I have seen appeals but did not think there was a set response time. Not seen any recently. Lets say they will reconsider then something that is not a simple process which suggests not quick. i have seen turnarounds but not recently and forget how long they took. Seems unusual but very fact specific.

Needing a waiver would have been reviewed at the Consulate before being required. obviously we do not know the details, do you have the waiver ready to go? I believe you could do both.

Agree student visa seems unlikely and very expensive. Also wondering what the Sisters status is. Sort of sounds like she is in Spain? There was a forum that sort of specialised in waivers but that closed down a long time ago. i can think of quite a few Lawyers that are well versed in waivers, just wondering what the issue was that the Lawyers you consulted with raised. Biggie issue that comes to mind is the QR is a recently arrived LPR.

Ooops

There are very few cheap tickets and those are up in the gods, not where you would want to be.

Which games are you going to, do you have tickets?

First time I have come across such a suggestion

Disagree with the Lawyer, is this a real Lawyer?

Depends on how keen you are to get it approved.

3. After a few more visits

It is a Christmas wonder.

It is Affordable says so on the tin

As I understand it the COVID extra subsidies have not been renewed, so has reverted to pre COVID levels.

If you submit to Montreal by definition it will be DCF. If you go that route best to have a job and a start date.

https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-homelessness-spending-audit-24b-five-years-didnt-consistently-track-outcomes/ California spent $24 billion to tackle homelessness over the past five years but didn't consistently track whether the huge outlay of public money actually improved the situation, according to state audit released Tuesday. With makeshift tents lining the streets and disrupting businesses in cities and towns throughout California, homelessness has become one of the most frustrating and seemingly intractable issues in the country's most populous state. An estimated 171,000 people are homeless in California, which amounts to roughly 30% of all of the homeless people in the U.S. Despite the roughly billions of dollars spent on more than 30 homeless and housing programs during the 2018-2023 fiscal years, California doesn't have reliable data needed to fully understand why the problem didn't improve in many cities, according to state auditor's report. Wonder how much disappeared into the hands of politicians and their buddies?

I 130 etc in this case. It is to reunify your family. Not sure that would work for Montral, feet on the ground is better.

You are applying for a family reunification visa.

I would say job and start date for DCF.

I think they missed the point, H1b should be for short term, EB for long term and they have become merged.

CNN of couse asks an Army guy..... Anyway the US Navy has major problems building ships to replace those currently in service. The old adage that Naval Capacity is Built Capacity comes to mind, how long is it taken for the new Aircraft carriers to come on line, how many recent projects have been cancelled, talk of subcontracting the South Korea or Japan, looks like they will be using UK for Submarine hulls. All a bit sad, and Battleship in this context does not mean WW2, after all 30,000 tons is the size of a Treaty Battleshipe before WW2.

I have seen people who have been in the US 20 plus years as a student. There is a proposa to stop this but I do not think it is currently in force.

I have seen fundraisers for both medical and travel so a combined one why not? I would have thought an Airline would provide decent medical cover.

https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-grandmother-dead-easyjet-flight-b2888869.html Several fellow passengers claimed on social media that the woman was “already dead” when boarding the Airbus A319 aircraft in a wheelchair. However, according to easyJet, it was only after boarding the flight that the customer required medical assistance, then “sadly passed away”. The airline added that the woman was flying in the care of two medical professionals with a “fit to fly” certificate. Passenger Petra Boddington told The Sun: “Anybody with eyes could see that she was not fit to fly, and it wasn’t just me that thought it, it was everybody else that she went past. “People sat in front of me even said they’d seen the people that were with her holding her head up. “We all thought that she looked dead.” Witnesses said that the plane had begun taxiing to the runway when the cabin crew were alerted to the passenger’s death and returned to the gate.

Previously, the number of VAWA self-petitions we received each year generally grew at a rate similar to other immigration benefits. However, since 2020, we have seen an unprecedented rise in VAWA receipts. Along with a substantial increase in the number of filings, we also saw significant changes in the characteristics of aliens submitting VAWA self-petitions. In addition to the increase in male self-petitioners cited above, we also saw a 2239% increase in parents submitting VAWA self-petitions from fiscal year 2020 to 2024. These have not traditionally been populations filing for VAWA.
