You listed four different options: CR1 - with you being married, as soon as you obtain your visa you have a head start in being able to work when you arrive in the US for good. K1 - looks like a faster option, but the biggest problem is you cannot work without adjusting status and that whole process is going to take quite some time. We chose K1 as the option for us, because it did work, but the inability to work followed by a long hiring process really put a severe strain on our life savings and the situation got pretty terrible as in nearly lost our health insurance. B2 - well you can try, but it's low chances and risky. You've got immigrant intent. VWP - nope. absolutely not. you cannot enter the US with the intent to stay and adjust status. You are certainly free to marry in the US and return home. Ultimately you're going to need to pick a path which enables you to keep your visiting privileges and never overstay your welcome. I know it's going to be hard with a baby coming. You could marry, go home, visit your new spouse off and on (but remember not too close together or overstay), apply for the CR1, continue saving funds for your new life together and once everything is done you are good to go - with a green card that prospective employers will accept.

Personally I think doing due diligence is important in immigration matters. Why should we as citizens count on our government officials to understand their own rules or even do the right thing? Getting extra documentation is like having an insurance policy.

I will always remember this guy in the waiting area when I did my colonoscopy. The nurse asked him how the prep went, and he said "Fine I guess. was something supposed to happen?" Alarmed, the nurse asked him if he had actually gone. "No.. was I supposed to?" Turns out his wife had given him a cough medicine cup filled with the solution 2x and expect that to do something. He had no idea, he never read the instructions, nor did she apparently. My doctor was so amused, but of course had to cancel his procedure for the day.

My dad has had many surgeries for the skin cancers + the Mohs + skin transplants on multiple sites, so I sympathize how much of a pain and painful they are. They are probably going to want to do some more again, but he doesn't want to. Can't get him to use sunscreen either. Good luck to you! Well the 2 stage does work better than the old Miralax prep, which can make all the difference in helping the doctor visually see things that could be missed otherwise. If they could just make it not taste like death, people would be encouraged to do it more.

Helped my husband get through his colonoscopy. He decided to do a three day mini liquid fast to make things easier. I told him how much people hate the prep. He said he'd be just fine. Well, he was pretty much 'over it' midway through his first 16oz. Once you get through the horrific taste the rest is pretty easy, though I did warn about the chills which can be quite severe. I reckon it's because the body thinks it has been poisoned, but I wrapped him in blankets. 4am dose two. Poor guy took a trip on the struggle bus. A long hour of encouragement needed to get the rest of it all down and stay down. Pro tip: ask your doctor if they can give nausea pills. The doctor was running late and I get really annoyed that they don't let spouses come back into the waiting area now. And that was problematic because they had a patient with so much anxiety they needed to spend 20 minutes of soothing (the doctor really is a great guy.. excellent bedside manner), pre drugging for relaxation before the other drugs, and getting their whole family to come back for reassurance anyway. Meanwhile my husband is freaking out alone and mad without his coffee. But like many of the patients the doctor saw yesterday he helped save lives. Had my guy waited until 45 screening age guidelines or when his symptoms got even worse? May have been too late. Precancerous polyps turn into cancer with enough time. The doctor says people are getting them younger and younger these days, so there's no excuse to not get checked if you have any issues at all. It's the patients without symptoms that worry him. Out of the facility and he immediately wants to go get coffee. He's complained about coffee so much the nurses are offering to get him some. He also got a giant sandwich but didn't eat a bite of it before he was fast asleep again. 😅

A white hobo looking nutjob with a knife? Well I don't think he's Amish. https://nypost.com/2025/07/27/us-news/traverse-city-michigan-walmart-stabbing-suspect-idd-as-bradford-james-gille/

He did a very popular and ultimately his final gig a few weeks ago. Raised a lot of money for charity, but in all of it something just didn't sit right with me. Long time fan.. and it was kind of sad to see him sort of wheeled out on stage and sing a few songs while others sang the bulk of the rest of the concert. Maybe that's what he wanted.. or maybe that's what his wife wanted. I don't know. But at some point I felt uncomfortable. People with his condition are vulnerable and deserve to be protected.

TB: Can you try a couple of antique shops to see if you can get any better counter-offers? Most of my grandparent's things were sold off at one of the big auction houses/estate traders, but there are times when I pop into antique stores and I almost swear some of their pieces have been sitting in these shops for years unsold. I have my grandmother's Lane chest and I do see those for sale frequently. The shops mark up quite a bit. Jewelry pieces usually do well.

TB: One thing I always made a point to do was promise my grandfather that I'd find out where he came from. Though he passed well before I had the answers, I stuck with it and now mapped everything out. Then I did the same thing for my husband. Maybe in sitting and listening to stories of the past from your mom, you could document stuff and write it all down. Later on, photos and keepsakes could be added to it. Your son might appreciate it some day. The memorabilia you find is a part of your family history, and it's some of the most precious stuff you have. Memories are irreplaceable keepsakes.. after all. It's not as insignificant as it seems. It sounds like you have done a lot for your mom, more than others would ask of their kids. And yes... there are times we feel guilty that it's never enough, even though we bust our butts to do so and we wonder if that will be us in many more years. My sister often talks about how easy it will be to sort through all the clutter and mess my parents have accumulated when they pass... but I remember knowing how difficult it was when we had to do it for our grandparents. How upsetting it was to find certain family members had taken items without asking or not handled things with care. How they only cared about the monetary value. It sounds like you have a good handle on things and have an invested stake in ensuring it's done right. It can be very overwhelming of course, but keep at it.

Did I mention we finally busted dad out of the old people's jail/nursing home? What a hellish place. It took some doing.. angry phone calls and everything, but we got his doctor to sign him out. Otherwise I think those people were content to keep him there for months laying in filth if they could. The wound is still not healed but supposedly enough time on the drugs had elapsed to clear whatever infections. He *says* he's going to follow doctor's instructions about getting up and moving this time... but he always *says* that. I've not yet seen any evidence of compliance. Since things had settled a bit, after much pleading, I took my husband to see a GI specialist. He's been complaining for years about his stomach and putting it off because he's scared about family history. He's missed most of his competitive races this year because of it. And this is where I warn you men to please don't ever delay getting checked out, either scans or a colonoscopy. He's reached the point where the condition is really affecting him and the doctor explained that surgery could be a possibility based on what he finds. The vet offered us another dog again. It kills me inside to say no.. but we just can't right now. Most of his stuff is still laying around and I've yet worked up the courage to pack it away. Every time I do, something comes up to take my attention away from it and so I take it as a sign that I'm just not ready yet.

Ah yes, for some reason I was thinking of the fiance to spouse process and not the spouse process. Still it seems silly why you'd want to pursue that course of action if the goal is to be eventually living in the US together. Typically if you had the spousal visa you'd want to live there long enough to get ILR and not rip up that process.

Please understand that to obtain a UK spousal visa is a multi-stage multi-year process, in which she is your sole sponsor. You will not be able to work, and the amount of money she would have to prove to be making to sponsor you is fairly high. It sounds as if she is in university, so that might not be an option to even begin with. Spousal visas are for living in the UK, which is not the ultimate plan you intend. Some have the impression that everything is rather easy and unobstructive crossing the UK border, but there are limits which shouldn't be abused. Stick with one process and see it through. If the goal is to both reside in the US, stick with the US side of things.

Well... what do you think? Complete negligence from the pilot/copilot? Intentional hostile act? https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/ai171-investigation-fuel-control-switches/ Both possibilities are so strange but terrifying...

I still very much love that game. It's simple. Build stuff and try not to die. But what we used to do was turn on settings to have an empty 'canvas' and take the blueprints and layouts to different castles we'd visited in real life and recreate them in the game. It's amazing what you can make.

It'd be great if parents could make an effort to understand and maybe even join in with their children's hobbies. You never know where the journey might take you. Afterall, if this 69 year old skeptic could master one of the hardest games ever created, I'd say most parents have a chance at bonding and learning something new. https://fandomwire.com/this-youtubers-dad-thought-video-games-were-a-waste-until-he-beat-dark-souls-at-69/
