  1. Might be a small movement in the summer.
  2. There is nothing to suggest a I 601 would be a better bet in this case.
  3. I thought San Diego welcomed migrants SAN DIEGO (AP) — Hundreds of migrants were dropped off Friday at a San Diego bus stop instead of at a reception center that had been serving as a staging area because it ran out of local funding sooner than expected, showing how even the largest city on the country’s southern border is struggling to cope with the unprecedented influx of people. Migrants who previously had a safe place to charge phones, use the bathroom, eat a meal and arrange to head elsewhere in the U.S. were now left on the street as migrant aid groups scrambled to help out as best they could with makeshift arrangements. Border Patrol buses carrying migrants from Senegal, China, Ecuador, Rwanda and many other countries arrived outside a transit center. Migrant aid groups said they would be bused from there to a parking lot where they could charge their phones and get a ride to the airport. The vast majority planned to spend only a few hours in San Diego before taking a flight or having someone pick them up. “Are we in San Diego?” asked Gabriel Guzman, 30, a painter from the Dominican Republic who was released after crossing the border in remote mountains on Thursday. He was told to appear in June in an immigration court in Boston, where he hopes to earn money to send home to his three children. Abd Boudeah, of Mauritania, flew to Tijuana, Mexico, through Nicaragua and followed other migrants to an opening in the border wall, where he surrendered to agents Thursday after walking about eight hours. The former molecular engineering student said he fled persecution for being gay and planned to settle in Chicago with a cousin who had been in the U.S. for 20 years. “I’ve dreamed about this (moment) a lot, and thank God I’m here,” Boudeah, 23, said in flawless English. Volunteers gave instructions in English, Spanish and French to small groups, all of them single men and women. They used translation apps for other languages. “We’re going to cross the street together and line up,” a volunteer said into his phone, which then translated it into Hindi for a group of men from India. “Tired from the road,” Alikan Rdiyer, 31, of Kazakhstan, said in Russian as he waited for instructions to give to a friend from Los Angeles who was going to pick him up. The Border Patrol gave him a notice to appear in immigration court in August 2025 in Philadelphia — a city he hadn’t heard of. The transit center parking lot was full of cars, giving migrants nowhere to stand, and there were no public bathrooms. A taxi driver offered a ride to San Diego International Airport for $100, double what ride-sharing apps were charging. Some migrants dispersed in the neighborhood when volunteers were unable to reach them with instructions to wait on the sidewalk. San Diego County has given $6 million since October to SBCS, a nonprofit formerly known as South Bay Community Services, to provide phone-charging stations, food, travel advice and other services at a former elementary school. The group aimed to keep it open through March, but Thursday was its last day. https://www.ktsm.com/news/national/ap-border-patrol-releases-hundreds-of-migrants-at-a-bus-stop-after-san-diego-runs-out-of-aid-money/
  4. I think it is someone at USCIS having a laugh. I seriously doubt the I 130 will take 10 years but as I said not that important in the bigger picture.
  5. Does it matter? I 130s seem to take about 11 months but with a F3 there is no rush so may take longer. 20 years seems more reasonable.
  6. I thought you wanted to go to Turkey for MEdical treatment anyway?
  7. That was 5 years ago, obviously there is a route but any reason no action? You could have had your GC about now.
  8. https://www.hertzcarsales.com/used-electric-vehicles.htm?geoZip=80440&geoRadius=0 Hetz as we know are selling their EV cars and I just looked to see what they were going for, Model 3 for 25k ish with 25k ish miles, battery should be good for 200k miles. I have been looking at PV systems and OK not quite directly comparable but the prices I am seeing start at 30c a watt. A basic Tesla battery would be big enough to back up at least 2 houses, made me wonder of they will become a time when they are stripped for their batteries?
  9. F is like B a non immigrant visa.
  10. i assumed this was a financial hardship?
  11. I 130 When approved I 601a Go home for the interview and come back with an immigrant visa.. Not exactly unusual, seen this loads of times. Assuming the overstay is the only issue.
  12. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/B5en.pdf You file an I 131 to get a Reentry permit and that is something you do before you travel.
  13. K1 is not try and see, it is for people commited to marry and want to do it in the US.
  14. Do you have a reentry permit? Presumably your GC is current. What will take 3 months.
  15. You will not be seeing your BF?
  16. You need all that anyway but t will also tell you of you are in waiver territory.
