  1. Why did you not apply for a student visa to study English in the first place? Did you study your Masters degree at all?
  2. Somewhat odd to consider the issue now. Quite how F2a will move is anyone’s guess no longer current

  4. Then when they arrive and they have the I 551 stamp in their passport, nobody can forecast the future all you can do is put yourself in the best situation.
  5. They need to file for him now, today, no reason to delay.

  7. I am going to assume with that history it took quite some time to get his GC Why does it matter?
  8. The best place to start is by reading the I 134, available on line and then asking for clarification on any points.
  9. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/california-reparations-discrimination-housing-policing-b2310139.html Black residents of California could be owed $800bn in reparations for generations of over-policing, disproportionate incarceration and housing discrimination, economists have told a state panel considering compensation payments. The preliminary estimate is more than 2.5 times larger than the state’s $300bn annual budget. The recommended figure does not include an additional $1 million suggested per older Black resident for health disparities they may have suffered resulting in the shortening of their average life span. Nor does the total take into account the prospect of compensating people for property unjustly ceased by the government or Black businesses otherwise devailed, two further harms the Reparations Task Force assigned to look at the problem concluded the state had perpetuated. In their report, the consultants advised the state task force to “err on the side of generosity” and consider a down-payment with more money to come as more evidence becomes available. “It should be communicated to the public that the substantial initial down-payment is the beginning of a conversation about historical injustices, not the end of it,” they said. I have not been able to find any discussion of reparations to other marginalized groups..
  10. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11641737/San-Frans-reparations-committee-proposes-5-million-black-longtime-resident.html San Francisco's reparations committee will propose paying $5million to each longtime black resident of the city in a reparations plan this spring. To qualify, people need to have identified as black on public records for at least 10 years and be at least 18 years old. They also must qualify for two of a number of requirements, including having been born in the city or migrated to it between 1940 and 1996 and then lived there for 13 years. It is unclear exactly how many people would qualify should the proposal pass, but if just 10,000 people qualified it would cost at least $50billion. The proposal will be submitted to Mayor London Breed and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and the San Francisco Human Rights Commission in June. Board President Aaron Peskin told the San Francisco Chronicle he hopes the proposal will pass. The proposal also offers a number of other requirements to be handed out to qualifiers, including the creation of a 'comprehensive debt forgiveness program' which would eliminate credit card and other debts, along with student and housing loans. The proposal also says qualifying low-income households should have their income supplemented to match the city's median income - $97,000 in 2022 - for the next 250 years. 'Racial disparities across all metrics have led to a significant racial wealth gap in the City of San Francisco,' the draft states. 'By elevating income to match AMI, Black people can better afford housing and achieve a better quality of life.' A number of other proposals include investment in San Francisco's black community, financial education, legal protections of people's reparations, tax credits, and black-owned banks being brought in to manage people's money. The proposal also says San Francisco 'issue a formal apology for past harms, and commit to making substantial ongoing, systemic and programmatic investments in Black communities to address historical harms.'
  11. WashingtonCNN — Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked at the couple’s home in San Francisco early Friday morning, the Democratic speaker’s office said in a statement. He is expected to make a full recovery. Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi, said the assailant is in custody and a motive is being investigated. The speaker was in Washington at the time of the attack, a spokesperson said. This story is breaking and will be updated. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/28/politics/paul-pelosi-attack/index.html Not sure it is supposed to work like this.
  12. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/25/us-basketball-star-brittney-griners-appeal-rejected-by-russian-court The decision also indicates that the Biden administration has had little success in negotiating for her freedom through back channels, as lawyers for other detained Americans have suggested the two sides may be close to a deal involving a swap of jailed Russians and Americans. Griner’s lawyers, Maria Blagovolina and Alexander Boykov, said they were “very disappointed” in Tuesday’s ruling. “Brittney’s biggest fear is that she is not exchanged and will have to serve the whole sentence in Russia,” they said. “She had hopes for today as each month, each day away from her family and friends matters to her.” After the ruling, a senior US official called the court hearing a “sham judicial proceeding” and called on Russia to release Griner.

  14. Surprisingly covered by the LA Times, what were they thinking of, but behind a pay wall: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-09-02/black-lives-matter-leader-accused-of-stealing-10-million-from-organization https://www.dailypress.com/news/vp-nw-blm-leader-accused-funds-theft-20220902-vr57r34xvfdn3op257sxa62fla-story.html LOS ANGELES — The leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has been accused by former colleagues of stealing more than $10 million in donations from the organization for his own personal use, according to a lawsuit filed in court this week. Shalomyah Bowers was called out in the court filing as a “rogue administrator, a middle man turned usurper” who syphoned contributions to the nonprofit activist group to use as his own “personal piggy bank,” according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday. “His actions have lead (sic) (Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation) into multiple investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and various state attorney generals, blazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM in less than eighteen months,” the suit claims. “While BLM leaders and movement workers were on the street risking their lives, Mr. Bowers remained in his cushy offices devising a scheme of fraud and misrepresentation to break the implied-in-fact contract between donors and BLM.” Grifters got to grift.
  15. Here are 128k emails from the Biden Laptop, which is a modern Rosetta Stone of white and blue collar crime under the patina of “the Delaware Way.” Prior to the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, a number of ancient languages were mere gibberish and hash marks. Similarly, the emails on the Biden Laptop illuminated previously convoluted webs of the people you see leading the charge for global governance; truly, the emails can be considered a translation tool for Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering. https://bidenlaptopemails.com/
  16. https://swimswam.com/penns-lia-thomas-breaks-200-500-free-records-in-meet-with-princeton-cornell/ Penn’s Lia Thomas blasted the number one 200 free time and the second-fastest 500 free time in the nation on Saturday, breaking Penn program records in both events. She swept the 100-200-500 free individual events and contributed to the first-place 400 free relay in a tri-meet against Princeton and Cornell in her home pool. Penn split for the day, beating Cornell 219 to 81 but losing to Princeton, 106 to 194. For some reason these achievements are not getting proper recognition by the MSM, we are likely to see new records in Ladies swimming.
