I wonder if Fauci, and Collins had anything to do with the funding.

Hmm, so Old Corrupt Joe was involved in the selling of Brand Biden through his influence. The Democrats are certainly trying to deflect as much as possible, so they must be getting close to the “Big Guy”. Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer confirms Joe was on more than TWENTY foreign business calls with his son to sell 'the brand' - but Democrat claims they were just talking about the WEATHER https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12356923/Hunter-Bidens-business-partner-Devon-Archer-arrives-bombshell-testimony-Joes-involvement-shady-business-deals-DOJ-accused-trying-jail-talk.html

Correct, right now signing up is optional, but I suspect there are others like me that will not choose to sign-up so eventually it will become mandatory.

Definitely can see this happening. I suspect there will be a push first to force everyone to get a connected thermostat, and electric meter so the government can control that.

Well at least we know Jack Smith is a biter like Commander, but I suspect Biden has more control over his political prosecutor.

Yes, I know, guilty until proven innocent. Kind of sad how the US criminal justice system works today particularly when it is a political prosecution. My understanding is this is how it works in some other countries. Btw, the Biden hoarding of classified documents was a much worse situation as these documents have been in his possession unsecured (next to the Vette, in the Chinese financed UPenn office, etc.) for years. Sure he gave some back after he had his lawyers with no security clearance review everything, and possibly scrub incriminating information, but sure keep believing Old Corrupt Joe was simply following orders (seems he wasn't following the rules when he absconded with the information). I do see you conveniently left off Hillary, I don't believe she returned anything, she in fact obstructed any investigation relative to erasing the server first. Whatever, Biden's lapdog Jack Smith will continue to pull charges out delaying this for years. It will be fun to watch.

Trump's proposed crimes (I know, you already have him convicted based on your hero, the much reversed Jack Smith), may have some merit as many have been prosecuted and convicted for handling what the government bureaucrats label as "Classified", "Top Secret", etc., but as usual you seem to show your acceptance of the two tier justice system which is what Roger Kimball was referring to. I agree with him, I laughed and laugh hysterically when the hypocrites like Jack Smith, or Garland, or KJ "diversity hire" P come out and profess "no one is above the law!". Well show us that is in fact true by prosecuting all high profile politicians for mishandling material our more and more oppressive government bureaucrats do not want us to see. Hillary sent her top secret info to Carlos Danger, Old Corrupt Joe spread his all over the place between DE and PA and let his lawyers and more than likely the Chinese without clearance sift through it (probably after Hunter). All these have merit, and yet we get one over zealous (yes, this has been demonstrated) carrying the water for the Biden's and going after Old Corrupt Joe's political opponent (hmm, sounds a lot like a Putin, or Zelenskyy, and yes, Zelenskyy is definitely jailing his political opponents currently in Ukraine). Anyway, I guess that is all fine with you as apparently you either turn a blind eye to the corruption, or you ignore it due to liking a Leftist regressive ideology. If the DOJ really wants to regain credibility with everyone, and not just the easily gaslighted, they need to start going after everyone the same way, and not give anyone regardless of their name or position a break. It should not have taken five plus years to investigate a tax cheat like the Biden family (hmm, is someone trying to run out the clock at the DOJ?). Whatever, more than likely deaf ears considering the desire for maintain "slow, steady and corrupt" in DC. Let them prosecute Trump (I wonder when Superman Jack Smith will argue for a change of venue to get this case to DC so he can get a gaslighted Leftist jury), I will still support him over institutional corruption in DC.

Don't really understand that mentality. Time to cut your losses and leave San Francisco.

That is "Dr. First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden" to peons and simians like you and me. She is definitely involved, and based on the stories I heard about her, she is not to be trifle with.

Makes complete sense. That eruption was massive, and I agree little covered due to remoteness and it being hard to see. This is also probably why we are having some significant flooding in many areas. I know here in MI, we are seeing a wetter than normal Summer. Regardless, this was all lined up for the MSM to shift their narrative from Covid to Climate Change. I remember being admonished for debating global warming when the Right Reverend Al Gore went to a conference in snow and ice. I was told you cannot equate climate change and weather, but for some reason this is all we are hearing from the Church of Climate Change.

I am confused. Are you in the US now? What is the status of the spousal visa? If outside the US, I am not sure there is anything that can be done.

She can travel with her expired GC and extension letter fairly easily. There are some airlines that may not recognize that combo, but you can take a copy of the CBP carrier guide with you just in case. The only issues is making sure any travel dates do not conflict with anything scheduled by USCIS. Good Luck!

He’s right, you get what you vote for. Progress I guess.

Kind of states the obvious, at least to those with their heads out of the sand. Why the Hunter Biden scandal matters https://www.spiked-online.com/2023/07/28/why-the-hunter-biden-scandal-matters/

Enough With Half Measures, Throw All U.S. Code at Trump I have a suggestion for Jack Smith, one of Joe Biden’s official Rottweilers in charge of taking out Donald Trump. Throw the book at him. I mean the whole book. So far, Smith has taken a sort of piecemeal approach to suffocating the former president. His opening gambit was a 37-count felony indictment over Trump’s possession and handling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. A couple of days ago, he added three more counts and yet another defendant, Trump employee Carlos De Oliveira, to the list. But I say: enough with half measures. The obscenely bloated, contradictory, and embarrassing compendium of the laws that supposedly govern this country is known as the U.S. Code. Among other things, it is a monument to the malevolent frivolousness of the people we elect to govern us. The Greek lawgiver Solon believed that a good society should have few laws but that those laws ought to be strictly and impartially enforced. Among the most amusing video clips I have seen recently was Jack Smith’s first announcement of his indictment of Trump. “We have one set of laws in this country,” Smith said, face straight as a meter stick, “and they apply to everyone.” I’m not sure when I have laughed so hard. Hunter Biden was unavailable for comment. So was his dear old Dad, “the Big Guy.” So, for that matter, was Sam Bankman-Fried, swindler and mega donor to the Democrats, who just saw a campaign finance violation against him dropped because, like Hunter, he is a member of a protected class. Did I mention that Bankman-Fried was the number 2 top donor (after George Soros) to the Dems, having contributed some $70 million to its coffers over 18 months? https://amgreatness.com/2023/07/30/enough-with-half-measures-throw-all-u-s-code-at-trump/

This may lead to talks of impeachment, and if it does, and enough Democrats get on board, I see this panning out like Watergate, Old Corrupt Joe resigns, and Kackling Kamala pardon’s him.

Certainly understandable. Just keep in mind what has been discussed here when your spouse actually gets the visa as that may be a lot closer to the 2nd wedding anniversary. Good Luck!

Leave them again? When you enter the US using your spousal visa there is no reason to leave. The question is do you want to deal with an expensive process (fees for the I751 are expected to increase significantly soon ~$1200) if waiting a month or so avoids all that. In the end it is your call. Good Luck!

I agree with @Mike E, the reason you stayed away was due to you relationship with your now ex. Good Luck!

The President of Turkey is exactly wrong in this part. The Freedom of Expression is all about having the freedom to insult anyone. Now of course there may be consequences, but the government tasked with protecting that freedom should not be the ones meting out those consequences. On a side note, we certainly see a strong attack on that freedom in the US by the Left. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan blasted Sweden for allowing the protest. “We will teach arrogant Westerners that insulting Muslims is not a matter of freedom of expression”, declared the head of state during a televised intervention, adding that he condemns this incident “in the strongest terms strong”.

If you enter before the 2nd wedding anniversary you will get a 2 yr GC based on the date of your entry (not the wedding anniversary date). Then 2 years after entry less 90 days, you will have to file the I751 to get a 10 yr GC per the instructions @Lemonslice posted. I also agree, if you are able to delay your US entry until after the 2 yr wedding anniversary within the validity of your visa, do it. You will thank us later as the I751 process is a pain. Good Luck!

Completely up to you if you want to spend the money. I know we did it all ourselves, but if you feel the need for peace of mind to have someone review it, that is your choice. As to the I864, that will come in about 12 months or so when the I130 is approved by USCIS and it is sent to NVC. Good Luck!

Was the visa “Denied”, or “Refused”?

Mitch McConnel served his purpose, he kept M. Garland off the Supreme Court. Time to retire along with all the other DC geriatrics.

Heck, the company should be happy that they are getting an employee coming over on their own immigrant visa, saves them a lot of money.
