Honolulu would be our pick. I had my wife fly through HON with a connecting flight to PHX in May of last year. We picked that so she would have the least amount of connections possible and no connecting flight in other countries. She said it was a super easy time in customs, only took a minute or 2 and she was on to waiting for her flight to Phoenix. She had never flown before and was a little concerned about navigating a much larger airport like LAX before coming to Phoenix. Section from he said everyone in HON was very nice and helpful. The only thing they asked her was if she had any chicharrónes in her bag 😁 On a side note. On her connection from HON to PHX she sat in a wrong seat, a first class seat. A young woman in a military uniform said "excuse me, I think you are in my seat". My wife started to get up but the young woman smiled and asked her what seat she was supposed to be in. She showed her the boarding pass and the seat was back in coach. The military woman told her to stay in first class seat and she took her seat in coach. Could not have been a better experience on her first trip and first time in the US.

I like the "he is also planning to" part of this ridiculous statement. When you say he is also planning to do this or that, are you speculating in your own head or do you have evidence of President Trump saying he would do this? Maybe you heard from someone who went to school with a guy who knew another guy who had a friend of a co-workers's cousin heard Trump say it. But that doesn't really count. -

Enemy or not, if they deserve to be investigated, I'm all for it. -

Trump Appointees & Nominees

Some would say that pushback by some Republicans means he is the right man for the job. Those pushing back are the problem in the Republican party. -
Here is what should happen. Close the border to anyone not doing the process that those of us on this site have done. If someone is here illegally, no matter how long they have been here illegally, they need to apply to get in and get in the back of the line (No special consideration for those who came here the wrong way).
-
The great myth is that those illegals do the work Americans won't do. The truth is as you said, those illegals undercut the wages and they will do those jobs cheaper than an American is willing to do. If those doing those jobs were to leave, businesses who need workers will be forced to pay competitive wages. I thought the left was all about higher wages.

There isn't a single illegal alien unemployed in your state? Not a single one attending school on the taxpayers dime? Not a single illegal getting an education for free? Nobody illegal getting free Healthcare, housing or groceries? We have too many people in this country who struggle, we need to take care of those people first. There is NO reason why anyone should have an easier time getting into this country than those of us on this site who have spent years and money doing things the right way. Go through the process like good, honest people have done or return to your country and get in line like so many of us have done with our loved ones.

Sending people to their home countries to do it the right way is a lot cheaper than taking care of those same people for an indefinite amount of time in the US. Someone has to pay for the housing, education, medical care etc. The American people have to pay for that. I happily and voluntarily chose to financially support my wife through a legal process where she was vetted. I did NOT consent to my taxpayer dollars go to financially support 11 million illegals. Notice how anyone who supports illegal immigration never wants to volunteer to have random illegal aliens living in their household. If they want illegals in their home with their family, let ME choose who lives with them.

Took my wife and I 23 months to get the K1 done under Joe Biden. If you look at wait times under Trump it was less than half that time. I think Biden's focus was on helping illegals, not those of us who went about it the right way.

Was the last conviction that resulted in a lifetime ban the "indecent sexual connection with a person under 16" you mentioned in a previous thread? To be honest I can understand why any country (not just the US) would want to take on that risk. All of the rehabilitation in the world isn't going to matter much to any country when they want to protect their children. Regardless of his background of being abused himself as a minor, I don't see any path forward.

Bulky I-751 Application

Yes, efficiency is great. -
Bulky I-751 Application
MarJhi replied to Blessyme's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
Cool, Just stating my experience and that's that. Small packet, no issues, no RFE's, no problems . And in any line of work I have been in, when employees are running towards the end of the work day they will pick a smaller workload over tackling a larger workload every time. But unless we are in the room where the processing is being done we will never actually know😁 -

Not to sound judgemental but WOW, that is a huge packet. We used an attorney and although I didn't count the pages, it couldn't have been more than 40 or 50 pages at most. I would imagine whoever is doing the processing and they see a small packet versus a 700 or 800 behemoth, they will probably put off the big packet. -
How about subscribing to news/opinion channels on Youtube? My wife never had any issues watching news and/opinion channels on Youtube when she was still there. I had to let her know there was something out there that was different from the curated content they were seeing on Facebook, which is where many in the Philippines get their news. I was amazed out how one sided the news channels were at the hotels I stayed in but should not have been since it was mostly CNN Asia. Best piece of advice, make sure she gets a balanced diet from both sides so she knows that "news" is really just opinions of the management of the various sources in most cases these days. She needs to figure out who is being honest and who is trying to manipulate her with their "reporting" so she can decide who is full of it, so to speak.

Yeah you probably should have jumped on that Social Security card a lot quicker. We went down to the local SocSec office within the first week of my wife's arrival at the end of May last year. Just dedicate a full day and go down to your local office and get stuff done!
