You have to make sure that the civil surgeon you visit is willing to recertify the vaccine portion only instead of giving you an entirely new medical. You would need to bring ID, all proof of vaccines you've received, the DS3025, and the filled out I693 (required portions only). Follow the I693 instructions carefully. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf

I've never celebrated or experienced Halloween because well, my parents are weird, and by the time I reached adulthood it seemed no point left for me. That being said the street really did great this year in putting those giant Home Depot skeletons and their smaller counterparts in all sorts of crazy displays and poses. No one really ever bothers to come by of course because the lights are off, but judging by the tons of kids participating in the trunk o' treats this year, it didn't sound like there were many kids out on the street at all. The stores seemed to move on from Halloween to Christmas weeks ago... my husband already purchased the lights he needs for the display this year.

He's very broad shouldered with a thick neck and long arms, so the standard shirts end up looking a mess. If you want a shirt to fit the neck (barely) it ends up being too baggy on him and he refuses to wear a collar extender. When I did the custom order with Indochino they even got back to me twice to confirm the measurements were right as if he's some kind of freak. Oh the underwear sizes LOL. Yeah same problem, and that extends into stuff like base layers and running gear. Hard to find him the right fit. Amazon also has issues especially when a lot of these sizes are set to Chinese standard. You usually have to measure carefully and size up even if the size sounds ridiculous.

My husband has two. His wedding suit and his interview suit. Every time I need to find him something new I end up tailoring it. Even his dress shirts need custom fit. For our wedding we didn't have enough time to get a local tailor on short notice, so I used Indochino for his shirt. Fast service and the quality was decent even if I had some reservations about where it was coming from. Compare that to my dad's shirt/suit from Men's Warehouse that.... grrr still so mad about that. I agree thrift stores have some real gems in them. There is something to be said of a man in a well-crafted bespoke suit, but the price is not something people will jump at as worth it. I think overall there is a lack of a need for suits. People may not be able to afford functions where such attire is requested.

Well as usual with articles from this site, the people that write them are generally insufferable, but I gave it a try, and immediately found someone complaining with no central thesis. His first complaint is that he ordered a beret (of all weird things to order) from Amazon. That is an odd one to me, but whatever he wants to do with his fashion choices. Of course he hates the choice he made. And if he made the choice he needs to take responsibility for it. Obviously he did not look for American made or good imports which I could find within minutes of searching on Amazon, or looking at google, and opted for cheap China-wear. Even if he wanted something very upper crust indeed, he could find hundreds of other options online - from small shops to incredible authentic imports. His next complaint is a lack of menswear locations. Now this can be an issue in certain small towns - I used to go with my dad to the big menswear chain and that was a soul-crushing experience akin to buying a car. Still he does mention his town, and a quick google shows that his claim is untrue. There are indeed plenty of small menswear stores that I'm sure could give him the attention and detail he wants. He does live in NJ which is not far from NY, but that doesn't really matter because men in those locations generally need a good suit for some of their jobs, and there is plenty of businesses that provide it. He is either dishonest for the sake of his article or doesn't know how to google very well. But even some chain departments like Macys or other local businesses (which is barely a drive at all for him according to the map) actually have an alteration department and very decent suits. Some professions have moved past the Mad-Men era, and one does not need to wear a full suit to a job to "look professional". Of course my husband's dad always looks bespoke even on a casual day, and my husband has always tried to dress appropriately for work, but perhaps the author doesn't realize times have actually changed. Working men can actually dress for work without needing expensive luxury menswear. Those that must wear uniforms or have labor-intensive work certainly have no need for it. Certainly I sympathize with the author somewhat - when I see a well-dressed woman and her slobby man and vice versa it merely annoys me that both individuals are having a fashion emergency and a lack of self-care. There are countless times I see people in PJs, crocs, unwashed socks with slides, slippers/house shoes but not in a working environment thankfully. How a person dresses does not bother me too much at the end of the day vs their attitude during work. A good partner in one's life will hopefully ensure they do not make a fashion mistake (wrong tie, stains/wrinkles, mismatched socks or shoes) before leaving the house every day, but ultimately that is not needed if the individual cares about themselves.

I don't think such a letter is necessary. We viewed the application as very impersonal - can you answer yes to all the important yes questions and no to all the important no questions and do you meet all the qualifications? Can you give them the tax info and other documents as required? If yes, then anything more is not needed. I think the large beauty of it is that becoming an American can feel nice, but at the same time rather ordinary. You don't have to explain your whys of wanting to become naturalized.

As long as you are aware and understand the cons of the K1 and are prepared for that... Our K1 evidence was pretty much the same as guides here explain one should offer. Front loaded? Well yes we did, but not to the point of going overboard (for instance I don't believe we put in years worth of chat convos or emails or handwritten letters). It's good to have quality over quantity evidence. We had a very long relationship by that point, with a lot of visits over the years, and wanted to establish how strong that was. I couldn't tell you how many pages, iirc it was fairly thick, but we thought it important to be well organized for them. There were no RFEs and no issues at the interview. London did not ask for proof of all that, but you do need to give them what they ask for.

Oh my husband won't ever forget it that's for sure. 😆

I can confirm that back in the day they certainly would do those sorts of checks. Thankfully not any more.

Oh my god. Don't do drugs kids. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/alaska-airlines-pilot-arrest-joseph-emerson-psychedelic-mushrooms/283-5d9c6df6-09c1-4f99-899b-825c3d072312

Hey NB! 🌹 It has been a long time, hope all is well with you too! I'm doing okay. Hubby just got his citizenship last week, it's so amazing to never have to worry about this stuff ever again.

Well he sounds nice. I hope he goes away for a long long time.

Officers at the ceremony were talking about this. Overheard it started yesterday immediately in fact. Had quite a few Israelis and those from middle eastern countries in the room. All were so happy and engaged with each other, as unified new Americans.

At this point I'm not even sure who is scamming whom.

Good grief! Has the girlfriend met the wife? You know way back in the day, my husband came to see me and had I dunno... something like $200 in his pocket and was going to stay with me. Now the officer did admonish him for having such a "low" amount, but at the time my husband explained that he was a student, that I/family would be paying for his stay, and that he had a bank account with plenty of money in it. Of course they did grill him, as it was his first trip here, but for every probing question asked my husband had a truthful and correct answer. Not sure what happened here, but I hope the wife knows what her husband is up to. Also the comments on this facebook post are.....uuumm... I started yelling at the screen and had to close the window.

OP: If you get vaccines done by your GP before you have the interview, please make sure that you bring proof of doing so with you to the US. If there are more vaccines in your series to get, ensure you have proof of that too. If you wait to receive vaccines in the US, you will need proof as well. You will need to go to a US Civil Surgeon (not just any doctor) that is willing (and not all are willing) do certify the vaccine portion of the form. All in all, it is prudent, less costly, and less of a hassle to have all vaccines before your medical, during medical, or before interview. If not, that's certainly fine - BUT you will need to be on top of this before your AOS, and it certainly will be very costly in the US.

Online was about the easiest thing we've ever done for this entire journey. I wish all the forms could be this way!

Apply for SSN as soon as possible. Marry as soon as possible. Add new spouse to your plan, or purchase a plan that works for you and your spouse. When the spouse is finally able to work they may be able to obtain their own coverage.

My husband had his Naturalization interview last week. Ironically the day after Kevin McCarthy got tossed out of speakership, so we wondered how that question could be answered correctly if it came up. It was quite a long trip for us, as we were on vacation in another state and I wasn't sure if I would be allowed in with him so he went in by himself. He arrived 20 minutes before his appointment. It wasn't too busy. There was TSA style security first, and then waiting for his appointment was about 45 minutes. You are given a number which is supposed to show up on the screen. His number took about 20 minutes to appear on the screen, so if your number doesn't appear immediately don't worry. His interview was about 10 minutes in length. The officer was very polite and no-nonsense. He asked for his NOA and asked for his US ID and his green card. My husband was very nervous and accidently handed him his UK driving license instead of his US one without realizing it. The officer was confused by this, but eventually that got cleared up, and had a laugh. He asked to confirm personal details and a few of the N400 questions. Keep in mind we had been initially nervous about tax questions, since we were unable to obtain every single tax transcript from the IRS (the IRS won't give them to you after a certain date), but were able to give them tax forms. But the officer did not want to see any of it. So I'd say as long as you have some sort of a combination of transcripts and forms this is not really an issue. He asked the six questions: 1) What is the economic system in the United States? 2) In what month do we vote for President? 3) What is the name of the Vice President? 4) Who is the Commander in Chief of the military? 5) What is one responsibility that is only for US citizens? 6) Who was President during the Great Depression and WW II? (hilariously the question that would trip him up the most) The reading was: When is Columbus Day? The writing was: Columbus Day is in October. He was informed that he had passed the test and that he needed to confirm the information that was going to be on his naturalization certificate. After showing him the Oath, my husband requested a modified oath, which was granted. He was then informed that he would be notified by mail that his oath ceremony would be scheduled. Later in the day the website updated to reflect his Oath ceremony would be scheduled, and the next morning his Oath appointment letter was uploaded. The ceremony is next week. All in all this has been a shockingly fast and easy process. Afterwards, since we were all dressed up we went on a nice date in the city before making the long trek back to our hotel. I hope this review helps others as to what to expect for Baltimore. It's a nice big facility that is not in the best area these days unfortunately. All in all the end of the journey has been the most simple experience. Thank you to all the guys and gals on VJ that has helped us through this whole process over many years.

Whelp, this one is a doozy of an indictment. That's a lot of cash and gold bars laying around your house for the feds to find. Seems he was also selling secrets to the Egyptians. You can read the indictment here. It is INSANE. You could make a movie about this: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/robert-menendez-indictment-document/e9ff4e956cb8dfc9/full.pdf There is a passage that caught my eye: "Third, MENENDEZ promised to and did use his influence and power and breach his official duty to recommend that the President nominate an individual as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey who MENENDEZ believed could be influenced by MENENDEZ {....}" Was the President interviewed? What did the President know and when did he know it?

Rachel Morin told her boyfriend that she was going for a run on a popular trail in the small town of Bel Air, Maryland. When she did not return, her boyfriend contacted police. The police said they had looked through the trail and could not find her, so it was initially thought of as perhaps a kidnapping. What was concerning to me is that they allowed the public to come to the trail and search, potentially contaminating the scene. We go to the trails and woodlands in the Bel Air area a lot, and after a few very frightening incidents, our list is growing smaller unfortunately and now we do not go walking/hiking without some sort of weapon. There were reasons to be suspicious of the boyfriend. He has a past criminal history, it was a very recent relationship. There were a few other suspects too - a creepy man was seen stalking women where she worked. There is also a homeless camp at the end of this particular trail. None of these panned out. Rachel was easily found by members of the public search party, within 24hrs of her going missing on the trail in a small tunnel, that is not very well-lit, but certainly open enough I have no idea why the police could not find her initially. While the police haven't mentioned the particulars of the case, it is said to be a brutal murder and rape. This is usually a busy trail, and no one questioned is said to have seen or heard anything. A few days later a creepy man claiming to have found her, was interviewed by the news and gave many horrific but confusing details to the press. Some of these 'details' continue to be falsely written today. They did not verify his story, and ultimately the police said this man was not only a grifter but he was lying for 'fame'. Rachel's family has tried very hard to enlist the public and media's help to find her killer. They have funds set up for her children. Have asked profilers to assist, and have had many charity events and held public pleas for help. The trail is now basically a memorial, and many from the town no longer feel safe walking. Some time later the police held a conference to announce that through DNA evidence, Rachel's killer was involved in a crime LA last year. We know little about the case as it involved the rape of a minor. But there was video of the suspect from behind - he appears to be Hispanic with some distinguishing features. As the weeks have gone on, it is possible the FBI has found links to another case in Chicago - and it is for this reason the police believe the suspect to be a serial killer or serial rapist. Rachel Morin left behind five children and a family that is desperate. Her killer is traveling and could be anywhere. Here are links to the case with videos of the suspect from the LA incident. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/09/11/rachel-morin-case-updates-criminal-profiler/70825144007/ https://www.fox5dc.com/news/rachel-morin-murder-maryland-sheriff-says-suspect-on-the-loose-could-strike-again https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/criminal-justice/rachel-morin-memorial-walk-bel-air-PYYWZG7PPJFDJMJKMTNFRGPCJI/ https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/harford-county/detectives-pursue-leads-in-la-chicago-in-rachel-morin-murder-investigation-7Y7VTH4OEVE6XEARKOYSIK47XM/ https://www.gofundme.com/f/rachel-morin-funeral-and-memorial-fund

There's a couple reasons why I'm sharing this story. You see, I've been down the rabbit hole these past few weeks, when a relative received a mysterious package they didn't order in the mail. Inside were very expired, very tampered looking COVID test kits. I was very alarmed, so me and a few tech buddies got together and did some digging as to just who these scumbags were. Turns out the feds have been working cases like this for a while now. It's not always immediately noticeable to an individual that has Medicare if they have been/their plan has been charged for fraudulent devices. I immediately set to work tracing back months of Medicare billing to see if I could find the fraudulent charges. Not so, because a lot of EOBs and lists of charges are usually running several months behind. A call over to the OIG and federal Medicare fraud investigators, and they could see the charges from back in May, the exact timeframe when many of these packages started showing up over the US. They immediately flagged and created a case file, and unfortunately my relative's info has been compromised (the government is still investigating where and cannot comment yet) and they will have to issue them new cards/numbers. If you have any elderly relatives, or are a recipient of Medicare yourself be on the lookout for any unusual charges and or packages coming to your house. There are extensive news articles online addressing these instances from different states. I must stress in some cases many of these scams are using phishing or phone calls into tricking individuals into giving them their info - but this is a somewhat new tactic, the recipient of the fraudulent goods is unaware of anything coming to their home and never requested it.
