  1. I thought they had met, gone on holidays together.
  2. That was my guess and I know there are similar ones but for the life of me can not remember them. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush?
  3. I do not know the proverb but it sounds apropo.
  4. The simple answer would be to decide which opportunity is the more important to you and go with that. You seem to know the issues otherwise.
  5. I have seen plenty of out for 9 ish year cases. But you are asking us to speculate what will happen in the future.
  6. It is pretty easy to say what should be OK and not. Much less saying what will happen if you want to go as close to the line as you can.
  7. Utah tends to be used by people who may have issues marrying in a normal fashion for whatever reason. Some Lawyers do not like Utah for immigration purposes, I am not going that far.
  8. Usually this is a bit of a long shot, single females do not have a good record of returning. no harm trying as long as she is honest. And remember the Consulate have heard it all, she is not their first.
  9. They do not fall into any of the categories. FAMILY-SPONSORED PREFERENCES First: (F1) Unmarried Sons and Daughters of U.S. Citizens: 23,400 plus any numbers not required for fourth preference. Second: Spouses and Children, and Unmarried Sons and Daughters of Permanent Residents: 114,200, plus the number (if any) by which the worldwide family preference level exceeds 226,000, plus any unused first preference numbers: A. (F2A) Spouses and Children of Permanent Residents: 77% of the overall second preference limitation, of which 75% are exempt from the per-country limit; B. (F2B) Unmarried Sons and Daughters (21 years of age or older) of Permanent Residents: 23% of the overall second preference limitation. Third: (F3) Married Sons and Daughters of U.S. Citizens: 23,400, plus any numbers not required by first and second preferences. Fourth: (F4) Brothers and Sisters of Adult U.S. Citizens: 65,000, plus any numbers not required by first three preferences.
  10. You can only sponsor your Brother. Many moons in the future when the Priority Date is current derivatives can be included, spouse and minor children. Children can age out, Spouses can be divorced so not an issue now.
  11. Turkey is backed up due to the other Countries it handles and with Iran you can expect a longer AP.
  12. Well it will not help. But being realistic what are the chances he would be involved in another immigration situation.
  13. It is not a grey are, what matters is where you are. US residents have to file taxes on their world wide income.
  14. Mob storms Dagestan airport in search of Jewish passengers from Israel Airport in Russia’s Muslim southern region closed after hundreds storm tarmac and climb on to planes https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/29/mob-storms-dagestan-airport-in-search-of-jewish-passengers-from-israel Local religious authorities have suggested that they may need to evacuate an estimated 800 Jewish families from across Dagestan, many of them in the southern city of Derbent. “The situation is very difficult in Dagestan. People from the community are afraid, they call, and I do not know what to advise,” Ovadya Isakov, a government representative of the local Jewish community, told the Podyom news outlet. “Is it worth leaving? Because Russia is not our salvation. There were pogroms in Russia too. It is unclear where to run.” I thought they were against forced movement?
  15. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-announces-family-reunification-parole-process-for-ecuador Certain nationals of Ecuador who are beneficiaries of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative may be eligible to be considered for parole under the new process. Qualifying beneficiaries must be outside the United States, meet all requirements, including screening and vetting and medical requirements, and must not have already received an immigrant visa.
  16. I just noticed and I have to work! Just wondered what other people indigenous persons are doing to celebrate.
  17. 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”.
  18. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/12/politics/susanna-gibson-virginia-sex-acts/index.html I really do not care about her side gig. But you livestream on the Internet, and then claim invasion of privacy. How does that make any sense?
  19. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12311475/Harry-Meghan-asked-fly-Air-Force-One-Biden-Queens-funeral-denied-Jill-didnt-attend-Invictus-Games-avoid-upsetting-Royals-Sussexes-attempts-political-players-America-faltering.html
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
