  1. I'd say that an N-400 appication fits the exception...but, of course, you can mail the application. Protect your Vital Records | St. Croix County, WI (sccwi.gov)
  2. I meant medical care.....not medicare......LOL...my mistake. (old eyes).....
  3. I don't believe it is illegal for you to scan your own vital records for Government use. You can scan it for an N-400 application.
  4. Yes, he can....self-pay is always an option....but would be expensive, I agree.
  5. Error . I replied to wrong comment. Sorry.
  6. I-129F petition approvals are valid for 4 months. DOS can, at their discretion (and normally do), extend those dates in 4 month intervals .
  7. A lot of business accounts get axed. I periodically scan my "unread content" many times every day. I see quite a few of business spam accounts. Those threads normally get moved out of public view, then reported to the friendly moderators to evaluate.
  8. To clarify, are you seeking a visa for him to receive medical treatment or to visit you?
  9. From what status is she adjusting? I would like to move this thread to the proper forum for better answers you any other questions you might have.
  10. Once a proper I-485 package has been submitted, she will be authorized to stay in the US until the I-485 has been either approved or denied. She will NOT receive a new visa. The receipt notice (I-797) for the I-485 is evidence (although it will not state so) of her authorized stay. Note: Authorized stay is not a legal status. It merely prevents unlawful presence from accruing. Once her I-94 expires, she will be out of status, but in authorized stay.
  11. This guy turns my stomach. Federal judge vacates Bowe Bergdahl's conviction and dishonorable discharge | CNN Politics
  12. 1. Tell the truth when answering written or verbal questions from immigration. Lying can result in very serious consequences. 2. Every entry into the US is at the sole discretion of CBP. Good luck. I hope they can attend.
  13. I believe the consulate can, at their discretion, extend the petition for up to a year.
  14. ***Moved to Working and Traveling....****
  15. Same thing happened to my wife in May at Dallas (DFW). It was her first time using her US passport. Facial recognition?
  16. Here are the guides for both CR-1 and Adjustment of Status after marriage:
  17. Yes, adjusting status in your case is legal. Once a proper I-485 is filed, you would be authorized to stay in the US until the I-485 package is either approved or denied. However, there are several differences. Good luck on your journey. Adjustment of Status Expensive Requires I-485, I-765, I-131 packages to be filed. Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 3-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 3-8 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. Legal residency does not begin until the Adjustment of Status has been approved. Applicant cannot file for citizenship until after having Green Card for 3 years (which is normally months or more after filing the I-485). CR-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. Visiting is allowed during the process (at the discretion of CBP).
  18. ***Moved to What Visa Do I Need?*******
  19. You are now in the queue for an actual interview, it seems. We filed our I-751 in Mar 2019.....It changed to "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" in May 2019..No RFEs....Interview occurred in December 2022....only after submitting the N-400 in August 2022. They aren't very efficient. There is still hope they will approve your case without an interview.
  20. Planning to enter as a non-immigrant with the intent to adjust status later is improper use of that visa, in my opinion. There is the issue, imo. It could be argued that it is misrepresentation to enter as a visitor with intent to stay.
  21. Having documentation regarding future housing arrangements in the US might be helpful.
