I have to ask, is "Hijabi" politically correct?
-
You can send it in to the address shown on you NOA1 (petition receipt) noting the case number reference, and keep a copy in case USCIS does not match this up to your case and you eventually receive an RFE. Best case is you send it in, USCIS connects it to you petition, and the case moves forward. On a side note, this was the one RFE (my then fiancé not signing the letter of intent, just sending me the Word document to include) my now wife and I received on our case from K1 all the way through her N400. It is not an end of the world situation, and honestly it will not completely sidetrack the petition if one comes, but you can potentially head it off since you already know the issue. Good Luck!

Consequences. Berkeley Eats Its Own At the first of the dinners, with dozens of students seated in Chemerinsky’s backyard, Malak Afaneh, co‑president of LSJP, arose with a microphone and launched into a speech. The rest is captured on video. Chemerinsky politely asks Afaneh to leave. Having slept through her constitutional law course, apparently, Afaneh insists that she is legally entitled to address a captive audience at a private residence. (“The National Lawyers Guild has informed us this is our First Amendment right,” she says. She should find better representation.) Chemerinsky’s wife then attempts to grab the microphone and places her hand on Afaneh’s shoulder, and subsequently her arm. (Chemerinsky would later state that Afaneh “shoved” his wife, but this is not evident in the footage.) Afaneh promptly shifts to victim mode, lecturing Chemerinsky about his wife’s “assault” on a “Muslim Palestinian hijabi student,” and declaring that they’ll be hearing from her lawyers. Afaneh and several other students then left the premises. Afaneh and her supporters have used the event as a launching pad for a cry-bullying campaign. The school’s pro-Palestine faculty group announced that it “stand[s] with Malak,” and “condemn[s] the violent and racist actions” of Chemerinsky and his wife. The LSJP, meantime, insisted that a “Palestinian Muslim” had suffered an unprovoked attack. The group published a truncated video of the confrontation, then accused Chemerinsky of engaging in a “pattern” of “disingenuity.” They claimed that he has “led the charge in suppressing Palestinian liberation work at the law school,” and called on him and his wife (a fellow law professor) to resign. Chemerinsky said that he was “deeply saddened” by what took place. But what is he going to do about it? As the posters, the interrupted dinner, and the post-disruption spin show, Berkeley Law is beset by self-absorbed, belligerent activists. The school is also riddled with anti-Semitic student groups that allegedly ban “Zionist” speakers, or require leaders to attend a “Palestine 101” training session (held by the good folks at LSJP). Perhaps the school should reorient its admissions process to find people who—heaven forfend—just want to focus on obtaining a sound legal education? Chemerinsky, as dean, is uniquely well positioned to push things in that direction, but almost certainly won’t. On this front, in fact, he was last seen, caught by secret camera, explaining how to smuggle discriminatory standards into the school’s faculty hiring process. https://www.city-journal.org/article/berkeley-eats-its-own

Stop Telling People to Only Vote on Election Day
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
I know for myself, I will only vote on Election Day as I can see my vote is counted right there (I know, machine hacking is possible). That being said, the GOP should follow the same early voting, vote by mail, and ballot harvesting (where legal) tactics that the Democrats use. -
N600K - how to pay outside US
Dashinka replied to antiou's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I imagine it depends on which bank is backing the card. You should be able to use a regular card (Visa, MC, Discover, etc.). Good Luck! -
But the I751 is still within normal processing times, so could a WoM drive a decision there? To my knowledge there is nothing that drives USCIS to adjudicate the I751 just because an N400 was submitted. Now for most, the cases are combined and decided at the same time, but there is no requirement that this happen unless someone has more information.

Dashinka replied to TL808's topic in Working & Traveling During US Immigration
Yes, the CG, regardless if it is conditional supersedes the AP/EAD. She is now an LP and can travel outside the U.S. -
HOW LOW CAN BLUE CITIES SINK? [merged threads]
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Could go either here or in the immigration master thread, but this one was handy. I guess fewer police to enforce the laws is logical.

Obtaining Shengen Visa for Russian Nationals

Interesting take. If Europe Pushes Putin, America Should Tap Out Even the United Kingdom, with Europe’s best military, is not ready for war with Russia. London is shrinking its army as it trims plans to increase military outlays. Sky News’ Deborah Haynes observed that “the armed forces would run out of ammunition ‘in a few days’ if called upon to fight”; “the UK lacks the ability to defend its skies against the level of missile and drone strikes that Ukraine is enduring”; and “it would take five to 10 years for the army to be able to field a war-fighting division of some 25,000 to 30,000 troops backed by tanks, artillery and helicopters.” Only slightly less reckless than entering the war are proposals to bring Ukraine into NATO—which most members have continued to reject despite the 2008 Bucharest declaration endorsing the inclusion of Kiev and Tbilisi. Indeed no one in NATO wanted to defend either country, so members lied for the next 14 years about their willingness to invite the two governments to join. Alas, having previously been misled about NATO expansion, Moscow took the prospect seriously, which ultimately animated Vladimir Putin’s invasion decision. Even then the alliance wasn’t prepared for nuclear war over Ukraine and stayed out. Nor are most members prepared for such a conflict today, despite the increasing attempt by Eastern Europeans to drag America into the war. That makes it even more important for the allies to step back from the abyss. Washington long ago recognized that Ukraine matters little for America’s defense. Kiev spent most of US history as part of the Russian empire in one form or another. Washington never considered going to war over who ruled Kiev. It should not do so now. The Biden administration should make very clear that if European meddling in Ukraine leads to war, America’s allies are on their own, NATO notwithstanding. There is no alliance obligation to rescue those joining someone else’s fight. Washington also should forthrightly reject Kiev’s NATO aspirations. No one has a right to join. Alliances are supposed to increase security. Accepting a country at war with Russia would yield conflict not peace. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/if-europe-pushes-putin-america-should-tap-out/

Daily update on Biden tanking america
Dashinka replied to Nature Boy 2.0's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Another win for Old Corrupt Petulant Pedophile Joe. What Washington got wrong about Niger and Russia It appears that the U.S. delegation’s visit to Niamey in March — led by Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Molly Phee and AFRICOM Commander General Michael Langley — did significant damage. Sahel expert Alex Thurston noted the reportedly uniliteral announcement of the U.S. delegation’s visit, and the relatively low rank of visiting officials, may have played a part. The subject of the talks — Niger’s turn towards Russia and Iran — appears to have been equally insulting. Ironically, the U.S. delegation’s attempt to counter Russian influence in Niger has further pushed the CNSP to seek ties with Russia. U.S. focus on Russia misses the reality that Africans, not Russians or Americans, are driving major political shifts in the Sahel. The formation of the Alliance of Sahelian States (AES), for example, was a project initiated by Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger first and foremost to counteract the military threat from a regional bloc, ECOWAS. That Russia welcomed the development does not mean Moscow inspired it. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/us-niger-russia/
