I concur. I have traveled both international and domestic flights recently and observed the CBP checking. I even saw them remove an individual from the plane.

Well this somewhat old fashioned, anti social, high standards, didn't actually date in the traditional sense gal finds this article very insufferable. If people want to be single then I'd say in many cases this is a good thing because a lot of them these days don't seem to be ready in any form to be in a committed relationship. The tales of woe I've heard from recently divorced or soon to be divorced or those in a continual loop of failed relationships that I've known... one thing stands out - they or the partner had no business being in a relationship to begin with. The author is talking about the notion of marriage as an insurance policy, what a strange way to think of a loving partnership. Women and men should have reasonable expectations and high standards. Having a relationship or getting married used to be tossed up as some important rite of passage to achieve satisfaction or favor, so that unreasonable expectations were placed upon it. One does not need to be married to be happy, one does not need to be alone to be happy, and one can be alone and be happy. One does not even need to be married to have children, though if you do my standards go even higher - because the suffering caused upon children due to their parent's selfish choices raise my ire.

I'm going to tell you what I told a male friend of mine going through a divorce. In his case he devoted a huge chunk of his life to a lady, had a kid, and then she threatened to take everything from him. You have to get mad enough to stop being taken advantage of and you need a competent attorney. Divorce, get out, move on with your life. There is nothing left for you in this relationship with her, because there never was a true relationship to begin with. Likely you saw the warning signs, and ignored them. People likely questioned and warned you, not out of maliciousness, but out of concern for your well-being. People are not perfect, and make mistakes. If such mistakes result in not having a parsonage or being a pastor at a location, then you need a backup plan - not just for yourself, but for your child. Perhaps this kind of change is a new direction that's needed in your life. As a pastor you should understand that what this lady is asking you to do is live in sin. A type of sin that is lying to yourself, your family, your parishioners, your church, your government, and your god. You were a ride and she'd like you to continue to be that ride. Biblically, what are you told to do? You might think it is to offer some charity and continue to dig yourself deeper into the hole of the lie because you are afraid of what will happen to her. But that is just stumbling some more. Yes, she might be taken and removed - well, that's a her problem. If she wants to turn herself in - okay, call the bluff. She has proven herself to be resourceful in such a short time, I guarantee she will move onto her next best scam. You ask if she loves you, and you already know the answer to that question. It is clear in everything you have stated. It is unpleasant to think about I know, but she doesn't need to tell you what you already know. I'm sure she is desperate. Her desperation has nothing to do with you. She was not desperate enough to love you. What did Jesus do when he entered the temple and saw the money changers? Did he offer sympathy or charity? Was there offers of love or acceptance of their blatant behavior? Did he tell them they could stay and do their thing in case they got into some trouble? No. I'm not trying to come off as harsh but you need to think of yourself and your kid. I am the child of a former pastor who once made the choice to upend his family and leave that parish house and ministry because it started to feel like a millstone around one's neck instead of a calling. It was very difficult for a time, but I often remind him, of how far he came and what blessings came of it, in the times he likes to forget.

While a K1 visa holder does not need vaccinations to enter the US, it is always advisable for a K1 visa applicant to obtain any and all required vaccinations in their home country before entering the US. The process of obtaining vaccinations stateside is expensive and can contribute to needless delay.

I have actually been following this story, because it is the first time that I have ever heard about this group, but supposedly they have been on law enforcement radar for being particularly violent quasi sovereign citizens manson-esque death cult. I know that NYPost is preferring the term leftist, but it is vastly more complicated because it's nothing to do with political ideology. Simply put it seems they believe in a fatalist type of rationalism, end of the world type stuff, with a dash of transhumanism (modifying or evolving oneself into a higher species), alternate timelines, also mind control, worship of mathematics, and magic powers type stuff. Being trans in this group has little to do with sexuality and more with possessing a male and female entity of multiple personalities inside of them evolving to a higher power or some such nonsense. https://openvallejo.org/2025/01/27/suspects-in-killings-of-vallejo-witness-vermont-border-patrol-agent-connected-by-marriage-license-extreme-ideology/ https://davidzmorris.substack.com/p/deepseek-and-the-ai-murder-cult

Apparently there was only one ATC monitoring both airplane and helicopter traffic instead of two. Another helicopter near-miss had happened the night prior. That time the plane's TCAS system warned the pilot in time to pull to safety so it would seem that again the helicopter was not flying in the zone and at the altitude it's supposed to be restricted to. Supposedly PAT25 was also flying at the wrong altitude and not on the right course. So what's going on with that? There is some criticism that the ATC was not more specific when they asked PAT25 to confirm that they had visual on the plane. It may have helped yes, but I think by that time it was too late. Clearly the helicopter was not paying attention. I feel so terrible about the whole thing.. the poor pilot had no idea what was coming at him.

Since you have your EAD and SSN, most of the hard part is done. They could require some other documents like name on a bill or bank account but their website seems pretty straightforward with info. Many states will allow someone who is already licensed in another country to obtain a US license a lot easier than someone just starting out. Generally passing the written test and road test, rather than spending hours of driving time and classroom time. Note that the license they issue you may only be for as long as your EAD is valid for in some states. When you have your green card, go back to the DMV, update your status and they will issue you a full one.

Well I mean Dulles and BWI is also not very far from these places and flights are restricted from going into certain areas. On 9/11 the attackers chose a Dulles flight. Any plane anywhere at any time can be a security risk. Last year there were several close calls at Reagan, owing to the lack of ATC personnel and distracted pilots - that doesn't seem to be the case here. This Blackhawk was familiar with the route, it's a published route for helicopters and the ATC staff seem genuinely shocked by what the helicopter did. Flying into this airport it's very common to see Blackhawks right from your aircraft windows coming in to land. Training at night with no lights in this area seems to be too risky for any big city like this. I live close to a military base so the daily annoyance of explosions and low flying military aircraft intersecting with commercial craft are common. Initially I wondered if this was intentional.. but it seems they were confused about which craft they had visualized.

Seems clear that the Blackhawk was at fault and when they confirmed with the ATC they had visual, they had actually sighted the wrong plane. That airplane didn't even have a chance... It did not come from that base. It came from Fort Belvoir.

So here's the thing... green cards are for living in the US. Your general plan here is to have him come to you. Okay, you can certainly do that with a spousal visa process if you marry. But then you want to go to Ireland and live there, and well, the big issue I see is that you need to finish ONE immigration process (it's going to take conservatively with no hiccups.. 5ish-6ish years) before beginning another (otherwise you forfeit the process you went through), and that's going to take a lot of time. You'll also need to ensure understanding of Irish immigration law before beginning on that side of things and once going to Ireland you'll need to ensure that you understand tax obligations on worldwide income as dual citizens.

I think the question is really what is the biggest priority for you two? If it is working as soon as possible, then it would seem that, though lengthy, a CR1 is going to be the best option, especially if she's there now and you can marry and then she can return home. Of course some don't like the idea of being married and then being apart again for some time. Over the next four years we will be entering a period of some uncertainty when it comes to immigration policies. Me and my husband went the K1 way, and the times are long now. Looking back, though we had significant savings, it was still not enough for the length of time it took. The adjustment process (even with an EAD) was even longer and it will be worse now, and employers weren't interested unless they saw a green card anyway. The process worked for us, but I wouldn't recommend it to others these days unless very specific situations. These days it makes sense to go with a CR1.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 😏

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.

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.

I have been to NJ once. Never again. If the aliens ever come to NJ in search of something, they'll never find it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

His family is one of the wealthiest in the state of MD.

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.
