  1. Toddlers can work guns. We hear about it more often than not.

    ^^^^ this is what you do. toddlers do what "more often than not" ??? Are you saying that more toddlers than not can "work" guns??? More toddlers die of gunfire than other toddlers?

    In order to die from a fall, you have to climb a considerable height. People do it, but I'm betting suicide by gun is more than suicide by jumping. If someone has the numbers, let me know.

    He said "jumping off a building" and you turned it into something that fits your point of view. I can think of several ways to jump off a building that requires little to no effort.

    And I think you're right, there probably are more suicides by gun but again, not the point.

  2. This is why I wanted to have this in PM. My response is going to be blasted because of who I am, but here goes.

    I don't condone looting or rioting. Period. But as Janelle and John has correctly pointed out, justice doesn't work for black people in this country as it should. There's a disturbing trend of black men being murdered and unarmed but white men with guns and have actually killed people are arrested without incident. And it's getting worse as the days go by. It's wrong to loot and destroy, but what's the proper response? How do you complain to the top when that's where it's coming from?

    Personally, I would love to see people of all colors get together and march. Like the old days. But you're talking about years of this going on. How much more do we have to take? How many more men and women have to die before someone is held accountable? Do we keep blaming black people for our own death? What's the proper course of action? Can't wear hoodies, don't buy an expensive car, just lay down when a cop walks up and pray he doesn't shoot you if you sneeze?

    We shouldn't have to ask to be treated fairly. It should come with the package. This whole we have to clean up our entire population in order to be treated as equals is unrealistic. As for injustices, when it's happening to a certain demographic consistently, there's a problem. That is what needs to be addressed. We shouldn't have to hear, that's just life. Want to stop looting and rioting? Re-train cops. Learn to tell the difference between a thug and some kid in a hoodie or a 52 year old man going home to see his grandkids.

    You're right. You shouldn't have to ask to be treated fairly. That being said, there's a whole lot of black people in Baltimore not acting as though they deserve respect. They are perpetuating the stereotype.

  3. Dears Vjers,

    I am a US born citizen. Both me and my husband have tempers, i mean you will not even know which one is worst than the other. Since we met our love for each other grows so well and we were so happy until i started being jealous and kind of controlling. Since this started, we hardly go a week without fighting 3 or 4 times. He is always supportive of me and i have no doubt he loves me but i have trust problems due to failed relationships with 2 men in the US. I was betrayed before and it kind of affected me so much so that it makes me think all men are bad. He came into my life and help me so much to forget my past and move on looking towards to the future but am finding it hard to let it go because my past relationships all started good and happy but ended up bad if not worst and its kind of making me expect the same thing will be coming my way again. He sees my actions as controlling and irritating and sometime disrespectful and he always says am making his life miserable and making him pay for actions of my EXs. This problem has been happen for almost 2 years now and its not like i love talking about it to him or i do not want to let it go but it just can't leave my head. As a matter of fact i love him more than my previous relationships. 2 of his best friends are in the US here all married American and they all fight too but not like us and they use to advice us especially myself.

    We have known each other for 3 years and 9 months and since that time i have been going back and forth until my last trip when we got married. He is a Gambian Canadian born but currently living in his country in Africa employed with a well paying job which is the reason he never allowed me to file for a K-1 all those years because he does not want to leave his job to move over to the US even as am talking to you right now our petition IR-1/CR-1 is approved and i am trying to get a joint sponsor but we fought again and he said unless i move over to his country, he will not come over because he fear loosing his good job and come over and we will get divorce or live in fighting. I am pregnant right now and also going through stress of fighting with him. If am with him, we do not fight at all and he never allow stay inches from him but when we are apart it always seems we want each other death. His mom in Canada call me and we discoursed an agreed that i move to Africa and forget about the petition so that we will both be happy. My husband also agree i move to African. He said when we work on our marriage after a year or 2 we can come over. My question is

    Has anyone gong through such fights and how do you handle them please?

    Is it safe to go and give birth in Africa and will my child be a citizen of the US?

    How long can an approved IR-1/CR-1 Petition from USCIS can be with the NVC before it expires?

    Is it possible for an approved petition to be delayed for about 10 to 12 months?

    Thank you in advance

    A quote that has taken me too long to learn but is so very true: What you fear you create. Please don't take as long as I did to learn that lesson.

  4. I thought everything needed to be translated into English since the embassy is American. For sure the birth certificate and police certificate but not as sure for medical records and Haiti.

    In Ghana we had to use one of the two clinics required by the American embassy where the records were in English. But there are so many tribal languages in Ghana that English is the unofficial language and my husbands schools taught him in English. Proper English, not American English.

    YMMV

  5. I have heard a number of couples that got an RFE at the NVC stage to re-file their taxes correctly before they could receive their case complete. So no, they didn't get a denial at the interview because they had to correct it before it could even move to the embassy stage. I suppose if one didn't comply with the law and didn't do what the NVC RFE requested a couple could be denied at that point. There wouldn't be a denial from USCIS because tax returns aren't part of that petition.

    Like a previous poster said: married is married and the taxes must be filed that way. When I filed our 2013 taxes I had planned ahead, got a certified copy of my husbands passport and applied for an ITIN number so we could file MFJ. Where did I learn that? VJ and IRS.gov.

  6. What does it mean when they update status ,,,, as each month like within 30 days they updated the dates,,, but no change in status ( AP)

    I think it usually means that something was added to your file like an email recd from you or they received an answer to one of their investigative questions or logged that you had called them, etc.

    It does seem like a long time for AP for Canada. Are there any red flags in your case?

  7. Just so we're clear Marvin, every time I go to Africa I get a real lesson in what it's like.

    Just so we're clear, you go to Africa and get a lesson. I've been having it taught to me every single day of my life. And when I go out of the country, class is still in session. There's a difference between seeing it and living it.

    Nice try at deflection. It's not a contest about who has experienced the most, I was making sure I wasn't included in the group of those you think "don't get it" that you mentioned in the post I was replying to.
