I wonder if this money couldn't be better spent at home, on something like energy research...

Congratulations! This must be such a load off of both of your shoulders. Peace be your journey!

For 12 + 13, not sure what is the confusion. Simply state where you're living, and where you'd like mail sent.

Joanna is spot on. My cousin was involved with a similar incident, and the same thing happened.

Yes, it might be cheapest and easiest to just re-take the written exam at the DMV and get a US license. It won't cost too much. The worst part will be waiting in line.

Yes, this is normal. And it is the best idea to keep the letter with the GC at all times. Peace be your journey, and enjoy your family!

It's not a big deal, you will receive everything in the end. Have to say I love your signature image!

You're going to need at least $2,000.

Laduque's right, you should be OK w the passport.

No, you should be good to leave:)

If it were me, I would spend the extra money on the K1 so I could spend more time with my partner. But that's just me!

I think the issue with the SSN depends on this: when you're filling out your taxes, they don't ask about what you've earned since the past APRIL, they ask about the previous CALENDAR year, Jan 1 to Jan 1. Am I correct on this?

Yes, it is very normal for insurance companies to ask for a SSN. They want to make sure you don't default on your payments, and if you do, they need to be able to slash your credit score, which is tied to your SSN!

Poster, I'm somewhat unclear as to what you're saying is good news, can you clarify?

It could depend on a variety of factors, and it may not help that you are from Colombia. But if you have everything ready and are respectful of them no matter how obnoxious they are, that will be your best strategy.

How did this work out for you? Have you been approved by NVC??

Congratulations and best of luck on your journey!

Certainly having ~4.5K USD debt on a credit card is not a big deal for anyone; fiance, uscis, etc. It's not insignificant, but I wouldn't worry about it.

I think JustBob pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one. Her ties to the US are too strong, and once she's in, it will be hard to get her out if she doesn't want to leave. And she might just decide to live with her daughter in the US - this is a common case.

The idea here is that your brother needs to show USCIS that he's tied to Canada, and will not try to live permanently in the US, or to stay for an extended period.

You can pick up some textbooks on the way to the airport right now! Congrats

Seeking official legal advice in this case is going to be worth the investment. I good strategy will allow you to act confidently and swiftly, and to avoid unknown unknowns that could harm you the most.

Definitely don't indicate that you are the father. It's not worth the risk of them looking into it and finding out you lied. This would definitely result in a rejection and much trouble.

It doesnt sound like your cousin did any irreparable damage. How did has it ended up working out??

With regard to the capitalization issue, I'd advise using all caps. This is what most sites and services use.
