    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. I do not think Netflix buying WB is a terrible idea. Industry can complain that theater is dying, and that is correct.. it is dying. It is more expensive to see a film than ever, and the truth is not as many people want that experience any more. I have not been to a theater since the pandemic and I don't plan on ever doing so again. I like Netflix and have always used it, but it is raising prices frequently. There is good value for what they offer and there's shows for just about every type of person, games, kids stuff, international stuff, and decent movie selections. I think moving HBO stuff over will ultimately increase prices but I think it'll be a great addition.
  2. If every person decided to not use drugs/never use again in the US today, the 'market' would collapse. They supply because we demand. I'm going to bet that there are many gangbangers, dealers, and users in the US that have contributed to many deaths. Shall we start blowing them up too?
  3. It's wrong, but I don't think anyone cares about right and wrong in the government anymore.
  4. As a young man clueless about immigration matters, my husband was certainly thoroughly grilled on his first time to the US. And he was just a student at the time, no home ownership or job yet. Still they were satisfied with the answers given. He did pay for his own tickets, he had travel insurance, and money. There was never an issue for any of the years afterwards. I can't say if the B2 will be accepted or not. If he cannot come to the US, then you're going to need to figure out the next steps. K1 will certainly work and that is what we used, but the long wait time for the EAD and green card in the face of not being able to work was a drain of finances. It is certainly worse now. You could marry in the UK, but that will require going through the UK fiance/marriage visa process, and there is the financial requirements that would need to be met for that. Afterwards you'd return home and go through the CR1.
  5. There have been several articles lately on this guy.... and there's something that stands out. I can't say if there were any terrorist sympathies, I know some will make that claim without evidence yet. What we do see though is someone that had been heavily involved in a CIA unit (and other family members) since.. a child? And that once here really struggled with his language skills, jobs, and vastly different life. It sounds as if he suffered from PTSD and some kind of psychosis, certainly mental illness. He was not getting any treatment. CPS had been involved with the kids, and he would constantly abandon the family. It sounds as if some Americans and other community members had been trying to sound an alarm for help, and like many military men.. fall through the cracks. I'm not saying this to be sympathetic - he's a terrible person, but I'm not seeing anything that makes him different than any other nutjob with a gun yet, let alone someone involved with the military having severe issues.
  6. I'll join you for those drinks... my sister has a 'new guy' this year that we know nothing about but she's mysteriously moved in with. She brought him along into my mother's hospital room, no introductions.. just brought him there. Mom was not pleased. I know she'll try and bring him along for Xmas, they're like one entity now. And I'll be expected to get gifts for a guy I don't know a thing about but a name (and he's old enough to be her bloody father!). Amen.....
  7. It's been eventful: Mom recovered well from surgery, and a few days later they wanted to punt her out. I came as soon as I heard and the hospital had been put on lockdown. Despite having metal detectors (a guard that was dosing off), state cops posted outside, and doors sealed.. I managed to wander around the place trying to find a nurse to get me into her ward until I found a large ward unlocked and manned by just one nurse deep into her cellphone. They had no phones for patients in that ward, and this is when my mom told me what had happened the night before. It is terrifying to think how a guy with a gun got into the surgical ward and then her room to steal drugs! But if I could wander unimpeded.... man... we just aren't taking security seriously in hospitals these days. Dad was getting punted out of his rehab the next day, and when we went to get him, it was alarming that not only had they not put him on the right meds and diet, but he had ballooned in edema and 15lbs water weight again. He could not get into the house and fell. Rehab got an earful and once again... paramedics of whom we are well acquainted by now took him back to the hospital. He's back home finally and slowly getting it off, we have nursing care again, but I am not optimistic. All the cathing causes nothing but constant infections. Despite all that's been happening I managed to get all the decorations up and be solely responsible for making late Thanksgiving dinner. It was enjoyable, and I even fixed the traditional pork and sauerkraut, which something that us B'more people always have. All of the Christmas shopping is done, but it cost three times as much as last year. Sales are a joke.
  8. Dad is in rehab. He complains that they make him do things(!!!) for two whole hours! Why it's just horrific. They are good people there. It's clean and safe. But I know he'll go back to his old ways once they discharge him. Mom got sicker and sicker over last weekend. We rushed her to the big hospital, and someone finally did a CT scan. Now she had just had one a few weeks ago and they didn't find anything. But this radiologist (bless him for being competent) found all sorts of things. Next thing I know I'm being called because Mom is getting an NG tube and being rushed into ICU. Apparently you can just start growing random tissue in your body that just start strangling things. Next day they are rushing her into surgery because nothing they've tried is working, and her bowel will die without being untwisted. Five hour exploratory. Surgeon was brilliant woman, managed to fix everything, but it's a wait and see if the bowel will start working again. She'll likely miss Thanksgiving. For now she still has the tubes in and she *hates* it. They are giving her the good drugs, and she keeps telling me about things that happened two months ago as if it happened today lol.
  9. Seems like the left engine was on fire and then ejected itself from the aircraft and the right engine failed. They barreled into everything at high speed. Really terrible. I know my grandpa would have been fascinated by this one.. severe maintenance failure?
  10. This all sounds like rich people problems. Not a question if they get divorced but when.
  11. Not a single kid this year. Very strange indeed. Seems most were driven in to a neighbor's house for party. We've had crazy Halloween displays in the neighborhood this year so I thought surely there would be kids, but someone has had their house fully decked out in Christmas displays since two weeks ago.
  12. The 32 year old is still in custody, the 35 year old has been released and had nothing to do with it.
  13. A fun story that had a sort of happy ending: A week ago my husband managed to put his Switch in a case on top of a vehicle and drove off. An hour later he realizes and I get a frantic phone call if I could search the neighborhood. I head out and search for a couple hours, checking roads and ditches.. find it very unlikely it would have maintained it's position on the car for long enough to get on 95 or anything. The worst case scenarios were it had rolled off and bounced into the river, it rolled into the woods somewhere, or had been smashed by a car. The other possibility was that someone could have picked it up. Nintendo support was sympathetic (you won't believe how many people this happens to???) and helped lock down the account and de-register the unit. He was too embarrassed to file a police report but I did have some contacts to put on notice that there was a reward. By some miracle we got a knock on the door from some teens that had found it after school and had not much to go on but his username since they could not get into his account. Needless to say they happily got a cash blessing for Halloween. The unit was pristine! A real testament to how good the case was and how sturdy a device Nintendo makes and it's nice that there's still some honest good kids out there.
  14. Is your license not written in English? If it is not you can get an IDP which will translate it for anyone that might question. Having your license already will waive you from doing some of the young or early driving requirements such as road hours, but it will not exempt you from a written test, road test, or other documentation requirements. You will need to refer to PA's MVA instructions. Most state's will want proof of residency such as your name and new address on a bank statement or bill, I94, EAD or green card, and a SSN. If you are arriving on a K1 getting all that will take a while. So once you've arrived it's important to get the ball rolling on documents you need.
