Maybe this guy can give us an example. UCL Professor's Controversial Tweet on Pandemic-Driven Population 'Culling' Sparks Outrage In his controversial tweet, McGuire stated: "If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate." The tweet was deleted a few hours later, but McGuire showed no regrets for his statement. The incident has raised concerns about the professor's views on humanity, despite his reputation as a well-known expert in his field. McGuire later clarified that he meant a socio-economic shock to slash economic activity could reduce emissions, not an actual culling of the population. However, the damage was already done, with widespread condemnation of his initial statement. https://tr.im/world/united-kingdom/ucl-professors-controversial-tweet-on-pandemic-driven-population-culling-sparks-outrage

HOW LOW CAN BLUE CITIES SINK? [merged threads]
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Why would anyone want to actually spend tourist money in NYC? Times Square tourist mom, 36, stabbed by maniac was leading school trip to NYC: ‘Don’t feel safe there’ The tourist mom stabbed in the chest by a knife wielding maniac in Times Square in broad daylight on Saturday was chaperoning a group of school girls on a class trip when she was attacked — and her family has no plans to visit the city again. “We don’t feel safe there,” the victim’s husband, John Lohr, told The Post. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/times-square-tourist-mom-36-stabbed-by-maniac-was-leading-school-trip-to-nyc-don-t-feel-safe-there/ar-BB1mkCnS -
I-130 and sponsor confusion
Dashinka replied to Smg1027's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
DCF is only accepted under exceptional circumstances (see link). If you have an immediate need to repatriate back to the US, DCF may be an option, but you need to explore that before filing an I130 to USCIS. If you do believe you qualify for an exceptional circumstance DCF, here is a link of someone who recently went through DCF in London. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-3 -
Sending I-693 after I-485
Dashinka replied to wazzujoel's topic in Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas
Personally, I would wait for an RFE or the interview as I don't really trust USCIS to actually match it up to your case, and if they fail to do that, you may end up needing to do another medical. Just my thoughts. Good Luck! -
Usually you will receive some form of notice that your case has been transferred. As @Crazy Cat mentioned, RFEs can come at any time. The I485 will process as it goes, some get lucky with quick processing, others face more lengthy waits and so far no one has come up with a solid reason why. It sounds like you are set with your L1 at this time, so just keep checking, and if an RFE does occur, respond to it as soon as possible. Good Luck!

I-129 Petition Expired
Dashinka replied to Rasberry.B's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
This may be helpful. Good Luck! -
Having an already approved I130 will help since you do not need to wait for that approval before the I485 is processed. That being said, I485's process on their own time clock. Is your I485 being processed as an employment based application or a family based application? Don't you already have a company lawyer do the work here? Regardless, lawyers cannot speed up processing times at USCIS. Evidence of an ongoing marriage, but not a basis for expedite. The only potential would be if you receive an RFE for more or missing evidence. I am not sure about the last question. Usually NBC handles transfers between offices, so maybe that means your I485 is being moved to your local office. Good Luck!

I know @Nature Boy 2.0 is a big fan, but Nancy Pelosi can be quite petulant. Pelosi rebuked to her face during Oxford debate after condemning Americans clouded by 'guns, gays, God' Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was rebuked as an "elite" during a recent Oxford Union debate, where she argued that populism in the United States is a threat to democracy. Pelosi — a self-described "devout" Catholic — said during the April 25 debate that certain Americans, whom she considered to be "poor souls who are looking for some answers," refuse to accept the answers Democrats give them on particular topics due to their beliefs about "guns, gays, [and] God." Challenging Pelosi's position in the debate about populism, Winston Marshall, a musician who was once a part of Mumford and Sons and now hosts the "Marshall Matters" podcast for The Spectator, spoke in opposition to the Oxford Union motion that "This House Believes Populism is a Threat to Democracy." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pelosi-rebuked-oxford-debate-condemning-americans-clouded-guns-gays-god

Daily Update on Biden Tanking America (Part 2)
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Hmm, I was always told that Trump is the liar-in-chief. Biden tells a lie a minute during CNN interview LIE 8: “[Inflation] was 9% when I came to office.” This is the lie of the night. Biden continues to pretend that the US was in terrible shape when he took office, when it was already on the rebound — thanks to Trump’s Warp Speed project that vaccinated people quickly against COVID. Inflation was a measly 1.4% in January 2021. Then Biden went on a first-year drunken-sailor spending spree, and inflation skyrocketed. https://nypost.com/2024/05/09/opinion/biden-tells-a-lie-a-minute-during-cnn-interview/ -
To be clear, since she is not currently inside the US, adjustment of status is not an option. I know it seems ticky-tack, but the rules are the rules, and people are not allowed to enter the US on a visitor visa with the preconceived intent to stay and adjust status. That being said, she can try and get a B2 visa to visit, but it will be a hard bar to overcome her immigration intent since there is a pending I130 for her. You can also try an expedite (possibly under humanitarian grounds) of her I130 petition (slightly faster, but by no means immediate). Hopefully you have also considered the high price of healthcare here in the US. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/expedite-requests

Does name change at N400 interview causes delay?
Dashinka replied to stech786's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
Just adding - in front of a Federal Judge. That may be a stretch, but who knows. At the oath it usually takes between 2-3 hours. About an hour to check everyone in, and depending on the amount of people naturalizing and how long the judge or facilitator talks another 1-1.5 hours to do the oath and pass out the naturalization certificates. Good Luck! -
Does name change at N400 interview causes delay?
Dashinka replied to stech786's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
I agree, it could in some circumstances. For instance if you naturalize at a USCIS office that regularly conducts administrative oath ceremonies, those with a name change will need to wait for a judicial oath. Some offices only do judicial oaths, so there would be no delay. As an example, my cousins recently naturalized through the Detroit office with a name change, application late (Nov/Dec) 2023, oath Feb. 22, 2024. That being said, if you desire a name change, doing it through the N400 is a good option. Good Luck! -
A little confusing, are you asking if a query of your B2 history will impact an upcoming application? Assuming so, I don't think so. Good Luck!

You can, or your spouse can take it with them to the interview. Only include your spouse's income if it will continue after she immigrates to the US. An I864A does not seem warranted in this case, but consulates have been known to request them at the interview. You may want to have one filled out for her to take to the interview just in case. The instructions from the consulate seem confusing. With any IR visa application, and I864 is required and all dependents (with a few rare exceptions) regardless of citizenship need to be counted on the I864. Here are a couple of relatively recent threads regarding DCF in Japan that may be helpful as a sort of guide. Good Luck!
