    Yeah, the whole thing is so laughable. North Korea can't even feed itself. I doubt they could manage to put together a vessel that was even sea-worthy enough to make the journey across the Pacific. Anyone who thinks that there is a chance that they could actually so dominate this country as to get us all speaking Korean has to have his head checked. Even if the US had no military at all, there's no way they could pull it off. Before they try to govern someone else's country, they should try figuring out how to govern their own.

    Illegal immigrants aren't the reason we have national debt. The reason we have national debt is because everyone in this country
    1. Wants to have a bunch of government services
    2. Wants to have an enormous imperialistic military stretched across the globe that is more expensive than every other military on the planet combined and
    3. Wants to have lower taxes so that we don't have to actually pay for numbers 1 and 2.
    That's the way it is, and that's the way it always will be, unless things come crashing down on us at some point.

    Wrong. First off, US military installations overseas are not US soil. After thirty years in the military, and seventeen of them overseas, I was briefed that at every installation. For example, american air bases in germany have a German base commander. Granted he does not get in the way of operations but it is a reminder that the base is a German air base on German soil. Same for Korea and other countries.
    Second, you daughter is a Natural Born citizen. If you feel like it, read the text by the Congressional Research Service on the issue. Here is a cut and paste from their research.
    The weight of more recent federal cases, as well as the majority of scholarship on the subject,
    also indicates that the term “natural born citizen” would most likely include, as well as native
    born citizens, those born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents, at least one of whom had previously
    resided in the United States, or those born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent who, prior to the
    birth, had met the requirements of federal law for physical presence in the country.
    You can read the entire thing here.

    No, it does not. The Constitution says that only natural-born (as opposed to naturalized) citizens can become president. As a child of a US citizen, your baby would be a natural-born citizen (provided that you have the residence requirements required by the law). Just to give you an idea, McCain was born in Panama.

    I do see a judgment here, twice - "you're looking to not pay for something you got." That's not how I read this. He didn't know if she was eligible. He DID ask, and was told no. He accepted that and was looking for alternate methods when *they* contacted *him* to say oh you're in luck, we found a way to get you covered. He thought, "oh, thank goodness" - not knowing that the way they did it was to falsify a piece of information that he clearly gave them *accurately*.
    Now, the issue is that if he had researched alternative ways, he would have gotten *assistance* with the situation, as someone in need of help because he did not have coverage. Anyone who has ever had a lapse in coverage knows that medical providers will work with patients of lesser means to assist them in meeting their obligations. Typically, they charge them quite a bit less.
    That didn't happen for OP, because medicaid told him he was covered. So his wife's care was billed at full price.
    Whatever you might think about the fact that different people pay different amounts for the same services, it's a fact. And the fact is, OP would have been billed less for everything had he used alternative resources to pay for the pregnancy.
    So now OP has been billed at the "insured" rate and is being told he has to pay back at that rate. When it's not his fault that he was billed at that rate - he was honest and legitimately believed he was covered. Now what he has to pay back is way more than what his bills would have been had medicaid stayed with their original judgment of turning him down.
    That is, in fact, not fair to OP, as it was Medicaid's mistake.
    He's not looking not to pay for the care. He's looking to pay what he *legitimately* owes - which is the reduced rate offered to under- or un- insured patients. There's nothing wrong with that.
    Just my 2 cents.

    Mike B. reacted to TnJ in Interview Question   
    One reason you see others saying that "it may make or break the interview" is because some countries are high fraud countries. These are cases when a couple must go a little above and beyond what most have to go through to prove a bonafide relationship. It shouldn't be of any issue in the UK as the UK is not a high fraud country. Many here have gone through the UK without the petitioner with success. I plan on attending our interview simply to give my fiancee support, and I just want to experience it with her. Generally speaking, a CO seeing a couple together can be beneficial in proving that a real relationship exists.

    No, that won't happen. I was trying to show that USCIS has no interest or jurisdiction in your automobile operation license. Your license doesn't "own" where you live. But maybe your confusion comes with the following statement: You do not "walk into" an office to file. If you read the instructions, all packages are sent via post to a Lockbox in Chicago. They will, months down the road, send your file to the office having jurisdiction over where you live (which is FL). Your license will never be a part of the process. Better?

    Yes, wow, some bad info in this thread. It bears repeating: If you are approved for your GC after your 2-year anniversary of marriage (which you say already passed), then you will be granted a 10-year card and will not need to remove conditions.

    You don't need to file anything. At the time that you're approved, you should get an 10-year green card automatically. If they screw up and give you a 2-year card, you can file I-90 for a replacement green card, without the fee since it's USCIS error.

    Mike B. reacted to JimVaPhuong in Expired Green Card and boarding issues   
    No airline will board a foreigner on a flight bound for the US unless the airline is convinced that the foreigner will be admitted when they arrive in the US. Airlines must agree to the DHS carrier terms when they fly into the United States, which includes an agreement that the airline will assume responsibility for accepting any passengers who are refused admission for a return flight to their point of departure, and the US government isn't obligated to pay for the flight. The airlines don't want to get stuck absorbing the costs of the return ticket, so they want solid evidence that the passenger has been authorized to enter the US. This means they check visas and green cards before they issue boarding passes.

    Regan,
    I've been following your posts, such as when you refused to read any information provided by USCIS, complained that people on here were being mean when they suggested you read the guides, and asked if one of us would put all of our life savings at risk by sponsoring you, someone we don't know, so you could continue to study. Now you are essentially asking for advice on how to mislead your grandfather into signing something.
    When I was your age, I was a totally immature wreck who spent my time sitting around drinking and goofing off, so I'm not one to judge. That being said, you're a married man and you are going to be a father in two months. My honest-to-god advice to you is to man up and approach these problems like a mature adult. Mature adults don't run around trying to downplay what their grandfather is getting into, nor do they say "the entire future of my family is on the line, but screw it, I don't want to have to sit around reading this #######!" Mature adults take charge of the situation and do whatever they have to do to make sure their family has it as good as it can get.
    I don't know what the solution to all of your problems it, and I wish you the best in resolving them, but it seems to me that you need to adopt a new attitude.
