Ecuador Presidential Election

Seems this is much more of an example of an insurrection than anything seen here in the US post Civil War. -
HOW LOW CAN BLUE CITIES SINK? [merged threads]
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Gotta love Democrat Regressive Rule. Carjackings in DC Doubled to a Staggering 959 in 2023 Our nation’s capital is a model of dysfunctional, clueless blue city governance. Nothing highlights that better than the explosion of crime—and especially carjackings—since 2020. The official 2023 year-end tally of carjackings in Washington, D.C., ended up being a staggering 959, twice the number of the previous year. There were 152 carjackings in 2019. That number more than doubled in 2020, and it has been soaring ever since. What’s particularly hard to believe is that 65% of the carjackings last year were committed by perpetrators under the age of 18. And it isn’t just carjackings that are on the rise. In 2023, 274 people were killed in homicides, a 36% increase from the year before, according to WUSA-TV, Washington’s CBS affiliate. That’s the highest homicide rate in two decades. https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/01/08/there-were-staggering-959-carjackings-dc-last-year/ -
Help for bona fide marriage evidence
Dashinka replied to Faisal-US's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I know when we submitted photos, we simply copied them onto PowerPoint slides (two per slide) with a brief caption underneath containing the date and location of the photo. We put them roughly in order chronologically. Then you can save the PowerPoint as a PDF to upload as a smaller file. Good Luck! -

How Early to Show Up at Interview

You can show up earlier, but that is no guarantee that will get you out faster. Good Luck! -
Daily update on Biden tanking america
Dashinka replied to Nature Boy 2.0's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Alternatively, this could simply be a sign that Lloyd Austin has no respect for Joe Biden. -
That might be tough given the overall tenor of the thread. It does seem the out-of-control migrant crisis fueled by the current administration would have an impact relative to DHS/USCIS, so the conclusion by the OP seems justified. The fact that those following the process legally and actually paying the bills for USCIS are now being moved to the back of the line can be very frustrating. We always say there is no such thing as premium processing, but on the surface it seems the administration has now allowed for those paying whatever fees are required to the handlers in Mexico to get to the US Southern border are getting first class service from USCIS.

I agree with @nastra30, the main issue will be finding a qualified joint sponsor that is willing to fill out an I864 when the I130 hits NVC. As to he moving to your country and finding work there while awaiting the process, apart from needing to follow applicable immigration laws in that country and the need for your husband to have a provable plan to re-establish domicile back in the US when the time comes for your visa interview, he will also need to find a joint sponsor to help complete your immigration process. Good Luck!

Daily update on Biden tanking america
Dashinka replied to Nature Boy 2.0's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
For four years all we heard from the Democrats and MSM was the Trump Administration is a circus. Hmm, it seems either no one in the Harris/Biden Administration knows what is going on, and/or Joe Biden is a complete racists and doesn't really rely on his DIE nominee L. Austin. -
Filling in the I130 form
Dashinka replied to vogueverve's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I agree, leave it blank as USCIS may think the middle name is "N/A". Good Luck! -
US citizen to petition for dad and brother to visit for 1 month of stay
Dashinka replied to visa3310's topic in Tourist Visas
This deserves to be re-emphasized, do not use local agents to fill out the DS160's. You can assist them in filling out the forms, but as I and others have said, these applications are your father's and brother's, and has nothing to do with USCIS. -
Very good read, and good analysis. Ukraine Facing Increasingly Unfavorable Odds The Biden administration is therefore correct to warn that without continued and massive U.S. military aid to Ukraine, Russia will quickly win. It is however equally clear that U.S. aid — still less at the levels sustained to date — cannot be guaranteed even in the medium term. Partly due to the new U.S. commitment to Israel created by the Gaza war and the threat of it spreading, the United States is also failing adequately to replenish Ukraine’s dwindling stocks of air-defense missiles, which are crucially important both on the battlefield and in the protection of Ukrainian infrastructure and industry. Both the United States and Europe are failing to meet their targets for increased production of artillery shells, which Russia is firing at some three to five times the Ukrainian rate. And even if the West could vastly increase its military production (highly doubtful given the pressure on Western budgets, supply chain problems, and skilled labor shortages), we cannot provide Ukraine with more soldiers. Ukrainian manpower shortages are becoming increasingly acute, and are leading to increasingly draconian conscription measures and bitter disputes within the Ukrainian government over how to enforce conscription, which is faltering in the face of growing public resistance. Following the failure of last year’s Ukrainian counteroffensive, the Biden administration and the Ukrainian government and military have all shifted to a defensive strategy, including trying to fortify Ukraine’s long northern border with Russia and Belarus. This region has been quiet since Moscow withdrew its troops in the spring for 2022, after the failure of its initial invasion from the north. However, Russia’s growing advantage in numbers means that at some point in future, its army may be able to attack again along this front. While smart, and even if successful in the short term, a strategy of standing indefinitely on the defensive has two colossal disadvantages for Ukraine. Politically, it brings with it the obvious implication that Russia will go on holding the areas it now controls. This being so, more and more Ukrainians and Westerners will obviously begin to call for a compromise peace. The danger is that if we leave this too long, the balance will have shifted so decisively against Ukraine that Russia will have few incentives left to compromise. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/russia-ukraine-peace/
