But have a read. If your father intends to return to the US then he can petition you to join him. Difficult to justify a B to the Consulate when you are eligible for the VWP.

DC considers tossing social work exam over concerns it fails too many people of color https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/dc-considers-tossing-social-work-exam-over-concerns-it-fails-too-many-people-of-color/3435392/ “What the exam is doing is de-diversifying the profession,” said Catholic University professor Michael Massey, who said for years he's observed too many students of color succeed in class but fail the licensure exam. The multiple choice tests, which ask social workers what they'd do in hypothetical scenarios, aren’t made public. But Massey says the exam fails to capture cultural nuances and real world experience and marks some responses as wrong that would be reasonable in practice. As a result, “We have great social workers of color who came to social work schools to serve their communities, and they're not being allowed to do it despite rigorous preparation at school,” he said. Others say it’s not the exam – but systemic educational challenges leading up to it – that are the issue, and defend it as necessary to ensure competence in the field.

Correct It is very easy for someone to stay, work etc, make it less so.

I saw about $15b a month which is sort of similar to what is spent by those in the US travelling abroad. And maybe 2 million people a month entering? Now I am in Colorado but most people I come across are not visiting friends and family, obviously we get a lot of ski business in the winter.

This could be worth a cross post in the Beauty Thread?

Ap is irrelevant now she has her GC

As Iran is behind this, worth a watch

The problem is that many people who visit the US do not know anyone here, I certainly did not and I think most of the people who I knew and have met would not. If you are coming for 2 weeks of sun and sand how would you. I remember bumping into a guy I used to work with in Las Vegas, he was there with some friends, he knew I was here but not where and a total coincidence. And it would never be enforced anyway.

I understand that but presume there is something I do not know why you do not want to get a visa.

That I do not know but unless there is priority processing even if that applies it could easily take longer than that Any particular reason you do not want to get a visa, avoid being landlocked?

You said that your F starts in the summer but your O finishes in January

HRR is a J thing How will you stay in status until your F starts?

There was talk about introducing priority processing not sure if they did as otherwise they could take a year. Consulate is much simpler and you get a visa

USCIS Field Office with jurisdiction over the place where deportation or removal proceedings were held, or with the Field Office Director who exercised or is exercising jurisdiction over your most recent proceedings I think this is your situation, and they have changed, I do not recollect quite so many options. Still does not explain the NVC involvement. Trying to think how they would come into it...

It has been some time since I saw a lot of these, possible things have changed and I have not noticed. Not sure how USCIS is involved when it is a DoS issue, perhaps USCIS passes it to DoS via NVC? Do you have a Lawyer involved?

The military can delay things, but I have not seen it be an issue with the UK and doubt it would apply.

As far as I am aware I 212s are handled by the PoE involved and not by the NBC.

Maybe DCF depends on the April 2024 move reason.

A B is for visiting not immigrating Does she have a B?

Seems like overkill you just need to show you have met in the last 2 years.

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.

I just noticed and I have to work! Just wondered what other people indigenous persons are doing to celebrate.

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.
