would love to see this happen but i am so hard on people who do applications from Morocco i have upset some

so, let us know how it turns out 

i would love to see a discussion on immigration changes (like now they do the scan of documents for NVC as this was so much easier than getting origianls from a foreign country and mailing them in)   So,  what other changes are coming?

I'd suggest having like four or five topics for any single meeting to prevent a free-for-all of discussion and talking over each other. Someone should "moderate" to keep everyone on point. My $.02

So... no WhatsApp or FaceTime then (which would be overcomplicated anyway).  I mean, for the rest... whether it be Zoom or Teams or Hangouts or even good old Skype, your account only has the info you put into it, right?  So you can be as anonymous or unanonymous (not a word) as you like... right? Or have I unwittingly and unintentionally been broadcasting my personal information some way I'm unaware of? 😬 

 

I'm in, by the way.
