Just wow. I know when I moved into my current complex they had a weight limit on dogs, but it was never enforced. A few years ago we had an activist attorney and dog hater join the board that decided it was time to start enforcing it. He is not on the board anymore and things returned to normal.

Yes, I noticed that. Looks like one fell onto a sharp knife, and the other was unfortunate enough to fall onto some exposed electrical clamps. Not really a big fan of torture, but also not a big fan of coddling either.

Yes, Fisker was announcing the dire situation for some time. Considering they really don't have much brand recognition, I doubt anyone was seriously looking at them.

Hmm, most people don't make a screw up like that unless they are quite comfortable using such slurs. Not to worry, the Democrats always repeat history. WATCH: Democrat frontrunner in tight Senate race drops racial slur during House hearing The Democrat frontrunner in what could be one of the most closely watched Senate races this year uttered a racial slur during a Thursday House Budget Committee hearing, something he says was unintentional. Rep. David Trone, D-Md., dropped the disparaging term for Black people while speaking during the hearing about tax policy with Shalanda Young, the director of the Office of Budget and Management, who was testifying before the committee. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/watch-democrat-frontrunner-in-tight-senate-race-drops-racial-slur-during-house-hearing/ar-BB1kjWTX

No one said Trump signed an order, but of course the easily gaslighted (bless their hearts) will spin the narrative anyway they see fit. The offer to bring in the NG was made to the Democrat leaders in charge of the security (Bowser and Pelosi), and was turned down, but at least Nancy Pelosi's daughter got her film. The videos, recorded by Pelosi’s daughter, showed the congresswoman responding to the attack in real time as she negotiated with governors and defense officials in an effort to get Guard troops to the Capitol. In one clip published by CNN, Pelosi can be heard saying that if Trump showed up she would “punch him out.” Some on social media used the occasion to revive baseless claims that Pelosi had stopped a Trump order for tens of thousands of National Guard troops before the event.

Your income is only relevant if it will continue from the same source after you immigrate. You can also use assets/cash, but the financial bar is higher (5x). Good Luck!

Thanks for providing an update. Hopefully this will clear up for you soon. Good Luck!

Breaking now. Prayers for those involved. Second link has the video.

If you cannot upload it for your FIL’s case, send him a copy of it to take to the interview.

If you are expected to start employment upon entering the US, that may be evidence of a financial loss that can be included.

That is why I was asking if the visa status online was saying "Issued", but in this case the child appears to have been born prior to the issuance of the visa which means the above links do not seem to apply. I guess you need to get an I130 in the system ASAP and request expedites at each stage. Apologies for misleading you, and it is really frustrating that the consulate will not do a DCF for the child given the soon to be immediate need to travel.

Has the visa been officially "issued", or are you still in AP/Refused status?

Why not use a widow's walk?

You can try requesting "Infopass" in the phone system prompt to reach a Tier 1 agent. Don't bother with the Tier 1 as they will not be able to help with any case specific issues so you will need to request contact from a Tier 2 that may take some time for them to respond back. Good Luck!

Here is the relevant information from the latest CBP Carrier Guide on Page 10. Child born abroad to an accompanying parent after issuance of an immigrant visa to the parent but before the parent’s initial admission as an immigrant may be boarded as long as the child has a passport and birth certificate. https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/assets/documents/2023-Nov/Carrier Information Guide ENGLISH.pdf

This was in the UK, but it should apply to you as well. Good Luck!

It is commonly referred to as the I485 Receipt Notice of Action (NOA) which gives you authorized stay while the process continues. Good Luck!

Why not, everyone sat back an allowed Russia to take Crimea, and most of the East region in 2014. Ukraine cannot sustain a stalemate of attrition. Sure we can send weapons, but Ukraine needs soldiers to use them, and as the war drags on, people lose their desire to die for some leaders.

I expect it would be more like temper tantrums.

I was listening to an overnight show that caters to truckers, and one driving an EV truck was saying they have to charge for an hour to be able to drive another hour. Seems impractical as truckers (cross country) do not generally stop every hour to re-fuel. I still think if anything works for cross country trucking it will be H2, but we are still a long way from building up that infrastructure.

Sure, the companies will just suck up the cost out of the goodness of their hearts. Electrifying trucking in U.S. could cost as much as $1 trillion, burden consumers, study warns Trucking fleets and operators of charging stations, according to the study, will need to invest $620 billion into new charging infrastructure. This includes the chargers, site infrastructure and utility cost service. Trucking operators will also need to invest in on-site charging stations, which the study estimates will cost in total $496 billion. Chargers for heavy-duty trucks, such as semi trucks, will cost $145,000 per vehicle. Medium-duty trucks will cost $54,000 per vehicle. https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/energy/study-electrifying-trucking-us-could-cost-much-1-trillion

Interesting article and analysis. America has no Ukraine Plan B except more war https://asiatimes.com/2024/03/america-has-no-ukraine-plan-b-except-more-war/

Not directly related to Ukraine, so I thought it deserved its own thread. Moscow attack proves Russia — and US — have lost sight of priorities The Islamic State terrorist attack in Moscow is the starkest possible reminder that despite the war in Ukraine, Russia and the West also still have some of the same enemies. What the terrorists — ISIS-K an Afghanistan offshoot of IS took responsibility — did in Moscow, they have done in Paris and Manchester — and will do (and did do, on 9/11) in New York and Washington, if they get the chance. This horror is also a reminder of the fatal results of mutual distrust. It appears that U.S. intelligence warned the Russian government of an impending attack — and President Putin dismissed this as a U.S. “provocation.” In the event that Russian intelligence were to warn the U.S. of a coming terrorist attack, it is only too easy to imagine Washington reacting in the same way. Moreover, the attack should make us think about the degree to which governments and security elites around the world are liable to lose sight of the real interests and safety of their fellow citizens — which it is their first duty to defend. In their obsessive focus on the supposed threat from each other, both the Russian and the U.S. establishments have forgotten this duty. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/moscow-attack-terrorism/

I really don't see the logic behind a prosecutor wanting to put Cohen on the stand. I suppose there are some that will blindly believe him due to their advanced TDS, but it is clear legally that Cohen will do or say anything to attempt to save his own skin. Once privileged legal memos create new credibility crisis for Trump fixer Michael Cohen Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former fixer, will be a star witness central to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s effort to win a conviction against the former president. But first Cohen will have to address his record of perjury convictions and be confronted by his own words years ago to his own lawyers that exonerated his former boss. Memos reviewed by Just the News show Cohen in 2018 repeatedly insisted to his attorney that he had no incriminating evidence on Trump related to the hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The contradictions between Cohen’s public statements and claims to his attorney were first reported by Just the News last year, but have fresh relevance in light of new developments in the New York hush money case. https://justthenews.com/government/courts-law/hld-once-privileged-legal-memos-create-new-credibility-crisis-michael-cohen

You should be able to make this change at the interview with the Consulate. Good Luck!
