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.

How is it whenever someone supposedly sees one of these things the person has a phone or camera that is of terrible quality? *shrugs* Went hiking the other week to an area that is known for being haunted and having a type of cryptid. Did not see or hear anything other than a fair few snakes.

Hearing reports Lebanon/Hezbollah has invaded. US urging all citizens to get out.

As an atheist my husband wanted to omit the "so help me god" part of the oath. The officer only wanted to know what religion or non religion my husband was and his reasoning. No evidence or documentation requested. He said my husband simply could omit that part during the ceremony.

My husband had his Naturalization interview last week. Ironically the day after Kevin McCarthy got tossed out of speakership, so we wondered how that question could be answered correctly if it came up. It was quite a long trip for us, as we were on vacation in another state and I wasn't sure if I would be allowed in with him so he went in by himself. He arrived 20 minutes before his appointment. It wasn't too busy. There was TSA style security first, and then waiting for his appointment was about 45 minutes. You are given a number which is supposed to show up on the screen. His number took about 20 minutes to appear on the screen, so if your number doesn't appear immediately don't worry. His interview was about 10 minutes in length. The officer was very polite and no-nonsense. He asked for his NOA and asked for his US ID and his green card. My husband was very nervous and accidently handed him his UK driving license instead of his US one without realizing it. The officer was confused by this, but eventually that got cleared up, and had a laugh. He asked to confirm personal details and a few of the N400 questions. Keep in mind we had been initially nervous about tax questions, since we were unable to obtain every single tax transcript from the IRS (the IRS won't give them to you after a certain date), but were able to give them tax forms. But the officer did not want to see any of it. So I'd say as long as you have some sort of a combination of transcripts and forms this is not really an issue. He asked the six questions: 1) What is the economic system in the United States? 2) In what month do we vote for President? 3) What is the name of the Vice President? 4) Who is the Commander in Chief of the military? 5) What is one responsibility that is only for US citizens? 6) Who was President during the Great Depression and WW II? (hilariously the question that would trip him up the most) The reading was: When is Columbus Day? The writing was: Columbus Day is in October. He was informed that he had passed the test and that he needed to confirm the information that was going to be on his naturalization certificate. After showing him the Oath, my husband requested a modified oath, which was granted. He was then informed that he would be notified by mail that his oath ceremony would be scheduled. Later in the day the website updated to reflect his Oath ceremony would be scheduled, and the next morning his Oath appointment letter was uploaded. The ceremony is next week. All in all this has been a shockingly fast and easy process. Afterwards, since we were all dressed up we went on a nice date in the city before making the long trek back to our hotel. I hope this review helps others as to what to expect for Baltimore. It's a nice big facility that is not in the best area these days unfortunately. All in all the end of the journey has been the most simple experience. Thank you to all the guys and gals on VJ that has helped us through this whole process over many years.

My husband had his citizenship interview at Baltimore on the 4th of October. The staff were friendly and kind. The officer was very nice and answered all his questions. My husband had studied hard and got all six questions correct. He recommended immediate approval, and by the end of day it had gone through. Oath ceremony is already scheduled for the 19th of October. Can barely believe it's finally over. He started feeling teary last night. So proud of him!

May she finally be at peace.

Supposedly there is now an FBI counterintelligence case against him.

Sometime in August Trooper Dempsey Walters, got into an argument with a 17 year old who he accused of wrongdoing (he was in fact not charged with wrongdoing), who was then escorted back to his parent's home. Later on that month, a group of teenagers that don't seem to be related, approached Walter's home to do a ''ding dong ditch'' prank. A 15 year old kicked the officer's front door and ran away. It seems that Walters appeared to initially believe that this prank was related to the 17 year old, so he went to his house with other officers to arrest him with enough force to injure him. While they did not formerly arrest him, he was certainly detained when he had nothing to do with the prank. When the 15 year old was eventually arrested, Walters kneeled on him and later beat the handcuffed subject in the face, breaking bones, all while turning off his police camera. He was unaware that even when his camera was turned off, it still recorded long enough to provide footage to investigators. He had initially called this in as an attempted break-in, which caused the department to use helicopter and K9 resources. Video footage showed that the teens were not breaking in at all. https://whyy.org/articles/delaware-trooper-charged-assault-teenagers-ding-dong-ditch-prank/ This event is just one of the numerous cases of officers doing bad things in Delaware, and it has been plagued by numerous corruption scandals, and events such as a man who was left beaten and robbed in a park while police officers literally across the street, refused to respond or send 911 assistance. https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2023/09/26/delaware-state-police-trooper-dempsey-walters-charged-teen-assault-prank/70963993007/

I can't believe he's really trying to say he's just got the ''grandpa that hides money in his socks" syndrome.

Other portions of the indictment seem to imply some ''light treason''. This guy has got to go away for the rest of his life. The wife seems to have been the major facilitator in all corrupt actions. Encouraging, transferring, and engaging in dealings to further certain agendas in exchange for lavish 'gifts'. She seems to have strong ties to all the co-conspirators and able to contact Egyptian officials regularly. Is she some kind of foreign agent? This article from a while back gives some details. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/sen-bob-menendez-indicted-federal-charges-rcna111447

It can be customary to put a photocopy of the DS3025 in your AOS package. Regardless of if you do or not, will not guarantee you from getting an RFE, something my husband discovered during his journey. What happened? We're still not sure. The RFE did not offer any clues. We could only guess that the officer was a newbie, had lost the documents, or was too lazy to check the file. Still, we complied. A brand new medical is not necessary, but in case of an RFE, it requires finding a US civil surgeon, willing to sign off and recertify an I-693 (the vaccine portion only). We sent in the sealed envelope from the civil surgeon (who had seen a lot of things but was also puzzled), a print out of the USCIS's own policy when it pertains to the K1 adjustment medical rules, and a firmly worded "educational'' letter. We were approved immediately not long after.

Whelp, this one is a doozy of an indictment. That's a lot of cash and gold bars laying around your house for the feds to find. Seems he was also selling secrets to the Egyptians. You can read the indictment here. It is INSANE. You could make a movie about this: https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/robert-menendez-indictment-document/e9ff4e956cb8dfc9/full.pdf There is a passage that caught my eye: "Third, MENENDEZ promised to and did use his influence and power and breach his official duty to recommend that the President nominate an individual as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey who MENENDEZ believed could be influenced by MENENDEZ {....}" Was the President interviewed? What did the President know and when did he know it?

Quite a lengthy investigation going on here in Baltimore but the scheme involves scamming foreign investors into buying derelict property and convincing them that they are beautiful inside and that they are collecting piles of cash in rent. Unfortunately, they essentially become slumlords, owning properties for drug dens, where people are have died, been firebombed, or condemned. Several such properties resulted in the deaths of firefighters in massive blazes. If you ever wonder why there are scores of vacant and dangerous rowhomes in Baltimore, amid sky-high rent, and lack of good homes for people to live in, look no further to yet another weird problem the city has on it's hands, that it will do nothing about. One thing I love about the city I grew up in, was the fantastic architecture. These blighted properties once had good bones and now have been left to rot.

As with anything it boils down to incompetent employees at the DMV, the hellbane of most everyone's existence.

So why are they now saying there has to be a two-day 'stand down' for all domestic and international F35s?

I have questions. Like why was it on autopilot? Why did the pilot eject if the plane is functional and could be flying itself? Why is there no way to like detect it? We've had jets patrolling the area like crazy this weekend. I'm guessing they are looking for something or someone keeps getting into the NOTAM/TFR area.

Rachel Morin told her boyfriend that she was going for a run on a popular trail in the small town of Bel Air, Maryland. When she did not return, her boyfriend contacted police. The police said they had looked through the trail and could not find her, so it was initially thought of as perhaps a kidnapping. What was concerning to me is that they allowed the public to come to the trail and search, potentially contaminating the scene. We go to the trails and woodlands in the Bel Air area a lot, and after a few very frightening incidents, our list is growing smaller unfortunately and now we do not go walking/hiking without some sort of weapon. There were reasons to be suspicious of the boyfriend. He has a past criminal history, it was a very recent relationship. There were a few other suspects too - a creepy man was seen stalking women where she worked. There is also a homeless camp at the end of this particular trail. None of these panned out. Rachel was easily found by members of the public search party, within 24hrs of her going missing on the trail in a small tunnel, that is not very well-lit, but certainly open enough I have no idea why the police could not find her initially. While the police haven't mentioned the particulars of the case, it is said to be a brutal murder and rape. This is usually a busy trail, and no one questioned is said to have seen or heard anything. A few days later a creepy man claiming to have found her, was interviewed by the news and gave many horrific but confusing details to the press. Some of these 'details' continue to be falsely written today. They did not verify his story, and ultimately the police said this man was not only a grifter but he was lying for 'fame'. Rachel's family has tried very hard to enlist the public and media's help to find her killer. They have funds set up for her children. Have asked profilers to assist, and have had many charity events and held public pleas for help. The trail is now basically a memorial, and many from the town no longer feel safe walking. Some time later the police held a conference to announce that through DNA evidence, Rachel's killer was involved in a crime LA last year. We know little about the case as it involved the rape of a minor. But there was video of the suspect from behind - he appears to be Hispanic with some distinguishing features. As the weeks have gone on, it is possible the FBI has found links to another case in Chicago - and it is for this reason the police believe the suspect to be a serial killer or serial rapist. Rachel Morin left behind five children and a family that is desperate. Her killer is traveling and could be anywhere. Here are links to the case with videos of the suspect from the LA incident. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/09/11/rachel-morin-case-updates-criminal-profiler/70825144007/ https://www.fox5dc.com/news/rachel-morin-murder-maryland-sheriff-says-suspect-on-the-loose-could-strike-again https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/criminal-justice/rachel-morin-memorial-walk-bel-air-PYYWZG7PPJFDJMJKMTNFRGPCJI/ https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/harford-county/detectives-pursue-leads-in-la-chicago-in-rachel-morin-murder-investigation-7Y7VTH4OEVE6XEARKOYSIK47XM/ https://www.gofundme.com/f/rachel-morin-funeral-and-memorial-fund
