lol no, it's good not to work for them. GC makes you eligible to work in the US, except few sensitive agencies (like NASA). Differences between GC & USC

Be aware that while TSA document checkers rarely inspect foreign passports for US visas, they do have the ability to do so. In some airports, especially near the Mexican and Canadian borders or on US islands -- but typically not a major airports, they work alongside CBP officers and will refer foreign passports to the CBP officer, who might infrequently also check passenger identification on jetways boarding domestic flights, which can trigger a deeper review.

There is no such thing in the US... ALL passengers arriving on international flights in the US must go through immigration, even if their final destination is not in the US.

Moving to the United States counts as an ACA qualifying life event, which means that your fiancé will be qualified to enroll in the individual marketplace of your state outside the open enrollment period (this is called a Special Enrollment Period or SEP). This means that in practice he will have 60 days after arrival to get health insurance on the individual marketplace.

Well a greencard holder is ineligible for most Federal benefits for the first 5 years. You will also promise the government that you will pay back the government if they do pay out any benefits for 10 years.

See here https://www.healthcare.gov/immigrants/lawfully-present-immigrants/ for a decent overview. Also see the Arkansas Medicaid pamphlet on the issue http://www.arlegalservices.org/files/FSMedicaid.pdf.

You can buy your mother health insurance through the marketplace.

>last section. 'Applying for Medicaid or CHIP, or getting savings for health insurance costs in the Marketplace, doesn’t make someone a "public charge." This means it won’t affect their chances of becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident or U.S. citizen.

> There’s one exception. People receiving long-term care in an institution at government expense may face barriers getting a green card.

If you're not inside the US, US visa rules don't apply, so the consulate doesn't care.

You can ask a lawyer about taxes, but googling contractor american company tax brings up a Quora post If I am a Non US citizen but working for a US company from my home abroad, do I have to pay US taxes? and the first answer is

> If your only income from the US company is from compensation for services performed for that company, and you performed no services for the company while physically present in the US, you will not be subject to US taxes on that income. See Publication 519 (2011), U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens.

So I think you're in the clear. (I am not a tax lawyer or accountant.)

People are basically judged on whether they speak roughly a third-grade level of English. If they do not understand specific words during the interview, they can ask the officer to rephrase it. "Have you ever claimed to be a USC" can become "Have you ever told anyone that you are a citizen of the United States?" Some people get stuck on the word "claimed" for instance.

The context and background of each question is less important. They will not be asked why the Federalist Papers were written. Just who wrote it.

If you are looking to give a general English language learning tool, I would suggest a tool like https://www.duolingo.com/ It will have a built in natural progression of learning English.

Yes, but:

• be sure your passport is not expired
• be aware that while TSA document checkers rarely inspect foreign passports for US visas, they do have the ability to do so. In some airports, especially near the borders, they work alongside CBP officers and will refer foreign passports to the CBP officer, or will infrequently check passenger documents on jetways boarding domestic flights, which can trigger a deeper review. So be sure that your status and documentation will not lead to difficulties, as other comments have mentioned.

In practical terms, I think it's 50-50 or worse whether the CTA (UK & Ireland) and Schengen countries are removed from that list by September.

As US case counts remain high or rise, there pressure remains low on Trump to allow "foreigners" to enter the US.

Based on your earlier posts, you hope to receive a K-1 soon. But it may be unlikely the US Embassy London will even hold K-1 interviews until the UK is removed from the physical presence ban.

You two may want to consider other options, like quickly getting married in a very small ceremony in a country that you can both enter, and then filing for the CR-1 spousal visa. (If that's not possible, there are even more unusual options, like proxy (remote) marriage in certain US states, followed by entry into the US, marriage consummation, and a CR-1 filing)

The physical presence ban does not apply to the spouse of a US citizen.

You could wait on the big ceremony and reception until you arrive in the US, and once the bans have been lifted.

u/jim_blake, I'm pretty sure going back to F1 status to do grad school/PhD after your OPT expires would work fine. I know some friends who worked until OPT expires but then they went back to school and become a student again with a new F1 visa. However, there is a catch to this. If you are a STEM student and you have used your 17 months OPT extension, you will not be able to do this again after you graduate from the grad school/PhD you are doing (Each person is only given one chance of this in his/her lifetime). This means that you will only get the 12 months OPT, and NOT the 17 months extension after you graduate from your further education (grad school/PhD).

Also, currently the 17 months STEM extension is actually at risk of being erased from the regulation unless DHS does something about it until February 2016. Source: Link

I don't think your EB-3 application will still be in process, because EB-3 application is usually linked to the company you are working for. In this case, when you leave the company, your EB-3 application should automatically be invalid, since your company is the one sponsoring for your EB-3 application.

STEM majors are typically in demand in these countries. You will find many psychology BS majors in these developed countries. You could instead do computer science and easily get a job in Canada/Europe. Trust me don't go for a PhD its a pain in the ass and not worth the opportunity cost of the 4-6 years.

TLDR; Solve as many Leetcode.com questions as you can, get a BS in Computer science and your career is set. Needless to say I am Indian and all of us are either doctors/engineers.

Yes, that may be for the best.

The temperature in Mexico City is fairly temperate in July, usually in the mid 70s F (between about 23 C and 26 C), but it's a little unpredictable.

 

Separately, some H-1B positions in the San Diego area would be for critical industries like biotechnology or pharmaceuticals, etc., which might be related to the pandemic.

If so, you might want to contact US Embassy Helsinki and ask for an emergency visa appointment for the baby, because a baby cannot be left behind from the family and the H-1B is in a field critical to the US pandemic efforts.

Even if the H-1B position is not related to pandemic work, you might still be able to obtain an emergency appointment, because only the baby is missing the visa, and a baby should not be separated from its family, and the rest of the family should not be separated from the H-1B.

 

Also, I edited the answer above about the backup if land crossing at CBX were to be denied.

 

You're welcome and good luck

Is Air Serbia as reliable as Turkish Airlines? Air Serbia seems to be operating many fewer flights nonstop to the US via BEG airport (July 14 for $533, and then July 17 and later for $523), so if something goes wrong, it could leave you in a bad position.

Based on trends, it does seem like a possibility that another future travel ban could include Brazil, although Brazil has far fewer absolute and per-capita cases of COVID than many other countries. (However that number is rising fairly quickly, and the country's containment / mitigation efforts have not been as sharp as some other countries with cases.)

If you're concerned about your education and believe that you would need to attend in-person classes next Fall semester (in other words, that your university will not continue online-only classes then), you might want to stay put in the US.

This might also help you with more easily obtaining an Employment Authorization Document for OPT summer work, assuming you can find a job offer during COVID and that USCIS is processing applications in a timely manner then.

Which app are you using to 'scan' the documents on your iPhone?

Most faux-'scanning' software has options to set the resolution or DPI of the 'scan' that is taken.

For example, the popular CamScanner app for iPhone has a resolution setting that can shrink the size of a single page down to about 768KB.

Or are using simply taking photos of the documents using the iPhone's Camera app and then PDF'ing the photos?

Sorry, I was referring to this : https://letsencrypt.org/

looks like it isn't available until later this year, but does seem like an individual should be able to get certificates.

alt idea: what if you register your company out of your home country?

That was soo touching!! I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I'm trying to give a voice to people like us who can't vote. So I'm trying to crowd source all the ways in which the US election is going to affect us and what message you want to give people who can vote.

I think first you have to identify exactly what the "problem" is. I'm assuming you are talking about the massive amounts of migrants entering the country without admission and remaining. This is the problem most often cited.

People don't, for the most part, like migrating. Most much rather have opportunities in their own countries. The solution is not to allow everyone from developing countries into developed countries. That would be unsustainable and would leaving developing countries without development.

Migration is a symptom of a much larger problem. Over the last 100 years certain countries, mainly Europe and North America, have experienced large increases in development and quality of life, however other countries have not. The problem today is that people from less developed nations would like to migrate to developed nations in order to increase their own quality of life. The gap between poor and rich is what drives migration.

The solution is to try to increase the standard of living across the global so that migration is no longer an act of desperation. The immigration problem will never be fixed by adjusting immigration laws. The world must shrink the gap between rich and poor nations. I believe technology is making the world much smaller. Globalization is key.
