The daughter would file both an I130 and I485 for each parent. See the guide linked. As to chances of success, probably pretty good as overstays are generally forgiven for immediate relatives, but who knows in this current environment. That being said, it will take quite some time to get to the point of an I485 interview, so who knows what will change. Good Luck

A great analysis of this ruling. On Benign Bigotry Voting “rights” have been distorted into something more: the right of black people to be represented by people of their same color (a foolish distinction given intermarriage and common humanity). This may have seemed a necessity at the time. It has now been the law of the land for more than 60 years, almost one-quarter of our time as a Republic…and I have a moral problem with it: It skirts the central doctrine of the Declaration of Independence. If all people are equal, racial distinctions of any sort should not be made. https://josephklein.substack.com/p/on-benign-bigotry

Amazingly difficult to find a story with a non-biased headline. Does anyone not believe anymore that the majority of "respected" media has gone radical left? Anyway, very important decision for basic human rights and the individual. Supreme Court strikes Louisiana map, reshapes Voting Rights Act April 29 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana's newly drawn congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander in a ruling that Democrats and civil rights advocates say gutted a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act. The 6-3 decision is expected to eliminate one of the two predominantly Black congressional districts established by redistricting after the 2020 census. Supporters of the redrawn map said it complied with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bars election practices that dilute minority voters' power, including by packing them into too few districts or spreading them across too many. Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, described Louisiana's map as an "unconstitutional gerrymander." "When §2 of the Act is properly interpreted, it imposes liability only when circumstances give rise to a strong inference that intentional discrimination occurred," he wrote. The ruling weakens the landmark Voting Rights Act passed in 1965 to limit racial discrimination in voting. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/supreme-court-rules-against-louisianas-congressional-map/ar-AA221aBW

Try hitting a sporting clay going left to right with a handgun. This is a key thing people don't seem to remember. Every bullet has a lawyer attached and if someone behind this radical was injured, there would be heck to pay, and quite possibly he did not actually present as a safe target so a body takedown was more in order which did happen. I am actually glad it did not get taken out like the PA shooter as it kind of makes those far left conspiracy theories sound farcical.

Since you are in the US now, yes, it is permissible. Hard to say as it is not up to me. Overall your story seems clear enough, but who knows what an IO will see. They may. Completely up to you. Personally, I am not a huge fan of AOSing from a B2... but it is legal. No Good Luck!

Miliband is a wanker. Why the UK and EU Keep Doubling Down on Net Zero Dogma in the Face of Spiralling Economic Dysfunction On Monday, GB News ran a story on UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband’s vow to “double down” on the government’s environmental agenda, whilst accusing opponents of the move to net zero of “making up nonsense and lies”. In a “strongly worded statement”, Miliband warned that abandoning the net zero agenda would not only risk “climate breakdown” but would also “forfeit the clean energy jobs of the future”. The hangman’s noose concentrates the human mind wonderfully, Dr Samuel Johnson once observed. But this evidently does not apply to the government bureaucracies ensconced in Westminster or Brussels. The oil price shock triggered by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz — “the world’s worst energy crisis in history exceeding the combined shocks of both the 1970s oil prices shocks and the Ukraine war” according to the IEA chief Fatih Birol -- has led the environmental justice warriors among the ruling elite to yet more muddled thinking. Econ 101 Anyone? Instead of applying basic economic principles — comparative advantage in international trade, portfolio diversification to manage risks, and marginal costs in commodity pricing — Europe’s elites have doubled down on their net-zero dogma. The theme is now familiar: the two great energy shocks of the past 5 years -- from the 2022 Ukraine war to today’s Hormuz crisis -- prompts not a return to economic rationality but a frenzied acceleration of the very policies that created the vulnerability in the first place. Economic illiteracy, it seems, is an incurable condition; those afflicted are immune to intervention by reality or logic. https://tilakdoshi.substack.com/p/why-the-uk-and-eu-keep-doubling-down

That is not clear based on the videos I could find, and yes whatever shots they fired were misses, but the fact remains they did apprehend him. We should keep in mind this was not a sterile situation, and we have no idea of the public that may have been around when this radical rushed in. Now certainly an after action report/review is warranted.

I think you meant to say Nancy.

Gotta have something when living in a monastery.

VDH is right, this is much more of a one sided political thing at this time and it is part of the mainstream of the Democrat/Left.

Hmm.

The Secret Service did keep this guy from actually getting into the ballroom from what I could tell. In that type of setting, that is about as well as to be expected as what you said about security in hotels is spot.

When did the SPLC become a law enforcement organization? Considering the SPLC needs to keep their grift alive with more donations, I suspect their motives for paying these folks is different than the DOJ/FBI or other LEOs.

What is your source? I saw PV and O'Keefe settled a lawsuit after believing someone's story of voter fraud which is not the same thing. But whatever, keep parroting those Democrat talking points.

What is your source that this is a false flag operation? Some biased M-SNOW pundit? One thing to me that blows up the entire false flag hypothesis is would a dedicated leftist radical really agree to work with this Administration?

Hmm, I thought all the violence was coming from those on the right of the political spectrum?

Ahmish?

Has it slowed down much? Processing times for an I130 are showing ~17.5 months for 80% of petitions which still falls in the 18-24 month window from filing to visa. As to how long to get an interview after the petition reaches the consulate, that is highly variable depending on the consulate. Good Luck!

I really sucks to pull up to a working fire and find the hydrant not working. Back in my FD days though we had a lot of areas not covered by hydrants, so we had to tank water often.

To continue the grift.

Not seeing a lot of similar cases in a search of this site, a few much older, but it does appear that you can do this on your own. I assume you have done some research already but here is the USCIS link showing what to do. The group here at VJ will help you anyway they can with any specific questions. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-eligibility/green-card-for-asylees

Interesting read. Of course there are a lot of opinions out there, and who really knows what will happen in the end, but I suspect in some way Iran's hardliners will be quelled. Iran Is Running Out of Time and Options As the negotiations in Islamabad between the U.S. and Iran have yielded no results and the April 22 ceasefire deadline approaches, the U.S. Navy has, as of Monday, April 13, established a blockade of Iran’s ports and coastal waters. Furthermore, as part of the blockade, the U.S. Navy is working to prevent vessels either flying under the Iranian flag or conducting trade with Iran from transiting the Strait or leaving Iranian ports, as demonstrated on Sunday, April 19, when the Touska, an Iranian cargo ship, was fired upon as it attempted to sail through the Strait. The blockade intends to both deter Iran from controlling traffic and enforcing an illegal toll, while simultaneously depriving the IRGC of the economic means of continuing its war effort. As a result, Iran has threatened to target other Gulf ports to pressure the U.S. to relent, and also fired at tankers trying to transit the Strait after it previously said that it would not prevent commercial vessel traffic from transiting the Strait now that there is a ten-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. Given how heavily reliant Iran is on the Strait for its economy, going beyond just oil exports, any amount of time that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to its ships will inflict substantial economic damage upon them, while simultaneously pushing its oil storage facilities to the brink. For the U.S., putting even greater pressure on Iran by blocking its access to the Strait of Hormuz, while working to ensure the security of all other vessels transiting it, may prove decisive in pressuring Iran to capitulate. However, the risk for the U.S. remains that the political will of those who support the current action being taken against Iran will continue to deteriorate the longer it takes and the more costly it becomes, especially at the gas pump. Simply put, it may become a race against the clock, since Iran doesn’t necessarily have to win; it just has to avoid losing. https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2026/04/21/iran_is_running_out_of_time_and_options_1177839.html

Why isn't the SPLC campaigning against the DSA?

Sounds like he survived by using some fairly preposterous logic.
