Finally some common sense. What is even more interesting is the minority affirms their racist ideals. Supreme Court rejects affirmative action in ruling on universities using race in admissions decisions The U.S. Supreme Court handed down a major ruling on affirmative action Tuesday, rejecting the use of race as a factor in college admissions as a violation of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Many universities have argued that race-based admissions ensures that student bodies remain diverse, while critics such as the plaintiffs in the cases argue the policy discriminates against many qualified students based on race. Students for Fair Admissions, a student activist group, brought cases against both Harvard and University of North Carolina. The group initially sued Harvard College in 2014 for violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which "prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in any program or activity that receives Federal funds or other Federal financial assistance." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/supreme-court-rejects-affirmative-action-ruling-universities-using-race-admissions-decisions

I will echo the above responses, no need to delay filing the I130.

I suspect any firearms were disposed of into a garbage container.

No route for you to petition for the in-laws unfortunately.

I agree, time to focus on the N400 for the wife before looking at sponsoring the parents.

I may be normal particularly with countries where the US has no real diplomatic relations. Unfortunately there is nothing you can really do except wait and hope for a positive outcome. Good Luck!

The part I bolded is key. In the case of the Utah Zoom ceremony, the wedding is technically taking place in Utah, so it works for immigration once the couple subsequently meet in person after the ceremony. If you are already together, then you can file the i130 immediately after the marriage certificate is emailed to you. You can also do a courthouse wedding abroad, but it may take more time as many countries have unusual laws regarding foreigners marrying in their country. Overall, I agree with almost all others, the spousal visa is the way to go, it is a far superior visa, and the K1 no longer has the advantage of speed. This along with the red flag you mentioned already (unofficial ceremony looking very much like a wedding), may or may not cause you a headache in the future. I think you would hate to get to a K1 interview only to have a CO state you do not qualify for a K1 and tell you to start over with a spousal visa, and to my knowledge there is no appeal for a K1 denial. Good Luck!

A little off topic, but similar in thought. All those folks with the COEXIST bumper stickers must be happy that the alphabet mafia activists have brought together the Abraham religions for a common cause.

This seems to be the government site. https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id/where-to-apply-for-entry-permits-or-visas

Congratulations on your crossing the finish line!

Hmm, sounds like the CEO is still waffling, doesn’t want to hurt his ESG score, but wants to get customers back. Anheuser-Busch CEO refuses to say if he'd allow Bud Light's disastrous Dylan Mulvaney promo in hindsight "It's been a challenging few weeks. I think the conversation surrounding Bud Light has moved away from beer, and the conversation has become divisive. And Bud Light really doesn't belong there. Bud Light should be all about bringing people together. And there's an impact on the business, and I think that's publicly covered on Bud Light specifically," Whitworth said Wednesday on "CBS Mornings." https://www.foxnews.com/media/anheuser-busch-ceo-refuses-say-hed-allow-bud-lights-disastrous-dylan-mulvaney-promo-hindsight

How soon will the divorce be final?

Yes, the wife has flown through Dubai. She likes that airport.

There are pros and cons to either flying to the US and being denied or being denied at a pre-clearance airport. I tend to agree though that it would be best to route to UAE, then take a flight to Canada and cross by land.

Again, having many choices implies freedom from government central planning therefore they are against choices.

I would also recommend the UAE. I believe Abu Dhabi has pre-clearance to the US as well.

If you can I would, but also make sure they have a copy for the consulate.

Hmm, apparently someone Zelensky does not like. Now Lira is a USC, but I have not heard ABlinken, or KJP, or Kirby come out and say his is being illegally detained like they did for a certain someone in another country. Detaining Gonzalo Lira: Another blow to the freedom of press in Ukraine The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) arrested Gonzalo Lira, a US-Chilean national residing in Kharkiv, on suspicions of harbouring pro-Russian sentiments. This marks the second time Lira has been apprehended by the SBU. Lira, an author and filmmaker who relocated to Kharkiv years ago and married a Ukrainian, was initially detained in April 2022 but was released after a week without charges. He was subsequently instructed not to leave the city and prohibited from discussing his arrest. As reported by Ukrainian media, the SBU's statement accuses Lira of publicly justifying Russia's armed aggression, denying or glorifying supposed Russian war crimes, and undermining Ukraine's top military and political leadership and Defence Forces. On May 5, the SBU website published a statement in Ukrainian titled "SBU detained a foreign blogger in Kharkiv who denied the crimes of the Russian Federation and insulted Ukrainian defenders." The statement alleges that Lira was among the first to support Russian invaders and glorify their war crimes. It also accuses him of discrediting Ukraine's military-political leadership and Defense Forces. The SBU claims that Lira filmed provocative videos featuring Ukrainian defenders and insulted them. https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/world-int/23512-detaining-gonzalo-lira-another-blow-to-the-freedom-of-press-in-ukraine.html

It is amazing how little anyone really knows what is going on. I read a story Saturday or Sunday that said Putin would not take Prigo's call, then another story yesterday that said the exact opposite. If hisotry tells us anything, this is how mobsters act. Also, here is a little bit on the totalitarian Zelensky.

Hmm, the best at what? Influence peddling? The Bidens are the best I know at doing exactly what the Chairman wants from this partnership.

Yes it is, and only they (the WEF types) in their over-educated condition can understand it. So you must simply take it at faith (hmm... a secular Leftist religion?) and do what they tell you to do. You can buy any car you want as long as it is an EV. Or your child can decide to do whatever they want relative to permanently harming themselves with leftist talking points, but hey, they are not mature enough to own a gun, or drink alcohol. When all the Leftist ideals were just theoretical, I can see where some reasonable folks followed it and fell for the gaslighting, but what is their excuse now.

I suspect a Bernie Supporter and full blown Socialist.

Could have been, could have been a DoJ leak to stifle the Joe Biden political corruption news going on. Like a certain something everyone has, even transgendered folks, everyone has an opinion.
