‘Too much sadness’: asylum seekers in Finland caught in geopolitical drama Moayad Salami crossed from Russia after treacherous journey from Syria – but now the border has closed https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/11/too-much-sadness-asylum-seekers-in-finland-caught-in-geopolitical-drama Saleh al-Meri, Salami’s roommate, crossed into Finland from Russia at around the same time. The 25-year-old graduate from Yemen was studying in Russia when he made several unsuccessful attempts to enter Poland via Belarus. He returned to Russia after having problems with his leg, which contains a bullet from a gunshot wound sustained in Yemen in 2019. After paying a taxi driver $400 and being charged another $250 for a bicycle, he crossed the border on 17 November. After the border closure, four of his friends tried to follow the same route but were killed in a taxi crash in Russia after they were refused entry to the border. “There’s too much sadness about this story,” he said. In Finland, he wants to do a master’s, and to bring the rest of his family over from Yemen. He is especially concerned for his father, who is wanted by Houthi rebels. “I want all my friends to come here,” he said, adding that many have been forced to stay in Russia after the closure of the Finnish border. “One of my friends is already in jail because his visa expired and they said they will send him back to Yemen.” French left and right unite to stop migration bill https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67683314 MPs from the far right, far left and moderate right and left voted on Monday to reject the bill. The government says the bill aims both to control immigration and better integrate migrants. The left argues its measures are too repressive, while the right says the version presented to parliament is not tough enough. The bill would make it easier for the government to expel migrants who are sentenced to prison sentences of five years or longer and make it more difficult for migrants to bring family members to France, among other measures. It is, however, significantly more lenient than a draft proposed by the Senate, the upper house of parliament which is dominated by the right, which would have severely reduced access to healthcare and benefits for illegal migrants.

With DCF essentially you are asking for a favour, it is up to them if they decide your particular situation meets the requirements.

The vast majority of people in your situation have no issue

Catfishing? Trying to stay up to date.

I must admit I thought this was going in a different non VJ ToS friendly direction,

It seems the ADIT stamp would meet your needs. And sounds like you need to file a new I 90.

You can never be certain but I doubt ESTA will be impacted. If in the future you do decide to marry then yes you are looking at filing an I 130 and maybe 18 months.

There is no national timelines for N400, they can vary significantly by office and how busy they are.

People shrink with age.

The more petitions the better especially when dealing with long processing times.

Perhaps the OP is very wealthy

South African citizens under the age of 18 years are exempt and do not require to apply for dual citizenship, as long as they acquire the foreign citizenship before their 18th birthday. They automatically retain their South African citizenship for life unless, once they have reached the age of 18 years and they then wish to acquire a further foreign citizenship, they will then have to apply for prior permission to retain their South African citizenship. Failing to do so, they will automatically lose their South African citizenship. https://www.sahc.org.au/citizenship/Dual_Citizenship.htm

Yes

Can I move my UK pension to USA? Unlike in many other countries, there is no legal mechanism for transferring UK pension funds to the USA, in recent years many holders of UK pension schemes have transferred their funds using what was then a QROPS and is now a ROPS (Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme) via an offshore location, typically Malta.

You have gone past it.

Then you have your answer

Did he file the I 130 nearly 20 years ago?

Long time since I looked at this but back then I think it was a million plus. I will remember the acronym and look it up.

There was someone on here from Cabo, very small Consulate and it can take time. COVID is no longer a real issue, lots of other reasons.

I used to know this stuff and I doubt anything has changed. There is a sort of route, well if there is a lot of money involved.

You would have no basis to stat legally in the US.

Tell the truth

F4 22APR07 you would think you will not age out and zero issue renewing your passport.
