  1. I don't believe Mexico has price controls on drugs, but their regulations are different which may impact things such as purity of ingredients, etc. It is a multifaceted problem. I do my best to stay away from prescriptions if at all possible, and so far I have had good luck there.
  2. I read a story once maybe 4-5 years ago that the almost 60% of the taxes for the UK's NHS went for administration vs actual healthcare. Not sure if that is better or worse, probably worse as government bureaucracies tend to move toward less efficiency generally. Now of course the big health insurance firms here in the US are also quite inefficient, but I suspect more efficient than government run insurance. I am also curious with respect to drug costs, if prices are higher in countries without price controls so drug companies can subsidize countries with price controls.
  3. Actually, I did hear something about that as well. I cannot remember the source, but of course Zelenskyy is not Trump.
  4. I imagine almost all of them will accept an AOS NOA for admission or changing from F1 to in-state. I assume a university in Iowa is your choice since that is what shows in your profile, I would check with your chosen school admission's department to verify as this is something they may not advertise. Good Luck!
  5. You have a couple options. The cleanest IMO is to have your wife and her father each fill their own I864s and have her mother fill out an I864A even though her income is $0. I believe this is the cleanest as the AOS takes some time to process, and who knows if you and your wife will decide to move out to your own house or apartment before the AOS is finally decided. If you know for certain you will not be moving before the AOS is decided, she will still fill out an I864 and her father can fill out an I864A as a household member at the same principle address as the I864. Her mother should still fill out an I864A in either case. Good Luck!
  6. Interesting take on socialism. Australia's universal healthcare is crumbling. Can it be saved? From an office perched on the scalloped edge of the continent, Victoria Bradley jokes that she has the most beautiful doctor's practice in Australia. Outside her window, farmland rolls into rocky coastline, hemming a glasslike bay striped with turquoise and populated by showboating dolphins. Home to about 3,000 people, a few shops, two roundabouts and a tiny hospital, Streaky Bay is an idyllic beach town. For Dr Bradley, though, it is anything but. The area's sole, permanent doctor, she spent years essentially on call 24/7. Running the hospital and the general practitioner (GP) clinic, life was a never-ending game of catch up. She'd do rounds at the wards before, after and in between regular appointments. Even on good days, lunch breaks were often a pipe dream. On bad days, a hospital emergency would blow up her already punishing schedule. Burnt out, two years ago she quit – and the thread holding together the remnants of the town's healthcare system snapped. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cnv56q82vnro
  7. To the OP, if there is no reason for CBP to think you are inadmissible, you should be fine once you have your AP. Good Luck!
  8. Yep, file the I130 now, then after naturalization it should move from F2A to IR1, you may need to remind USCIS. Good Luck!
  9. My wife took some ESL classes when she arrived, and it really helped her a lot, plus she met a few good friends. Good Luck!
  10. Keep in mind that submitting an expedite request at USCIS (CSC) does not mean the expedite will continue through the entire process. If the expedite is approved at USCIS, you will need to submit another expedite request at the NVC stage after you submit all the required documents, and then again at the consulate. Good Luck!
  11. I agree, you can request an expedite as it will not cause any issues. Keep in mind expedites if approved do not necessarily mean immediate. Good Luck!
  12. Aren't those really hamburgers?
  13. As others have said, photos are secondary evidence, and in our case, we submitted only a few, and took some more to the interview (not even looked at). As @Boiler stated, amount of time spent together, and the specific country are important to gauge what might be needed. Good Luck!
  14. Simple response is to wait until visas are in your possession. You can certainly look at fares, but unless you are willing to pay extra for fully refundable tickets, you should wait. As to doing RT tickets, we did that for my now wife when she came over on her K1, and put the return date out as far as possible (6 months IIRC). Back then AOS was not taking quite so long, so she was able to use the return leg for a trip back to see her family after she received her GC. I believe you can cancel the return leg prior to the date and you will retain the credit less whatever the change fee is. Good Luck!
  15. Beets are good for you.
  16. You need to try some shuba (look it up).
  17. I am always amazed by the amount of artificial stuff that is put in food. All the dyes, and fake sugars, always reminds me of this.
  18. Yep, currently processing 2016 right now for both F1 and F2B, so 10-15 is conservative, but definitely possible. Good Luck!
  19. Like I said before, Red Flag laws need to include consequences for false reports, etc. There should also be civil suits available against those reporting to avoid false reports.
