Daily Update on Biden Tanking America (Part 2)
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
This is key. Seems to be the plan all along with this pier. "In a few months, we'll probably see thousands of Palestinians boarding ships bound for America that are tied up at the new $370 million dock we just built." https://www.theamericanconservative.com/coming-to-america-what-if-that-gaza-pier-is-a-two-way-street/ -
Apparently there are some folks in Iran that are not mourning properly. Btw, how many virgins does one get when they end up in the bad place? Iranians CELEBRATE the death of President Raisi with fireworks while victims of his torturous regime and their loved ones dance and drink a toast to his fatal helicopter crash Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has declared the nation will observe five days of mourning following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a devastating helicopter crash in the mountainous northwest of the country yesterday. But there are plenty of Iranians who are instead celebrating the unexpected death of the president, who has earned a reputation as a brutal, hardline executor of Khamenei's will. The daughters of Minoo Majidi - a 62-year-old Iranian woman who was one of hundreds of people shot dead by security services during the nationwide fallout following the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022 - shared a video to social media raising a glass to the president's demise. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13438055/Iranians-CELEBRATE-death-Presdent-Raisi-victims-torturous-regime-loved-ones-dancing-drinking-toast-fatal-helicopter-crash.html

Name change AFTER Green Card?
Dashinka replied to Zin-Zin's topic in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America
This should be helpful. Essentially she will need to file an I90, pay the fee and provide a copy of the marriage certificate. Others may know better, but I believe it is best to update the GC first, then she can look at other items like the DL, etc. Good Luck! https://www.uscis.gov/tools/uscis-tools-and-resources/information-about-your-immigration-document/updating-or-correcting-your-documents -
Interesting study. New Study: Trans Suicide Rates Double After Gender Surgery Agroundbreaking study has brought to light alarming findings regarding the mental health of transgender individuals who have undergone genital surgery. The research, which investigated the rates of psychiatric emergencies and suicide attempts before and after gender-affirming surgery, has uncovered a disturbing trend that demands immediate attention and action. The study’s results shed light on the complex challenges faced by the transgender community and the urgent need for comprehensive mental health support throughout the transition process. One of the most shocking revelations from the study is the dramatic increase in suicide attempt rates following vaginoplasty. The research found that the overall rates of suicide attempts doubled from 1.5% to 3.3% (p=0.017) after this particular gender-affirming surgery. This finding highlights the immense psychological toll that the transition process can take on individuals and the critical importance of providing ongoing mental health support. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/new-study-transgender-suicide-rates-double-after-gender-surgery/ar-BB1jMREb https://www.auajournals.org/doi/epdf/10.1097/JU.0000000000001971.20

CR-1/IR-1 visa process cost
Dashinka replied to moon15's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures
I would only add in the "Other Fees" row translation services. Good Luck! -
n400 withdraw form that we didn't request
Dashinka replied to Hmmehanna's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
Did she submit the form immediately upon the window for filing opening? Others have had issues with the online system when they submit minutes after the window opens, but the IO should have indicated that at the interview. Otherwise, I would be calling USCIS and requesting "Infopass" and try to get a Tier 2. Also, the notice should show up online at some point in the near future. Additionally, it could be a glitch where an IO simply made the wrong selection in their system. Good Luck! -
Removal Proceedings
Dashinka replied to cshall2024's topic in General Immigration-Related Discussion
I think this is in the context of someone just looking at possibly getting a GC through you. Of course we do not know her or you, hence the advice to be careful. Good Luck! -
The co-sponsor needs needs to fill out one I864, and if the co-sponsor is married, they should probably have their spouse fill out an I864A as many consulates request that. Your friend will also need to fill out their own I864 even though she is using a co-sponsor. I believe the I864(s) and evidence of ongoing relationship, but others may know more. Depends on the consulate and their backlog of work. Good Luck with your friend.

Travel before oath ceremony
Dashinka replied to stephbd's topic in US Citizenship General Discussion
That is my memory from when my wife naturalized. In her case it was travel between when she submitted the N400 and the interview, and the IO only asked for dates and destinations and did not seek any evidence. She was asked again at the oath ceremony, but she had not traveled between the interview and oath. Congrats on finishing! -
Notice after I-751 approval
Dashinka replied to maraikawamoto's topic in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion
My wife continued to receive notices after she completed naturalization. You did request the notice be resent, so if you naturalize, you will have it, but overall, you should be fine. Good Luck! -
The CBP officer will make the ultimate decision as to the length of stay, so I would keep travel plans flexible in case they only allow 2-3 months of stay. I could not find any guidance after briefly reviewing the CBP website, so maybe they will get 6 months, maybe not. I also could not find any relevant posts here on VJ, but someone may have some experience. Good Luck!

The worst fast food restaurants in America
Dashinka replied to TBoneTX's topic in Current Events and Hot Social Topics
Interesting article, why are they focused on the negative instead of highlighting the positive? -
I know a lot of folks that get sick in ICE vehicles as well. Honestly, I was driving on a test trip going down from a pass with a lot of switchbacks using just the transmission low gears to regulate the speed, and the test engineer in the back blew chunks when we finally stopped. We laughed a lot. That being said, the one pedal driving is a bit funky to get used to, but it does help save the brake pads when stopping a very heavy vehicle. Also, it can be shut off at least in the EVs I drove.

Greedy corporations…. Wholesale inflation surges again, PPI shows, leaving Inflation still sticky The numbers: U.S. wholesale prices jumped 0.5% in April in another sign of sticky inflation. Economists polled by the Wall Street Journal had forecast a smaller 0.3% increase in the producer price index. Wholesale costs often foretell future inflation trends. The increase in wholesale prices over the past 12 months rose to 2.2% in April from 1.8% in the prior month and hit the highest level in a year. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/wholesale-inflation-surges-again-ppi-shows-inflation-still-sticky/ar-BB1mmOr4?ocid=BingNewsSearch -
Maybe this guy can give us an example. UCL Professor's Controversial Tweet on Pandemic-Driven Population 'Culling' Sparks Outrage In his controversial tweet, McGuire stated: "If I am brutally honest, the only realistic way I see emissions falling as fast as they need to, to avoid catastrophic climate breakdown, is the culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate." The tweet was deleted a few hours later, but McGuire showed no regrets for his statement. The incident has raised concerns about the professor's views on humanity, despite his reputation as a well-known expert in his field. McGuire later clarified that he meant a socio-economic shock to slash economic activity could reduce emissions, not an actual culling of the population. However, the damage was already done, with widespread condemnation of his initial statement. https://tr.im/world/united-kingdom/ucl-professors-controversial-tweet-on-pandemic-driven-population-culling-sparks-outrage

Why would anyone want to actually spend tourist money in NYC? Times Square tourist mom, 36, stabbed by maniac was leading school trip to NYC: ‘Don’t feel safe there’ The tourist mom stabbed in the chest by a knife wielding maniac in Times Square in broad daylight on Saturday was chaperoning a group of school girls on a class trip when she was attacked — and her family has no plans to visit the city again. “We don’t feel safe there,” the victim’s husband, John Lohr, told The Post. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/times-square-tourist-mom-36-stabbed-by-maniac-was-leading-school-trip-to-nyc-don-t-feel-safe-there/ar-BB1mkCnS
