    this is 100% true, but ironically they actually DO provide a calculator!! Wish more people would use it! https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator

    it was rejected cos you filed too early. 90 days before Nov 13 is August 15th. That’s the earliest you could have filed. this is yet another reminder to others in similar situation. Why try and hit the perfect date when it makes very little difference given how long the process takes. File at 75-80 days before and remove any doubts or chance of this happening.

    think of it another way. Hundreds of thousands of business travellers take files, paperwork documents etc on planes every day! (Including me). Immigration don’t ask or care what they are provided they’re scanned and safe. This is no different. absolutely no issue at all.

    the co sponsor is responsible, financially for you for 10 years, or until you become a US citizen, if you decide to. there is no getting away or ‘signing’ that away. That’s the legal position.

    I had a couple of different tetanus jabs growing up as I seemed to have a habit of falling out of trees and/or scraping myself on nails climbing things!! However nothing since being in my late teens (was 45 when I did visa medical) CDC (and most heath providers) say you should have one every 10 yrs so if you’ve not had one in that window, you’ll need another. tbh out of all of them needed, this was the one I had least issue with/could see the benefit of. Maybe I’m secretly still longing to go climb a tree again…

    I went through London and these were the ones I had to get (I had a blood test for chicken pox which I’d had as a kid) so didn't need that one.

    What do you think they need?! They want your SSN, ID like a passport and proof of address (which is often the hardest to prove) from a recognised source (rent contract, other financial institution etc). that’s all they want. They don’t care or even want anything from your previous accounts etc

    correct - your credit history from home doesn’t count in US so it’s like you’re a brand new person. does your partner have a credit card? It’s super easy to be added as an authorised user if so and you’ll gain credit score and build yours up much quicker (assuming your partner’s score is good)

    once you enter on K1, you are there until it’s all completed. It’s one reason why the cr1/ir1 is often a much better option for almost everyone. You can literally leave the next hour after entering with it, if you so choose and it’s still all fine. Gives you much more flexibility.

    hi 5 feels tight but is certainly possible. Ultimately it’s down to VM to turn the docs around etc so if they think they can in that, they should know. I left a lot more than that but I had to get a couple of shots done after my medical before they sent mine across and it only took them a few days once I’d submitted the proofs. remember this though too. Worst case they’re not processed in time, this doesn’t stop the embassy doing the interview. They just complete your bit and wait for the docs then issue the visa. So either way it's not a major issue. i wouldn't worry

    exactly same for me. Created in word, saved as PDF. Did about 6 slides and around 4-5 pics on each. No issues at all
  12. Cw1977
    you got this! It’s a pain in the ### right now for sure but we’ve all done it and got to the other side. You can too keep positive

    maybe it was your boss trying to catch you out…
  14. Cw1977
    that’s fine. All those types of credit card are issued by banks. Not the airline. As you say, that’s a Bank of America credit card so perfect to use

    how big is the age gap? What someone thinks is large might not to another
  16. Cw1977
    I presume he has a credit card or two as well? Def get added as a second/authorised user. That will give you some strong paperwork if needed but CRUCIALLY it also helps with getting your credit score set up which you need in the US, even more than in the U.K. None of your uk credit history transfers to US so it’s like you’ve just been born! Def look at that for multiple reasons.

    Which state are you in? Most (40 or so) require a SSN to apply for your DL but not all.
  19. Cw1977
    you missed off ‘outgoing’ too. They look especially favourably on that…

    without getting too political, Trump has said many things he then never followed through with!
  21. Cw1977
    you don’t! speeding tickets don’t have to be declared. I have several over the years, didn’t mention them and I have my green card without issue.
  22. Cw1977
    as others have said, no impact, but don’t forget the winner doesn’t become president for over 2 months after the election anyway (Jan 20th 2025) so well after you’d enter the country it sounds like.

    hi just to point out you absolutely can get married on a tourist visit (ESTA) and many people on here, including me did exactly that. you just have to come home after your tourist visit and then file the proper paperwork to start the process to move

    it is almost the best thing you can buy!!! not only does it make entry WAY quicker and easier but you also get TSA pre check so security at the other side for departures is much quicker too. The best money I’ve ever spent!!! just remember you need an interview for global entry so you’ll need to factor that time/location into the mix too. But get it. Please. It’s superb!

    751 is to convert a temporary 2 yr green card into a ten yr one (remove conditions on it). If he has a ten yr one anyway there were no conditions to remove. You are fine
