  1. clearly to those running government and writing the civics test, political science is the only thing they believe is important to being a good citizen. the constitution being the supreme Law of the Land is important as it governs federal and state both but the test leaves out local laws that vary not only from state to state but "at times county to county" and knowing your congressional persons is on the test . WHY? this is something any of us can look up on the internet if we find a need to know/ it would be more important to know what they believe in when we vote. ' and yes, there are a great many Americans who could not pass the test / not all people are interested in History. some are math /science majors and only take a history course as it is required for high school and / or college . i don't care if my heart dr or plumber know history. i want them to know their job the driving test (in TN) makes more sense / it requires a person to know how much alcohol is a DUI / to me the laws that require you to be a good citizen are not included in the N 400 test making the whole thing useless. why not a list of drugs and ask applicants which ones are illegal ? and those in power still do not know the real issues with the immigration process there are those who use the system , marry a USC and then its green card to fast divorce . if a USC has the proof they were used fraudulently, the immigrant should not be allowed a divorce waiver and get to stay. and allowed to do N 400 within 3 years ???
  2. letter of invitation hurts more than helps and if the sister said anything that would indicate she was needed to aid with caring for the sister's child, it would be reason for denial as you can not work in USA on tourist visa
  3. that is what the site says as long as they didn't garnish wages or other issues are found , seems u r ok take proof of the agreement and ALL proofs of payments
  4. not for the N 400 / it is date of the green card after US arrival
  5. i believe u r reading site for nonimmigrant Try this as it says If your visa has been approved, you will be informed how and when your passport and visa will be returned to you. Carefully review After the Interview on usvisas.state.gov to learn what to do when you receive your visa, entering the United States, paying the USCIS Immigrant Fee, and other important information https://eg.usembassy.gov/visas/family-based-immigration/
  6. after ds 160 does dakar ask you to pay fee at a bank or terminal or can u pay it at time of interview? sorry ,i could not find that info on the embassy webpage but they are suppose to send instructions to u If it has to be paid prior to interview, u will not be able to access the site till fee is paid for the K1
  7. is the house in the USA showing her intent to move here and you amend taxes with a W 7 for ITIN instead of SS # Families approve ;then send affidavits from them (with English translations)
  8. you have paid into SS and it can not be frozen but u can keep paying into it on the 1040 form as other taxes owed BTW you do have to file US tax returns as now u r USC (no matter where u live ) check out the forms and for international income m you do get to exclude over $100,000 each year (form 2555) for income outside the US when you are ready to retire , u can collect SS (if qualified by keeping up with any monies owed ) but need bank that accepts electronic payouts - i keep a US bank account open for my debit and credit cards . SS will no longer write checks to a bene of SS payments We did make a move (sort of) We bought a villa on the Mediterrean in Spain and spend 6 months there and 6 in the US We like it as it makes airfare to travel EU, north Africa and middle east (i like to paraglide in eastern turkey mts) so much cheaper and easier / i hated those long lay overs I don't see a downside as politics in the US are also sketchy and taxes and insurances were the breaking part for me /In the US it doesn't pay to work overtime as federal taxes will take all the extra I mean health, life, auto, homeowners, dental, and eye insurances and our vet wanted us to take out for our dog . its a little too much u have my vote for moving u can always rent out the house in case the move is not as great as u thought and return to USA
  9. According to previous post , you are the bene So, u r in the Netherlands and want to know if a USC can be the father's guardian if something happens to u? this is a question for a lawyer and the court system in your country here in the US court has to approve if we try to make a foreigner a guardian in these circumstances / the only concern the courts have here is the child's best interest Best bet is to wait till the visa is granted and u r here in the US with your son and the USC becomes stepfather / no court needed
  10. that;s a plus good luck I add my vote after u meet and are completely sure you want to commit is for the CR1
  11. to pay $6 K at $100 a month will take 5 years (60 months) per your post the judge backdated the order by a few months as the other party had filed 6 months ago and the court dates were pretty backlogged. So , u accumulated 6 k arrears in just 6 months? Not sure how the officer will view all this / just answer honestly all questions
  12. are u a US citizen by birth or came here on visa for spouse or fiancee?
  13. Part 9 17g is the important question here It will matter what the original divorce settlement was and what amount u were to pay in child support \ AS u stated , u are $6 K behind and your wages have been garnished https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/n-400instr.pdf In the instructions for N 400 on page 22 it says: Been ordered to pay a fine, make restitution, or have your wages garnished. 1. Documentation of the order to pay a fine, restitution, or garnish wages; and 2. Documentation that you have paid the required sum or evidence of current payment
  14. its called AVR (automatic voter registry) and has been adopted by 25 states and DC but it is for eligible voters meaning when u apply For DL and show birth certificate , u and those who say they were registered should know they can not vote till they are citizens
  15. a resident of NYC can not also own a handgun (unless law enforcement) , so there should be no shooting and killing in the city by hand guns From January 2025 to May 2025, New York City recorded 264 shootings and 112 murders, so, those who break the laws , don't care about the laws
  16. All i have to do to vote is register (no one asks for proof of citizenship at the office-even i had my naturalization papers with me. then at the voting place , i show voting registration and DL with photo ID 19 states allow illegals to have DL and DC also allows it my query? will the voting polls start asking for proof of citizenship like a US passport or US birth certificate ? that would help
  17. fingerprints last forever but photos according to USCIS for everything u would petition for thru immigration https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos.html Taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance
  18. The embassy will put the case in AP while they complete the background checks for Saudi
  19. spouse came in 2019 and u also applied for stepchildren Are u now doing a K1 for another person?
  20. If you have been assigned the DKR # for the US embassy in Senegal, you need to complete the DS 160 , keep a printed copy as you must take this to interview in Dakar / after completion of DS 160 follow the instructions for scheduling the interview and how to pay the fee
  21. congratulations on the new family "to be"
  22. not needed but just google "sample of an affadivit " on google don't use the one you fill in the name and address (online) but use one of the samples you type up from scratch
  23. The real downside is immigrants tend to live in communities of their ethnic group / so they would stick together and i would think support a fellow countryman for this process I had to live on 118th street in NYC to finish my Masters at Columbia. i was surprised when i went about the city that people stay and shop within a small radius of their apartment (did a study for socially class and it was 7 block radius) Italians in one area, Greeks in another , so on and so forth My great grandparents and grandma -at age 2- came to the US thru Canada into Michigan. i don't think any of them applied for citizenship but if they had , the neighbors to talk to would have been all family / great aunts and uncles, and cousins and aunts and uncles.
  24. send copies / u may need originals when completeing the AOS process here in the USA
