NYTimes travel question with bad advice
Boiler replied to jackiegringa's topic in US Immigration News and Discussion
I think I saw a case on here where someone had travelled after filing to adjust and when they were away their adjustment was denied so their AP was cancelled. -

Thanks, my question would be what does Bahama require? -
NYTimes travel question with bad advice
Boiler replied to jackiegringa's topic in US Immigration News and Discussion
I think it has been said you can enter the US with your GC, now no way would I recommend it, for most situation how would it work, how would you get on a plane? Maybe at the land borders but strikes me as a really silly thing to try. I have never been on a Cruise like this, how does it work, do you have to go through local Immigration at every stop? -

It is behind a paywall, I think subscribers have so many gift links. I think it is the other way around, a Port of Entry has fairly wide discretion to refuse entry to non US Citizens and Permanent Residents. If there is a particular link to say US Citizens and Permanent Residents cannot be refused entry that is not something I have come across. Lawyers say weird stuff all the time, well that is just stuff I know about, I assume the same applies to areas I do not or am not sure about. -

Could Gaza Be the Next Hong Kong?
Boiler replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
I do not buy the basic premise that there are on the one hand Palestinians and the other this alien species called Hamas. I also know that Hamas are not the only group in Gaza, there are quite a few others many of which are far worse than Hamas. They are united in their hatred of Israel. Without Israel it is reasonable to assume they would turn on each other. They sort of do now. -

Sponsoring From Outside of The US

I can see they may be suspicious about her intent and may wish to see her clearly relocate first. -
I have no idea why it was cancelled. Book another appointment when one becomes available.

Timeframes jumped from 1 week to 2 months today
Boiler replied to mapi's topic in National Visa Center (Dept of State)
I seriously doubt there has been any change to the workload, what does bounce around are the numbers on the eb site that seem to have at best a tenuous connection with reality. -
Detained & Sent Back for Not Having Enough Cash [split topic]
Boiler replied to Shae B's topic in Tourist Visas
Actually it is about USD65, an extra 1 seems to have got in there. I entered once and they asked me how much I had on me and it was less that $20, the change left over from a previous trip. There are certain clues in the story that attracted my attention, however no point going any further when there is no one to ask. The only people to contact is the Consulate to see if he can get a visa. Assuming he has any future plans to visit the US. -

I thought this was interesting, the EU has many issues of course and this is not the one thing I thought would bring it down. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/22/migration-eu-diplomat-josep-borrell-ukraine-china Migration could be “a dissolving force for the European Union” due to deep cultural differences between European countries and their long-term inability to reach a common policy, the EU’s most senior diplomat has said. Although Russia will try to fan the flames on migration inside Europe, Josep Borrell denied that the conflict in Ukraine was contributing to the crisis, which he described as a decades-old problem fuelled by wars and poverty in departure countries. This I certainly will agree with: In a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian reflecting on how the EU had been changed by the war and where the bloc fits in this new world order, he said European countries had been forced to wake from a siesta on defence spending, in which they had lived under the American nuclear umbrella. And this: At a subsequent lecture at the New York University Law School, he said the UN security council had been proved “completely useless in recent years due to its divisions” and called for an overhaul of political and financial institutions to revive a multilateralism that “is outdated and running out of steam”.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/10/sport/brittney-griner-dallas-airport-harassment/index.html Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who was freed from Russia late last year after being wrongfully detained, was harassed Saturday by a man described as a social media “provocateur” at a Dallas airport. A source familiar with the incident told CNN that around 9:30 am CT, Griner was at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport traveling with Phoenix Mercury teammates on their way to a game. Griner was confronted by the man who was yelling at her about “the Merchant of Death.” The confrontation got so heated that the man was tackled, and law enforcement was involved, according to the source. CNN has reached out to local law enforcement and the DFW airport about the incident. “The health and well-being of our players and staff are our top priority and we will always take every step within our power to protect player safety,” the statement said. “No one, regardless of identity, should ever fear for their safety. We will be coordinating with the WNBA on next steps,” it continued. Griner’s teammate, Brianna Turner, posted to Twitter on Saturday, saying, “Player safety while traveling should be at the forefront. People following with cameras saying wild remarks is never acceptable. Excessive harassment. Our team nervously huddled in a corner unsure how to move about. We demand better.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I would recognise Bob, but any other member of the WNBA? I thought they would be delighted somebody recognised them.

I had not really thought about this other than being told when checking out at a Supermarket now is the time to enter your Coupons, what Coupons? I would assume they were overcharging up front to pay for the rebate so look for something else.
