted" between "solo" and "press".

Kind of makes the crimes by the Catholic priests and Boy Scout leaders pale in comparison. Forbidden Fruit and the Classroom: The Huge American Sex-Abuse Scandal That Educators Scandalously Suppress Every day millions of parents put their children under the care of public school teachers, administrators, and support staff. Their trust, however, is frequently broken by predators in authority in what appears to be the largest ongoing sexual abuse scandal in our nation’s history. Given the roughly 50 million students in U.S. K-12 schools each year, the number of students who have been victims of sexual misconduct by school employees is probably in the millions each decade, according to multiple studies. Such numbers would far exceed the high-profile abuse scandals that rocked the Roman Catholic Church and the Boy Scouts of America. For a variety of reasons, ranging from embarrassment to eagerness to avoid liability, elected or appointed officials, along with unions or lobbying groups representing school employees, have fought to keep the truth hidden from the public. https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/07/10/forbidden_fruit_and_the_classroom_the_huge_american_sex-abuse_scandal_that_educators_scandalously_hush_up_1042969.html

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.
