I don't think there is conspiracy here other than a mentally ill person with hatred in his heart attacked a person he wanted to harm. His lawyer does not dispute it and I think as the case goes on in court will pretty much reflect that. My only question: Nothing the mentally ill do rarely make sense, but I'd like to know what these items were for out of pure curiosity.

These threads on the subject might be useful.

Congrats! Enjoy the ceremony

Going to rant. There is a lot going on in my household right now. I take care of both my elderly parents that are getting increasingly unwell - that is I take care of their physical needs - bathing, meds, food, cleaning, getting them to appointments. My sister takes care of the financial side of things - some time ago she discovered that my dad had created quite a large amount of debt and then dumped it on us to take care of and keep things afloat. ''Afloat'' is what we do, as best we can. That is not easy with rising interest rates and inflation. She works a high pressure job, often pulling OT. My husband has a very good job - his financials cover all our bills, but lately my sister has been relying on us to provide funds for things she can't cover. That's frustrating for both of us. A long time ago, before I met my husband, and when my parents were not in frail health, my other sister resided in the home. It was supposed to be a temporary thing and she was supposed to pay rent. It lasted about 4 years and rent was not paid. In addition there was at the time, many thousands that she took from my parents and grandparents and did not return. It was a very difficult time with constant arguments - she has mental health issues and I felt very unsafe living here. Eventually she left. Cue many many many months ago. She's being evicted. This is a person that has gone bankrupt several times, has poor credit, will lie, cheat, steal, gaslighting, and again mental health issues which can become violent. She has had some other severe losses in her life, for which I do feel terribly about but none of these things I can change. She continued partying and doing her thing. I advised that the housing/rental market is currently difficult and that she needed to take this seriously. This advice was not followed. My dad talks to her regularly - they have similar personalities minus the mental health - but he is often goaded and manipulated. Some months ago, he wanted her to come live here. All of us, the entire family, explained clearly that financially this was not possible, and physically we approach the boundaries of not having livable space for another person. I am often pushed to the end of my stress levels daily in caring for my parents, and while I feel for her, I cannot care for another person that has needs I cannot give her. I did make some suggestions, but they were not heeded. Once again the topic has come up. My dad says she will be homeless, and they have had many arguments and it's all the rest of the family's fault. He said he would never let me go live out on the street. I appreciate that, but I would never put myself into that situation nor would I ever expect or demand that of my family. He doesn't understand the reality of the financial situation nor does he care to. We all essentially pay his bills. At this point, I said that if she ever returned here, I would not feel safe and that me and my husband would leave because my priority is protecting my family. It would be difficult for us, but we'd certainly do it. My priority has always been my husband. He has accomplished so much in the US. I am in the process of making sure steps as a new citizen are completed like getting passports. That is extremely important because we recently were told his parents need care that the NHS isn't giving them, and we believe a situation will likely happen where we will need to return to the UK to sort out things. There is a lot on his plate, on both of our plates. All of us are trying to do the right thing, but the right thing here is getting murky and at times feels abusive emotionally and financially.

I can't say what the full facts are in this case, but it seems we have a very intelligent little boy that recently lost his father, a new school principle with a chip on her shoulder, and a justice system that went insane. The kid asks some questions of adults behaving badly, is accused without proof of 'terrorism', hauled off to jail for many days and put in solitary. Not sure what mom was doing to help her son that was clearly feeling troubled by the principle and sad at losing people close to him, but at least she's put him in a new school where he is happier. https://www.texasobserver.org/why-was-this-11-year-old-honor-roll-student-put-in-solitary/

LOL! Must admit I've not really heard of her.. I thought to myself she's got to be from the Jersey Shore with that much spray tan. And she says she was born in 1941?? No way! The best and only Buffy.

You have to make sure that the civil surgeon you visit is willing to recertify the vaccine portion only instead of giving you an entirely new medical. You would need to bring ID, all proof of vaccines you've received, the DS3025, and the filled out I693 (required portions only). Follow the I693 instructions carefully. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-693instr.pdf

I've never celebrated or experienced Halloween because well, my parents are weird, and by the time I reached adulthood it seemed no point left for me. That being said the street really did great this year in putting those giant Home Depot skeletons and their smaller counterparts in all sorts of crazy displays and poses. No one really ever bothers to come by of course because the lights are off, but judging by the tons of kids participating in the trunk o' treats this year, it didn't sound like there were many kids out on the street at all. The stores seemed to move on from Halloween to Christmas weeks ago... my husband already purchased the lights he needs for the display this year.

He's very broad shouldered with a thick neck and long arms, so the standard shirts end up looking a mess. If you want a shirt to fit the neck (barely) it ends up being too baggy on him and he refuses to wear a collar extender. When I did the custom order with Indochino they even got back to me twice to confirm the measurements were right as if he's some kind of freak. Oh the underwear sizes LOL. Yeah same problem, and that extends into stuff like base layers and running gear. Hard to find him the right fit. Amazon also has issues especially when a lot of these sizes are set to Chinese standard. You usually have to measure carefully and size up even if the size sounds ridiculous.

My husband has two. His wedding suit and his interview suit. Every time I need to find him something new I end up tailoring it. Even his dress shirts need custom fit. For our wedding we didn't have enough time to get a local tailor on short notice, so I used Indochino for his shirt. Fast service and the quality was decent even if I had some reservations about where it was coming from. Compare that to my dad's shirt/suit from Men's Warehouse that.... grrr still so mad about that. I agree thrift stores have some real gems in them. There is something to be said of a man in a well-crafted bespoke suit, but the price is not something people will jump at as worth it. I think overall there is a lack of a need for suits. People may not be able to afford functions where such attire is requested.

Well as usual with articles from this site, the people that write them are generally insufferable, but I gave it a try, and immediately found someone complaining with no central thesis. His first complaint is that he ordered a beret (of all weird things to order) from Amazon. That is an odd one to me, but whatever he wants to do with his fashion choices. Of course he hates the choice he made. And if he made the choice he needs to take responsibility for it. Obviously he did not look for American made or good imports which I could find within minutes of searching on Amazon, or looking at google, and opted for cheap China-wear. Even if he wanted something very upper crust indeed, he could find hundreds of other options online - from small shops to incredible authentic imports. His next complaint is a lack of menswear locations. Now this can be an issue in certain small towns - I used to go with my dad to the big menswear chain and that was a soul-crushing experience akin to buying a car. Still he does mention his town, and a quick google shows that his claim is untrue. There are indeed plenty of small menswear stores that I'm sure could give him the attention and detail he wants. He does live in NJ which is not far from NY, but that doesn't really matter because men in those locations generally need a good suit for some of their jobs, and there is plenty of businesses that provide it. He is either dishonest for the sake of his article or doesn't know how to google very well. But even some chain departments like Macys or other local businesses (which is barely a drive at all for him according to the map) actually have an alteration department and very decent suits. Some professions have moved past the Mad-Men era, and one does not need to wear a full suit to a job to "look professional". Of course my husband's dad always looks bespoke even on a casual day, and my husband has always tried to dress appropriately for work, but perhaps the author doesn't realize times have actually changed. Working men can actually dress for work without needing expensive luxury menswear. Those that must wear uniforms or have labor-intensive work certainly have no need for it. Certainly I sympathize with the author somewhat - when I see a well-dressed woman and her slobby man and vice versa it merely annoys me that both individuals are having a fashion emergency and a lack of self-care. There are countless times I see people in PJs, crocs, unwashed socks with slides, slippers/house shoes but not in a working environment thankfully. How a person dresses does not bother me too much at the end of the day vs their attitude during work. A good partner in one's life will hopefully ensure they do not make a fashion mistake (wrong tie, stains/wrinkles, mismatched socks or shoes) before leaving the house every day, but ultimately that is not needed if the individual cares about themselves.

I don't think such a letter is necessary. We viewed the application as very impersonal - can you answer yes to all the important yes questions and no to all the important no questions and do you meet all the qualifications? Can you give them the tax info and other documents as required? If yes, then anything more is not needed. I think the large beauty of it is that becoming an American can feel nice, but at the same time rather ordinary. You don't have to explain your whys of wanting to become naturalized.

As long as you are aware and understand the cons of the K1 and are prepared for that... Our K1 evidence was pretty much the same as guides here explain one should offer. Front loaded? Well yes we did, but not to the point of going overboard (for instance I don't believe we put in years worth of chat convos or emails or handwritten letters). It's good to have quality over quantity evidence. We had a very long relationship by that point, with a lot of visits over the years, and wanted to establish how strong that was. I couldn't tell you how many pages, iirc it was fairly thick, but we thought it important to be well organized for them. There were no RFEs and no issues at the interview. London did not ask for proof of all that, but you do need to give them what they ask for.

Oh my husband won't ever forget it that's for sure. 😆

I can confirm that back in the day they certainly would do those sorts of checks. Thankfully not any more.

Oh my god. Don't do drugs kids. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/alaska-airlines-pilot-arrest-joseph-emerson-psychedelic-mushrooms/283-5d9c6df6-09c1-4f99-899b-825c3d072312

Hey NB! 🌹 It has been a long time, hope all is well with you too! I'm doing okay. Hubby just got his citizenship last week, it's so amazing to never have to worry about this stuff ever again.

Well he sounds nice. I hope he goes away for a long long time.

Officers at the ceremony were talking about this. Overheard it started yesterday immediately in fact. Had quite a few Israelis and those from middle eastern countries in the room. All were so happy and engaged with each other, as unified new Americans.

At this point I'm not even sure who is scamming whom.

Good grief! Has the girlfriend met the wife? You know way back in the day, my husband came to see me and had I dunno... something like $200 in his pocket and was going to stay with me. Now the officer did admonish him for having such a "low" amount, but at the time my husband explained that he was a student, that I/family would be paying for his stay, and that he had a bank account with plenty of money in it. Of course they did grill him, as it was his first trip here, but for every probing question asked my husband had a truthful and correct answer. Not sure what happened here, but I hope the wife knows what her husband is up to. Also the comments on this facebook post are.....uuumm... I started yelling at the screen and had to close the window.

OP: If you get vaccines done by your GP before you have the interview, please make sure that you bring proof of doing so with you to the US. If there are more vaccines in your series to get, ensure you have proof of that too. If you wait to receive vaccines in the US, you will need proof as well. You will need to go to a US Civil Surgeon (not just any doctor) that is willing (and not all are willing) do certify the vaccine portion of the form. All in all, it is prudent, less costly, and less of a hassle to have all vaccines before your medical, during medical, or before interview. If not, that's certainly fine - BUT you will need to be on top of this before your AOS, and it certainly will be very costly in the US.

Online was about the easiest thing we've ever done for this entire journey. I wish all the forms could be this way!

Apply for SSN as soon as possible. Marry as soon as possible. Add new spouse to your plan, or purchase a plan that works for you and your spouse. When the spouse is finally able to work they may be able to obtain their own coverage.

Good grief what a strange thing for a lawyer to scaremonger on their website. Anyway prior to 1994, do we know anyone who may have been denaturalized due to living abroad? Or was it one of those things that was not enforced? I ask because I'm sure there were plenty of dual citizens that were famous that enjoyed living in both countries, just as they do now. My great grandmother would usually spend time living in both of her countries with no issues that I am aware of. Researching naturalization records is something I do regularly for genealogy. I don't know any ancestor on his or my side that had problems. I mean 22 USC 1731 provides the same protections to naturalized citizens as native born while living abroad. The 1964 SCOTUS case was pretty clear as well. It stated that doing what this law firm suggests is unconstitutional. It's not a murky or grey area as many SCOTUS cases can be. The history of the 1964 case, dated back to the 1907 Nationality Act, which could be rebutted. The 1940 introduced rule to 'strengthen' that act, SCOTUS determined was clearly unconstitutional. The justices determined the test for expatriation was quite high under the constitution and the government had flagrantly not met that test. Looking back at the wording of the decision shows their reasoning and other examples that strengthens the ruling. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/377/163 There are lots of deep analysis on this case so it's funny this law group ignores that. I think they need to get a new intern! Also Cenk is an idiot. I can't wait for him to get tossed out of court.
