  2. I guess it is what it is, not an uncommon scenario.
  3. They understand that newly weds will not have that sort of evidence when they live on different continents. Your best evidence is the visits made and time spent together, hopefully you have kept receipts, photos etc. In the meantime study the guides so you are familiar with the process.
  4. https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/15/us/san-francisco-black-reparations-california/index.html A one-time payment of $5 million to each eligible Black resident is among recommendations unanimously accepted by San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors as part of a draft plan by a panel proposing reparations. The move Tuesday was an intermediate step, with a final report that includes board feedback due in June, the San Francisco African American Reparations Advisory Committee said, and the board set to meet again on the issue in September. People applaud chair Kamilah Moore during a reparations task force meeting at Third Baptist Church in San Francisco, Wednesday, April 13, 2022. California's first-in-the-nation reparations task force met for the first time since its inaugural meeting nearly a year ago. The live meeting also comes mere weeks after the group voted to limit restitution to descendants of enslaved or free Black people in the U.S. before the 20th century. San Francisco reparations committee proposes a $5 million payment to each Black resident “Now, the real work continues,” Supervisor Shamann Walton said. “As I’ve said before, we have to stay focused and stay together as a community because now it is 100% more prevalent that we cannot be separated or divided. “Let’s not lose focus because when we receive the final report, we have to actually resource the path forward.”
  5. Nothing to do before you are married other than read the guides to see what is needed to adjust. AP takes time and nothing is ASAP
  6. Consulates vary as to whether they let in the USC, and there are divergent views as to whether it is a good idea for the USC to be present anyway. They were interviewing her not you. Your case has some interesting back story and I can see why she was asked those questions, there certainly could have been inadmissibilities. As others have said she passed that stage so water under the bridge.
  7. My recollection is that this is covered in the instructions
  8. Marriage adjustment, you do not need a reason.
  9. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-03-14/horror-the-deadly-use-of-drugs-on-metro-trains Drug use is rampant in the Metro system. Since January, 22 people have died on Metro buses and trains, mostly from suspected overdoses — more people than all of 2022. Serious crimes soared 24% last year compared with the previous. “Horror.” That’s how one train operator recently described the scenes he sees daily. He declined to use his name because he was not authorized to talk to the media. Earlier that day, as he drove the Red Line subway, he saw a man masturbating in his seat and several of what he calls sleepers, people who get high and nod off on the train. “We don’t even see any businesspeople anymore. We don’t see anybody going to Universal. It’s just people who have no other choice [than] to ride the system, homeless people and drug users.”
  10. I would look to see what your options are to study in your home country.
  11. Why the US northern border is experiencing record migration https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/13/us/roxham-canada-border-migrant-increase/index.html On a snowy March afternoon, a small convoy of taxis and hired cars rolled north along a New York country road that dead-ends at the Canadian border. Among those onboard: a Nigerian family of five, a Russian man traveling alone and a tearful South American woman named Giovanna. “I have so many mixed emotions about this moment because I had to leave my family behind,” a shivering Giovanna told CNN in Spanish as she emerged from her taxi in front of the unofficial “Roxham Road” border crossing made infamous by quirk of diplomacy and street-planning that allows someone to drive to the border and walk into Canada unlawfully, rather than be turned away. The Colombian mother is among the seemingly endless flow of migrants that since 2017 have been drawn to this frigid northernmost stretch of the US intent on crossing the international boundary in search of better asylum chances. Migrants are also crossing into the US Migrants, mostly from Mexico, are also using the area to travel south, into the US. Mexican consular officials say people will often fly from Mexico to Canada and then make the perilous hike south to seek asylum in the US. It’s often a way to avoid the already busy southern border that remains restricted by the pandemic era Title 42 public health authority. In just the last five months, agents have apprehended more people crossing into the US from Canada than the last three fiscal years combined, said Chief Patrol Agent Robert Garcia, who leads the Border Patrol sector responsible for parts of northern New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.
  12. Here’s how many times you need to reuse your reusable grocery bags https://krdo.com/news/national-world/cnn-world/2023/03/13/heres-how-many-times-you-need-to-reuse-your-reusable-grocery-bags-2/ The cotton tote has become a cheap status symbol for anyone — brands and individuals — wanting to eschew plastic and show off their green credentials. But cotton is a resource-intensive crop that requires lots of water and uses a substantial amount of pesticides and fertilizers, which introduce nitrates to land and waterways and results in the creation of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas. This means its environmental footprint is bigger than many people appreciate. According to the UNEP report, a cotton bag needs to be used 50 to 150 times to have less impact on the climate compared with one single-use plastic bag. A 2018 Danish Environmental Protection Agency report suggested that a cotton bag should be used at least 7,100 times to offset its environment impact when compared to a classic supermarket plastic bag that’s reused once as a trash bag and then incinerated. (If that cotton is organic, the figure is an eye-popping 20,000 times, with the report assuming a lower yield but the same input of raw materials.)
  13. Have you considered meeting first?
  14. Ukrainians are small in number and also have EU as an opportunity 4 countries have been added many more could be.
  15. Haiti is small beer, for example I read that there had been citizens of 120 countries interdicted on the southern border.
