    Another thing to keep in mind is the date when he will be able to apply to become a citizen. If he wants to become a citizen, it might be a good idea to apply soon after that date...

    It was @JANETandLYLE, but there hasn't been an update in a while.

    Unfortunately, the immigration process is slow. Even if all goes smoothly for you, it is still going to be a while until they review your rebuttal and make a decision. Two months extra with for better odds seem to be worth it...

    A VJ member recently filed for their spouse's AOS after a good decade (can't remember). I will try to search to see if they have updated their timelines/been approved. I am sure it is not that uncommon, but it is also a terrible way to live as an immigrant/family

    Congratulations! Happy they did not request any transcript. It is so much easier to hop to another job once you have that first one. Best of luck!

    How/when did you become a permanent resident?

    Do you mean the interview letter? The welcome letter, in my personal experience, was given to me AFTER the interview by the consular officer.

    I would consult with an attorney. The child will be considered yours legally. Source: https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/adult-child-serv/child-sup/how-do-i/establish-paternity

    The instructions for each form are clear about which copies to submit. Keep the original/certified copy handy for the interview.

    About the bolded part, how do you know for sure? I would also prepare a plan B.

    I think it is even possible to request an urgent Advance parole document to travel, with documents to support the emergency need...

    Having worked in a very similar situation, I can assure you that some of the support on site is staff shared between agencies, so they will all enjoy the cuts. I would not be surprised that they will also reduce the numbers of posts where visa are issued. It is great to see people getting what they voted for.
  14. Lemonslice
    Awesome - that will speed up visa issuance, I am sure!

    You could also add your spouse as a beneficiary to your financial accounts (bank accounts, retirement, investment, life insurance, etc.), that is usually easy enough to do online and you can screenshot the updated beneficiary. Please do not forget to update your timeline when you have a chance. https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=475016

    Others have had their partners visit in a third country closer to the US, this might be another way for you to see each other/easier itinerary for you (from memory, @devusr lived in the Caribbean for a little while). 8-hour layover in JFK sounds nightmarish, please let us know if we can help you find a smoother path to destination.

    Are the lawyers who are saying it won't matter advising you on how to make make sure "it does not matter"?
  18. Lemonslice
    What kind of insurance do you currently have for yourself?
  19. Lemonslice
    The thing is that entry is always at their discretion... so they get to decide what is "abuse". I am not judging your reasoning, just saying that what you think does not matter, really.
  20. Lemonslice
    Others will have better answer than I do to your questions. However, you might want to would look at the benefits of your husband applying for citizenship earlier (when eligible) rather than later.
  21. Lemonslice
    That is why I said "in general". I would not be surprised if another wave of reduction in services were to be announced soon.
  22. Lemonslice
    I hope OP gets it now 🤷‍♀️
  23. Lemonslice
    A few other documents would work, but in OP's situation, passport and receipt should be ok. https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

    I do not want to stress @lacuuna, just make everyone aware to expect more controls than usual. I strongly recommend anyone with a Real ID DL to show that and only show extra documents if asked.

    The airlines are usually not going to ask . However, three times in the last month Border Patrol was checking documents at my gate before boarding. I have seen it in the past, but I don't remember it happening more than twice a year. They have, and they do, control immigration status. Same goes for some roadside check points.
