even with health insurance, i still need to fork out $1,800 for brain MRI last week

mixed bag. do i know personally? no. but there's 1 or 2 story on lawfully app and they shared that they got the removal proceeding terminated with pending 130. in the end of the day it really depend on ur lawyer. my lawyer doesnt even want to file motion directly to the court even when i have approved 130 let alone asked him to file to the court with pending 130. my i-130 took 19 months and that was after i shaked USCIS tree numerous time that granted me i-130 interview. if i didnt do that, perhaps still no GC now.

i already know his answer to travel with AP while case still in the court. no is the answer

OPLA dont care about my case thats for sure. 8 months wasted, 2 times filing with OPLA Boston, they just dont care. lawyer also piece of #$@ refused to file to the court, and adamant OPLA is the only way ( it is not). he also ghosted me. keep pestering. once a week i sent the same email, with the added subject : resend 1, resend 2, resend 3, and so on. 2 months later that lawyer gave up and called me with excuses. i said i dont need ur excuse, just file the motion to the court. amd when u going to file? tell me the date, and not "soon". FYI, my case is active and not admin closed. it's at the docket. i already wrote my own motion (spouse still adamant for me to find a new lawyer ) and ready to fire him. lawyer filed, 3 weeks later, my motion has been terminated (finito and not admin closed) and dont go with AP especially if u are still in the court. u have been waiting for so long, why do u want to risk it? people on the internet who said " it's ok, just go" cant help u when CBP wont let u in

once u paid the fee for each person (advisable to pay before they entered and not after), and that person has entered USA, it might take few months. few months can be 3-9 months. why? because USCIS can do anytime they want without any exact timeline

what is VPN anything to do with ticket? does ur fiance have K1 visa? if she does, you can buy one way ticket

someone i know literally just got approved i-601 this month June 2024. she filed it 17 months ago after it got requested during interview in US local field office ( not consular processing)

i will keep the e-ticket, ticket, boarding pass etc that shows you are indeed complete ur trip to go to the states on top of going to closest CBP office (usually in big airport). you wont get i-94 since ur visa is immigrants visa. only non immigrant visa get i-94 online

if you have a confirmed ticket and just cant check in on app, it doesnt mean you will be check in by them the last. even if it's full flight, you should have confirmed seat, unless you are on standby which i think u dont. just go there earlier

yeah it look the same. but you need to update ur citizenship / naturalization status. you wont get any issue because u already have the unrestricted one now yes, thats new form started in april 2024

me. i went once but i called and called and called until they became familiar with my voice and issue. took me roughly 2 months to get the unrestricted.

go to SSA office, wait at least 10 business day if you just got naturalize and not before

show ur passport and tell them that's the correct name ( related with the visa later on)

1. yes 2. ur W2 3. just use i-864. thats uscis want

2-3 months is normal for GC to arrive

U mix Asylum / CBP app with global entry. Global entry program is DHS program and you need to be eligible to even apply. Many American can’t even get global entry due to their past let alone non American who’s present it’s not even in the states right now. To be able to receive global entry, a person need to do interview in person inside US. How she’s gonna do that if she’s not even in the US? Let say she’s in the US, how she be eligible to apply for global entry? And why she need global entry if she’s inside the US? A person need to be in status to apply for global entry. Asylum seeker with pending status is not eligible. Pending = limbo.

Should be pinned 💪

you dont need to come to the interview. it's not mandatory for consular processing

i would wait. im the unlucky one, even waited 10 days, DHS aka USCIS didnt update my GC status. after i went to SSA office, took me 2,5 months to get the unrestricted SSN. when employer asked me to update my I-9 i just gave them my DL and unrestricted SSN. the end. super easy i refused to show my GC for job related (that's my choice) you dont need to wait to find a job if u already have SSN that's restricted.

can always file AOS to USCIS while in removal proceeding, but USCIS cant adjudicate i-485 until removal proceeding terminated. once removal proceeding terminated, go back to USCIS to reopen i-485. seems for some reason USCIS didnt catch it while OP AOS'ing but catched it on n-400

i agree. i dont even think they think about it. to live in the US especially not in sanctuary cities is tough without last name. in LA, NYC is common to see : FNU, LNU, No name GIven. but then in another states, with that FNU as surname its not easy to open bank account, get a job etc because its weird.

do you have any response from ur university? i was wondering if they can write affidavit letter stated that your degree is equivalent to master degree or doctor in Vet. i have similar case but totally different issue with LSAC ( LSAT operator) here in the US. LSAC refused and just ignored me unless i provide what they think its the only correct one.

ouch indeed ! maybe they are getting better with it, but TBH i literally just heard a friend of a friend of a friend told me he applied for asylum. this person has no last name ( typical indonesian), and just added a new "last" name, and guess what? EAD came with a brand new spanking name. i was wondering how this adjudicator actually did "background" check. so the discrepancy between last name and combination of different A# is the problem thats why i think USCIS didnt catch it when someone is in removal proceeding. As far as i know, n-400 background check is something else. i just found out a month ago when a friend of mine got n-400 interview. IO asked 4 times if she has a different name, and she said NO. until he said a different last name and then it hit her. ex husband use his last name as her last name ( not legal name) ONCE 20 years ago for health insurance and USCIS actually catch it. cant blame her she dont remember because ex husband has no legal documentation to add the name on the insurance and it only used once. lucky she still got approved and get same day oath ceremony

i wont say i am lucky if im in your shoes since at the moment u hit a road block. get a good deportation lawyer, not just a "lawyer". go to the court and ask around. usually there are plenty of deportation lawyer who always in the court doing cases for their client. u want that lawyer and not just immigration lawyer. there are couple of story when some people have different A# ( i understand alien # is assigned for life, but in practice, many people got a new one because they dont disclosed the old one) that's why their USCIS case and court case arent connected

No ! U might get hearing date a year from now. Get a lawyer to file motion to reopen and motion to terminate ! Better do it now before we got new president ! how did you get ur GC ? Normally GC won’t be approved if ur case is admin closed in court
