Is your soon to be ex-wife oppositional to signing something stating she understands and agrees that the child will live with you and receive US permanent residency rights? I suspect, based on what you've said, that you'd be fine. But if push comes to shove, her signing a lawyer notarized declaration could serve as back up. My ex and I don't have a formal, court ordered custody agreement. We wrote an informal parenting agreement which could be filed in court if need be. He wrote a letter stating he knew and supported Kid1 and Kid2 obtaining US PR, had it lawyer notarized and sealed and the Consulate accepted it with our informal parenting agreement.

You might change your mind when you're old and grey and have to pay for health care. I always say never turn down an exit plan, even if you don't think you'll ever exercise it. TX requires 72 hours between obtaining the marriage license and marrying. Just letting you know so you time it well with all of the holidays, as you've noted.

We have an acorn problem. This extreme heat from this summer seems to have sent the front yard oaks into overdrive. My neighbor sent a text, jokingly asking if we could please ask our trees to stop throwing acorns at their house. It's insane! Hopefully they don't pelt the kids too bad when they come trick or treating on Tuesday! On another note, completed Kid1's homecoming mum. This was because the original plan of boyfriend's mom making fell by the wayside when the kids broke up. Then Kid1's bestie was supposed to make one and flaked. So, mom to the rescue. Texas has some weird traditions and this one definitely falls into that category.

It doesn't mean a Myanmar National can't travel. It means it takes more planning. You never want to close the door to any opportunities. Also, it doesn't cost anything to file. Right now, I realize filing more forms to do anything seems like more headache than it's worth, but you might feel differently when AP is granted. Paying the fee and submitting some more documents in a few months time so you can take a little getaway might be quite appealing while you hurry up and wait for everything else immigration related.

I'd double check what you guys submitted before. It sounds like they are assuming, for whatever reason, that your assets are being used to qualify. It may even be a simple box that was ticked by accident on a form. Your MIL's I-864A definitely needs to be uploaded though.

They didn't ask him to. It's a generic form. It says IF, not that you must. First word in bold letters. It then goes on to explain how the form would be applied if your assets were being used to qualify you.

AI is only as good as those who train it. Additionally, do you trust AI to search the system and if it finds someone with the exact same name as you, to do the correct things to ensure the associated checks are really you and not the other person? If that other person has a criminal record, do you want that accidentally assigned to you by AI, ruining any chances of lawful entry into the US? It's a dangerous path. These are government agencies and USCIS is, in large part, is funded by the fees collected by petitions. If you want $$$$ poured into tech, those fees are going to go up exponentially. The other agencies will tax your partner more on their income tax. The money has to come from somewhere. People get impatient and forget immigration is a privilege, not a right. The US doesn't HAVE to let you in. If they want to take their sweet time making a decision, that's their prerogative, as unfortunate and cruel as it sounds.

Geology with a minor in Skool of Life. Nothing comes for free and without a bit of struggle. It's character building.

Oh my word...this is like first principles of designing an experiment - test it to make sure it works! I work for an oilfield services company and teach borehole imaging. Basically, if you're familiar with ultrasound technology, that's one of the measurements we use to "see" the subsurface geology, albeit at different frequencies to medical imaging. We also use resistivity and nuclear measurements to create images. We use petrophysical log curves to aid in our interpretation. It's the curves that tend to cause the biggest issues for colorblind people because they are typically red, green blue, yellow and black. We have had colorblind students who used a greyscale palette to successfully interpret their images (typically, the palettes are scaled from white to black with yellow and orange tones in between).

1. No. It says to fill out only if you are a household family member, which you are not. 3. Your MIL is a household member with your FIL. DoS wants to ensure that all household members are covered and that the income is sufficient, irrespective of whether your FIL has sufficient income. Did hubs file his taxes as married, filing separately? I know you stated that you haven't filed US taxes (as expected), but he has to have filed as married unless you weren't yet married in the previous tax year.

I don't think you're completely off the mark here. There appears to be a good number of people who seem to use Canada and the ease of obtaining Canadian PR and citizenship as a gateway to the US.

Timelines are extended because spousal visas are not the only visas that Montreal has to contend with. Family reunification visas were prioritized after covid, which has left a massive backlog of employment visas that still hasn't been cleared. People waiting on employment interviews have been DQ'd since 2022 and are just starting to see interviews. The VJ guys waiting on employment visas haven't seen interviews issued since May. The fiscal year starts Oct. 1 and runs until Sept. 30th of the following year. When the fiscal new year begins, visas with limited availability numbers (employment, family preference, etc) suddenly become available and have to be addressed since they are a limited time offer. Spousal visas are essentially unlimited; other visa types are not. Montreal also seems to issue a fairly high number of 221g and DS-5535's that all require attention. Combine that with the various holidays and yes, the Consulate seems slow considerably in Q4.

You said flying back to the US. Have they already entered the US on their I-551's? You might as well go pay the fee now while you're thinking about it.

The numbers posted when you log into your account are estimated times, completely subject to change. We're all saying don't hold your breath too long for them to be 100% correct. Sometimes things take longer, sometimes things are spot on with those estimates, sometimes they take less time. They are estimates, after all. If you haven't learned already, there is absolutely nothing expeditious about immigration. Patience is a must. Distractions are a must.

Jovi is perpetuating Yara's insecurities. He really does need help. That level of obsession with strippers is unhealthy. Yara needs it too because she is a beautiful girl but those self esteem issues are just going to translate to Mylah. I think Kalani and Asuelo are on the best path, too. They are both immature for their ages and rushed in because they had Kennedy and Oliver. Johan - that guy...Danielle needs to move back to America. I couldn't believe when Johan said "oh my friend married an American and she bought him a brand new car and this and that". Gimme a break. Danielle is not your bank account. Just really old school, completely skewed, patriarchal type attitude. Shekinah and Sarper are ridiculous. She's immature as anything and they are both jealous as anything. Nikki and Justin aren't much different. Brendan and Mary - way to be smart and get her knocked up straight out of the gate. Could have anticipated that. Kimberly and TJ - she's freaking psycho! Don't get me wrong, CJ's brother is an immature ###, too, but she's off the rails. And who doesn't research the marriage ceremony if you're getting married in another country?!?! She's all upset because she has no clue...com'mon - you have some responsibility here, too!

I think colorblindness is more common than people realize. My one bestie's husband is colorblind and I have a friend who somehow managed to get a chemical engineering degree despite being colorblind. I said to him "how in the he!! did you do titrations in chem?!" "A really good lab partner!" HA! We worked together and the guys during our training class couldn't figure out why I'd tell him which curve was what color during instruction. We were asked about it on the bus on the way back to our housing complex. Student: "Why do you always tell him what colors the curves are" Friend: "I'm colorblind" Me: "If I tell him which one is red and which one is magenta, he knows and remembers." Student: "Really?!" *contemplates for a second* "What color is grass to you?" Me: "How do you expect him to know the color of grass? Sure, he's been told it's green but he can't see green!" Friend: "She's right. Maybe it's like what you'd see as orange." Interesting conversation but it has stuck with me and I do try to remember to ask if anyone I'm teaching is colorblind because my line of work is fairly dependent in being able to see color.

Anyone watching Last Resort? Why is Jovi so obsessed with strippers? He really does have an issue and Yara has no self esteem. Big Ed is an ### and it's never going to change. Liz needs to accept it and move on. Angela is still annoying but has been a bit better on this series. She really did have the ole Meemaw back up when Yara was left bawling over Jovi's actions.

Sorry to hear you're having so many challenges with your mom. It's always tough to deal with aging and decline. It seems she had a number of items in place already to help deal, but it's still a strain, as prepared as one might think they are.

Fingers crossed! There's US election dates for a bunch of States on Nov. 7th, Veteran's Day on the 11th (many places will observe on the 10th) and Thanksgiving on the 23rd. You might face some additional delays as a result.

Unfortunately, this is why you're told not to get rid of your living arrangements or make travel plans until your passport is in hand. If you read back, there was someone who waited nearly 2 years to get through the process.

Good luck! You'll be fine. The test seems daunting, but most immigrants are more versed than a number of Americans as a result of the civics test!

OMG, right?!?! US Politics is a farce at the moment! Yes, McHenry is the interim Speaker of the House.

Relatively speaking, 5 months between DQ and interview is a long time. The majority of consulates, it's like a month or 2 max. Montreal, despite being a neighbour consulate, takes a long time. It doesn't make complete sense, but it is what it is. I do feel really awful for all of you waiting. Like I said, we'd prepared to be in Canada for one Christmas, but ended up with a "bonus" second Christmas. The CBP and CBSA agents would just shake their heads because hubs had flown all of our Christmas tree decorations in extra baggage home after our first Christmas, anticipating we'd all be reunited at our US home, only to turn around and have to haul them back. It was disheartening, but we made the best of it. We took advantage of being able to go tubing in the Rockies (we were in AB), took a lot of photos of the beautiful snow capped peaks and the evergreen trees blanketed and tried to really soak in the White Christmas. The snowless Christmases in Texas where you can bbq in flip flops on December 25th is a bit weird when you've always had snow growing up. We tried to cherish it because it would inevitably be changing - it's easy to get hung up in the negative, but it's also important to live in the moment and find the small wins and silver linings.

If you enter on an L1, yes, your wife could still petition to adjust your status to a spousal visa. You mention family. Do you have children?
