  1. Whilst I would have recommended to the OP not to do this, I do not see how it will eventually be a block.
  2. Well all that is too late now, you are ln a horrible position and are likely to get hosed, you have the system against you and need the most badass lawyer you can find.
  3. I would expect the Lawyer will advice to get a simple valid marriage certificate.
  4. I did come across something similar, where the marriage license was used in a different State not Country and resulted in a RFE, I do not know how it ended.
  5. You are sponsoring your wife and her child. Adoption was unnecessary, you can sponsor a step child.

  7. You might understand the shock that Hertz customer Joshua Lee felt when he saw the receipt for his rented Tesla Model 3. After returning the vehicle back to Hertz following a weekend vacation in Los Angeles, Lee noticed he was hit with additional charge of $277.39 on top of his initial reservation price. Why was he charged so much additional money? According to Hertz, that was the cost of refueling the electric Model 3. Unfortunately for Lee, the further he pried the company for information, the more Hertz doubled down, and the more confused he became. When Lee made his reservation—the receipts for which were seen and confirmed by The Drive—he paid for the "Skip the Pump and Save Time" option, which allows customers to bring their rental cars back without refilling the gas tank. So even if he was driving a car that took gasoline, he shouldn't have been charged an additional refueling fee. OK—mistakes happen, and perhaps the person working at the counter accidentally checked the wrong box. However, when Lee submitted a billing question, Hertz doubled down on the refuel charge, despite the Tesla Model 3 not having a fuel tank to refill, and Lee having already paid for the "Skip the Pump" option. You might ask, maybe Hertz was charging Lee for having to top the Model 3's battery upon its return? According to the final receipt, the customer gave the Model 3 back to Hertz with the battery 96% full, the exact same state of charge it was picked up with. And, even if Lee hadn't done that, the maximum fee should've been $35, per Hertz's EV recharging policy: "You can return your EV at any charge level and we’ll recharge it for $35—or just $25 for Gold Plus Rewards Members. Or, return it at the same level as pick-up and pay $0." https://www.thedrive.com/news/hertz-is-charging-tesla-model-3-renter-277-fee-for-gas-wont-back-down
  8. I have never heard of a US County having an office overseas.
  9. Just a quick heads up the tax situation can get messy once you are US Tax Resident.
  10. Well how often does it come up, this may be my first one. Wonder what your Lawyer says, I am thinking a waiver may be required.
  11. The end of 2025 to get a visa seems reasonable, you can expect enhanced AP so that will not be quick. It's free to apply for an expedite but not much without a half valid reason. PS she does not have to stay in Iran.
  12. You can try, they did not seem to like it when I went through the process.
  13. the level of corruption id outstanding Anger builds over sweeping change in the way most Californians will pay for electricity https://uk.news.yahoo.com/anger-builds-over-sweeping-change-182341850.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHY-H875hGI_yEpuBvObKBKNtbSO1Q3bEfyqvJsI0R0lPeXSO2pAsgsQyXMin2QkKOltQSKjs8cjZE-E96i4FzwGzOe7Bw6PU7dLeaZFrQ1PxqAca6IyeiGWRpb2OsPlNQXVBy2zlj6_ArEEMKRUX-DL98XlCGTedDi2Dy0v3b But opponents say the legislation was a financial gift to PG&E, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric, and will cause millions of Californians who live in small homes or apartments that use little electricity to pay more, while residents in large homes that use a lot of electricity will save money. “If you wanted to design a policy that would send the signal that conservation doesn’t count, this would be it,” said Ken Cook, president of the Environmental Working Group. PG&E and SDGE executives did not respond to several phone calls and emails seeking comment. The inspiration for the new law came from a 2021 paper written by professors at UC Berkeley’s Energy Institute at Haas, which is partly funded by utility companies.
  14. Hybrid owners trying to remove plugs to avoid road user charges https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/508403/hybrid-owners-trying-to-remove-plugs-to-avoid-road-user-charges Kathryn Trounson of EV lobby group Better NZ Trust said the fact people like Parker were trying to remove the plugs was an indictment of the way the government brought in the changes. "I think the number the government has put on it feels more like a finger in the wind than anything that's been worked out sensibly, and for 15km of range you can understand the gentleman in his Mitsubishi." Trounson does not dispute the need for change: she said with 100,000 EVs in the country, it was always expected they would have to start paying road user charges. But in the current design she fears it will turn people to petrol, with the change landing soon after scrapping Clean Car Discounts for EVs. "We are trying very hard to clean up our atmosphere... all those things are not going to work if people look at RUCs and no clean car discount and think, well I may as well buy an efficient petrol car. Those cars may be in the fleet for 15 years."
