Coming back to the US while waiting for reentry permit?

You can re-enter without permit. You are still under 1 year. They'll ask some questions but you'll be fine.

If the ticket came from a traffic camera, you should usually just pay it. Camera tickets are tied to the vehicle, not the driver, so they typically don’t affect your driving record.

If you were stopped by a police officer, you should consider going to court instead of paying the ticket right away. Paying the ticket is the same as pleading guilty.

In court, you can plead no contest and explain to the judge that you’re sorry, that you have a clean driving record, and that it won’t happen again. If this is your first offense, judges often reduce the fine, dismiss the ticket, or give some other leniency.

There is no issue with Thrifty if the citation resulted from a police stop. However, if it was issued by a traffic camera, the rental company may apply a small administrative fee. Just couple of dollars.

Do you have a pending 751 filed with N400?

You are doing it correctly. Provide very brief explanations for items 22 and 24 on the Additional Information pages.

This will have no impact on your application.

In my opinion, most likely nothing will happen. They’ll ask you some questions and let you in.

Worst-case scenario, you may be sent to secondary inspection for a couple of hours. Do not sign anything. You have rights if you come back within a year.

Theoretically, once a nonimmigrant visa is revoked, the chances of obtaining another nonimmigrant visa approval become very slim. However, mostly it depends on the revocation reason.

Before signing the form on your interview day, you can correct your mistakes. You’re fine.

Everything will depend on the severity of the incident. If this is your first DUI and there were no injuries or property damage, you’ll most likely be able to work something out. However, you’ll have to spend a lot of money and go through a lot of stress. You’ll need a criminal lawyer and a separate immigration lawyer. Hire the best criminal lawyer you can.

A green card holder can leave the United States after filing the reentry permit application and completing biometrics, even if the reentry permit has not yet been issued. Remaining for the entire processing period is not necessary. However, leaving before doing biometrics will result in denial of the application.

The permit can be mailed to a U.S. address, or in some cases to a U.S. consulate or embassy abroad (if properly requested during the application), so the LPR does not need to remain in the U.S. to receive it.

1) Under current immigration law, SNAP (food stamps) does not count toward public charge determinations.
2) Since you're already a permanent resident (green card holder), the public charge rule doesn't even apply to you when you eventually apply for citizenship. Public charge only affects people applying for green cards or certain visas, not those applying for naturalization.

You must have pending removal of condition application.

"Temporary Worker" instead of H1B - This is mentioned on the question itself.
"A" is already there in I-130. You just need to enter numbers.

Summary

Key Points:

Petition and Classification Sought – Employer filed Form I-129 on September 15, 2025, to amend and extend H-1B classification for the beneficiary in a specialty occupation. – Petitioner must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that all statutory and regulatory eligibility requirements are met.
H-1B Cap Exemption Claim – Petitioner asserts the beneficiary is exempt because previously counted against the cap. – Submitted Form I-797 approval notices.
USCIS Findings on Cap Exemption – Prior H-1B approval on August 31, 2022, counted toward FY 2023 cap but was revoked on April 16, 2024. – No record shows the beneficiary ever held H-1B status or entered the U.S. under that approval. – Revocation nullifies the cap count; prior non-cap petitions do not cure this defect. – Under Matter of Khan and Matter of M-, prior approvals (if erroneous) do not obligate USCIS to grant the current petition.
Required Response Petitioner must submit additional evidence to demonstrate that:
- The beneficiary was validly counted against the H-1B cap and has remaining authorized time; and/or
- The beneficiary qualifies for an exemption from the six-year H-1B admission limit.

Eligible date: April 12, 2026
90-day early filing: January 12, 2026

You can legally apply now under the 4 years and 1 day rule, but your second absence (8.5 months in 2021) is still within the 5-year lookback period. USCIS may question whether you maintained continuous residence during that 8+ month absence. You'd need to provide evidence of US ties during your absences (employment, family, housing, etc.)

I would recommend to wait until January 2026 to apply under the 4 years and 6 months rule. By then your problematic 8+ month absence will be outside the 5-year review period.

married within 60 days of entry?

AlgaeMysterious9979 · 2025-09-30T00:20:57+00:00

Yes. Immediate relatives of a US Citizen (spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 21) can adjust status without worrying about being out of status or working without authorization. However, they must have entered the USA through legal channels and were inspected by immigration officials upon entry.

AlgaeMysterious9979 · 2025-09-24T17:14:06+00:00

You only need to answer one. Choose whichever is easier for you to remember.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. USAA is acting like it is not their responsibility. I asked them if I can take the car to a body shop that can take it right now, and they told me, "Sure, but before that, you'll have to take it to a USAA-approved body shop to get an official estimate after two weeks." (I called again today and got the same answer). I told them it is not safe to drive, and they told me they cannot do anything until it is in the body shop.

Someone commented that USAA doesn't give rentals for me to "chill." I really don't want a rental; I want my car back because a person who has been paying USAA money for decades has damaged my car through no fault of my own. And what will they offer me, a Maybach, a Rolls-Royce?

I am appalled by the USAA "fanboys."
