    broppy got a reaction from Crazy Cat in Resident can be called for jury   
    And even though they're not eligible to serve, LPRs are still required to respond to a jury summons - usually it's just a matter of checking a box and mailing the form back (but I've heard California makes you jump through hoops, though).

    Residents can be called, but they're not eligible to serve on a jury.  (The government is lazy and tends to rely on DMV records for a list of "eligible" jurors).

    I would skip USPS HR dept and directly file a charge with the Justice Department's Immigrant and Employee Rights Section. You can even do it online.

    There's a sticky thread in the Working & Traveling forum. It's from a couple of years ago (when IER was known as OSC), but their response at the time was pretty quick.

    Correct - you only need to submit copies of the required documents (green card and marital status) with your initial submission - evidence of child support is only required at the interview.

    broppy reacted to Scandi in My wife was refused a tourist visa   
    It always amazes me when people who have the privilege of travelling on ESTA make stupid decisions (like overstaying) and lose that privilege, especially if they complain about how "unfair" it is later on when they realize that they will have a hard time getting back into the US again.

    Yes, it had nothing to do with the ban since the ban has been over and done with for a few years. However, she has a history of overstaying so the IO was completely correct in denying her the visa. It's not a disgrace, it's the IO doing her job and keeping her eyes open to people who have broken the rules before as they could very well do it again.
     
    Like others have said, there's not a whole lot you can do about it. She made her bed and now she has to lay in it. =/

    I've no idea - I didn't see the question last month.
    Not required - a beneficiary with an approved I-360 does not need to submit I-864 affidavit of support (and so no tax returns needed either).
    Just like everyone else - get a job.
    Yes. The beneficiary still needs to go through NVC processing and complete DS-260 as usual - but as a widower, now, not a spouse.

    That is completely untrue. In the event of the petitioning USC spouse dying, a pending or approved I-130 will automatically be converted to an I-360 petition for widow(er). See the USCIS Fact Sheet.

    Hey Cap'n. Just a minor nit that keeps bugging me on the home page - under "Today's Popular Immigration Discussions", I occasionally see topics with no title (and nothing to click on to go to the thread). I've taken to clicking the username and checking their recent posts to get there instead and noticed that the affected topics always seem to contain accented characters (most commonly, the "é" of fiancé(e)). Screenshot below (Gaebel's post at #5). Occurs for me on Firefox, Chrome, and Chromium.

    No need to show you examples when there is the law at play here. Nobody except USCs is guaranteed admission into the country. Even green card holders. If it is believed that permanent residency has been abandoned then entry can he refused. Note that a re-entry permit does not guarantee admission into the country, it merely allows the holder to apply for admission at the POE. This is risky business. Now more than ever before. 
     
    On a personal note, as someone who went through the long process to obtain an immigrant visa to be able to live with her husband, it does annoy me that seemingly large numbers of people are applying for immigrant visas, becoming LPRs but then returning to their home countries with no intention of living here, at least in the immediate future, usually to participate in chain migration. In other words, just as was suggested here, they stay long enough to open a bank account and take a driving test and start the petitions for the next group of family members and then leave the country for two years. No wonder USCIS works so slowly and spouses have to wait months and months for petitions to be approved. To see this going on while you're waiting to be with your husband is irritating, to say the least. Theoretically there is no waiting time for spouses of USCs but USCIS has a finite number of employees and can only approve a certain number of petitions each day.

    Little did they care - car salesmen will say almost anything to get a sale!
     
    Yup, unfortunately, TPMS is the big difference in Canadian and US requirements when it comes to moving south of the border.
     
    That really sucks, but without proof they said it was identical to the US model, there's not a lot more you can do (except campaign for harmonisation of standards and warn people about it, none of which helps you now, though).
     
    If you're looking to buy a new vehicle and moving south, I'd recommend pushing the dealer to supply that compliance letter before committing to purchase - some manufacturers seem very reluctant - a salesman with a healthy commission coming his way should be able to get one for you - if not, that's the time to consider a different manufacturer.
     
    Hah! It's not just the Canadian weather - even here in the deep south, a drop of 15-20°C can lower the pressure enough to trip the sensors.
     
    I'm more inclined to believe the tire change excuse - someone somewhere weighed up the cost/benefit of TPMS vs winter tires and decided that cheaply/easily being able to swap tires twice a year beats the additional cost associated with TPMS.

    Must adults don't need to have their siblings around them. 
     
    Remember that the USA is one of the only countries, if not the only country, in the western world that permits adults to bring in siblings. I'm guessing your mother also immigrated here at some point too. This is called "chain migration" and is not sustainable over a long period, which is why many other countries don't permit it. 
     
    My brother's wife immigrated to the U.K. from Mexico on a spousal visa (because my brother is a British citizen). She now has British citizenship but cannot bring in her parents or siblings. She has survived quite well without them. It's something she took into consideration when she packed her bags and left Mexico for good.
