    berber_wife got a reaction from AK_2014 in Reschedule based on our of town plans+Irma?   
    Hubby finally got ahold of an actual person and they told us to go to the nearest office to where we are on Monday. So Minneapolis field office. He said he couldn't say at this point what Florida offices will be closed.

    Ah, the personal responsibility argument. I led a healthy lifestyle, did all the recommended medical screenings and still got breast cancer at 28 which progressed to Stage IV at 30. Why did I get breast cancer? Maybe because my mom and grandmother had/have it. Why did it become Stage IV? Because breast cancer in young women is much more aggressive than in older women. Why did I get it so young? Don't know, but my docs say that unless one has an exceptional unhealthy lifestyle (drinking in excess, smoking, fast food daily) they can't do enough damage in 25 or 30 years to cause their own cancer.
     
    Modern medicine has me living a normal life but it's expensive and I will be on it forever or until they find a cure, whatever comes first. There's simply no option for me other than to take these expensive treatment if I want to stay alive (and I do, I'm 32 years old and not ready to check out for at least another 30 years...)

    Nothing (again). You cannot sponsor a tourist visa. Also, an invitation letter and the other items are likely to do more harm than good. they just need to bring their evidence of ties to return home, as you noted they will do. They don't really care about why they're coming to the US so much as why they have a compelling reason to leave.
     
    No, an I-134 should not be provided since you cannot sponsor a tourist visa.
     
    Good luck.

    This is terrible for all LPRs. What if an emergency happens in their home country before they can get citizenship? They will have to skip their loved ones funeral or risk being unable to return? What about those whose home countries don't allow dual citizenship and  are long-term permanent residents?

    That is horrific. Putting the wall on US taxpayers is bad enough; even many conservatives agree that the wall will be a financial and logistical nightmare. But to put that on Mexico, who already has plenty of their own needs to spend money on, and to punish them if they don't bow down to Cheeto-In-Chief? I can't believe this is happening.

    No, not at all. But with all of the things Trump is doing...it's hard to tell how far he'll go and how long they'll let him get away with it before attempting to impeach. He's been in office for 1 week and look at the mass hysteria that he's already caused.

    Whether Azan is scamming or not, Nicole has been so disrespectful to the culture. I mean, whining about the different food? Only being interested in the fries on top of the tagine? The thing is, Moroccan food is actually not spicy-hot. It's just very flavorful. My dad is someone who won't even try Indian or Thai, but he'll happily scarf up my husband's tagine. And I will admit that I made some blunders with my husband as far as physical affection in the early days, but when he said something, I stopped, filed it in my mind as "not culturally appropriate" and didn't whine and take it personally. Nicole is such an ugly American.
    Speaking of disrespect, I moved from Team Chantel to Team Pedro when she was backing that train up against other guys in front of him. And her plan makes no sense. What if a family friend watches "90 Day Fiancée" and calls up her family? Plus, the clips will be on YouTube forever.
    Anafisa makes me laugh. I don't feel sorry for Jorge because it seems women are only of value to him if they can cook/clean or are "hot."
    Matt's friend Patrick is way too involved in policing Matt's love life. And Matt needs to stand up for Alla when she's getting the third degree.

    I finally watched the first episode because I was curious about the Morocco-American couple...to my surprise they were not the biggest trainwreck. No one so far could top the MRA dude and the Russian gold digger. And we still have the Nigerian catfisher to come.
