We've opted for the common "Canadian" thing of handing out potato chips. There's a Gordon Food Store not far away, so we grabbed a couple of 50 count boxes of Lays. It's a nice alternative to candy. Kid2 used to be severely dairy intolerant so doesn't care for chocolate and is old enough to know it's not worth the door to door effort when you can simply go to Kroger tomorrow and buy exactly what you want for massive discount. A couple of years ago, I used to grab the Costco Halloween Playdoh packs. Kids actually loved it. I just haven't paid enough attention when at Costco to grab said packs, so chips it is.

Hello and welcome Please take a minute and fill out your timeline: https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=493709 The RFE is asking for proof that your marriage is real and legitimate. Nigeria is a high fraud country, so they want to see things like spouses listed as beneficiaries on each other's investments (life insurance, retirement accounts, etc), joint accounts for things like banking, that you've filed your income taxes in the US as married, any trips you've taken together (airline tickets with your names on them, reservations in both names), etc. Think of it from the perspective of someone looking in - just because someone is married on paper doesn't mean the marriage is for the right reasons, and that's what USCIS are looking at. No one here is going to doubt that it's legitimate from what you've said, but, USCIS needs to scrutinize all cases.

Some peeps in our hood have no power at present because of the wind. We were serenaded off and on all morning by the moans and groans of unhappy transformers. Centerpoint - the pinnacle of reliability!!!

Additionally, just because Islamabad is potentially working on cases from that date doesn't mean visas are being issued immediately. Extensive AP is not uncommon in Pakistan. Attempting to move it guarantees nothing.

Know what I hate more? Time change. Guess what's coming on the weekend? Time change. Enjoy those clocks for the couple of days they'll have the correct time for!!

You can be doing all of the research now. Your first decision is public, private or charter school and then go from there. I suggest using Great Schools ratings as a starting point. If you are planning to move somewhere within the Houston Metro, look at the districts, how they rate and taxes in the areas you hope to live. The higher the taxes, typically the better the school district, unfortunately.

I don't doubt we'll see that change in other places as well.

Digital nomads can work in Canada without a separate visa for up to 6 months, barring they meet the entrance requirements.

There will be a list provided of what your partner is required to bring to the interview and whether it has to be original or can be a copy. Your divorce decree will definitely be required, so you might as well upload it to CEAC.

We had neighbors kitty corner behind us who had a tree fall on their house during Beryl. Months later, they were finally having the roof repaired and the crew working on it were literally up there in the dark at like 6:30am (yes, p math errors for sure). I was in disbelief. So unbelievably unsafe. Gross. Usually our dog gets to it and then it sends her into a state of infected guts because she's allergic to animal protein. You should see if there is a vet tech who would come to your house and trim them. Typically they charge way less and Miu would probably be more amenable to a visitor rather than a car trip to the vet. I need to do this, but not enough motivation over the weekend. Should do it right now...it's lovely outside! Alas...I have to work.

Maybe they'd get enough for the land that they could afford a tiny home. Not that you want the inlaws right outside, but better than IN your house, perhaps? It got worse when the (insert profanity) EZ Fiber contractors hit the Always Terrible & Telephones fiber, leaving us with no interwebz. Hubs put in a ticket on the AT&T system on Tuesday evening for a Wednesday appointment. The rep shows up at our door and shakes his head, apologizes and says "I see the problem here". He called back to HQ and told them it's not an individual line in issue, but a much larger one caused by (morons). At least AT&T under promised and over delivered. The anticipated time for restoration was this morning but around 6pm, Kid2 noticed his wifi was working on his device. He rejoiced because, well, kids these days don't know what it's really like to have to self entertain like we did before interwebz existed. Working yesterday while tethered to my phone was less than fun. We talked about back up wifi but honestly, we shouldn't have to fork over the cash for that. AT&T has a robust system with power back up that even when Centerpoint can't provide power for homes, AT&T can for their fiber. During Beryl last year when we were powered by generator, we had interwebz (yet again, another reason the teenagers descended upon our home - AC & interwebz go a long way!). These companies should be put to a vote - do we want them to come in and rip up our yards for their services? If the majority say no, that's a hard pass. Precovid, sure, I'd have potentially voted for them but that was because we had one option for fast interwebz. Since then, we've had 2 other fiber companies install, so this is a third. Evidently enough, the first ones that brought services in hit the trunk line for our former ISP and damaged it to a point that our previously robust, reliable service became horribly unreliable. See, many reasons to take up profane seafaring. Or, maybe it's just flashbacks to my oil patch days. Like sailors, patch workers speak a similar language!

Oh boy! That's a lot of government to deal with! Probably the best choice. Good luck

Sailor. Definitely a sailor.

Isn't this a bit of Groundhog Day? You've asked about filing outside of the 90 day window, about your brother as a joint sponsor, etc in your previous threads. Why start a new one with similar questions instead of continuing your others?

Disagree. Plenty of coffee varietals and roasts, just like there are plenty of varietals and blends of teas. Wine. Beautiful, full bodied reds.

Ugh...I wandered over to let the EZFiber worker that was digging 2 doors down that all the houses along our side of the street have underground sprinklers. As turned around to walk back home, I wasn't paying attention and didn't notice that the neighbor's sprinkler head hadn't receded into the body like it should have and I smashed my big toe into the pop up, taking a chunk of skin out at the top of the nail bed. It was bleeding onto my flip flop. Bled through one bandaid in short order. Had to pivot bandaid strategies, exchanging a fabric bandaid with cute narwhals for a second skin NextCare plastic bandaid so I don't bleed through my shoe. Had to pivot shoe selection too. Ouch ouch ouch...😭

Nope but it's starting to look like Christmas...ordered fabrics today to make stockings for the residence dwelling young adults up in Canada. Kid1 is visiting in November, so I have to have them complete before she heads back up!

How long did that take for you guys? Simply curious as I'd imagine the Civil Division is a busy place! In the OP's case, they may not even be able to change the spousal name because it looks like you have to preemptively decide you're going to change your name before marriage in Switzerland. Maybe its different for international marriages, but I dunno.

Others can chime in, but if I were in your shoes, I'd probably secure the L1b first. Why? Because it secures you under your own, independent status on a visa type that is considered dual intent and one where you can travel. IIRC, O visas aren't dual intent; L1's are. I know you're adjusting off of your partner's EB, but once that I-485 is filed, you can't leave the country unless you either have the L1 or advanced parole. You are a bit luckier because you will be the lone man out, able to travel straight away. If you have kids, you may want to put them on L2 status for this reason, as well. As for the 90 day rule, it doesn't apply to USCIS. It's a DoS thing. It doesn't matter anyway for 2 reasons. 1. Your L1 is a dual intent visa. 2. Immigrant intent has already been established by your partner having the approved I-140. I can't comment to the Deferred Inspection site. You could probably call and ask but I always went across the border when I was on my L1 and required some sort of servicing.

Changing one's name is actually rather involved, especially when it's in 2 countries. If your partner changes their name now, they need to change their name in their home country first so they can get a new passport to continue the immigration journey in the US. From there, it will be changing all documentation in the US and remember, everything up until now that has been filed with USCIS has been in your partner's maiden name. I see Switzerland as your partner's home country. From what I can see online, have you registered your marriage with the Swiss Registry? This is important to do, irrespective of name change. From there, if a name change is desired, it has to take place in the civil registry before any new documentation, like a passport, can be obtained.

A photo of the CC but the claim is security measures and fraud prevention? Giving someone your CC to show as proof of purchase and fraud prevention isn't sketchy, either? I might have flown Delta in 2003. I think I'll definitely pass after seeing this.
