Breaking-News report, break for news man: Ecu got bounced from the Kickball tournament, bye man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was in tears, admit ex-she man. Cousin Mini-B. was depressed, report ex-she man about senior wee man. Who could possibly get so upset about a Kickball session, huh man?

The consulates can extend I-129F petition validity for 4-month periods for up to a year. They often do this automatically; however, it's best to e-mail the consulate to request extension.

Any KMart left in the Keys, or all closed now?

Read that. Would've been poetic justice had an EV been the source.

Ecu got bounced. People locally were in tears. Who could possibly get so upset about results of a Kickball session?

I remember an article from years ago about construction activity that ground to a halt when it was discovered that a spotted owl had built a nest in a KMart sign.

Who could have known that The Netherlands is such a large exporter of food?

Although everyone ends up trying to emulate NB at some point, no one can attain his level. And here it returns, upon the bestowal of sufficient upvotes.

It's Wednesday already, and time for our hilarious, spirit-lifting, approval-evoking (if correlation = causation) Semiweekly Semiofficial VAWA-Thread Joke: =============================================== INVITING A FRIEND OVER With no warning, a husband said to his wife, "Honey, I have invited a friend home for supper tonight." The displeased wife replied, "What? Are you crazy? The house is a mess, I didn't have time to go shopping, all the dishes are dirty, and I don't feel like cooking a fancy meal tonight!" The husband said, "I know all that." "Then why in the world did you invite your friend for supper tonight?" asked the wife. "The poor fool is thinking about getting married."

Netherlands seizing, closing thousands of farms to fight climate change Back during the summer, farmers in the Netherlands shut down the nation's roadways for days with lines of tractors and other farm equipment. They were protesting the government's plan to vastly reduce the amount of livestock and other farming activity in the country to reduce their overall nitrogen emissions by half. After that, the situation calmed down for a while, but apparently, the Dutch government didn't get the message. They are now moving forward with the plan anyway. Up to 3,000 farmers have been notified that they will be subjected to a "compulsory purchase" of their land and the farms will be shut down.

Also one of my distinct favorites. Mrs. T-B.'s relatives from Ecu all had different #1 favorite stores. Their #2 favorite, without exception, was Sears.

OP, do this. ^^^ The immigration advice that people can give you has been given.

Yes, if during the 4-month validity period you write to them, schedule the interview, or both. I-129F petitions have a 4-month lifespan at the consulates. The consulates typically extend petition validity automatically (they can do so for up to 12 months' total time); however, it's far better to contact them to ask them to extend the validity. Their response dually serves as a paper trail and to alleviate your concerns.

If the corporation had left the Sears Hardware stores open, I'd have bought every appliance there during kitchen renovation several years ago. Instead, I was forced to deal with Lowe's and Home Despot. Not many years ago, they closed the exceptionally high-volume Sears store near me, purely to sell the real estate. That one had lines of people wrapped around 3 sides of the store while waiting for Black Friday openings.

Me, too. I liked the smell of the pages, as well.

Sad, mismanaged, and inevitable.

Every time I visit one of these, I leave irritated. Multiple reasons. Music to the ears, Y ma'am. Good! Do it again.

Isn't this what they're born to do? "99% of all lawyers give the rest a bad name."

Control of population? The sad, infuriating (equal parts) part is that these people both "know better" and have the wherewithal to start or even achieve these things. And, Supreme Leaderette Half-Whitmer would be perfectly suited to do what the Bee article suggests.
