The point is you are making political decisions solely on a personality. It is interesting that Trump was a darling of the establishment/Left when he was funneling money into their campaign chests, but of course now, he must be ruined as he is a threat to that very establishment. Personally I do not like Trump, but when you get past the narrative concocted by the DC Establishment and their allies in the Leftist MSM one can see his policies are what is needed. What is the alternative, more division, more elite leadership in DC, more dependence on DC. It is time to decentralize the Federal government, spread the agencies out of DC and let the DC career bureaucrats really experience the country from outside the bubble of the beltway. Biden is the embodiment of the Establishment hence I hate him way more than Trump.

Most married couples in an international LDR do not have a lot of co-habitation evidence to submit. All you can do is start the process by filing the I130, and start co-mingling the marriage as you will need the marriage evidence at the NVC/consulate step in the process which will come in about a year or so. Good Luck!

Refused is not the same as Denial. Refused means the case is still in a state of limbo, and hopefully it will move soon. Good Luck!

It is so nice that Old Joe is allowing folks like Maduro to send his criminals here.

How many people throw their money away at a traditional school for a worthless degree? Why is Old Corrupt Petulant Joe using taxpayer money to cover for these schools so they can continue to bamboozle people?

It is amazing that folks on the Left that always tell us how smart and educated they are fall for the gaslighting of the Democrats.

They use the term “Refused” to essentially say the application is still pending, and “Administrative Processing” to show they are actually working on something. Refused does not mean Denied, and hopefully the Consulate will change it to Issued soon. Good Luck!

I just did my passport renewal with no expedite and it took less than four weeks.

If you have relatively urgent travel, why not book an appointment at the Passport Agency after the oath ceremony. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/get-fast/passport-agencies.html

Why does every person with lasting TDS think people who would vote for Trump over Biden depict it as some sort of Dear Leader syndrome. Heck, Trump has many many flaws, but the one thing he is not is a predictable and corrupt career politician.

Ahh, more democracy engineering by the establishment. I get it, believe what we say or else.

Yep, Trump U. was found guilty of fraud doing the same thing that every other university is doing. Hmm, different levels of justice, I guess. Anyway, the "good" universities just got the green light to raise tuition costs from our current petulant-in-chief occupant of the WH. Whatever, if Trump is successful on appeal, the judge and the prosecutor should be open for personal liability.

Is this surprising?

I suspect she did not mean to say “bipartisan,” while she did mean “toxic and un-American.” Regardless, politics, toxicity, and lack of patriotism are not matters the appeals court can or will consider https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/20/2224645/-Alina-Habba-claims-she-has-many-many-wins-but-nobody-reports-them-she-doesn-t-name-one Ahh, a Far Left website is dancing with glee over all of this. Whatever, I guess NY can prosecute anyone that challenges a tax assessment, or provides a valuation estimate with disclaimers even though there is no victim. The fact that this faking it judge (to use your words), basing the worth of a commercial piece of property based on some tax assessing bureaucrat opens up quite a few folks in NY to eventual prosecution. I know the governor said don't worry, as long as there is political agreement with those in power, you are safe. Personally, I think Trump should donate the tower to the state and allow the NYC migrants to take over. I am sure all the "progressives" around Central Park would agree with that.

Wow, there was only 75 in the ceremony yesterday afternoon. As far as i know, Detroit only does Judicial oaths.

Russian Collusion 2.0 seems to be taking shape. The ‘Russia Collusion’ Reboot Is Going To Be Terrible If Democrats had common decency, they would cook up a fresh conspiracy theory for us in 2024, because, really, the prospect of reliving the same hysterics over Russia for another year—or four—is just depressing. Yet Russia collusion fanfic is on the uptick as the 2024 presidential election approaches. The reboot features many of the same characters—Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and so on—who are already scaremongering about Putin’s influence on the GOP. https://thefederalist.com/2024/02/22/the-russia-collusion-reboot-is-going-to-be-terrible/

What is interesting is that all this is because of Trump. People don't seem to understand how he negotiates. Germany's Scholz commits to spending 2% on defense 'in the 2020s, in the 2030s and beyond' https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/germanys-scholz-commits-to-spending-2-on-defense-in-the-2020s-in-the-2030s-and-beyond/ar-BB1iq9Ln

Completely agree. There is a massive push to protect Old Corrupt Joe and the DC establishment, so these actions probably seem appropriate in their eyes. I am sure none of the sources the CBS News SLT see in these files will make their way to the WH/DC Establishment (sarcasm intended).

Probably could also go in the Ukraine thread, but seemed a little more appropriate here. I also noticed the discrepancy in how Old Corrupt Joe is treating the two conflicts, but of course he is a career politician. While Biden Pushes Ukraine To Fight, He Demands Israel Surrender But the ugly truth is that Biden's reelection prospects are threatened by the emerging progressive Left and pro-Hamas faction of the Democratic Party. And there is no one, no issue, the president won't sell out for votes. This is why the administration sends emissaries to pacify the people who cheered the Oct. 7 attack. This is why the White House leaks snippets of Biden insulting Israel's (elected) leader in a way he would never think to attack Volodymyr Zelensky or Mahmoud Abbas or even the Iranian mullahs. While backing Ukraine allows Democrats to virtue signal about their love of "democracy," turning on Israel allows them to appease the growing anti-Western sentiment of their base. It's only going to get worse in the coming years. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/02/23/while_biden_pushes_ukraine_to_fight_he_demands_israel_surrender_150544.html

I suspect it is the Dems and the Left that believe the communist/Marxist phrase referenced is written in the US Constitution considering all the great "progress" they are proposing. Now that is funny as I am always told how smart the Dems/Left are. Btw, love the hair!

Blue "progressive" led cities seem delusional, but whatever, a DC jury also ruled in favor of the charlatan Mann. Chicago sues five giant oil companies, accusing them of climate change destruction, fraud Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court Tuesday that names BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Exxon Mobil and Shell, accusing the companies of discrediting science and misleading the public as the climate crisis continued to wreak havoc on the planet. The city is also suing the trade group American Petroleum Institute, which it accuses of conspiring with the companies to deceive consumers through disinformation campaigns even as the industry acknowledged internally that climate change was real. https://chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/2024/02/20/bp-chevron-conocophillips-exxonmobil-chicago-lawsuit-climate-change-damage

Not that I have heard of as long as the “consummation” occurs prior to filing the I130 which you are already aware of, and you have good evidence to prove that. I would expect more scrutiny with respect to your previous situation, but it appears you have that well in hand and have remedied it to the best of your ability. Good Luck!

Good luck trying to figure out how USCIS processes cases. I know it is frustrating to see other contemporary cases completed while your’s is still in process, but there are many factors involved. Each case is individual, and some may require more attention than others, also it is not clear within USCIS if they re-assign cases if a clerk/IO is on vacation, or out. It does seem that USCIS tries to somewhat balance the workload, but like in any relatively large government bureaucracy, who really knows what parameters are used. Good Luck!

One thing I learned yesterday at our cousin’s oath ceremony is that the judge is not scheduled (at least in Detroit) for an hour after the time stated on the interview NOA. My cousin’s notice stated 2pm, but the judge showed up at 3:15pm and apologized for being 15 minutes late. Apparently the notice time is when future citizens need to be in line to check in.

This applies to US immigration proceedings. That being said, he may want to take any relevant information regarding his Swedish immigration proceedings with him to the eventual interview. Good Luck!
