Would anyone ask Laurel in the chat tomorrow?

I know this is a pain, so I apologize in advance and am very thankful to anyone who might can ask Laurel about this in the chat. Also, anyone who has an opinion is welcome to chime in.

I just got my I-130 approved and am building an outline for my HSL. My husband taught physics in Brazil, and from my research, should be able to continue that profession here without further education. I'm undecided as to whether to include that info and here's why:

Should I mention that if forced to move to Brazil, we would be unable to live on my husband's salary as a physics teacher of $x.xx, annually? (Even teachers in that rural area make nothing)

Would it be at all relevant to mention the need for teachers here, especially in sciences, since I know the hardship has to be to me?

I'm just wondering if it could potentially help or hurt my letter..

I think it depends on what else you are arguing in your case. Are you going to argue that you need your husband to support you here in the US? In that case, then yes, you need to prove he will be able to support you when he gets back. I imagine that Laurel will answer it depends on the facts of your case such as the example I gave above.....

However, I don't think it will hurt to mention this info so long as you can prove the salary that he would make in Brazil if you did want to make his profession part of your argument.

I'll ask this today though...

Laura, can you also ask laurel this question?
Pertaining to the immigration laws and regulations, which is better when compared to one another, entering the US at a port of entry using someone's elses name or entering without inspection? I know that both of these entries make a person inadmissable but I was looking to see if there is any difference between the two in terms of defending or approving your waiver.
