  1. Moved to the Philippines Regional Forum.
  2. You are absolutely correct. This bill is worded horribly, and does not address much of the process related to renunciation. You also hit on a great point regarding the voluntary nature of renunciation. Maybe this is a trial balloon by Moreno to see where things lie. I don't think the dual citizens are all on one side of the political aisle. As to Trump, I believe at least Barron has dual citizenship, not sure about the three oldest children.
  3. The question is will you vote for Crockett in the Democrat primary so she is front and center? Based on what I hear about her, she is more narcissistic than Trump.
  4. It will be interesting to know if he was functioning enough to do this on his own, or was there others assisting him.
  5. I agree with limiting phone use in schools, etc., and quite honestly I am not a huge user of social media (VJ an exception), so have no issues with people not using it. My main question is how effective will this plan be, and do we need a government body doing this?
  6. This could be interesting. Wonder if it will be effective with the age estimation by inference? I expect a lot of kid can figure a way around that. Maybe parents should parent and not ask a government for help. Australia’s Social Media Ban for Children Takes Effect The ban initially covers 10 platforms, but the government said the list would change as new products emerge and young users switch to alternatives. Of the initial 10, all but Elon Musk’s X have said they will comply using age inference—guessing a person’s age from their online activity—or age estimation, which is usually based on a selfie. They might also check with uploaded identification documents or linked bank account details. Musk has said the ban “seems like a backdoor way to control access to the internet by all Australians” and most platforms have complained that it violates people’s right to free speech. An Australian High Court challenge overseen by a libertarian state lawmaker is pending. https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/12/09/australias-social-media-ban-for-children-takes-effect/
  7. Even more perplexing is the Democrat thinking that people that look alike need to vote the same. Can't they see how bigoted that thinking is? At least you will get a chance to vote for J. Crockett for Senate.
  8. I will start to worry about this if the bill actually gains any traction and starts actually getting co-sponsors. There are thousands of bill introduced annually and it is like 1-4% of them that actually make it anywhere. Additionally, if this does actually make it to Trump's desk would he sign something that would impact him personally?
  9. He's black? I heard Jake Tapper describe him as white? Do you mean I cannot trust the news coming from Jake Tapper? That being said, Miranda D. has a more than possible conclusion as to why this investigation was stalled for 4 years under a racist Democrat President that was not all there.
  10. I tend to agree that this will not have much impact on IR IVs. Might be an impact with family based, K1's, asylum or refugee claims. Time will tell.
  11. I wonder about the veracity of this "LinkedIn" post especially when I read number 4. How many USCIS interviews last more than 30 minutes unless there is a real anomaly?
  12. I agree that a Dutch court cannot overturn a US Court finding, but that does not mean they won't try, or at least make it very difficult for the enforcement.
  13. I agree, it is a joke, but as I said earlier, look at the ramifications. I retire and move overseas, take my money with me, and stop paying US taxes with the plan of obtaining a new citizenship where this bill would make renunciation simple. Congress, and the DC deep state do not like simple.
  14. So right now it was read twice and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. No co-sponsors so far. https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/3283/committees
  15. Not as it is written today. DUAL CITIZENS.— (1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, a citizen of the United States who also possesses foreign citizen ship shall— (A) submit to the Secretary of State a written renunciation of such foreign citizenship; or (B) submit to the Secretary of Homeland Security a written renunciation of United States citizenship.
  16. What I do not understand is why this is necessary other than for political grandstanding. Also, reading the few pages of it tells me there was not much thought put into it.
  17. An interesting case. I do wonder what will happen in the EU. Greenpeace’s Dutch Runaround Risks Undermining US-EU Energy Pact Cross-border legal cooperation rests on the fragile but essential principle that sovereign nations will respect each other’s lawful judgments. Without that understanding, the global legal system begins to fracture, commerce stalls, treaties lose meaning, and trust erodes. Now, that principle faces a quiet but consequential test in a courtroom in The Hague. Greenpeace International has filed a lawsuit in The Netherlands to overturn a $660 million US verdict. On Oct. 28, the trial judge reduced the award to $345 million, but it still remains one of the largest awards for interference with infrastructure in US history. A North Dakota jury had found the organization liable for defamation, trespass, and civil conspiracy during its campaign against the Dakota Access Pipeline. If the Dutch courts agree, they could refuse to enforce the US ruling, not only invalidating a duly rendered civil verdict, but also casting doubt on whether European courts will honor US legal decisions at all. The Morton County jury determined that Greenpeace paid outside protestors, coordinated their encampments, and spread false claims about pipeline safety—actions that interfered with construction, escalated costs, and ultimately depressed the stock value of developer Energy Transfer. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchange-insights-and-commentary/greenpeaces-dutch-runaround-risks-undermining-us-eu-energy-pact
  18. Personally, I would just file with a new/updated package. Good Luck!
  19. Should not be an issue. Though you went past the 90 days authorized by the K1 visa, you did eventually complete the process and there is actually no deadline to file the I485 after a K1 marriage. I don't see any issues unless you might be originally from one of the restricted countries.
  20. So back in WWII, if the pilot of dive bomber hit a ship/boat, the other planes had to lay off dropping their bombs on the same ship? I remember in the battle of Midway, the US bombed a couple of damaged cruisers wile retreating from the fight. War Crime?
  21. This will never pass because of this ⬇️. Relinquishing US citizenship is a real pain particularly around taxes, and Congress does not want to make it easier thereby losing that tax source. EFFECT OF ACQUISITION OF FOREIGN CITIZEN6 SHIP.—A citizen of the United States who, after the date 7 of the enactment of this Act, voluntarily acquires foreign 8 citizenship shall be deemed to have relinquished United 9 States citizenship.
  22. That has been going on for quite some time (way before Trump), so what is different now?
  23. If you have additional evidence as described by the example, it doesn't hurt to include it, or bring it with you to the interview. Good Luck!
