It's good that you're thinking ahead. Use the upcoming months of waiting to become an "A" student of the entire immigration process, and you'll be able to hit the ground running.

Hillary Clinton Condemns Trump For Paying Hush Money To Political Liabilities Instead Of Just Killing Them NEW YORK, NY — Former U.S. Senator and email expert Hilary Clinton issued a statement this week condemning Donald Trump for allegedly paying hush money to political liabilities instead of just killing them. "How dumb do you have to be?" Clinton told reporters. "There's an easy, tried-and-true method for dealing with people who make your life hard; just call my friend Guido and he takes care of it for you. Or, if you're feeling up for an adventure, DIY!"

~~~~~~~~~~ Flight Attendant On A Boeing Gives Presentation On What To Do In The Unlikely Event Of A Safe Landing DENVER, CO — On American Airlines Flight 9947 from Denver to Atlanta, flight attendant Kimberly Glover gave an updated presentation on what passengers were to do in the unlikely event of a safe landing of their Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. "In the unlikely event that our plane makes it to Atlanta in one piece, here is what we will do," Kimberly began. "The wheels will touch down on a runway and the pilot will taxi the aircraft to a terminal. Once the aircraft comes to a complete stop, the seatbelt light will turn off and then we can each unbuckle our seatbelt, stand up to grab our bags from the overhead compartment, and orderly disembark by rows starting at the front of your Boeing 737 MAX aircraft."

I think that this would be a great idea. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If Donald Trump Holds a Debate, the Other Candidates Will Come Recently, Donald Trump challenged Joe Biden to additional presidential debates. He wrote to the Commission on Presidential Debates, urging the organization to move up the timeline for the planned debates and to increase the number of faceoffs the two candidates have before Election Day. If I were Donald Trump, I wouldn't be optimistic about getting Joe Biden into the debate "ring." Biden's own Department of Justice just admitted Biden is "an elderly man with a poor memory," and for this reason, I just don't see him participating in any debates this time around, and if he does, it will be heavily controlled, and a once and done event. If he doesn't participate at all, Biden will probably rationalize it by claiming that the spurious indictments of Trump from the Biden Justice Department, or various Democrat hacks in the states, make it "inappropriate" for him to debate Trump. Of course, if Donald Trump really wants a presidential debate, he can still have one (or more). Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has already made several states' ballots. So has Cornel West. Both men are leftists, and both would jump at the chance to gain the attention of the nation in a debate with Trump.

O'Keefe Media Group Exposes Who Is Really Running the White House Joe Biden doesn't even know where he is most of the time. He gets lost on stage and can't remember when or how his son died. He mixes up world leaders, and claims to have spoken with dead people. Is he really the guy running the country? Well, O'Keefe Media Group (OMG) went undercover and discovered the White House's real power structure. What they found probably confirms what you long suspected. According to Tyler Robinson, special advisor to the chief of staff of SBA administrator Isabel Guzman, [...] https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/04/18/okeefe-media-group-exposes-who-is-really-running-the-white-house-n4928287

Anything to disagree with in here? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NPR Scandal Should Kill Taxpayer-Funded Broadcasting [...] There are really two problems here, not one, and they go well beyond one journalist's resignation. The first is political bias, which is a problem at all "elite" networks and newspapers, where "hard news" is heavily slanted. The second is that some of these outlets, notably NPR, PBS (the Public Broadcasting System) and their local affiliates, receive taxpayer funding.

Your question was answered in your previous thread:

180 days from the medical exam.

There are a lot to remember! See the comparison, as compiled by our fine member Crazy Cat: K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse cannot leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse cannot work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status (I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.
