Someone hasn't met PRG... 🤣
 
2nd anniversary this weekend. Time flies, man.
Didn't go back to the restaurant we had dinner at after our wedding last year because we were worried about Covid and her prenatal class that morning had been canceled.
Looks like they've been closed since December this year (they've got a 'will reopen when we can' pop-up on their web site, and while some restrictions may get lifted this week, I'm not sure that's soon enough to have things open by Sunday).

Man. I joined in 2007, Why am I still here?!?

Don't try to game the system.  The CO is not going to like it when people play games.  
 
The I-864 is judged based on a totality of circumstances.  Aside from the 125% poverty level, the CO is looking at how long and how reliable is that income to support the intending immigrant.
 
Flipping from full time to independent contractor and then back to full time is adding a level of complications and uncertainty to the case.  Just stay a full time employee until the visa is in hand.  As an independent contractor, you might need to show a tax return showing the annual income from that type of work.

KISS.  Keep it simple . . . . 
 
Separation is part of the process.  It you want to minimize it, then you need a Joint Sponsor.  If you can't get a JS, then you got to come back and do what is necessary to get the visa.  
 
From personal experience, it never goes well when I think someone is trying to play games and they want/need something from me. 

Had to get the handyman out this morning. Stepped in cold water in the middle of the night in the bathroom. Seems there is a leak, and the wax ring on the loo needs replacing. Given that, so does the subfloor on inspection. Very wet and spongy, the floor isn't meant to sag under your weight. Where I pulled the lino back, the floor underneath crumbles like old crackers.  He will be back in the morning to yank everything out and replace it.
One thing after another here in Happy Land.

Holy *&$#....has it been 8 years? 
All of your journeys are over. 
Now get out!

Win. Water company have not charged me for the well more than usual gallons of water that spewed from broken pipe.
Dining room painted, new floor going down tomorrow, provided my back allows.
Just watched a FB live from a friend of mine standing on hilltops near Opotoki this morning. There have been some very large earthquakes near the shaky isles this morning. Tsunami sirens going off in the background. Yikes.
Finally old enough for something. On the list for the vaccine, although it is still weeks away here. I wish more of the CDC's answers to questions didn't say "We simply don't know".  I'd like to go home, please.
 
 

Is it just me, or are parts of VJ getting to be just like Facebook?  😁

You're in the queue with about a year's worth of approved petitions waiting on interviews.   All you can do is wait.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

Total outlay = $Many, mostly for parts man.
 
Worst a.m. traffic ever because of virus-vaccination lines plugging major arteries, shoot 'em all man.

Mini-B. reportedly forgot to do his homework and remembered before skool, stressed wee man.
Happily, we had worked a page ahead with him over the weekend, pressure off wee man.
Mini-B. reportedly pleased, great lesson/moral man.
We called him and had the following dialogue, dialogue we and wee man:
  T-B.:  How did you feel when you realized you'd forgotten to do your homework, huh wee man?
  Mini-B.:  Scared, si man.
  T-B.:  How did you feel when you realized that we'd worked ahead, huh wee man?
  Mini-B.:  Good, si man.
  T-B.:  And what's the moral of this story -- the lesson, huh wee man?
  Mini-B.:  Eat cheese, and then eat more cheese, si man.

Yes, I have read his jokes.  All 4 or 5 of them that he keeps using over and over.
 
 
Perhaps that joke book WILL help.

If you have your case number then your file may have already been sent to Montreal. Have you tried to do your DS160 and book an interview?  In Canada the K1 books their own interview. 

Have you read his jokes? 
Occasionally he gives us something giggle worthy. They aren’t all terrible.  Just majority.

Canada has marriage records in each province and legally you must provide this information to the CRA (Canada Revenue Office) within 30 days of being married. So yes you can provide evidence you were never married in Canada at the very least with tax returns and a letter from each vital statistics office in all the provinces and territories stating no marriage record was found. I know that the USA doesn’t do this kind of thing but Canada is a little more complete on their vital statistics. 

Well there is nothing to do unless you want to naturalise.
 
90 days before the 3 year anniversary of becoming a PR you can if you wish file, VJ has a guide. The date is the one on your Green Card.

yep,  and best to you
and good luck
but if you think immigration is a hassle,   get ready for all our taxes and insurances we have to carry/
 it goes from painful to crazy

My understanding from.the sentence is that "within the United States" means while the immigrant is physically present in the US, not that the employer is within the US.
 
"any service or labor performed ... within the United States..."
 

Well I found out what made me sick last week. 
Yesterday, we stop at my cousin's restaurant for take out....
His wife asked, "Hey did you guys get sick from the Chinese New Year dish last week?" 
 
^%#$@#......

So, I use a few brokerages to trade stocks. 
1 of them is JP Morgan Chase (Big name right?) 
Well, they suck. Bunch of amateurs don't even know how to do a simple estate stock transfer. 
I called them for help, and I had to walk the guy through it. 
I told HIM what forms he needs.
Do not recommend...
 
 

It will be huge. I know this because they rang me this morning, wanting to  know if I was aware of my usage. Was there a problem? I have used more than 7 times the amount I usually go through. I told them I thought for sure the meter reading would be right. I ran water at night for 6 days, and then the burst pipe was spewing away for at least four days before the plumber could get here.
 

Happy belayed birthday! 🙂

Hey so I had more highlights put in but now my hair feels kinda dry. Thoughts on masks?  Next time I’ll be getting some purple put in the ends like this. 

Had a great birthday. Worked out this morning. Made a healthy breakfast. Lounged around until it was time to get my hair done. Did that and showed her what I want to do next time.  Then ate all the ####### foods. LOL. Wings, one set with honey bbq, one set with honey mustard, onion rings, carrots and celery, and then cheese cake and some Ferraro rocher.  Hubs got me a funny card and a fit bit versa 3 and chocolate. Only one of his presents arrived in time. We watched Harry Potter. I’m happy. 

they didn’t want me working 60 hours this week. Someone quit half way through a shift for personal reasons. I opened and closed that day and then came in for 6 hours in my day off. Thankfully one of them came in for the 3am floor fixing.  I think I owe them pizza but I bought them chocolate.   I have a good group for the most part. A few outliers but that’s normal.
