Time for us to return to the OP's topic.

Did your ghost take Pepto-Bismol and feel better later?

Yes, all paper. Those individual files will certainly thicken as the steps progress. Heaven forbid that a USCIS staffer would misfile a folder in a box going someplace it shouldn't...

Seen in the news, seen man: "Poland will hold a presidential runoff election on Sunday, with polls indicating a neck-and-neck race between a liberal pro-European Union mayor and a Trump-backed conservative from the Law and Justice (PiS) party, oj tak." It's cool to have a PiS party, oj tak. We suspect that the vote tallies will be Many,000,000 to Many,000,000, oj tak. Like always, depending on the definition of Many, they will never pick a president, oj nie. And where exactly is our Polish Commie-babe Asia to comment on all this, oj huh huh huh? Bad absent Asia! Bad, BAD absent ABSENT Asia!

A Tense Poland Votes as the World Watches Poland will hold a presidential runoff election on Sunday, with polls indicating a neck-and-neck race between a liberal pro-European Union mayor and a Trump-backed conservative from the Law and Justice (PiS) party. Leaders throughout Europe will be watching closely because of the election's implications for the future of NATO, Ukraine, and the European Union.

I remember reading here, years ago, that USCIS uses forklifts to transport pallet after pallet of boxes (of petitions) within their warehouses.

Welcome to the forum! The instructions for 5 years are less stringent than those for 3 years. Read carefully, interpret literally, and react/respond completely and honestly. If the marriage certificate isn't required, then it isn't required. Should the interviewing officer ask, explain as you have to us, supply your divorce certificate, and point out that the materials already in your file support your marital history. Be sure to give us updates when things happen!

Yeah, right. Didn't Charmin toilet paper have "kush," or was that "cush"?

If interested in laddering (CDs expiring in sequence over months or years), see the 3-, 4-, and 5-year rates here: https://www.farmbureau.bank/Resources/Rates/Deposit-Rates As said earlier, you need not be a member of a farm bureau to purchase one. The customer-service lady spent nearly half an hour on the phone with me, answering my questions. She says that you can register a joint owner during purchase, and (this is a boon!) also concurrently ask for accrued monthly interest to be paid out without having to perform a second step later (phoning, filing another form, etc.).

White House Releases Heartbreaking Update on DJ Daniel Remember DJ Daniel? In case you don't, he's the 13-year-old boy with terminal brain cancer who appeared as a guest of Donald and Melania Trump at the president's speech to a joint session of Congress in March. Daniel dreams of becoming a law enforcement officer when he grows up, but the reality is that he may not reach those dreams. On that night in March, President Trump and Secret Service director Sean Curran made him an honorary Secret Service agent. If you still don't remember, he's the little boy with terminal brain cancer whom Democrats refused to stand up and clap for during the speech, showing just how vile and despicable they truly are. Anyway, the White House released a statement on social media on Friday, informing the country that it was time to lift DJ up in prayer after his father had shared some troubling news.

Congratulations on the great news, and thanks for returning with your update!

Uncle T-B. to be transferred to Skilled Noosering anytime now, si man. Hospital doing phenomenally at keeping us posted, amazing man. Hope transfer happens before we must take Mama T-B. to her doc caucus, fingers crossed man.

Yes. Highest CDs I'm seeing are mid-4% for 7 to 9 months, but I'm looking at longer-term. Look at Eagle Bank for 12 to 24 months, and Farm Bureau Bank for 3, 4, and 5 years (4.20% APY, 4.11% interest rate as of May 29). You need not be a member of a farm bureau to buy a CD from the latter. Edited to add: A while back, a New York Life annuity (the cream of the crop) was paying something like 7%. Great, then! If you can afford to lose it, hang on until your sensibilities or price trends say otherwise. You can always cash out now and reinvest the original $40K into Tesla, now or later.

This article is to be savored while reading. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Harvard is so screwed... The house of cards is collapsing at Harvard, and this time, it's not just conservative media sounding the alarm. Even The New York Times is reporting that Harvard has quietly admitted it's in "a major, major, major crisis." And that's their words, not ours. Federal funding is drying up, legal heat is rising, and the university's once-bulletproof prestige is now being shredded like a block of cheese. So, what happened? Well, it's the same thing that's unraveling elite institutions across the country: woke ideology, DEI fanaticism, and a toxic obsession with politics over principle. Harvard officials are in full-blown panic mode, and even the New York Times is admitting Trump holds all the cards. This isn't just a slap on the wrist. It's checkmate.
