  1. There it seems something they do not like, usually they just send it back. How many times have you met and for how long?
  2. I did come across the Tampon Tim bit, we never had Tampons in the Toilets when I was at school. So KK and TT!
  3. Vacated rule modernizing the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program On June 22, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, in Behring Regional Center LLC v. Wolf, 20-cv-09263-JSC, vacated the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization Final Rule (PDF). While USCIS considers this decision, we will apply the EB-5 regulations that were in effect before the rule was finalized on Nov. 21, 2019. Under the vacated rule published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, several changes to the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program that went into effect Nov. 21, 2019 are no longer in effect. The new rule modernizes the EB-5 program by: Providing priority date retention to certain EB-5 investors; Increasing the required minimum investment amounts to account for inflation; Reforming certain targeted employment area (TEA) designations; Clarifying USCIS procedures for the removal of conditions on permanent residence; and Making other technical and conforming revisions. What You Need to Know: Priority date retention Certain immigrant investors will keep the priority date of a previously approved EB-5 petition when they file a new petition. Increased minimum investments The standard minimum investment amount has increased to $1.8 million (from $1 million) to account for inflation. The minimum investment in a TEA has increased to $900,000 (from $500,000) to account for inflation. Future adjustments will also be tied to inflation (per the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, or CPI-U) and occur every 5 years. Targeted employment area (TEA) designations We will now directly review and determine the designation of high-unemployment TEAs; we will no longer defer to TEA designations made by state and local governments. Specially designated high-unemployment TEAs will now consist of a combination of census tracts that include the tract or contiguous tracts in which the new commercial enterprise is principally doing business, including any or all directly adjacent tracts. Provided they have experienced an average unemployment rate of at least 150% of the national average unemployment rate, TEAs may now include cities and towns with a population of 20,000 or more outside of metropolitan statistical areas. These changes will help direct investment to areas most in need and increase the consistency of how high-unemployment areas are defined in the program. Clarified procedures for the removal of conditions on permanent residence The new rule specifies when derivative family members (for example, a spouse and children whose immigration status comes from the status of a primary benefit petitioner) who are lawful permanent residents must independently file to remove conditions on their permanent residence; The new rule includes flexibility in interview locations; and The new rule updates the regulations to reflect the current process for issuing Green Cards.
  4. My Granny used a swagger stick from the Boer War very effectively
  5. Well lets say it takes 2 years so you may be one year short on 3 years of taxes over the required amount. Now that is being conservative. Plus of course the tax years will probably not match your working year so show a lower amount. I was also concerned that your anticipated income was VERY close to the minimum, and do realise that Consulates do not have to accept that you meet the minimum, they can look at the totality. Plus of course than amount is not practical to actually live on. I would not be concerned about domicile, seems to me a well qualified joint sponsor would speed up the process and avoid the actual issue you have. Plus of course the Sponsorship amount goes up every year.
  6. Democrats, hell no. Benjamin Franklin Stapleton (November 12, 1869 – May 23, 1950) was the mayor of Denver, Colorado, for two periods (comprising five terms), the first from 1923 to 1931 and the second from 1935 to 1947. He also served as the Democratic Colorado State Auditor from 1933 to 1935 and was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
  7. It is an odd term For example a stone can be used as a weapon and if you use it as such it is an assault.
  8. I have not seen a Kam bumper sticker, well I saw one of these yesterday that could be the same thing.
  9. If you have been approved for EB2 you would be LPRs I have not come across a Teacher using NIW. Your Green Cards have been approved, so you are waiting for their issuance? I have not come across a teacher subject to 2yr HRR Why are you subject to HRR? You mention AOS so you do not have a GC? Obviously these things do not add up, your Lawyer should be able to give you guidance.
  10. Chicago shootings: At least 31 shot in weekend gun violence across city, police say https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-shootings-this-weekend-gun-violence-police/15173159/
  11. When the Dems did have debates I watched them and was hoping Tulsi would come through. Here she is destroying Kam
  12. I doubt it What will he be studying,this is a legitimate course at a known University?
  13. I would go with a company transfer,, L Visa, much the quickest and easiest.
  14. US Attorney-at-law, Bryan Reo, provides a fascinating breakdown and detailed analysis on the veiled threats by UK Government to extradite Elon Musk for prosecution for his remarks on X. So in my life time there has always been a limit to Free Speech, the classic example I remember was crying Fire in a crowded theater. However there has always been the ability to go further and it is now been weaponised for political reasons.
  15. And then we are into comparisons and the alternative when he stood was Hillary so whatever you think of him well... And then when an opportunity arises and they could have gone with someone at least half reasonable Dems go with Kam. #######
  16.
