    Lucre reacted to pushbrk in A Warning To Green Card Holders About Voting   
    (From my blog)
    A Warning To Green Card Holders About Voting
    Do not register to vote in any election until you have officially been granted US Citizenship.
    Going into this election season, it is very important to understand that for a Green Card holder, (Lawful Permanent Resident) to register to vote is not only improper, but can have severe consequences in the future.
    Even though there are States that have instituted policies that do not require evidence of US Citizenship when registering to vote, the voter registration documents do ask whether the person registering is a US Citizen. Many have simply checked the box and gone ahead and registered, knowing that even if the State Law requires showing government issued identification, their driver license will suffice.
    While this is not legal advice, the publicly searchable “9 FAM” (Foreign Affairs Manual) is quite clear regarding the potential consequences of falsely claiming US Citizenship. There is no more serious a misrepresentation, based on the consequences, dealt with in 9 FAM. The potential consequence of registering to vote or for any other federal or state benefit afforded only to US Citizens includes Deportation and a LIFETIME BAN from entering the USA.
    If any reader who is not a US Citizen, has registered to vote in any official State of Federal election, I advise them to seek competent legal advice as soon as possible, to discuss minimizing or eliminating the risk of any future deportation and ban.
    The law is, what the law is. Regardless of whether this particular or any other immigrant related law is being consistently enforced today, that can change at any time.
    False claims to US Citizenship are taken very seriously by Customs and Border Patrol Officers. Some years ago, I was traveling with my step daughter, when we encountered a border check station on Interstate 10 in West Texas. My step daughter was quite proud of passing her citizenship test just the day before, and proudly answered yes, when a CBP Officer asked if she was a US Citizen. I quickly corrected her, so the officer would hear me, saying, “You WILL BE a US Citizen after your swearing in ceremony, but you’re aren’t a citizen yet.” Fortunately, the officer was understanding and we were soon on our way without incident.
    Many have registered to vote, somewhat “innocently” because of the misrepresentations or ignorance of well meaning officers at the DMV (Driver License Offices) or even a campaign worker.

    Lucre got a reaction from mbalsamo in ARGENTINA Packet 3 + Embassy interview   
    This is a more detailed version of my interview experience (I posted it as my consulate review):
     
    It went faster than I was expecting. We were only two people waiting at 8am. They call you by your name to the outside window where they give you a post it with a stamp, they dont ask for anything there and they ask you to go through the door on the left.
    There is a security guard there that brakes the post it and lets you in the building where you go through security
    A security guard leads you to the main building where you can sit. I waited there for 45'.
     
    PART 1:
    They call your name and tell you to go to box 5 where a lady asks for your papers. You can listen everything from the main room so it's a little bit uncomfortable. She asks for your papers one by one and checks them before going to the next one.
    She treats you kinda bad, but it's not a huge deal. She told me and everyone else that was with me that day that "the instructions" are clear about what papers you need but I don't think I ever read clear rules anywhere about what papers they need. Some things like "we need the original birth certificate and we don't accept anything else" and at least in Cordoba we dont have access to the actual originals.
    She asked for:
    * New and old passports
    * Courier confirmation
    * Original birth certificate. Something important here: they want it to have a real stamp, we don't have access to the actual originals, they're in books in the civil registry. You can get copias fieles but what they want is that copia fiel with stamps, it means, not the digital version. So I would recommend to get your birth certificate in the civil registry where they are going to give you a copia fiel and put a real (usually purple) stamp on it
    * Picture 5x5 with white background. Take two different pictures because they were very strict to the guy before me about it
    * Marriage certificate. Same thing as with the birth certificate 
    * Police records with "excepcion del articulo 51"
    * Medical exams. Since I had them all digital she just asked for the vaccine paper the doctor gives you. She said it wasn't mandatory tho but I had them with me
    * Evidence
    * Tax return transcript but I had them on the CEAC so I didn't need them.
     
     
    PART 2:
    I waited around 30' for this part
    The consul calls you to box 5
    They get your finger prints on both hands.
    You take an oath.
    While they constantly check everything on the system they ask you questions. All my questions were simple and I tried to reply just what was asked. My questions were:
    * Who's the petitionary? 
    * What's his name?
    * When did you get married?
    * Is this your first marriage?
    * Is this his first marriage?
    * How old are you?
    * How old is your husband?
    * Does he live in the USA?
    * Was he born there o was he naturalized?
    * Do you have his birth certificate or passport copy? (have a copy ready, I had both)
    * Have you ever lived in another country for more than 6 months?
    * Have you ever had trouble with the police?
    * Have you ever been arrested?
    * Have you ever had problems with the police in another country?
    * Do you have any other nationality?
    * Have you traveled to the US with a different visa?
    * Have you ever overstayed in the US?
    * Have you ever worked in the US?
    * Is this your first marriage? (repeated question)
    * Is this your husband's first marriage? (repeated question)
    * When did you met your husband?
    * When did you two got married? (repeated question)
     
    In that moment he explained that because we've been married less than 2 years I will have a conditional visa so I have to remove the condition at the 2 year anniversary and I shouldn't forget to do it because it would mean that I have to start all over.
    He gave me a paper with my Alien Registration Number and instructions to pay for the next fee.
    In my case my marriage certificate was not considered original so he told me I needed to forward them the email that the civil registry sent me with the link to my digital marriage certificate and the marriage certificate pdf attached. He told me to do it asap. My visa was going to be approved after he was able to check the email but he wasn't able to approve it now. He kept my passport and gave me a paper with the embassy email. He gave me all my papers back.
    I left at 10am. I sent the email as soon as I got home, at 5pm my lawyer texted me saying the visa status changed from Ready to Issued.
     
    The lady asking for the papers was kinda mean, the consul was polite and nice, not friendly, it felt like answering questions to a software with a face. Everything was solved pretty fast
     
    Now we're waiting for the email to go get the passport and I think I'm gonna wait until the gov decision about flights in October. I quit my job today so I actually stop working in 15 days

    Mini update:
    I picked up my passport today. They contacted me via email yesterday and they kinda gave me an appointment for 11:15. Many people were there to pick up passports. I got mine at 11:35. You don't have to enter to the embassy, and you can bring your phone for this "appointment"

    Yeah I suspect "not accepting visas" means  the embassy gives the NVC their availability periodically and they have not done that yet. I have hope they must be getting ready to conduct more interviews soon. Things in Buenos Aires are moving towards opening, not closing.

    Hoy tuve la entrevista y salió todo bien, mucho más rápido y fácil de lo que esperaba!
     
    Tenía turno a las 8, llegué 7:30. Te hacen esperar afuera hasta que se haga la hora y despues te dejan pasar, pasas por seguridad y ahí a una sala donde esperas un tiempo.
    Nota: Si bien la página de la embajada dice claro y en letras rojas que no tenes que llevar el celular, cuando pasas seguridad tienen lo que parecería ser un lugar para dejarlos, pero no tengo idea.
     
    Esperas un poco y te llaman para entregar los documentos. Me pidieron:
     
    Originales / copias certificadas:
    Your original birth entry (la copia del registro, si tenes la versión digital puede ser que te digan que les envies el mail por lo que entendi) Unexpired passport valid for six (6) months All Previous and / or expired passports Original marriage entry Otros:
    Copy of the Yatri appointment registration confirmation 1 color photographs (5 cm x 5 cm) Medical examination results (They're online now, Dr Grillo told me she sent them to the embassy already) Photocopy of the sponsor’s IRS transcript or most recent U.S. federal income tax return, and any relevant W-2s. (No el Affidavit of Support) Proof of your U.S. petitioner’s status and domicile in the United States (photocopy of a U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, or lawful permanent resident card). Evidence of the relationship between the petitioner and visa applicant (such as photographs, letters, or emails). You should gather more photos, message record or video call record. They should be different than the ones you sent on the I-129F packet. Police certificate (A mi me lo pidieron por que lo había mandado sin la excepción al artículo 51, igualmente ya lo había subido al ceac también, si esta todo bien de una seguramente no te lo piden) Después de eso volves a la sala de espera, y al rato te llama el cónsul para verificar tu caso. Podes elegir si hablar en español o inglés. La verdad que me cayo bien, sobrio pero relajado, estaba medio nervioso antes de eso. Te toma las huellas, juras que vas a decir la verdad y despues se pone a revisar los papeles. Me pregunto cómo nos conocimos con mi esposa, de que iba a trabajar cuando este alla y no mucho más. En un momento me pregunta "Is this your first marriage?" - "yes"
     - "and your wife's?" - "her first too" - "And hopefully the last one right?" jajaja
     
    Y nada, despues de eso te da un papel con tu Alien Registration Number, unos papeles sobre violencia doméstica, te explica que entre devolver el pasaporte e ir a EEUU hay que pagar un fee a USCIS para la green card y listo. Si te casaste hace menos de 2 años hay que hacer el trámite para remover la condición temporal a los 2 años del casamiento, yo pensaba que eran 2 años después de emigrar, pero no.
     
    Me dijo que no están atendiendo todos los días y tienen staff limitado, así que tampoco imprimen visas todos los días. Igualmente a las horas me mandaron un email diciendo que mi caso fue aprobado y puedo pasar a buscar mi pasaporte + visa el martes que viene por la embajada (es más rápido que esperarlo en una sucursal de DHL)
     
    Otra cosa, ahora es todo digital así que eso de llevar el paquete cerrado no existe mas, ahora solo vas con el pasaporte y la visa y ellos ven todo en el sistema.
     
    Overall 10/10. Rapido, fácil y toda la gente es muy amable.

    Hi guys!
    Just an update: I am in Buenos Aires right now
    I'm posting in case somebody needs this info in the future (I hope everything goes back to normal and you never have to use it tho).
     
    I hired a private taxi, I called the companies that the embassy posted on their website to help american citizens, here is the list:
    Remises Universal; +54 11 4991-5146 Travel Line; +54 11 6038-5785 Aires Argentinos; +54 11 4413-8400 y +54 11 6671-3711 Limay Travel (Bariloche); +54 9 294 469-7475. I ended up hiring Travel Line (spoiler alert: amazing service)
    So we arranged the trip, they were super helpful and told me that I needed JUST the national permit (no covid test, no permit for Santa Fe). I asked a million questions and they answered every one of them.
    48hs before the trip I paid the full price ($25800 pesos)
    The day before the trip they asked if I wanted them to do the permit and I said yes so at 6pm they asked for the info and sent me the pdf with my permit ready.
    They picked me up at 7am and the ride went smooth, just one check point when entering Buenos Aires province. The police officer asked for my permit and my DNI and for the drivers DNI, permit, driver license, car permit and they checked the car's trunk.
    At 2:30pm I was already in Buenos Aires city.
     
    Now I just have to wait for the medical exam and the interview.
     
    Thanks to everyone that answered my messages and cared about my situation ❤️

    Jaja, te re entiendo! 
     
    Sí, fueron tres pinchazos distintos. Dos en un brazo, y uno en el otro. Fue muy dulce la señora que me las puso, fue rápido así que no tuve tiempo de sentir mucho, jaja.
     
    Recién encontré esta tabla en un link de las instrucciones de la embajada, sobre las vacunas:
    https://www.cdc.gov/immigrantrefugeehealth/exams/ti/panel/vaccination-panel-technical-instructions.html#tbl1
     
    Así que seguro en tu caso son las mismas que las mías (yo tengo 35), ya que parece que de 18 a 64 son las mismas para todos.

    Buen día!
    Ayer tuve el examen médico, les dejo mi experiencia 2020 (?), por si a alguien le sirve ahora/en un futuro.
    (Aclaro que no se si alguna parte del examen será diferente dependiendo del sexo o edad)
     
    Tenía turno 9:30, y a las 11:20 ya estaba en un taxi volviendo a casa, así que muy rápido todo.
    Elegí a la Dra. Grillo para mi examen. Llegué a Sinclair 2924 (“edificio 1”), me tomaron la temperatura en una muñeca, me hicieron pisar una alfombrita para desinfectar mis zapatos y alcohol en gel en las manos. En el primer piso, me ingresaron al sistema pidiendo mi DNI y allí me cobraron el análisis de sangre y los rayos x. Pagué $1610 (pesos). Me dieron la opción de pagar en efectivo o tarjeta. Luego me vio la doctora. Me pidió los papeles con los datos de mi caso/entrevista/formulario y mi pasaporte, verificó los datos en el sistema y me devolvió todo. Le pagué $3500 (pesos). Efectivo únicamente. No me pidió las fotos 5x5cm, ella saca una foto en el momento. Pero por las dudas yo las llevé. Llevé todo lo que figura en las instrucciones de la embajada. Me hizo preguntas de mi historia clínica: si tomaba alguna medicación, si tenía alguna enfermedad, si alguna vez fui internada/hospitalizada, si fumaba/tomaba alcohol.  Me tuve que sacar la ropa y quedarme en ropa interior (medias también! hacía frío, jaja) y barbijo/tapabocas. Me pesó, me midió, y me hizo una revisión general. Me pidió que le muestre la cicatriz de una cirugía que tuve en el tobillo. También, tuve que sacarme el tapabocas unos segundos y mostrarle mi boca y dientes. Me preguntó sobre mis vacunas. Yo perdí/no encontré la libreta de vacunación, así que me escribió una orden para vacunarme allí mismo con las necesarias según mi edad. También me dio las órdenes para rayos x, análisis de sangre y el de orina. Con todo eso, salí del edificio 1 y fui al edificio 2, a la vuelta (Cerviño 4720). Al entrar, lo mismo: tomaron mi temperatura y me higienicé manos. Luego de entregar la orden para el examen de orina, lo fui a abonar. Pagué un poco menos de $13.000 (pesos). Me dieron la opción de pagar en efectivo, débito o crédito. Luego de la recolección, me sacaron sangre. Después, los rayos X. Hubo un malentendido con la chica que me sacó los rayos X, porque yo le escuché/entendí que me dijo “listo, esperame afuera”. La esperé pero… no, no tenía que esperar en mi caso, jaja. Tal vez le escuché mal porque me lo dijo usando barbijo, detrás de una puerta, sumado a los ruidos de la clínica. Así que por las dudas confirmen si pueden volver con la doctora o tienen que esperar! De vuelta en el edificio 1, me desinfecté manos de nuevo, subí al primer piso y entregué la orden para las vacunas. Me dieron la doble adulto (creo que es la doble bacteriana), triple viral y vacuna contra la varicela (ya que nunca tuve varicela). Me dieron la opción de pagar en efectivo o tarjeta. Aboné un poco menos de $10.000 (pesos) por las tres vacunas. Luego de vacunarme me entregaron una nueva libretita con mis nuevas vacunas. Volví a ver a la doctora, chequeó las vacunas, y listo!  
    A las 19/20hs le escribí para confirmar que los exámenes estaban bien, y así fue. Ella se encarga de enviar todo a la embajada, ya no te entregan ningún sobre ni hay que retirar nada.
     
    Leí que muchos le escriben previamente a alguno de los dos doctores para ver que vacunas hacen falta, así uno se puede vacunar previamente de ser necesario por su cuenta, que será muchísimo más barato seguro.
     
    Y eso es todo! Ahora a esperar la entrevista…

    Hi, I m not sure how you are travelling to Buenos Aires but I found this link that could help you (https://www.argentina.gob.ar/circular). There is a  permit valid for 24 hours for urgent matters including "tramites". I believe you may need it plus the evidence of why you are travelling (medical and interview in your case).  My parents who live in Cordoba city have gotten this permit very easily to move inside the Cordoba Province.
     
    As for the quarantine, I am not sure. But I can tell you I came to Buenos Aires from Cordoba in early May when things were more strict and entering the city (by car) I was only asked for my DNI and permit to circulate. When I was trying to figure out how to return I got the most helpful responses from the CABA Tourism agency (turismo@buenosaires.gob.ar).
     
    Once you are in the city there is no control at all. You will not be able to use public transport but you should be able to move freely walking or by taxis. I recommend staying near the Embassy to make things easier. Good luck with everything!
