A lot of the "usual people" have gotten tired of this forum and don't feel the need to participate as passionately as they used to.

Also, some of us live on the West Coast and are asleep in the pre-dawn hours.

As a rule I refute any type of speculation.

There isn't much to say about topics like this. 0bama is running a race to be the least popular president in history. Anything bearing his name is like a hot potato in the political world.

I've noticed it gets slow at lunch time also.

We need to re-invigorate this forum. Someone start a thread to brainstorm some ideas while I'm at lunch.

Apples are more red than oranges. Who knew?

rolleyes.gif Not surprised but - You are ignoring the point = Health insurance premiums will likely skyrocket next year, despite the Obama administration’s consistent assurance that consumers will not experience sticker shock under the president’s health care law.

I am not refuting the article, so much as I am refuting the sophistry between the association.

Can you refute any of the statements I made? (I didn't think so...)

You refute the people determining & setting premiums ...wacko.png

In fact, insurers have raised rates on grandfathered - read: ACA exempt - plans as well. Bummer.

Has no bearing on 2015. Nice try but - Fail. Next....

I'm not ignoring anything but I am also not engaging in any kind of wild speculation.

Premiums will rise as they have for decades. That's #reality.

"Wild" is a stretch.

A 300% rise in 1 year ....ever? = Never.

You keep talking about a 300% rise. Where did that happen? And please keep it apples to apples.

I admire that you're even making an attempt.

Literally not a single one of those articles says where they got the 300% from and the worst that anyone can say there is that 'some insiders' say that rates 'may' go up.

This doesn't sound like doomsday, this sounds like someone trying to get a story where there isn't one, to me.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

March 13, 2014 Married!

May 9, 2014: Petition mailed to USCIS

May 12, 2014: NOA1.
October 27, 2014: NOA2. (5 months, 2 weeks, 1 day after NOA1)
October 31, 2014: USCIS ships file to NVC (five days after NOA2) Happy Halloween for us!

November 18, 2014: NVC receives our case (22 days after NOA2)

December 17, 2014: NVC generates case number (50 days after NOA2)

December 19, 2014: Receive AOS bill, DS-261. Submit DS-261 (52 days after NOA2)

December 20, 2014: Pay AOS Fee

January 7, 2015: Receive, pay IV Fee

January 10, 2015: Complete DS-260

January 11, 2015: Send AOS package and Civil Documents
March 23, 2015: Case Complete at NVC. (70 days from when they received docs to CC)

May 6, 2015: Interview at Montréal APPROVED!

May 11, 2015: Visa in hand! One year less one day from NOA1.
