BLM has nothing to do with Capitol security. 

Hillary is irrelevant, glad someone agrees with me.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A dozen members of the U.S. National Guard have been removed from duty helping secure the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden after vetting, which included screening for potential ties to right-wing extremism, Pentagon officials said on Tuesday.

If you only start vetting after you find evidence, it will be too late. This is a precaution, you think ahead what might go wrong and you plan for it. Last I saw, two people failed the background checks. If no one had failed it, it would still have been a wise precaution. 
And Biden is not currently in charge of the military.

There's an extremist element in our military that's been building for decades. It's going to take the military actually caring about it before it gets better. Hopefully this was the incentive that lights that fire.

It's true. The difference is that with a K1 AOS, you don't need to submit an I-130 (and pay for it) and thus you don't need relationship evidence at the time of filing. But other than that, it's a pretty similar process. 

Lol I agree I wanna do my interview i waited 2 years and i don’t mind sending proofs of my marriage again in 2 years to be done with that i just wanted to know how it works when you are literally a months from your 2 year anniversary but I will do it step by step and hopefully my interview goes well in february fingers crossed!! ☺️

This is really bad advice, so many people have not received their NOA for the rescheduled interview. There is a thread currently in which OP received the interview letter the day after it was scheduled! This can become a giant headache. ROC is annoying but most of the time it's straightforward. Not worth potentially missing your interview and delaying receiving a green card. 

Good to know... for now I will keep the K-1 application in tact (until we are married)... if my fiancé is able to get the L work visa this spring/summer.. then we have options.. thank you all for your input..

Yes -- L visas are dual intent, so if you marry on one you can adjust. We have to refile our AOS shortly as it turns out I filed too soon (my husband was out of the country when I sent off the package, whoops) but it follows along on much the same route as a K1 adjustment. One of the reasons he went for an L1 and a transfer is because it was an option for him at a time when we wanted to make sure marriage was in the cards for us. The L1 continued his career (though it has hampered his career progression a little) while giving us the space to figure our relationship out.
 
However this all rests on the L1 ban being lifted, of course. I agree with aaron2020 that you should NOT withdraw the I-129F until she gets the L1. If it's an option, go for it. An L1 adjusting gives you way, way more latitude than a K1 adjusting -- you can travel out of the country, work (obviously!) and carry on with normal life without the irritations of a K1. I went through a K1 AOS process with my ex and that was not a lot of fun, even though it was for a much shorter time (only 5 months from start to finish). The CR1 doesn't even need to come into any discussions.
 
Good luck!

3 years of being a LPR in a marital union with a UCS. 

It's true that you can't change the visa from L to CR1 but you don't need to. L visas are dual intent and once in the US, you're allowed to file for adjustment of status after getting married. @laylalex is in this exact situation, her husband is here on an L visa and they're filing for AOS based on marriage. This is 100% allowed and recommended. 

It's true. The disastrous handling of the virus is the reason we're in this situation. Just banning people from certain countries without any other measures (no measures for US citizens for example) does nothing to help stop the virus, it's just a power move. If sensible measures were implemented from the beginning to stop the virus from entering and spreading within the country (Vietnam could do it and they border China), we wouldn't be in this situation with 400k dead. 

It certainly works for the past 4 years. Biden may fail as well, and I don't have any great expectations, but he won't bring the absolute malignancy to the position that Trump brought. We will see though. No one here here can predict the future, although it is amusing watching people try at times. 

We already know Orangesapples is not a Republican.

Honest with who? And about what? My political vision? I'm pretty sure the US has a freedom of speech and people are allowed to have all types of political views. 

True, this is not a subjective rule, it's very objective. Very clear, cut and dry. 

Only allowing people with family in the US and a very limited work visa program and diversity visa lottery program is unjust. Also, I don't consider immigration laws moral laws at all. Even if the US system was just, I still wouldn't have a problem with people not sticking to letter of the law because it's just red tape. I myself wouldn't take the risk of illegal immigration but I have no ill will towards those who do. 

The officer at the border does not have discretion in this.  The rule is 2 years of legal marriage upon entrance to the US.

Good, just make sure that you don't pay for tickets until you have your visa in hand. Anything can happen. 

That's why I think the lowest of the lowest of companies that exploit illegal immigrants. 

Following the rules for rounding, to the nearest billion would be zero. 

Risk of what? Denial?
No. You are permitted to file.
As stated, it isn't going to adversely affect you, unless you end up 'stuck' in limbo like me.
 
 
Nope. Expressely permitted in law.
INA 334(a) to be exact - https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1445&num=0&edition=prelim
"§1445. Application for naturalization; declaration of intention
(a) Evidence and form
An applicant for naturalization shall make and file with the Attorney General a sworn application in writing, signed by the applicant in the applicant's own handwriting if physically able to write, which application shall be on a form prescribed by the Attorney General and shall include averments of all facts which in the opinion of the Attorney General may be material to the applicant's naturalization, and required to be proved under this subchapter. In the case of an applicant subject to a requirement of continuous residence under section 1427(a) or 1430(a) of this title, the application for naturalization may be filed up to 3 months before the date the applicant would first otherwise meet such continuous residence requirement."

Correct. You are eligible according to the time from your 'resident from' date on your 2 year card, which is the date you became a LPR.
There is no break in continuous residence as you remain a LPR until a final order of removal is made by an immigration judge, at which point you cease to be an LPR.
 
It is normal if there are no proceedings.
Yes, you can trust it. 
As previous, it can take many years for it to work its way to and through the court system. They may not have sent it on immediately or at all, anticipating you would refile with a waiver. 
 
Is the stamp from your denied I-751?
If so, do not travel under your current stamp. Make an infopass for a new I-551 stamp - you may have to bend the truth for the reason to get an appointment right now during covid, but that shouldn't be too hard.
 The new stamp will be tied to - and probably annotated with - your new receipt number, NOT your old one and will be annotated 'TC-1' which is the code for spouse of US citizen denied/reopened,
It should look like mine (well, my last one - all of my stamps since refiling have these same annotations).

 
You will have to visit secondary every time you re-enter the country, which is required to verify your status. This will take a few minutes.
 
You remain a LPR with all the rights and responsibilities associated with that, until an immigration judge issues a final order of removal.
Since an LPR is absolutely granted the right to a hearing with an immigration judge, and is also permitted by law an I-551 during any and all immigration proceedings, this is what the 'TC-1' annotation is for - it is telling the officer at your POE that you have been denied, refiled/reopened, and proceedings are possibly pending. This is why they verify your status, and check that that there has been no final order of removal made/removal proceedings started - because you would no longer be an LPR if there had been, and would not be admitted. 
 
 
I hear you, I feel exactly the same. It is a total pain in the butt.
Thankfully the laws are there for a reason, and you have rights.
The only thing you can do for peace of mine is check the hotline right before you travel. It is a call that I make from the airport right before I board a plane overseas. 
 
Not all lawyers are created equal, and many lawyers like to cover their butts and err on the side of extreme caution.
If they told you that you were 100% ok to travel, and something unforseen happened, thats a lawsuit against them right there. 
 
 
 
Nope.
 
Just get that new I-551 stamp, carry any relevant documentation with you and your old expired card (DO NOT SHOW YOUR EXPIRED CARD AT YOUR INFOPASS STAMP APPOINTMENT AS THEY MAY KEEP IT), and be confident that as a LPR you have certain rights under law, however frustrating and worrying this process is.
