YES!!!!!! If the spouse does not show up for an I-751 interview, your case, according to USCIS policy, will be denied immediately. Personally, I was notified only 2 days prior to wife's N-400 interview that it would be a combo interview.....AT DALLAS!!!!

I am interested in an in dept look at a flat tax system where almost everyone has "skin in the game", and almost everyone (from top to bottom) pays the same tax rate. That could eliminate manipulation of the tax code, and it could greatly simplify tax reporting. Thoughts?

KJP got ripped into pieces during the press briefing today.

Congratulations!!!! USCIS is almost in the rearview mirror.

90 days before the expiration date of the card is the earliest you can file an I-751.

Not a problem. I have merged the 2 threads so as to keep the replies together. Good luck on your journey.

I-134s are normally taken directly to the interview. However, I am moving this topic to the UK regional forum for the London experts to give you a complete answer specific to the UK.

Yes. Without proof of having filed a proper I-485, you are at level of risk if interviewed by authorities, imo.

A lot of dems claimed Trump would not give up power.....seems old Joe is guilty of that.

Had you entered the US after 2 years of marriage to the US citizen, you would have received a 10 year Green Card, instead of a 2 year card. You cannot file an I-751 to remove conditions until 90 days prior to the expiration of the 2 year GC (assuming you have not divorced).

Biden sent a new letter today to Democrats saying he is staying in the race....and he spewed typical lies. Read Biden's letter to House Democrats telling them to support him | AP News Biden tells Hill Democrats he is staying in the race | CNN Politics "President Joe Biden told congressional Democrats in a letter on Monday that he will continue his reelection bid despite mounting concerns about his mental fitness and the viability of his campaign, while also hitting back at party “elites” in an interview ahead of a critical week on Capitol Hill."

Bingo!! That's what I was referring to in "All things considered".

***Moved to What Visa Do I Need?*** All things considered, I would strongly consider marrying and starting the spousal visa process. Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation. K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-6 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-6 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire K-1 entrant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years. Once an I-129F has been approved, delaying the case is difficult to impossible if the need arises. CR-1/IR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US. The clock for citizenship filing starts immediately upon entry to the US. A CR-1/IR-1 case can be delayed indefinitely at NVC if the need arises.

Invoice numbers are not relevant to K-1 cases.

I'm not sure why some attorneys suggest waiting. The sole purpose of the AP document is to allow you to return to the US. Many, many people travel with AP every day. ***Moved to Working and Traveling during US Immigration****

This is very common. I predict you will see approvals within a few days, unless there are complexities in your I-751. Congratulations.

In 2022, 40.1% of households paid no individual income tax. In 2021, The top 1 percent earned 26.3 percent of total AGI and paid 45.8 percent of all federal income taxes. Are the "rich" paying their fair share, and where should tax cuts be applied?

Biden sounded very adamant about staying in the race on Friday.

Let's just throw all those actual state primary votes away. Wow. This could backfire in a big way.

They'll spin it, somehow. But it certainly looks suspicious.

Did your fiance join VJ earlier today?

He won't because we all already know the result.
