    My husband and I met for the first time on NYE '03, though we had known each other for longer than that. In 2009 he popped the question, but we waited until 2014 to file for our K1 visa. We were finally approved in 2015, and married on Sept 30th, 2015. He became a US citizen October 19th, 2023.

  1. It's amazing how much work my husband can get done at home, and then when he goes to the office cannot because people refuse to shut up and the computer systems are so old they barely function. Half of the time the rest of the employees are just standing around doing nothing but chatting loudly, then go take extended lunches, and then by that time are leaving to pick up the kids. Complete waste of time. And yes, he can see when they are slacking off at home too, but for the most part there is far more productivity. It's a healthier environment overall being home - home cooked lunches instead of fast food that we can eat together on lunch break, no commuting, and even when it's bad weather you're still able to work. I don't know why people think it will somehow speed up the USCIS. We know the reasons why they are slow, and they were slow well before remote work was a thing.
  2. The best thing to likely do would be to buy a gophone or buy a phone outright from whatever provider you think will work for you best. If you ever travel back to the UK be aware of if the phone is unlocked or not before putting another sim in.
  3. An ESTA is not a visa, it is a background check authorization, that if passed, allows you to get on a plane. The VWP is what allows someone from certain countries to visit the US, visa free for up to 90 days. It is extremely unwise to stay the maximum allowed time, as you run the risk of overstaying. It is also extremely unwise to continue to make such lengthy repeated visits, without giving the same or larger amount of time spent in your home country. VWP is an important privilege that can be revoked if abused or if an officer feels you are abusing it. There were times when my then fiancé would visit me twice a year. Once in spring and again in fall or winter. These visits were obviously separated by many many months in-between and never anywhere close to the allowed cutoff date.
  4. None of this matters. You may not like the honest answers given on this forum, but they are the truth of the matter. You have a felony. You do not have any legal right to stay in the US and quite frankly, the fact you are admitting on this forum that you might lie or misrepresent in an attempt to re-enter shows you have learned nothing about being convicted and/or admitting to a felony in the first place. There are consequences to actions. You have no chances to return. Focus on having a life in your own country.
  5. Haha, I'd fit some of that list and know a few that might do so too, but I must say perhaps it is better to find a lady who is not able to consume said god awful diet, but perhaps home cook some Real Food ™. Though we should not undervalue a decent tuna salad sandwich, the true way to win a man's heart is not via tuna glop but through a happy satisfied stomach of foody delights. 😏
  6. TB if there is one thing I've learned about some women, especially knowing what my husband's friend has gone through, take note of red flags. I feel that JC's reaction is a bit of an odd one, it speaks of immaturity, un-needed drama, and jealousy. They may not be the person for you. 911 again yesterday...another fall and more injuries, god I am sick of this. Starting to know the EMTs by name by now. Hospital kicked him out again, and left him in a concerning state. Getting the nurses to come is an absolute pain. Tomorrow is the anniversary of first meeting my husband over 20 years ago now. What a blessing that man is.
  7. We once went through a leak that ruined the septic system, took months to fix, and cost about 8k. Had to replace the water lines and the whole septic system/drain fields and then all the lawn. We've had subsequent issues every few years, but bought a protection policy through the water company. They fix it now at no cost to us, provided they don't send out complete idiots. Christmas has been crazy. A two week stay for my dad in the hospital (him refusing to go again followed by me saying you're going whether you like it or not) and once again they save his life with no realization or appreciation of it on his part (those nurses did everything for him!). They dump him out of the hospital on Christmas-Eve-eve and a new bodily reality for him that certain functions aren't going to work anymore. Nurses start home visiting again today but he is weak and doesn't want to move. Christmas everyone came to see him and open gifts, but he fell asleep during much of it. My best gift was a sling that I can strap my dog into, giving me the ability to walk and do things hands-free.
  8. I have been to NJ once. Never again. If the aliens ever come to NJ in search of something, they'll never find it.
  9. Someone along the eastern shore MD/DE claimed to spot a 'big drone' yesterday afternoon. Took a video and everything. It's very clearly an experimental aircraft called a Blackfly and I can imagine the average person would indeed freak out if they saw it.
  10. The problem is with the broad language of the lawsuit and the court decision. As it stands, even though a K1 has come legally, the government really doesn't do the best job in giving a K1 some sort of 'special status' while they are adjusting. If there was some kind of rapid system that got a K1 an EAD immediately, perhaps, but as it stands there's not a lot one can do until they have the documents that give them status. A K1 is always in a sort of limbo mode until EAD or GC. This is why doing things such as getting an SSN can be a struggle at certain offices unaware of their own policy, or getting an ID through the state can be problematic. This broad language catches out DACA, illegal immigrants adjusting, those "grey-area" immigrants that are adjusting status after a visit to sudden marriage or emergency marriage, and yes even a K1. It also is catching out other perfectly legal immigrants adjusting status as the website mentions. There isn't any distinction between legal and illegal here, any more than there is between legally grey. That is unfortunate. K1s can obtain coverage in any other state not mentioned. The only other option is to get the EAD, get on an employer's or spouse's other means of insurance, or.. well, move to a different state.
  11. My husband loves drones, unfortunately he hasn't been able to properly fly one for years, because TFRs are nearly always constant. And the way things are now it's likely some idiot would freak out about it and try to cause harm. The way we see it is, the vast majority of these are easily disproven as standard, private, or military aircraft. Other cases are bad camerawork, and a few other more amusing ones are very clearly celestial in nature. Then there are a few that I think are people trying to be funny in creating hoaxes or just feeding off of attention and mass delusion. It's with great frustration that radar, drone, and aircraft/military enthusiasts online are banging their heads at the stupid claims going on. There have been many pilots complaining about being struck by lasers just this week, eventually someone is going to get really hurt. Another percentage I think are likely government drone/crafts testing a product they've had on hand for about ten years. Something has caused some urgency to test them.
  12. Because you live in one of the states involved in the current court case, yes you would be unable to be eligible. However does your spouse have an EAD? Because an EAD would be a qualifying document granting you status in eligibility for coverage. If not, then your options are few - namely you would need to purchase coverage out of pocket for a plan from an insurer directly until such time as a GC would grant status or the results of the case are favorable.
  13. I've heard that the articles of clothing he was wearing and then a change of clothing were particularly expensive items. And I've also heard that the lady at the hostel was flirting with him. I thought that odd that she would flirt with this guy upon first casual meeting with him dressed in this way unless something was particular about him. Does he have an accent perhaps? Was on a bus from GA to NYC but had a fake ID from NJ. How did he buy the gun? Why choose to stay in a hostel? Wouldn't you risk being exposed to a lot of people? Have also heard the wife was secretly estranged from the victim.
  14. Last month I got my mammogram. I thought it seemed to go well, though it was a little painful. What was strange is that it took a long time to get the results. A letter never showed up so I called, eventually something showed up in a portal. Part of my mammogram had been messed up and needed to be redone, but the rest was ambiguous and not great? They'd seen something and the radiologist wasn't sure what it was. No one would discuss the results with me, just that it was described as a mass that could be cancerous. I was devastated. I needed a redo so then had to chase the doctor to send new orders about it - she said it was urgent to get this redone and wanted another test about the mass. I call radiology again and am transferred over and over, they tell me it would be two months to the next available. I could not wait that long. They tell me my only option then is to go two hours away to a hospital breast cancer center. So that is where I was yesterday, my husband waiting nervously in the hallway. There were many women there in varying states of sadness. The tech was very kind for multiple tests and the doctor reviewed everything immediately. They could not really explain why I was required to come back in, as it was their opinion that the findings of a mass are benign. Get a redo in another year. When I came out of the exam room, my husband was shaking with happiness. The stress of not knowing what this lump was had taken it's toll on us both this month, especially with everything going on with my family. I have a family history of cancer, including breast cancer, so I very much encourage everyone to get checked.
