not always excused for 1 duty does not keep u out of serving in TN on the 3rd day , we were told a plea bargain had been reached but we still had to come every day for the rest of a 2 week period as other cases were still on the docket and i just sat there for the remainder as court had figured the 1st case would be long and no one was prepared for another usually drs and lawyers are exempt from this duty so it falls on the rest of us

just answer the questionaire honestly/ u are allowed to put i don't know if that's the case like if it asks about a specific law and u don't understand , say so . the court will explain all to u in requards to the law and what you need to know to reach a decision just for info not only is the process different state to state but county to county within a state in NY i served and no quesionaire (civil case suing one party for an accident) in Ga a 2 page simple quesionaire (grand jury) in Tn a long one for a murder / rape trial and they wanted to know if i heard of the case and formed an opinion so state cases , civil, criminal, and whether its state or federal have differnent policies for a questionaires and some only use it to process data following a case

to add u may have a hard time convincing the CO that an infant wants to see the World Cup did she get the visa last summer to see Wydad play here in the US?

you should have your personal copies of the W 2's if not they may be online from your company or by going directly to HR asking for them/ should never take more than 2 days as everything is on a computer

There are still tickets for the Atlanta event at $318 but if moroc wins either of 1st matches , these will go fast hotels in Atlanta also raise prices during big sporting events as will the ones in NJ and MA For the 2026 World Cup in Atlanta, expect high demand and prices at hotels near Mercedes-Benz Stadium, with options ranging from convenient Downtown hotels like the Omni, Signia by Hilton, and Westin to other areas like Midtown, and book ASAP as availability shrinks for peak dates like the semifinal in July 2026. Look for major chains and boutique spots near Centennial Olympic Park, with early bookings showing rates starting from several hundred dollars, even for standard rooms during high-demand games Allah yekbel

Morocco , probably no chance the wait time for tourist visa is under 3 months and the cost to apply is under 200 so u can try u need to buy her ticket to show proof of going to NJ, or Atlanta or Foxbough Ma at this interview with airfare tickets to and from the city u choose check prices from site below and the sites say u need to buy 2 tickets we will go to Atlanta as its close to us i would not expect a approved B1/2 visa from Casa but if lucky, the officer can turn her back to Moroc at POE when the I 130 shows on computer screen unforutely all moroc group matches are here in the US and we looked at ticket prices the $929 are sold out (NJ) only the 4 left at $1442 and the higher end going for $14,838 https://www.stubhub.com/world-cup-east-rutherford-tickets-6-13-2026/event/153021803/?backUrl=%2Fmorocco-national-soccer-team-tickets%2Fperformer%2F100274999&quantity=2

if u want to live (as previous post from Jan ) in africa or middle east this coming year , then no , you will not complete this process fast enough for her green card and your proposed move

If money is issue , K1 and the AOS ;process are more expensive and a weekend to take photos is not what immigration is asking / they want to see quality time spent together (can be chaperoned as we were in Morocco) the big question is "do u have any of the red flag issues ?" u say both are traditional families , so same religion? is woman of child bearing age? Is there a big age gap? over 10 years? Who is the male? if pakistan is the male , plan on lengthy security checks after interview (for either K1 or CR1) BTW affidavits are of little use for immigration the very best to the 2 of u but understand u r going to have to travel to Pakistan and spend more time for a good outcome

Raleigh does oath at Jim Graham building at fairgrounds and according to facebook site , the wait is long especially if she has asked for the name change (as the court has to sign document for that) there is no written schedule out for the oath in that area

Not sure how many of you may be affected but Congress has left for the year and has not extended federal benefits to help lower premiums for ACA https://time.com/7342062/health-care-costs-aca-subsidies-congress-2026/ Congress has left for the year without reaching a health care deal, leaving Affordable Care Act subsidies that have helped lower insurance prices for roughly 22 million Americans to expire on Dec. 31 without taking action to address the surge in costs that is expected to follow. I know VJ advised many new visa holders to check market place insurance when they arrived so the above could affect some premiums for those

if this is confusing you, you will have many questions at the next step (the AOS after marriage in US) so please fill out profile and ID the country It will help VJ community to know the phases and dates u r in and dates of entry and all. knowing what US city and state u r in when here will help when u want to get DL or state ID and a local support group (if needed) of others going thru the same as u Trust me "u r gonna have a lot of questions"

have you paid the 'Aramex fee at the local office as you do need 2 copies of the confirmation page? aramex should print these out for u

read the instructions for K1 for your country Please fill in profile timeline you will have to AOS is USA and you will have a lot of questions /only way some can be answered depends on the country and pd date Example of why country is important Moroc wants all originals for the interview (with wet signature) other embassys accept copies of things like the I 134 so , please, what country is this

USCIS often changes forms do any of the new editions ask that question ?

did you ever complete the AOS by finding the missing previous divorce degree from your husband's previous marriage? Is the USC keeping you informed of any mail coming to you from USCIS while you are gone? You could find out marriage is not valid if that divorce never happened and then yes, could be issues at POE

I would hang onto the memo and have it printed out that shows the RFE was cancelled

If you read thru the internet post on this subject from attorney offices and news media and groups that fight our causes, seems they are completely baffled about what is and what will be and who knows what will happen for real Like December 2 white house memo says states are permanently banned (and some partial ban) but then continues later in the letter to say that each case will be settled on case-by-case basis and all will undergo high security vetting I would only guess your N 400 will be worked on at USCIS office but then interview will not be scheduled till ban is over (or resolved to some extent) as 1 country did in memo of December 16, 2025 https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/12/restricting-and-limiting-the-entry-of-foreign-nationals-to-protect-the-security-of-the-united-states/ (i) Since the issuance of Proclamation 10949, Turkmenistan has engaged productively with the United States and demonstrated significant progress in improving its identity-management and information-sharing procedures. As a result, the restrictions imposed on Turkmenistan in this proclamation modify and supersede those set forth in section 3(f) of Proclamation 10949

Reading on this USCIS is acting with ICE for those who already have a removal order Hacking has the best information

with your info if you provided all documents needed , sounds good i fought a big age difference so feel free to message me if u face denial (but that would be at interview ) hope for your happiness and that USCIS returns the packet to NVC Thinking only USCIS did not send the entire packet as they have made that mistake in the past and all will be returned to NVC and you'll be on your way

In policy highlites , it says Provides that USCIS may only reuse a previously collected BSA photograph if, at the time of filing, no more than 36 months (3 years) have passed since the date the photograph was collected at a BSA. Before covid all photos had to be within last 6 months but covid relaxed this policy old rules said Taken within the last 6 months to reflect your current appearance https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/photos.html also states when they will not use one that is old photo N 400 , N 600, I 485 and I 90

News reports on this are confusing some say suspended while others say paused i have looked for a white house memo to find which it is but even there , white house statements are overlaping and confusing Gavish Law Group says paused and NBC and other news media say suspended for the original countries that are suppose to be under full ban , USCIS on December 17th says https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/countries-subject-to-visa-bonds.html Any citizen or national traveling on a passport issued by one of these countries, who is found otherwise eligible for a B1/B2 visa, must post a bond for $5,000, $10,000, or $15,000. The amount is determined at the time of the visa interview. The applicant must also submit a Department of Homeland Security Form I-352. Applicants must agree to the terms of the bond through the Department of the Treasury’s online payment platform Pay.gov. This requirement applies regardless of place of application. and all this is on case-by-case review / it seems not to be black or white but a grey area in all respects with immigration

how much actual face time did you spend together? and did you prove all of it? did you decide to do the K1 within a short time of meeting? Is there a big age difference ? Have you filed any previous petitions? Has the fiancee been part of any other petitions?

if you check online , there are several organizations like Immigrant Advocates & Allies and Church World Service and IRAP that are pushing back to fight this ban (for a varitity of reasons. they probably have more legal assistance than any of us can afford “Eight years ago, IRAP led the fight against the first Muslim ban. Lawyers and Americans from communities across the country came together to push back on President Trump’s politics of division and fear, and we continue to do so today.

Having a Green Card (officially known as a Permanent Resident Card allows you to live and work permanently in the United States. no need for separate EAD From USCIS site https://www.uscis.gov/green-card

it does say this under the medical exam rules for those already in the US / i could not find info on the exact question you are asking https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-10-prepare-for-the-interview/medical-examination-faqs.html Visa medical examinations may not be conducted in the United States. An alien pursuing a visa application abroad while physically present in the United States must have the medical examination conducted by a panel physician approved by the visa issuing U.S. Embassy/Consulate.
