  1. Qualifications for an Expedited Interview Appointment Consular sections overseas may be able to expedite your interview date if there is an urgent, unforeseen situation such as a funeral, medical emergency, or school start date. The process to request an expedited nonimmigrant visa interview varies by location. You should refer to the instructions on the website of the Embassy or Consulate Visa Section where you will interview, or on their online appointment scheduling site. You will need to provide proof of the need for an earlier appointment. In all cases: You must first submit the online visa application form (DS-160), pay the application fee, and schedule the first available interview appointment. Only at this point will a consular section consider your request for an expedited appointment. Note: Travel for the purpose of attending weddings and graduation ceremonies, assisting pregnant relatives, participating in an annual business/academic/professional conference, or enjoying last-minute tourism does not qualify for expedited appointments. For such travel, please schedule a regular visa appointment well in advance.
  2. Most properly put together Waivers are approved, PiP is discretionary, well it is currently.
  3. As you are not married no. If you do marry there is the I 130 and I 601a route or PIP if your children join the Military.
  4. Student interviews are usually pretty quick, a few days, if there is a backlog then it tend to be Visitor Visas but emergency appointments are available in certain circumstances.
  5. https://chargehub.com/ I looked at couple of locations that are close to my regular destinations. For example: J1772 27 A, 6.5 kW Cost: Energy 00:00 AM - 4:00 PM 0.202 USD per kWh 4:00 PM - 10:00 PM 0.429 USD per kWh 10:00 PM - 11:59 PM 0.202 USD per kWh Parking 0 USD per hour for first 240 mins Parking 2 USD per hour after 240 mins So yesterday morning I could have used this for the 3 hours I was there, it is about 35 miles away. I would have charged about 20kw and cost me $4. Using the F150 example that would be enough for 44 miles so get me home, a level 2 Charger not a fast charger. I did fill up my Subaru about a mile away, cheaper there than where I am. Looking back at my old F150 it would have cost maybe twice this much in gas for the 20kw equivalent. Superchargers are the same sort of cost it seems where I am as gas, now I would not be interested if I had to use only Superchargers. Seems they are also not good for the battery if you constantly use them. And the ones near ish me are 40c plus per kw. Now I am looking at a big Truck, if you say looked at the Model 3 then your 3 hours charging on a Level 2 would get you 80 ish miles so enough for the round trip and a bit to spare. Most days my car is parked a few feet from a 20amp/120v outlet for at least 12 hours. So worst case 30kw, 66 miles in a F150, 120 miles Model 3. And the normal tariff cost would be $4.50. I probably average about 50 miles a day.
  6. It is for illegals so they do not have to go through the I 601a process, but really an election ploy.
  7. Manila is an easy Consulate and you are not living together. At least one Lawyer suggests leaving name change to Naturalisation.
  8. My just down the road non Tesla 2 minutes away Supercharger I looked up and was 45c a KW, now I can sort of charge for free most of the time at 20 or 30 amps, and worst I end up paying 15c a KW at home. So yes they are scamming you. But with my current usage, says last 3 years I would have had to Supercharge maybe twice? Obvious not all usage is the same. I looked at a F150 as I used to have one and I would get 15mpg. A Lighting I would do 2.2 miles a KW so say 7kw would be the same a gallon, 3.15 per gallon or 1.05 a gallon home charging or mostly for me nothing. I filled up today at 3.50. Should have got 3c discount but the Kroeger system was down.
  9. If you can fill in forms and read instructions a not very difficult process, definitely tedious. Some people also file the K3 on the basis it may speed things up, not convinced that is the case, but either way optional.
  10. OK the way your prior post read I thought it was starting next year. You are right it is at their discretion, on the face of it this is the sort of situation it is usually exercised in. All I can think of is the regular I 130 and try for an expedite?
  11. I know the pluses and minuses but am seriously tempted. You can get a big discount used and new, I would be looking used. 17% EV drop year on year.
  12. Normally that age difference might raise eyebrows but not PI. Ditto multiple marriages. I would still go with the Marriage route.
  13. For an expedite it would have to be something that happened to the USC and even then I do not see the situation warranting an expedite.
  14. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/chicago-politics/chicago-mayor-brandon-johnson-reparations-program-juneteenth-holiday/3466226/ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has announced the formation of a new taskforce aimed at considering reparations for Black Chicagoans. Noting that Juneteenth was just days away, Johnson issued an executive order for the formation of the taskforce, who will be asked to evaluate the idea of reparations over the course of the next year. The mayor called it a pledge to confront the legacy of inequity in both Chicago and the U.S. “On behalf of the city of Chicago, I apologize for the historic wrongs committed on Black people in Chicago,” he said. “Now is the time to deliver good on reparations for people of Chicago, in particular Black people.” According to the press release, the taskforce will conduct a study and examination of “all policies that have harmed Black Chicagoans,” ranging from slavery to policies that included redlining and other discriminatory acts. The executive order did not specify whether such reparations would include cash payments, but Ald. Jason Ervin says there are myriad ways of righting historical wrongs. “People always associate reparations with money, but there are policy changes and other items that can be done to repair the harm that such policies have caused,” he said. The taskforce will have a period of one year to issue its recommendations.
  15. I assume she has been here more than a year so will have a 10 year ban immediately she leaves the US. Parole in Place is the usual option if you join the Military.
  16. I suppose if it was really out there it could warrant further investigation.
  17. I think your main problem is that a B does not allow you to work so you may well have no options.
  18. I see lots of regular Rivians. can not see why they would not have had to stop once for maybe 30 minutes.
