Taxes are big for me as well, and I agree, despite how the Trump tax cuts are framed by most of the media, they benefitted a lot of people that are not in the 1%. Healthcare is a tougher one since much of that is handled by the states. I don't really see the US adopting a system like in Canada or the UK, but it would be nice to see the costs come down. One wonders if the high cost of healthcare here in the US is somewhat caused by the insurance bureaucracy created by various governments. I know with me, I often offer to pay cash for things, and it seems things can be cheaper when the insurance bureaucracy is cut out. -
I agree, 260 miles is generally within range, but of course one must factor in HVAC and battery temperature management which may drive the range down. I also agree the CT just looks weird driving down the road. Btw, my longest trip so far in 2024 was 1200 miles one-way with another 2000 mile trip planned in September.

My only point with VDH is he failed to mention that the Democrat/left/establishment conspiracies are never promoted as conspiracies by their MSM allies. How Left-wing Conspiracies Work Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing conspiracies—beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and paranoia to serve precise political agendas. We now know that the conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax—Donald Trump allegedly conniving with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote—was perpetrated by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Its funding was hidden by the Democratic National Committee, the law firm Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS. The Russian “disinformation” laptop hoax—the notion that the same Russians four years later created a fake Hunter Biden laptop to smear the Biden family on the eve of the first 2020 debate—was jumpstarted by the Biden campaign’s then-chief foreign policy advisor, current Secretary of State Antony Blinken. https://amgreatness.com/2024/06/17/how-left-wing-conspiracies-work/

Removal of conditions & travel notice
Dashinka replied to EllisAndRenz's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
Not very long to the best of my knowledge. They issue them by mail now. However, after reading this it seems she does not need an ADIT stamp if she still has a valid extension letter. Hopefully the GC will come sooner than estimated and this will no longer be an issue. Also, it is a good idea to have a handy copy of the CBP carrier guide. https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf Note: If you were issued an extension notice after filing, and you are in possession of your expired Permanent Resident Card (PRC), please show these two documents as your valid proof of status upon request. If you are not in possession of your expired Permanent Resident Card, your extension notice is no longer valid, please make an appointment to obtain proof of status. https://my.uscis.gov/accounts/appointment_request/overview -
Removal of conditions & travel notice

The expired GC and valid extension letter should suffice, but if worried, I would suggest attempting to get an ADIT stamp since the 10yr GC has been approved. Good Luck! -
I-130 Filing Concerns
Dashinka replied to Equardo's topic in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America
What that means is that a person cannot AOS as there is no visa number available for the beneficiary. Numerically limited visa categories such as the family based groups (F1, F2A/F2B, F3, and F4) are limited in numbers each year. When an I130 is filed for someone in that category, it sits in limbo until nearing a time when a visa is actually available. When attempting an AOS from one of these categories, the beneficiary has to have a visa available before they can attempt the AOS. The same is not true of categories such as IR1, IR2, or IR5 that are no numerically limited. -
Hard to say, all you can really do is apply and find out. Good Luck!

I-130 Filing Concerns
Dashinka replied to Equardo's topic in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America
Thanks, I missed the part of this being an F2A case. -
Considering folks, especially in the LA area, are stealing fire hydrants, and traffic signal wiring, I can't imagine these hefty cables at DC fast charging sites would last long. Thefts of charging cables pose yet another obstacle to appeal of electric vehicles https://www.wtae.com/article/electric-vehicle-charging-cables-theft/61087733

Not really. The person who wrote the initial article only spent a little time with the tribe, and essentially was touting the benefits and there certainly are benefits with the internet. Overall, it sounded like a petulant response to all the news sources jumping on the negatives of the internet. Regardless, as time moves on, it seems clear what will happen. Btw, the article was free to me at least when I found it, now it is paywalled as I would never spend hard earned money on NYTimes.

As mentioned, decide for yourself based on your political desires, and when some simply say one Party is better than the other, take that with a grain of salt. Also remember that local elections are extremely important (it is not just all about who is running for President, Governor or Senator). Congrats on your naturalization! -
Interesting. Some folks in the entertainment industry actually aren't so petulant. Scores of actresses turn down roles in play critical of JK Rowling’s gender views The stage production, which is set to debut at the Edinburgh Fringe, has already caused outrage over a working title which labelled the gender-critical Harry Potter author a c----. The production is yet to cast any of the female roles, including that of Rowling herself. The part of Harry Potter film star Emma Watson has also been repeatedly turned down, and around 90 actresses have refused to take part in the project amid concerns over its critique of Rowling. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/other/scores-of-actresses-turn-down-roles-in-play-critical-of-jk-rowling-s-gender-views/ar-BB1oa9Am

I-130 Filing Concerns
Dashinka replied to Equardo's topic in Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America
It really depends on your plans. You mention she is currently in the U.S. planning on returning in 3 months. If that is the case, she can choose to AOS now assuming you have all the evidence to file, but the IV vs AOS question should reflect what your long term plans are. She cannot decide in a few months or so after returning she would like to come back to the U.S. and AOS as that would be fraud, so if your plan is to pursue the spousal visa, I would stick with that and she can use her B2, but she should be careful of abusing it (I.e short stays with more time outside the U.S. than inside). Good Luck! -
i-130 Did I mess up my standalone i-130?
Dashinka replied to brahstir's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
You should be fine. Good Luck! -
The online case status can alternate between Administrative Processing and Refused, but as long as it does not say Denied/Rejected you are still fine. As far as I have been able to deduce, Administrative Processing means someone is actively doing something with your case, but the visa has still not been officially Issued, and Refused means the case is still sitting in limbo awaiting all the rest of the work. Hopefully you will see the message "Issued" soon as it sounds like your interview went well. Good Luck!

To my knowledge, the Utah Zoom marriage is accepted at all consulates as long as you meet the requirement of meeting in person (consummating the marriage) either during or after the ceremony. Why not go to India, and do the Utah Zoom marriage while you are together? You can then submit the I130 as soon as you get the marriage certificate which I understand is done electronically for this type of ceremony. Good Luck!
