his fault being lying to an immigration officer in the process of obtaining citizenship.

Lying to a Federal Official is a criminal offense in the USA. Making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001) is the common name for the United States federal crime laid out in Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United States Code, which generally prohibits lying to or concealing (information) from a federal official by oral affirmation, written statement or mere denial.

I doubt a lawyer can straighten that out.

It is confirmed here on the London Embassy web site

Look under Validity Period of the Visa

Am i missing something there? You just posted a link about Tuberculosis screening when referring to how long a visa is valid.

The TB x-ray at the medical is now valid for six months and the visa when issued is valid from the date of the medical, or to be precise the TB screening. But as London do the x-ray screening and medical at the same time and most people think of the screening as part of the medical, it is more understandable to say from the date of the medical. The link I posted showed London adopted those Technical Regulations on April 1st this year.

Prior to that London used by the 1991 Technical Regulations which had the effect of making the visa valid for 6 months from date of issue.

So all anyone applying in London has to remember is the visa is now valid for 6 months from the date of the medical

The visa is also valid for 6 months after you receive it,

That is no longer the case. The London Embassy adopted new rules on April 1st this year. The visa is now valid for 6 months from the date of the medical.

The UK isn't a country it is a collection of countries. So to say you come from the UK is a bit like saying you come from the EU if you live in France. Not quite the same but I think it gives the gist of why I prefer to say I come from England rather than the UK.

I got my interview notice today. One of the document they asked is IRS Form 1722, is IRS Form 1722 is the same as the Tax Return Transcript?

Thanks!

Yes they are asking for the tax return transcripts

I have no idea if the Lockbox option is quicker

There are people who filed their I-130 in the US 7 months ago still waiting for approval. DCF in London for the I-130 is quicker, if you qualify to so file.

Hey guys I'm a newbie here and I'm hoping to get some insight about my citizenship. Here's my simple but need to be right question. I went to calculate my early filing for my citizenship papers and it said that March 15 is my early filing date. Does it mean that my papers needs to be at the office by the 15 or I need to send my papers on the 15? Thank you!

Do not post it before the 15th, if that date is 90 days before the three or five years, whichever way you qualify. If it is post marked before the 90th day I have known them to be sent back, as the person applied to early.

You will need to speak to a person because first you will need to explain why you want the code. It isn't something given out just for the asking.

It says type using capital letters, that is what you should do.

I have been told by someone - that used this forum - that after the CR1/IR1 is issued you have 90 days to leave for the US?

Is this still true, because I have just read in the "Guides" that you have 6 months i.e closer to 180 days?

You have 6 months from the date the visa is issued to arrive in the USA.

Good luck, not that you will need it, it will be plain sailing. Can still remember my visa interview 5 years ago now, memorable for what an anticlimax it was.

You tell the truth. The answer to the first question, they will be able to see what the CBP officer entered on the system. So you were denied because of suspected immigrant intent. The second question you met online. They will have heard that many times before. Do not try and put a spin on it. They have heard it all and can spot a fabrication coming before you have even said it.

Do you have a copy of the form.

My guess would be 1) you accidentally put a tick in the wrong box or 2) you haven't put a tick in a box or 3) it isn't clear which box a tick is meant to be in.

You are living outside the US, so you will not be able to gain citizenship until you return and complete the required period of residency. Likewise moving to Canada to study could well mean you are no longer considered a LPR. Just coming back once every 6 months is a myth and in itself will not keep your status. However a CBP officer cannot deny you entry into the US, or revoke your status, but could require you to go before an immigration judge for a determination. A quick one time consultation with a lawyer experience in abandonment cases might well prove useful.

The only answer to give is the actual reason why he is filing at this time. Never give a made up answer to any of these questions, it has a horrible habit of coming back to haunt you at a later date.

As said Fox Soccer Channel

Fox Soccer Plus

ESPN

Between those they carry just about every EPL game, some English Championship games and German and Italian league games as well.

It's why I hardly bother much with VJ these days, or for sometime now, and frequent another forum.

He cannot use the VWP without a return ticket, here are the requirements:-

if entering the United States by air or sea is:

holding a return or onward ticket. If traveling on an electronic ticket, a copy of the itinerary must be carried for presentation to U.S. immigration at the port of entry.

In fact I would very surprised if the airline even let him board the flight in the UK, as they will see he doesn't comply with the VWP regulations.

2. Venturing a guess of what percentage of British people have lived in the UK area from 1980-1996, it's gotta be way over the majority--what's your point?

My point is, it is not all British citizens so if people want to donate they should check if they are eligible, and not just assume they cannot.

By the way, rules can be changed. Apparently so many military members and their dependents were excluded from being allowed to donate blood that the Red Cross scaled the requirements back saying you had to live in certain European countries (i.e. Germany) for 5 years instead of the original 6 months rule.

The Red Cross didn't scale the rule back, the rules are Federally mandated. It was whoever is in charge of blood in the government that did it.

It is not all people from the UK it is only if you resided there between certain dates. UK blood banks will not use blood sourced direct from the US, since 5000 hemophiliac patients were given HIV contaminated blood from the US some years ago now. You may think the rules are pointless, until a relative gets one of the dodgy pints from somewhere, and pays the price. Until they develop at test which is better than the current 71% detection for cjd in blood, is it worth the risk?

Instead of worrying over rules that cannot be changed have him do something useful and donate some time to the Red Cross to help out at blood drives, or volunteer to courier blood to hospitals when it is an emergency and has to be taken there right away.

Thanks, yes it was after I filed the petition. They also asked my occupation and where I worked. Asked how much money I was carrying all total.

As you say this was customs, don't you think this had nothing to do with your immigration application but more to do with arriving back from China and maybe them checking you were not carrying counterfeit items, large sums of money or other matters of interest to customs.

Thanks for your answer.

I did bring my final divorce decree, but IO required Petition of divorce that didn't tell me to bring in the instruction so I didn't know that.

That's it then. Get the paperwork they want and you should get a decision.

All of this time I was reading reviews from interviews at the London Embassy and people were saying they pay at the window the day of, now I'm hearing you have to pre-pay or they won't schedule an interview? Which is correct?

You prepay it has been changed.

K Visa Applicants pay the fee to the Operator Assisted Information Service prior to attending the visa interview. Instructions concerning payment will be sent to you with the appointment letter.
