Well, how to make bribery conviction disappear? Beg for a pardon from the President apparently. https://nypost.com/2024/08/19/us-news/menendez-negotiating-pardon-reduced-jail-sources-say/ All I got to say is I hope it's not true or Joe leaves him to rot.

It would seem that this individual has a lot of issues with everybody and did a lot more than shout at a dog. Man is lucky he still has a face. Like many of these knucklehead scum, they are now in jail where they belong. And it's funny that most of them have lengthy criminal records already.

It's 50k lawsuit. Disney is absolutely foolish here but it does not surprise me. People that have very serious allergies really need to be very careful where they choose to eat. Peanuts is one thing, but dairy is quite another. There is nothing on that restaurant's menu that would prevent contamination of those items triggering particular allergies. There is plenty of dairy on the menu.

Let's say you use the green card as one purpose, am I correct (and this is from memory) that the DMV will request at least two other mail items: so a bill, a bank statement, ssn card, official mail from government agency, insurance card. Will they accept any of that, or is it a bill only? For my husband I used our joint bank statement and an official piece of mail from the USCIS, but I could have also used envelope/mail his SSN came in, or health insurance card. For my mom it was very difficult but eventually successful. My other suggestion would be that you do have their name on a bank account so in theory you could set up a secured credit card for them. Alternatively you could just buy a cheap cellphone service on a new cheap phone from a different provider, a club membership, or life insurance policy. Where do your parents live? Could you draw up a rental/living agreement if they live with you?

I don't know what state they reside but certainly a green card would work, as it normally does in any state. I say this not to be snarky, but I know how difficult and archaic it can be to obtain IDs for the elderly with a lack of documents (my mom was a housewife with nothing in her name that needed an ID for medication and needed a birth certificate to get an ID but needed an ID to get a birth certificate!) in trying to work around state laws that don't necessarily fit into a box. Have you asked someone directly? Do they have a bank account? Could you get them one? Is there a way to add them to a bill? Or set up some kind of a bill with mail in their name?

Well, can you not help them obtain a state ID?

I cannot speak for Texas specifically, but we did SSA first, and then went to our DMV. They simply took a photocopy of the citizenship certificate, and then you could register to vote. A new DL was issued, but that was simply because he was due to update/renew one anyway.

These type of lizards are apparently skittish of humans and was way too fast for us. I'm convinced it's either inside a couch or went up into the ceiling. I still cannot find it. Meanwhile it's pals are all doing whatever lizards do outside. We see them when the sun is out. Suppose if it does die the smell will let me know where it might be located. It does say they can bite if cornered. The dog (very much acts like a cat because he was raised with cats) is completely useless and has no interest in chasing anything in old age. If my Dalmatian were alive she would have no problems catching it for sure. With regret I am allergic to cats. It's not so much being scared of it as it is just shocked it's here. These were not creatures anyone can remember in this area.. just appeared two years ago.

My uncle's funeral was made very complicated by the fact my sister came down with COVID, because their employer seems to think if a coworker has all COVID symptoms but doesn't test themselves so they aren't confirmed positive and doesn't have to report it to their superiors is totally fine to come to work and infect cancer patients. Thankfully whether from all the precautions I do take or my still very abnormally high antibodies I remain infection free and I managed to keep everyone safe. We got my dad to the viewing.. which was a long travel time of 2hrs each way. Really difficult, and many of the family members that gathered there seemed in an uncomfortable standoff over the circumstances of my uncle's death. We had all advocated for immediate medical treatment that may have saved his life, but for whatever reason it was declined. That was his/his family's decision we surmise, but it was disturbing for my dad to reckon with and to see the condition he died in. This left him in such a state he told me he could not go to the funeral the next day. So I went to take care of my aunt because I didn't want her to go through everything alone. On the weekend my husband wanted to de-stress, so a buddy offered to bring bikes and go riding some trails. I told him that he should absolutely not do this if he wasn't wearing a helmet, so I made him go buy one. A few hours later he's calling to tell me he's crashed the bike, is injured, but is making it back home. His friend is sheepish and apologetic - the old bike's brakes weren't working?! A very furious me finds my husband wounded and bleeding from most extremities and complaining of pain in his arms and legs. His phone is cracked, but the helmet? It saved him! We go to urgent care because I can't get all the debris out of the wounds and for stitches and x-rays. The doctor is amused of the story (perhaps there are many annoyed wives that come in with their injured husbands?) especially when he tells her he biked 10 miles back home injured. Nothing was broken either (bad sprain), but he did get a tetanus shot for his troubles. You'd think that would be everything. No. A tornado warning that evening had us hiding in the basement with no power. Next morning one of our trees had narrowly... by like a foot?? missed the car. Instead of calling someone he's out there with saws removing it, instead of resting. Monday I thought okay, maybe I can finally get him to rest because he's feeling really poorly, but I go back down into the basement to handle a backlog of washing... and staring at me is a lizard. .....a lizard!! I scream and it dives under the couch. And from there began a game of chasing it around the room, tearing apart the room for several hours and ultimately giving up. I can't find it and I've had to make peace with the fact we now have a lizard running around the house. Does anyone know how to make an effective trap or will it find it's way out? My husband said yesterday that it's been a long week. I said... it's only just Monday!

I would like to know exactly where you are getting information from regarding the gender of this athlete? After doing a lot of reading the facts currently seem to be as follows: Khelif was born a female with female genitalia. They were not born a man with male genitalia. They were not born intersex and assigned genitalia after birth. They are not trans. They are not even a man intentionally pretending to be a woman to cheat. No disorder or complicated genetic issue has been uncovered yet, though it could certainly be possible, if not likely. Khelif has been boxing for quite some time, they have lost numerous matches to other women born with female genitalia. A problem has arisen, such has happened in rare cases with other athletes that had been assigned genitalia at birth, born intersex, or not born intersex but have rare genetic issues. That issue is higher than what is defined as normal - testosterone. Biological women, produce testosterone. A large majority of women with disorders such as PCOS and others can absolutely have high testosterone, which is an unfortunate hallmark of such disease - in more severe cases of PCOS women can take on 'male characteristics' such as hirsutism. Similarly men can have a range of disorders or disease that cause them to have poor testosterone production of which the effects are too numerous to mention. The IOC states as follows: They are essentially saying what your local endocrinologist might tell you: men and women have varying and diverse testosterone levels and those levels don't provide a full picture. https://olympics.com/ioc/human-rights/fairness-inclusion-nondiscrimination One of the biggest issues recently about an athlete with complex medical history was Semenya. While still a teenager, she was forced to take birth control and was ordered to submit to numerous tests and eventually a medical procedure, shots, and more. All in an effort to control her testosterone levels, which were through no fault of her own. These 'treatments' affected her physical and mental well-being in a similar way numerous advocates complain about young adults being subjected to HRT as they 'transition'. The IAAF then ruled she was biologically a male because she has a rare intersex condition, despite her being born with female genitalia and identifying as a female all her life (yes not all intersex persons have ambiguous genitals at birth). https://apnews.com/documents-reveal-new-details-in-bitter-semenya-iaaf-battle-f844add98d02453ea926706f687c2fc7 What followed throughout this athlete's life was humiliation and exploitation. I suspect that Khelif and other similar athletes will end up enduring the same. Intersex is a complicated condition, and condition is not even the right word for it perhaps. They are people that are born uniquely and through no fault of their own. Many do not even know they have it. They have their own talents, hopes, and dreams. They do not deserve to be spoken about as if they are disgusting. Everyone wants the line between men and women to be clear cut - but god seems to make complicated exceptions to our human rules. How then should these "men" and "women" compete? Should they be denied because of something that isn't their fault? Should they be forced into dangerous therapies so that people can feel more "comfortable"? I don't think that is the answer, nor is exclusion, nor is some of the really terrible comments I've seen tossed around.

It is well known from experience, that they will accept a recollection of having chickenpox, and observe evidence of scars for confirmation. Having chickenpox in your life will exclude you from requiring the vaccine in the first place. Certainly one should not lie if one has never had chickenpox in their life, and should seek out a vaccine for health reasons, but for the UK medicals, all that has been observed is that if you have had it, they do indeed take your word for it.

Well it's been quite a week... My uncle died, which is quite complicated because we're not really sure who is the executor of the estate and he had some of my parents documents involving family plots. My dad has been quite devastated and apprehensive about going to the funeral, as he's not well himself. He didn't have a thing to wear, so this weekend I went shopping to make sure he was dressed okay and got a haircut. In the process of that though, my sister mentions that a coworker had been sick in office and had refused to test themselves or wear a mask. My sister does mask, but she is high risk, and has long covid side effects from previous infection. Unfortunately the office also do not let her use a desktop HEPA unit either (guess what now everyone in the office and their families are also testing +!). Yesterday my mom mentioned that my sister felt 'weird', and when I found her she had the classic signs of what I call "covid brain".. I don't know what it is but people just act so odd, fuzzy, unfocused, in a daze? I found my stash of tests and she had a strong + in minutes. Oh my gosh... she had been in close contact with everyone here. I spent the rest of the day disinfecting everything, and we have HEPAs and our old corsi-rosenthal running on all levels. I cannot afford to have anyone else here that is so vulnerable sick. She won't be able to attend the funeral now. The doctor sent an RX over to the pharmacy, but guess what? Pharmacy doesn't have any stock. No pharmacy in town has stock, so after a massive back and forth, we found a pharmacy the next town over to fill Paxlovid and I hope it helps as her fever is quite high and this time around it's causing tachycardia. So far, fwiw, we are all testing negative and I hope it stays that way.

But do you personally recall, or does your parent recall you having chicken pox as a child? Do you have any scars? They don't need to see documented proof for chicken pox. They will accept your word for it.

More than likely your options reside in either - buying a policy for her outright, or enrolling her in the ACA (Obamacare). You can expect the cost to be steep. If she does start to work of course at any time she can go on an employer's plan if they offer it. At some point I'd also encourage you to look through this thread (and there is a second useful thread linked aswell) about obtaining insurance for elder parents, as it can start to get tricky as they age. There may be some advice that could be useful there.

Hi OP: When you received your DS3025 was it marked complete? If it is then no further action needs to be taken for AOS purposes. Hep B is similar to MMR in that it is a multi-dose series and a waiver is given because insufficient time to complete it. As long as you have one shot, you're good as Mallory says there- though if you'd like to finish the series for your own health reasons do so. Attach a copy of the form when filing AOS, as long as you do so sooner rather than later. K1s are not required to redo their medical in the US if their form is complete. If you do not have the required vaccines, are not marked complete, are missing some, or need to obtain them after having the medical or after you are in the US - you will need proof of each one, and will need to see a US civil surgeon to transcribe and recertify. As you can see here in the AOS guide: As for anything else in this thread, AOS is very important to complete as soon as possible after being married. To delay puts the immigrant out of status and subject to deportation. There are certainly reasons some people delay, and you will find plenty of examples as to the consequences. Make sure to file in a reasonable timeframe, and as you can see above you want to do so before your medical results expire. You do not need to carry around your marriage certificate, as that confers absolutely no legal status. Marriage is a state's rights issue, and not a federal domain - where immigration resides and is mostly all that matters. Once you file AOS your NOA1 is your proof, followed by an EAD (if hopefully also filed for).

This is completely inaccurate. I might suggest this may be an excellent case for Jim Hacking and perhaps he could give you the logical confidence in the perfectly reasonable and accurate information that has already been provided here on this forum.

The length of time for a K1 whether it is 15, 30, or 90 days is given, I would assume so that the couple that get affairs in order or even plan a wedding. Still, such visas are not a try before buying visas, as you write a letter of intent swearing to the fact that you WILL marry. That of course doesn't mean that things happen and you don't end up marrying... but it is strange to me that people are not intending to marry that aren't serious or committed to their relationships and hinge it on whether they like winter weather or not. It is a big thing to ask someone to upend their entire lives and move to a different country with them - thoughts of winter weather should be rather irrelevant. For any relationship one should be marrying for love and commitment. Marrying later can create issues for the long term, in regards to getting an SSN and obtaining healthcare, getting a DL/ID, and getting in line for AOS/EAD. Marrying sooner protects the immigrant and enables the process to go smoothly. But I would never recommend marrying or even doing a K1 process, if both parties are not sure to begin with. Immigration is hard. Marriage is hard. The insurance you're referencing and that do exist though I'm not familiar with a said UH plan, is a type of ''temporary immigrant insurance" these are not ACA (Obamacare compliant) and you will find coverage dubious at best. Still, some like the ''peace of mind". What is the actual name/type of plan?

Your passport, DL anything will do. But more specifically, you could go to the DMV and get a US ID. Do you have an SSN yet, or your EAD?

My husband says this is an example of what happens when bad IT guys push half-arsed updates to production instead of taking proper precautions first.

As I stated earlier a K1 is eligible for an SSN as soon as they arrive. You could go today and get one if you'd like and I'd strongly recommend that.

I asked my tech guy, and he says "they don't have adobe acrobat reader do they? that's the likely problem. if not chuck the Mac out the window."😋 You came on a K1 and that means you can obtain an SSN within days after arrival. Unfortunately if it's after the 90 days you'd now have to wait. We usually advise people to get the SSN as soon as possible as it's important for health insurance purposes. We went to the SSA the same day we went to the clerk to apply for a marriage license, about a week or so after he arrived, and then followed up at the bank when the card arrived.

I see BofA put you through the same thing that Chase did to us. We just gave up too. The reps were obnoxious and barely literate on the phone it felt like a giant runaround scam. My husband had a secured card when just starting out and moved to a full card not long after, with excellent credit, he makes a decent living, and in good standing with the local bank I'm glad they were willing to give us a chance at least.

I found it kind of funny earlier this year when we wanted to apply for a new credit card at one of the big companies. My husband has a nearly perfect credit score and never had any trouble before, but after applying the company seemed to have some sort of problem that we couldn't quite figure out, and after a few odd phone calls we felt really uncomfortable proceeding any further because it seemed very discriminatory if not shady. So I called our local bank about applying for a card and came in for an appointment and were approved within a day. These days it seems an excellent score isn't the deciding factor.

Well, how do you plan on obtaining her health insurance? Does she work? Does she plan on working? Does she drive? Where will she live? Do you have the ability to sponsor her with no issues? Is your mother okay with being stuck in the US for potentially quite a long while until documents come through? Where was she living in the UK? I mean does she not have a home and bills to pay? The tax implications? Green cards are for living in the US, so is she comfortable with leaving her home country, family, or friends on a fairly permanent basis?

Insurance generally follows the car and not the driver, but there can be some insurances that limit permissive use clauses and require the driver to be listed on the owner's policy. Call and speak to your insurance provider. https://www.marketwatch.com/guides/insurance-services/does-car-insurance-follow-the-vehicle-or-driver/ https://wallethub.com/answers/ci/does-insurance-follow-the-car-or-the-driver-in-michigan-1000143-2140706080/#:~:text=Car insurance usually follows the,the driver%2C unlike liability coverage. For my state as a new driver in the US, my husband was allowed to use my dad's old vehicle which is under his insurance. We were struck by a driver that was using an insured vehicle, and was using it without the owner's authorization. The owner's insurance paid out damages for the car and for injuries. For regulations involving obtaining a learners permit, it will depend on if your spouse has ever driven in their own country with a license before? In these cases, you can often skip the learning process and move straight to testing. If they have never driven before, then you'd be starting from scratch. Make sure when the 10yr green card is received , or when/if citizenship you return to the DMV to update your status.
