  1. My question is; how did you get a signed letter of intent to marry from your fiancee in the Philippines and send it in within 48 hours? Did you have the letter and forgot to submit it? You know is has to be an original signature, right?

    Edit: I just read yout timeline comments and you mention your fiancee FAXED you a letter of intent. I don't believe they will accept that. It used to be that the letters had to have an original signature. Most of us had to have our fiancees mail the signed letter to us.

  2. Maybe this will get some useful conversation started. I've alway wanted to know what socioeconomic status you people have.

    Read the article and just answer (you'll get the idea).

    1. Small (Training to 34B)

    2. Medium (34C to 36D)

    3. Large (38D to Infinity)

    Here's another that reveals why I even thought this was funny :)

  3. The form asks for (mm/dd/yyyy) which would be 11/18/2014. Not sure if they will accept the forms.

    Age gap will not be a problem nor slow down the approval process in the Philippines. Assuming you're old enough to marry. But you may need parental approval if you're under a certain age.

  4. hi,

    i recently quit my job (h1b to green card through marriage). I will not work this upcoming year so to pay for the health insurance is too much for me. I called healthcare and they told me that i may be eligible for medicaid.

    thanks.

    I love this part. Had a job, QUIT, does not WANT to work for a year (vacation I assume), now wants US taxpayers to foot the bill for him to have insurance.

    Damn, don't you just love America!

  5. Step-by-Step Guide on Removing of Conditions (Form I-751)

    When To File:

    (Paragraph 3)

    If you fail to properly file the Form I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence) within the 90-day period before your second anniversary as a conditional resident, your conditional resident status will automatically be terminated and the USCIS will order removal proceedings against you. You will receive a notice from the USCIS telling you that you have failed to remove the conditions, and you will also receive a Notice to Appear at a hearing. At the hearing you may review and rebut the evidence against you. You are responsible for proving that you complied with the requirements (the USCIS is not responsible for proving that you did not comply with the requirements).

    According to the form instructions, you may send a written explaination of why you failed to file on time. But it is pretty strict on the acceptable reasons. See the form instructions here:

    http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-751instr.pdf

    Edit:

    This post should be moved to the "Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion" forum, me thinks.

  6. i don't believe you will have enough time. You will arrive at the Int'l terminal, go through immigration, then pick up bags, then drop off bags for the domestic flight, then shuttle to the domestic terminal. then go to your gate. If your NRT to ATL is late, then you've got a problem.

    There is usually a flight that leaves ATL for PHL a little after 6pm. I would do that one. See this link for some useful info.

  8. Political Values

    Radicalism 36.25
    Socialism 6.25
    Tenderness 68.75

    These scores indicate that you are a tender-minded moderate conservative; this is the political profile one might associate with a sincere clergyman. It appears that you are trusting of religion, and have a compassionately humanistic attitude towards humanity in general.

    Your attitudes towards economics appear laissez-faire capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as right-wing.

    To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an egalitarian with many strong opinions.

    I'm not near as socialistic as libertarians are........rolleyes.gif

  9. DRIFTING, DRIFTING....

    Wife and I shop very often at BB&B. Much cheaper than Amazon...up to 25% with their discount coupons

    Brick-and-mortar retail stores are becoming cheaper than Amazon!

    At least one store, that is. Prices at Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) were on average 6.5% less than at Amazon for a basket of 30 items chosen by analysts at BB&T (BBT) for one of their periodic pricing studies comparing the retailers.

  10. The trickle down effect, from Kentuck to Tennesee..... I wonder what the judge would have ruled if it had been a white kid? Or better yet, if a white couple wanted to name their child Muhammad (Mohammed) ??

    Tennessee judge rules infant's name must be changed from 'Messiah'

    NEWPORT, Tenn. – A judge in Tennessee changed a 7-month-old boy's name to Martin from Messiah, saying the religious name was earned by one person and "that one person is Jesus Christ."

    Child Support Magistrate Lu Ann Ballew ordered the name change last week, according to WBIR-TVexternal-link.png . The boy's parents were in court because they could not agree on the child's last name, but when the judge heard the boy's first name, she ordered it changed, too.

    "It could put him at odds with a lot of people and at this point he has had no choice in what his name is," Ballew said.

    It was the first time she ordered a first name change, the judge said.

    Messiah was No. 4 among the fastest-rising baby names in 2012, according to the Social Security Administration's annual list of popular baby names.

    The judge in eastern Tennessee said the baby was to be named Martin DeShawn McCullough, which includes both parents' last name.

    The boy's mother, Jaleesa Martin, of Newport, said she will appeal. She says Messiah is unique and she liked how it sounded alongside the boy's two siblings -- Micah and Mason.

    "Everybody believes what they want so I think I should be able to name my child what I want to name him, not someone else," Martin said.

    Ballew said the name Messiah could cause problems if the child grows up in Cocke County, which has a large Christian population.

    "The word Messiah is a title and it's a title that has only been earned by one person and that one person is Jesus Christ," the judge said.

    SHOOT3-articleInline.jpg

    Shaaliver Douse was killed.

    Yana Paskova for The New York Times

    Just after 3 a.m. on Sunday, the pop of gunshots cut through the air. Two rookie police officers — barely a month out of the Police Academy, and now on foot patrol in the Bronx — hurried toward the sound.

    They headed east on East 151st Street to find a chase unfolding, one person running down the middle of the street, another following with a handgun. The officers ordered the second figure to drop his gun. Instead, another shot rang out.

    One of the officers fired a single shot. The bullet struck the gunman in his lower left jaw, killing him.

    The suspect, Shaaliver Douse, was believed to be part of a youth gang on East 169th Street called the Nine. He lived at a nearby housing project, and court records showed he had been caught with a gun at least once before; his last brush with the law involved his arrest on a charge of attempted murder, after a rival gang member was shot in May. All this, the police said, at age 14.

    The shooting of Shaaliver appeared to fall within the guidelines for using deadly force, police officials said. Nonetheless, the shooting seemed to frame the uneasy confluence of issues that the Police Department constantly grapples with in high-crime neighborhoods like Shaaliver’s: the youth gangs that still run roughshod over parts of the Bronx; the prevalence of illegal guns on the streets; and the waves of rookie officers sent in to patrol those streets each year.

    It also served to stir resentment of the police among some in Shaaliver’s neighborhood, including the boy’s aunt, Quwana Barcene, 35, who compared her nephew to Trayvon Martin in Florida.

    “Him, Trayvon Martin, it’s never going to end,” she said. “A child. Fourteen years old. Fourteen years old. Gone. Shot in the head. By police.”

    At a news conference Sunday, Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly acknowledged that Shaaliver had been the youngest person he could recall being shot by the New York police. He offered condolences to the teenager’s mother for the death of “her son of just 14 years of age,” he said.

    “Regardless of the circumstances,” he said, “this is a crushing blow to any parent.”

    But the circumstances justified the shooting, he said, showing a pair of videos. In the first, a figure who Mr. Kelly said was Shaaliver can be seen approaching a group of several men, including one who Mr. Kelly said was Shaaliver’s target.

    Shaaliver can be seen raising a weapon and firing three shots, Mr. Kelly said; the group then scatters. A second video, taken around the corner, showed the next moment: the target running fast around the corner in the middle of the street, a bullet flying past him and slamming into a wall on the far side in a puff of smoke. Mr. Kelly said that after the teenager was ordered to drop his gun, he fired again, though it was unclear whether he was aiming for the fleeing man or the officers.

    “I think they did what we would expect officers of any experience level to do,” Mr. Kelly said, noting that officers were trained to “shoot to stop,” not simply to wound. He said the shooting officer, who is white, is 26; his partner, who is black, is 27. Shaaliver was black.

    The officers had been assigned to the Bronx as part of the Police Department’s Operation Impact, which matches rookie officers with more seasoned ones to patrol areas with especially high crime rates. City officials have credited the program with helping to reduce crime. But it has long drawn suspicion from civil liberties groups, who say flooding crime-ridden areas with officers has also swelled the number of unwarranted police stops, breeding suspicion and antagonism in some communities.

    At Shaaliver’s housing project, the Gouverneur Morris II Houses, his friends gathered to support his parents. “This is unreal, how the police get away with murder,” his aunt, Ms. Barcene, said. “They get away with murder.”

    A gun had been confiscated from the teenager in the past year: He was arrested on a charge of criminal possession of a weapon in October. He pleaded not guilty and had another court date scheduled for later this month, according to Bronx court records. He had also been charged with attempted murder in May, when a 15-year-old member of the Lyman Place crew was shot in the shoulder. Those charges were dropped after the victim and a witness stopped cooperating, a city official said on Sunday.

    Investigators are now looking into the possibility that Shaaliver had been chasing another member of a rival gang on Sunday, the official said.

    He was to start his sophomore year at Alfred E. Smith Career and Technical High School in the South Bronx in the fall, his aunt said. An only child, he had been raised mainly by his mother, though he saw his father often. And lately, his mother said, he was less wayward. She had told a neighbor, Cynthia Blount, 49, that she was thinking of moving them away from the neighborhood’s negative influences.

    "She said he started becoming good,” Ms. Blount said. “I don’t know what happened. And now this happened.”

  12. Three Questions:

    1. Should Gay people have the right to have sexual contact with underage partners, even if it's consensual?

    2. Is this woman being discriminated against, as the parents allege?

    3. Would the "Gay rights advocates" rally around an18-yo boy having sexual contact with a 14-yo girl?

    MIAMI – Gay rights advocates are rallying around an 18-year-old central Florida girl who was expelled from school and charged with having sexual contact with her 14-year-old girlfriend.

    Kaitlyn Hunt was charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery on a child 12 to 16 in February. Prosecutors have offered a plea deal that includes two years of house arrest and a year of probation.

    The Hunts say that the relationship was consensual and that their daughter is being discriminated against because she's gay.

    But State Attorney Bruce Colton says the arrest has nothing to do with Kaitlyn's sexual preference. He says the law is designed to protect younger children from people who are older and can be more aggressive in forming a relationship.

  13. There should be a law against any quotes from any "bibles". I can find one to justify murder...so you can see the utter hypocrisy.

    So you would be OK with outlawing anyone, politician or not, from quoting the Bible?

    The need to get rid of the money in the game...it is the root of all evil; well besides my ex-wife that is...lol

    If you're going to take a partial quote from the Bible, you should state it correctly. Or probably you should be outlawed from quoting the Bible here on VJ. 1 TIM 6:10 "For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil:"

  14. Focus on the message rather than if it was in caps or not as it makes no difference. Again, I am scared for your future spouses if you make a big deal over the use of capital letters. I suspect some type of abuse will happen in the future by your short temper on silly matters.

    You're correct! I don't allow my spouse to use capital letters dangit! And she better never go off and use them without my permission! I Dare Her!!!

    Besides, I'm sure Obama is going to propose a Capital Letter tax very soon. He did so with Capital Gains!

    Also, any democrat knows that Al Gore, soon after he created internet, passed a law making it a no-no to use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS when typing over the internet. It uses way to much energy!

  15. ----"Went for my routine checkup today and everything seemed to be going fine until he stuck his index finger up my butt! Do you think I should change dentists?"

    Are you sure it was his finger? In any case, whatever he used, just ensure he doesn't stick it in your mouth until he washes....

  16. To quote a comment on Yahoo; "The night before the debate - Hilary falls on her sword. Can't imagine what the Obama team paid for that."

    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told CNN in an interview Monday that she—not the White House—takes responsibility for the security situation in Benghazi, Libya, ahead of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack there that claimed the lives of four Americans, including the ambassador.

    Article Here!

  17. "The 400-strong assault force in Benghazi showed up with RPGs and mortars: that's not a spontaneous movie protest; that's an act of war, and better planned and executed than the dying superpower's response to it." ...MARK STEYN

    Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Sunday that last week’s deadly attack on a U.S. consulate in Libya was a spontaneous reaction to an Internet video offensive to Muslims and not a premeditated response to U.S. foreign policy in the Arab world.

    The militias are heavily armed and there are partisan groups both pro-and anti-American out there. This was a coordinated attack, no doubt. The pretext of a movie riot was used to provide cover for the criminal act.

    Her comments (Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations) contradict Libyan President Mohamed Yousef El-Magariaf, who said Sunday he believed the attack was premeditated.

    Thank God (I know some of you don't like those words, just appease me OK) the duly appointed obamanite knows more than the President of the country where these actions occurred.

    Just sayin, you know!
