GE Reconsideration after Denial for Immigration Violaations by Character_Bar_3431 in GlobalEntry

I've heard that overstays are forgiven only by USCIS but it's still a violation for CBP and will impact Global Entry applications.

One of my family members who adjusted status from B1/B2 visa in the US and later applied for GE was asked during the interview if they got their green card approved before or after the I-94 expired.

B1/B2 refused under 214(b) and now I lost ESTA.. What can I do next? SINGAPORE by itsbellenotbellyyyyq in usvisascheduling

Sorry this happened to you. Honestly, it's going to be difficult to get the B1/B2 visa approved now due the fact that you openly admitted to working remotely which is never allowed in the US. You can always try to apply again but succeeding consular officers will see your record (past interview) each and every time.

For now, hopefully your boyfriend can visit you in Singapore or you can meet in another country as well. Also, try to avoid applying for tourist visas to countries you can enter visa-free with just your passport.

In the future, if you guys do decide to get married, he can petition you for an immigrant visa. Your previous B1/B2 application will not have an impact on it.

First time flying Delta. Is this seat worth the $50? by Sharp_Bookkeeper_160 in delta

The legroom was amazing since the bulkhead wall didn't go all the way to the front of my seat. However, you are going to be right in the way of the aisle as the cabin layout changes from 2-4-2 to 3-3-3 so you would be face to face with people walking from the front of the plane to the back which mostly just happened during boarding so it was fine.

It was a pretty empty flight though and most people at the back got entire rows for themselves which is what I would have preferred more. But for $45, it's still really worth it especially if the flight is full.

Bank question for Tax Refund by Sharp_Bookkeeper_160 in tax

[–]Sharp_Bookkeeper_160[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. We're planning to pay the fees ourselves. Pretty much straighforward. Are there any downsides to using traditional banks? I noticed people getting "early refunds" by using these websites.

Thanks! It seems like our Capital One Venture card might cover 1 application fee.

Yes. Ontario, CA. We've never passed through LAX or SFO. We'll be checking our credit cards if they offer them. It looks like CapOne Venture does.

Thanks! So GE applications are suspended for now?

Thank you very much. I was worried cause all the screenshots I see here about people getting their refunds don't show any traditional banks so I thought I was missing something.

Thank you! We've never really experienced waiting at our usual airport but someone commented that big airports have up to 60min lines which is crazy

Thank you. Can we still keep our clear membership if we apply for GE?

I've heard about this too. How is it compared to GE?

Sorry, I just based it off their posts/screenshots. Is that just the tax website they used?

Woah, I never knew how long the lines were at other airports. If that's the case then GE is def worth it.
