    That does not apply to a K-1.  That is for immigrant visas.

    inloveVEN reacted to Imperium in Oath Ceremony time is wrong   
    ***UPDATE***
    I have recieved a notification of Oath Ceremony schudule on my USCIS account. The PDF copy also lists that address of the FO as the location of Oath Ceremony. As few people suggested, it appears that this USCIS FO administers Oath onsite. 
     
    Thank you everyone for your insight.

    hi
    needs your Oath ceremony to be held at the Courthouse? most of the ceremonies are held at USCIS office unless it  is needed to be done by a judge like if you are requesting a name change. I think there is no mistake when you arrive they only allow you to attend at the time shown in your invitation but if it makes you feel comfortable  ill would also arrive at 9;45 am at the Courthouse but honestly if you were to attend at the Courthouse your invitation should say Courthouse
     
    Congrats!

    I don't really think is needed this rude answers in this site.
    The problem is not the tourist visa, the problem and is what i could understand is to come to the USA and wait here for the approval. 
    And I insist there are other places to answer in this way

    inloveVEN reacted to SalishSea in What country allow marriage first cousin k1 was denied   
    Right......   so, simply marrying and submitting another petition is not going to fix that problem.
     
     
    The thing that strikes me is that USCIS/DOS is going to be VERY suspicious about a first cousin marriage between people who do not come from a country or culture where that is a normal thing.  And like you said, it is illegal in Guatemala, and therefore not normal there.
     
    I don't see how you will overcome this.
     
    It may be legal where you live in the United States, but because you're not from Pakistan or another country where it is common practice to marry a close relative,  it will be heavily scrutinized.

    inloveVEN reacted to Mike E in Is it okay working outside the US remotely for a few months?   
    If your employer doesn’t provide health insurance that covers you, your wife; and your newborn then you don’t have a “really good offer”. And if your out of pocket cost for delivering a baby is $5000 you don’t have a good offer. 
     
    Once you enter the USA on your immigration visa, you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR). While you are not supposed to be continuously absent for 181 days or more, that has nothing to do with expiration date of your visa.     
     
    This said, LPR status  is for living in the USA not working and living outside the USA. While I don’t agree with your rationale for leaving the USA, if you want to proceed with this plan, then file for a re-entry permit (I-131) since your plan will break continuous residency.

    inloveVEN reacted to breadlover408 in Opened bank account / no SSN yet   
    Thanks so much - 
    So apparently they called me up and said they can't process the W8 (although they tried) because I am eligible for W9 / system says I have to fill out W9 since I have been in the US for X days.

    But I explained the situation again...and in the end they just said I don't have to submit it now, but only submit it when I do get my SSN number (to which I reminded them soooooooon), and they said they will just hold back some. credit % of my savings account (which I opened up too). I was like ok cool, that's a better optionn.

    Because I originally received a letter stating I will get fined if I don't submit the tax form, so I questioned them about that - and they said "oh the fine is actually from us, not the IRS".

    Oh well...I guess that's just that.
    But yeah I guess they don't understand too much about K1 and AOS...

    p.s. - am not even using funds in this card atm - just hooked it up to my Apple account for $0.99 cloud storage fee/month. That's it...LOL!

    inloveVEN reacted to Scandi in USCIS didn't update address from online AR-11   
    It seems fairly "rare" that an address change actually goes through with USCIS. So you're not alone, millions of others have had the same issues, me included. It has been recommended by other from members to send the form in the mail instead of changing the address online. 
     
    You don't have a pending petition/application right now I assume, so  the address change issues won't affect anything. If USCIS believes you haven't lived in the district you are filing your N-400 from for at least 3 months before filing, then you just show them proof such as utility bills, lease etc.

    If the 287g program is still in effect, and if the domestic policing agencies are part of it, they're able to help CBP & ICE.
    I once actually phoned a CBP port to ask what happens to an LPR in that instance.  The agent said, "We can detain you for as long as it takes to determine who you are."  That sounds far less fun than flashing your green card and being waved along.

    You are supposed to have it on person. Do whatever the heck you want but that advice given was SPOT ON. Yes, there is a risk of losing it...but again, there is a risk of every bad thing in the world happening to you. Feel free to take your chances. I guess I am not a fan of the snide and sarcastic comments being made about what are YOUR requirements (that you agreed to) for being an LPR. Just follow them! /offsoapbox

    inloveVEN reacted to beloved_dingo in Physically Present Rule   
    Assuming my counting is correct, I get the following:
     
    11/2/17 - 4/12/18 = 161 days out of U.S.
    5/30/18 - 10/18/18 = 141 days out of U.S. 
    2/21/19 - 8/6/19 = 166 days out of U.S. 
    10/2/19 - 3/10/20 = 160 days out of U.S. 
     
    So these are less than 6 months, which is good. But I am not sure about the very small amount of time she spent in the U.S. between these trips. Someone more knowledgeable needs to chime in. However, this is what USCIS has to say:
     
    An applicant for naturalization has the burden of establishing that he or she has complied with the continuous residence requirement, if applicable. Generally, there are two ways outlined in the statute in which the continuity of residence can be broken:[9]
     
    The applicant is absent from the United States for more than 6 months but less than 1 year; or The applicant is absent from the United States for 1 year or more.
      An officer may also review whether an applicant with multiple absences of less than 6 months each will be able to satisfy the continuous residence requirement. In some of these cases, an applicant may not be able to establish that his or her principal actual dwelling place is in the United States or establish residence within the United States for the statutorily required period of time.[10]
     
    An LPR’s lengthy or frequent absences from the U.S. can also result in a denial of naturalization due to abandonment of permanent residence.

    inloveVEN reacted to Mike E in Is it okay if beneficiary gets Canadian PR while K1 is in process?   
    A contrarian answer from me, as usual. 
     
    As I am dual citizen, when my then fiancée’s CO asked her in her K-1 interview, did she plan to live in Canada or the USA, my fiancée was quick on the uptake and immediately said: “USA”. Hence her K-1 visa was approved.  
     
    If the CO is aware you have or will have Canadian PR, expect to be asked what your plan with status is. Consider your answer carefully, and produce one that is both credible and not likely to cause your visa application to be denied. 
     
    And no we don’t plan to live in Canada.

    This is not very constructive and does not answer the OP's question.
     
    Doctors and lawyers may have confidential client information.  Corporate employees may have confidential emails.  Or it could just be a matter of privacy, like discussing medical conditions with close family.
     
    @BananaShoes, from what I've read, yes, you can refuse to give CBP access to your phone/laptop. But you can be detained for a while and CBP will give you a hard time.  You can request a lawyer, but, unlike US police and courts, CBP is not obligated to provide you one.  And if you are not a USC or LPR, you can be refused entry.

    I agree with the above posts. It could be ignorance on the part of the employer or it could be some kind of discrimination, which is obviously illegal. The only question they can legally ask is "Are you authorized to work in the US?" and if you are offered the job, usually they will ask for some kind of proof of this.

    according to several post here at VJ, you can go to your nearest USCIS office and they can correct it in case of any mistake. But you are right you should receive IR1 instead of CR1
