Here is a good thread detailing a lot of the steps required for DCF. This was done in Japan and was related to an imminent job relocation, but it may still be helpful. Good Luck!

This whole ordeal will definitely become a case study in business schools as to how to blow up a brand.

Sums it up pretty well. Two Sets of Laws for Two Americas So far Joe Biden seems exempt from just such legal jeopardy. But as a senator and Vice President with no right, as does a president, to declassify files, Biden removed and, as a private citizen kept for years classified files in unsecure locations. Biden’s team strangely revealed the unlawful removals after years of silence. It did so because the Biden administration found itself in the untenable position of prosecuting the former president for “crimes” that the current president committed as well—albeit far earlier and longer. https://amgreatness.com/2023/08/03/two-sets-of-laws-for-two-americas/

Why are Democrats so worried about Cornel West? Democrats fear third-party candidate Cornel West could weaken Biden in 2024 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrats-fear-cornel-west-could-weaken-biden-2024

With Goldman as the Democrat shill, it is not hard to debate the corruption. Heck, half the time, Goldman proves it himself.

No doubt, but it will be tough. The powers that be in DC are angling to make sure Trump wins the GOP primary as they know he is their best chance to retain power.

You can always try to get the consulate to accept the I130. I am not sure if they would determine your situation to be a medical emergency, but they may. I would provide as much information as possible as to the dates of the upcoming appointments you need to meet and Dr. Notes verifying the procedures, etc. Good Luck!

Correction, apparently this occurred in the People’s Republic of California. https://nypost.com/2023/08/02/7-eleven-workers-beat-cali-thief-for-stealing-shelves-of-tobacco/

I can still remember in elementary school when the teacher brought in an incubator with a 60 watt (I think) bulb to incubate some chicken eggs.

Unintended consequences? I guess if you get screwed by the ballot box, you vote with your feet. Oregon county lost $1 billion in 2020 as residents fled crime, homelessness: 'It's like Portland died' Multnomah County, where Portland, Oregon, is located, reportedly lost more than $1 billion in income between 2020 and 2021 as a result of residents fleeing the state amid surging crime, homelessness and safety concerns. Data analysis conducted by Oregon Live showed that 14,257 tax filers and their dependents left Multnomah County during the first year of the pandemic in 2020 and took a record $1 billion of income with them. The data showed that higher earners were more likely to leave since their jobs could be done remotely during coronavirus shutdowns, and the average income of people leaving was 14% higher than people who left the year before. https://www.foxnews.com/us/oregon-county-lost-1-billion-2020-residents-fled-crime-homelessness-its-like-portland-died

I agree, the GC is valid for travel. Good Luck!

From an IT perspective, I would try logging out, clearing cookies, and re-booting.

If you as the USC are planning to repatriate to the US for a job or for some other reason mostly outside of your control you can explore DCF. If this is not the case, file the I130 online about 2 years or so before you plan to relocate to the US. He can still use the B2 visa he has to visit or vacation, but you can stay living together in Turkey until you get close to him having a spousal visa interview, then you will have to make plans for your relocation. Good Luck!

Seems to deal more with the upcoming election than anything else, so posting it here. I must say, this was written by a complete pompous a--. I have never read such elitist garbage in a very long time. I hope David Brooks never needs an actual person to say change their thermostat, or service their car. The answer to the headline question is yes, you are the problem, and it is not "progress", it is regress. What if We’re the Bad Guys Here? We anti-Trumpers often tell a story to explain that. It was encapsulated in a quote the University of North Carolina political scientist Marc Hetherington gave to my colleague Thomas B. Edsall recently: “Republicans see a world changing around them uncomfortably fast, and they want it to slow down, maybe even take a step backward. But if you are a person of color, a woman who values gender equality or an L.G.B.T. person, would you want to go back to 1963? I doubt it.” In this story we anti-Trumpers are the good guys, the forces of progress and enlightenment. The Trumpers are reactionary bigots and authoritarians. Many Republicans support Trump no matter what, according to this story, because at the end of the day he’s still the bigot in chief, the embodiment of their resentments, and that’s what matters to them most. I partly agree with this story; but it’s also a monument to elite self-satisfaction. https://dnyuz.com/2023/08/02/what-if-were-the-bad-guys-here/

Wasn't there some level of social media outrage when she lost some weight (memory is cloudy)?

I realize you are talking to yourself, but you do not get it. Based on my reading you are fine to start a thread about Trump that does not deal with the legal issues the MSM wants to promote, but threads dealing with what the vaunted Jack Smith, or any other Trump prosecution issues (NYC, GA, etc.) belong in one place.

Ultra-Leftist virtue signaling. Progress? Sanctuary cities were always a fraud I got my first taste of this species of virtue signaling back in the 1980s, when I briefly lived in Amherst Massachusetts. The issue wasn’t immigration, but nuclear weapons, but the virtue signaling was of exactly the same type. Amherst, you see, declared itself a “nuclear-free” zone. Examples of idiotic liberal virtue signaling are as common as ants at a picnic, and the particular idiocy of the 1980s was the anti-nuclear movement that focused on freezing nuclear weapons production. The useful idiots believed that passing an ordinance against nuclear weapons in their municipalities would make the world a more peaceful place, and proudly put up signs informing everyone that they disagreed with Ronald Reagan’s military buildup. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2023/08/03/sanctuary-cities-were-always-a-fraud-n568704

I am sure Biden will lift the moratorium on the Federal death penalty for this.

Not much uniting going on under Old Corrupt Joe.

Correct. We tend to describe it to others as dual citizenship, but in reality, Russia only recognizes my wife as their citizen, and similar for the US, but neither requires one to give up any other citizenships so my wife has two passports. And like Ukraine, it is a real pain to change a last name in a Russian passport. Good Luck!

Similar situation in Russia, though when entering Russia, my wife presents both passports and she does not have any issues (maybe a 5 minute wait the first time). Good Luck!

The inevitable response. Now this is progress. I suspect soft-on-crime Bragg (or the prosecutor where it happened as it was not clear if in Manhattan or another borough) will prosecute these two to the fullest extent of the law.

I agree with @Redro, it is cleaner to have your brother fill out the I864 with an I864A from his spouse.

Progress? Personally I think all this D.I.E. stuff is teetering on the edge at least in the business world, but I guess not so much in the University system. California universities have found a way to circumvent the state's long-held affirmative action laws Many applications for the University of California school system’s faculty jobs include submitting a statement of allegiance to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to be considered, despite the fact that race-based employment and admissions policies at public universities have been outlawed in the state since 1996. UC Santa Cruz, UC Irvine, and UC Berkeley’s point system for evaluating potential employees prefer applicants with “clear knowledge of … dimensions of diversity that result from different identities,” a “consistent track record” in advancing DEI, and experiences in aiding “underrepresented individuals.” Despite state laws against affirmative action at public universities and other state institutions, diversity statement requirements can serve as a way to manipulate the racial makeup of a hiring pool, without directly discriminating based on race. UC's own research shows this. Data from UC Berkeley shows that using DEI statements in applicant screening reliably results in fewer Asian American and White applicants being shortlisted for hiring. In fact, since aggressively employing these practices in faculty hiring, the university has seen a notable increase in Black and Hispanic hires, and a decrease in White and Asian hires. https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=23700

I would really love to talk to those that are fine with bribery? I suspect most of those are either elected leaders or bureaucrats.
