Re: DCF London Processing

I am curious if the pension can be assigned a present value so as to constitute an “asset.” I don’t know, but I do wonder.

Re: DCF London Processing

Sounds right.

(Here in CA many jabs are now administered in pharmacies. Having had measles as a child in 1961 I elected to have the blood test as part of my annual “wellness” exam. [“Wellness” is...

Re: DCF London Processing

Also, out of idle curiosity, why did you try to change the visa...

Re: DCF London Processing

BTW, the actual card is form “I-551.”

It should be emphasized that the green card is evidence of status. It is not the status itself.

(Also, I’ve heard gov’t types use “lapper” orally. Not...

Re: DCF London Processing

"Green card" is but a nickname for evidence of "admission to lawful permanent residence." It is a status known to immigration cognescenti as LPR.

If and when you are issued an immigrant visa and...

Re: DCF London Processing

General principal - never "presume" anything. I've learned that over and over again.

Not that I really vouch for the article, it did say all immigrant categories. IR's are under "all." Also, the...

Re: DCF London Processing

As per this link (https://www.rollcall.com/2020/06/12/administration-puts-hold-on-green-card-requests-from-us/) all immigrant adjustments and visa are now on hold. FYI, the government fiscal year...

Re: DCF London Processing

There is a link for “international offices” on the left. Then a link for the region including Europe. Then you will see London.

Back in the day I used to attend consular immigrant visa interviews...

Re: DCF London Processing

Why is it driving you crazy? You stated earlier that your I-130 has been approved. Thus you are done with US CIS for now. Also, if you drill down on the page, the London Office will close July 31,...

Good friend Ian-mstn is retired from these boards but I recall his frequent comment that tracking processing times was “the path to madness.”

Among immigration lawyers it was often noted the two...

Re: DCF London Processing

The new public charge form for immigrant visa is the DS-5540. The USCIS form is I-944. The USCIS form wants credit reports, it appears that the State Department form does not. It appears that health...

Look at pages 7-8 of this guidance (https://www.ilrc.org/sites/default/files/resources/intro_guide_affidavit_support-20180410.pdf) from CLINIC. (Note the guidance is from 2018 and is partly out of...

Re: DCF London Processing

It should be noted that enhanced “public charge” rules have come into effect. Unlike past practice, a legally sufficient I-864 will not, by itself, be sufficient to meet that requirement. This is...

Yep, acronyms can drive one crazy. I recall one colleague mentioning that a NIF was different than a NOF (don’t ask - nothing to do with marriage visas/adjustment.)

Re: DCF London Processing

As I said, I don’t know what will happen. But knowing who has authority I can envision the pending petitions being sent stateside. Again, I’m just saying it might happen.
