  1. There is no 10 year mark, and yes you need to include.
  2. up to 2 years, you can stay for a day if you want to. Does not impact your PR application
  3. I am in I want to know what it is
  4. In remarks describing the summary of the report, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby defended Biden’s decision to withdraw and stressed the work the administration did once they took office. “Despite having his options curtailed, President Biden led a deliberate, rigorous and inclusive decision-making process that was responsive to facts on the ground. He focused keenly on the need for proper planning,” Kirby said. He rejected the notion the withdrawal was chaotic. “For all this talk of chaos, I just didn’t see it,” he said. Decisions taken by Trump’s administration “severely constrained” Biden’s options for the withdrawal, the summary reads. It says Biden inherited a situation in which “the Taliban were in the strongest military position that they had been in since 2001, controlling or contesting nearly half of the country.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/06/politics/pentagon-review-us-withdrawal-from-afghanistan/index.html I was driving and had NPR on when this was announced, and it was discussed by 3 presenters who I know are super Progressive, even they were wondering how they could come up with this and such a meager report that did not address all the numerous issues.
  5. Brother is independent once he has his GC and certainly will be of age to look after himself
  6. You will need to make sure Number 2 is fully aware of your past history as they are likely to be asked about it.
  7. There is no 90 day rule, well K1 which obviously is not relevant to this. Similar to B etc adjustment but being here on HP does give her benefits not applicable to visitors. But the package you need to file is the same.
  8. I do recollect such a box, but this is an administrative process, the people processing are not Immigration Lawyers.
  9. Being admitted is definitely better than being paroled. If you are concerned about all this being an issue then bey definition you should have a lawyer working on your case.
  10. Because you qualify to ask for it. There is no check if you should use it.
  11. The check to see if you are eligible to have it issued and if a fee is relevant it has been paid. Everything else is up to you
  12. Big difference fighting an issue inside the US compared to outside.
  13. 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..
  14. 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.'
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. https://vineyardgazette.com/news/2022/09/14/planeload-venezuelan-refugees-arrive-marthas-vineyard-airport The Million Dollar question is why do they not have Refugee services? I doubt anybody forced them to come to the US.
