Kind of dovetailing off my last post, and yes, this could have gone in the Pope Francis thread, but it seemed more important here. After Pope Francis, The Vatican Must Embrace Energy Humanism His 2023 apostolic exhortation, “Laudate Deum,” reads like it was written by Greta Thunberg and a horde of Brussels-based bureaucrats. Francis claims that “millions of people are losing their jobs due to different effects of climate change: rising sea levels, droughts, and other phenomena affecting the planet have left many people adrift. Conversely, the transition to renewable forms of energy, properly managed, as well as efforts to adapt to the damage caused by climate change, are capable of generating countless jobs in different sectors.” Millions are losing their jobs due to climate change? Where, exactly, is that happening? If the transition is “properly managed,” it could create “countless jobs”? Really? Doing what? Putting solar panels on convent rooftops? Who will ensure “proper” management? Germany? Francis didn’t back up any of those extravagant claims. Laudate Deum contains 44 footnotes. That paragraph doesn’t have a single citation. Francis’ main felony appears in paragraph 55, where he claims, “the necessary transition towards clean energy sources such as wind and solar energy, and the abandonment of fossil fuels, is not progressing at the necessary speed.” Let’s ignore the foolishness of attempting to run the global economy on the incurably intermittent energy provided by the wind and sun. Let’s also ignore the landscape-obliterating, bird-and-bat-killing, farmland-paving energy sprawl that comes with large alt-energy projects. Instead, let’s focus on hydrocarbons. Claiming we should give up coal, oil, and natural gas — which, according to the latest IEA data, provide 80% of all global energy — ignores physics, economics, and the needs of the world’s poorest people. https://robertbryce.substack.com/p/after-pope-francis-the-vatican-must

Yes, she would use the same tax information since they file jointly. Good Luck!

Congratulations on dealing with a very rare case. Five years will fly by, and heed well the suggestions by @OldUser.

My wife came through DTW with a K1 (some time ago), and it was a breeze, no secondary at least for her. Detroit is not too busy relative to international flights, so expect relatively quick service. Good Luck! Here are the reviewed for DTW you may be interested in. https://www.visajourney.com/reviews/poereviews.php?trim=no&poe=Detroit&page=1&dfilter=0

She is filling out the I864A in support of her husband’s (the co-sponsor) I864, so treat the husband as the sponsor in this case. As to section 9, sure, fill out her name information, then put N/A at 3, 4, 5, and 6.

There is just one intending immigrant right?

Yep, I corrected it. Thanks!

Relationship to sponsor. Spouse of the (Joint) sponsor? Note: This comment was mistakenly edited.

If they file taxes jointly, it can be requested by USCIS or a consulate. Essentially, they are making sure that both parties are in agreement to the sponsorship. Good Luck!

Make a couple of copies of the extension letter. As the other responses have said, the original watermarked letter is required for re-entry, but sometimes airlines are unfamiliar and ask to retain a copy. Good Luck!

Developing story certainly. Huge power outage strikes Spain, Portugal and France: Entire cities plunged into blackouts, transport networks shut down and internet is cut off in scenes of mayhem All of Valencia and Barcelona were left without power, Spain's entire rail network shut down, internet services stopped working and there was chaos on the streets as traffic built up in Madrid and Lisbon. Madrid's Mayor has urged people to stay where they are as they deal with the disaster, while the president of the city's regional government has called for Spain's prime minister to activate an emergency plan so soldiers can be deployed. Videos online show railway networks in Spanish cities plunged into chaos, with people being evacuated through tunnels as blackouts hit underground stations and halted trains. Parts of France also lost power after the outages in Spain and Portugal, the country's grid operator confirmed. Further outages have been reported as far as Belgium, according to the latest information. The cause of the outages is not yet clear, with the Spanish government saying it is working to 'identify the origin'. A fire on the Alaric mountain in the south-west of France which damaged a high-voltage power line has also been identified as a possible cause, Portugal's national electric company REN said. A director at Spain's electricity grid operator said just before 3pm local time that the outage is 'exceptional and totally extraordinary' and will take between six and 10 hours to repair. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14655567/power-outage-Spain-Portugal-travel-chaos.html https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c9wpq8xrvd9t

You should be fine with the evidence your position and salary are continuing upon your repatriation to the US. Good Luck!

My wife also saw notices in both places. Usually it shows up online first. Good Luck!

Depends of course on the constitutionality of said executive action. The bigger question is related to how district judges can impose a nationwide injunction against said action. Beyond the executive branch proposing appointments to the Judicial Branch, and the Congress having the ability to approve the proposed appointment, or impeach a federal judge, that is about it. Congress also defines the judicial districts and the number of judges, and they could set term limits on the judges if they desired. Of course there is a deeper question between the 3 branches. Would we need so many executive actions if Congress actually did its job? We saw that being signaled in a couple of rulings in the last SCOTUS term taking away the executive departments ability to essentially clarify the vague law passed by Congress. Now this works both ways regardless of who is in charge of the WH. What it does do IMO is take power away for the unelected career bureaucrats that are just below the appointed folks. That is the question SCOTUS seems to be wrestling with right now. We shall see. There are a lot of problems with the current federal government in all branches. With the Executive, the bloated bureaucracy that is not answerable to anyone. Sure some of the department leaders go in front of a congressional committee, but do they actually say anything, and are congress members just trying to get in their sound bites for their next campaign? Then of course there is congress where everyone is just worried about sounding good, and collecting money for their next election. House members tend to start their re-election campaign the day after the last election unless they are already planning on retiring, then they just need to figure out ways to funnel campaign funds to their family members for their retirement. Additionally, the apportionment of congress is atrocious with an average of 750k people for each congress member. Why was the size of the House, our direct representatives, locked into 435? We are second worst for apportionment only surpassed by India. The 17th Amendment also screwed up what the founding fathers wanted relative to the Senate. Senators were never envisioned to be direct representatives of the people, but rather indirect through the legislatures of the states, but it is what it is. Lastly, the Judiciary. Nothing like a lifetime appointment to make someone feel above the law, hence we get a lot of the judges writing law from the bench (is that different than an EO?) at all levels.
