SSN should be obtained first, before marriage to save a host of problems that can crop up. But you could also literally apply for the license before or on the same day. SSN is not required for the foreign fiance to get marriage license. If I recall correctly we went to the SSA, court clerk for license, and the bank all on the same day.

After citizenship is done and you have a passport? My husband and I recently went through boxes and boxes of stuff. First we made sure to scan everything, including old evidences, official documents, official correspondence, NOAs, and anything pertinent to the case history. We made many digital copies and labeled them thoroughly. Once that was done we only saved official items/correspondences/NOAs, and important documents. That came to a small stack of papers and we put that into a safe. It's weird how some stuff is hard to let go, but it brought back some memories.

He did. It was cancer. (I am probably a terrible person for that joke). Truly my fondest memory of OJ was from Naked Gun.

Today might be the perfect day to head over to youtube and watch Norm MacDonald's greatest OJ jokes.

Hi OP: I know it's confusing. I think several of us here have given us the best advice we can, and I've personally been through it with my husband. Again: A DTP, TdaP, TD, etc will all suffice. You cannot get a single pertussis shot for men in the UK. That is not what the instructions are implying, even if they are confusing. Knightsbridge will give the missing shot required, if you pay for it. As you can see on the visa medical's site. It is £70. I understand there's confusion about polio. Where polio might not be offered in a combo shot in the states, in the UK it is, as the other poster I linked to mentioned as "Revaxis". That will not be what Knightsbridge will give. For years on this forum there is always confusion about the P for polio vs the P for pertussis, and ultimately it won't matter. What shots I mentioned above will be the shots accepted. If it were a problem to you and your future spouse, he could easily get a single shot for pertussis in the US from any pharmacy and simply get his vaccines recertified for AOS purposes. I don't recommend that unless there is a general health concern, afterall pertussis is increasingly becoming a problem globally. It is still a moot point, because Knightsbridge can give the missing shot (DTP) needed. Btw, he will get no assistance from the embassy about this. It's not their wheelhouse. It's Knightsbridge. Furthermore my husband went to his doctor before his Knightsbridge visit, gave them the list of shots needed and got them. I can't tell you if the DTP or Tdap he received actually was the formulation that Knightsbridge believes it to be, but it was accepted by Knightsbridge and that's all that matters. We also had those same results recertified by a US civil surgeon because of an AOS RFE (that was in error) and it was also just fine. I know it's a confusing, scary, annoying, frustrating process - but do not be concerned about it. Make sure your guy gets the shot at Knightsbridge. Don't leave there without it.

Adults, unless you are female, don't get a straight whooping cough vaccine in the UK. But anyone can get the accepted vaccine of DTP, Tdap, DtaP, or TD. If doctor is being a pain about it, Knightsbridge will be more than happy with $$s.

Knightsbridge will give out the required vaccination if you are willing to pay for it. If you do not, you can get it stateside at any doctor or pharmacy, keep receipt of it, and get your vaccines all recertified at US civil surgeon. However as Nik had originally stated, TD, Tdap, DTP, OR DtaP all get accepted too. My husband sure as heck didn't chase down a doctor and argue the finer points of pertussis - he just got a Tdap. No one had an issue about that. DTP from Knightsbridge runs about £70 I think. https://visamedicals.co.uk/united-states/ Also check this post from 2022

Hi as was posted long ago in this thread: Its a little out of date now but some info still applies. What fiancé needs to get is a Td or Tdap to be covered. Make sure you have a record of receiving it along with anything else required. If you'd really like him to get a pertussis vaccine, that can be done stateside, just for his own health, but Knightbridge will be good with Td or Tdap. If you have not received the required vaccines before going to Knightbridge or do not intend to receive the vaccines at Knightsbridge appointment, then everything you get afterwards will have to be recertified by a US civil surgeon when you file AOS after marriage.

That's hilarious. I'm guessing the cycle stuff has something to do with the old myth of women's cycles and moon phases and a great deal of attention seeking. If a woman generally has something happening every 28-32 days there's going to be an eclipse somewhere in the world eventually coinciding mathematically. Anxiety stuff? Well the amount of "world's gonna end!" nonsense I've heard from some people would be enough to generate anxiety in plenty. I would imagine that there would be some people with mental issues or sundown syndrome to be affected.

I keep my dog inside, as he's dumb/blind enough to look right at the sun. These days I stick goggles on him, but still he's just fine today - happily snoozing by my side. He was a bit reactive to the earthquake the other day though. I will say that there were plenty of birds making noise earlier, but when it started they all went silent. The woodchuck was also poking around but quickly went back into his den. It's a partly cloudy day so that hasn't helped but.. otherwise it got mildly dark, the color it would be if there was a strong storm on the horizon. The sun is coming back out so I'm assuming it's almost over.

OP: Ultimately you need to figure out what you want to do with this relationship. Unfortunately you've lost your VWP privileges and I think a B2 is kind of iffy. I mean you can certainly pay the money and try, just don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen. So that's why you need to consider a backup long term plan for the future. Your USC boyfriend can go visit you, and eventually you will need to decide if you want him to immigrate to you, or you to him. Your previous loss of VWP will not affect if you want to use a K1 fiancé visa or marriage visa. The immigration officers do not care if you have a cat even though I'm sure you love it very much.

A true delicacy to eat in this state. I don't think we will see them up in these parts, but we always see some stragglers every year along with the annual ones. I'm excited for the next big brood.. love those things.

I think a lot of people in the UK are accustomed to go to school, either by walking or on public transport. But there is a big difference between a child finding their way in many locations in the UK as completely normal vs places in the US. There is a different cultural mindset as well. In general, places in the UK feel safer to me, even if such a feeling may be overrepresented or not 100% accurate. If there was a different public perception in the UK of safety vs harm risk things may be different. My husband would not choose to let his kids do the same things he was accustomed to as a kid even in the UK (he was assaulted and robbed in the UK as a child). You would agree that in many areas of the US there is a higher chance for a kid to be assaulted, harmed, taken, shot, stabbed, or robbed. The 7 year old in the story was told not to talk to strangers but could not distinguish from strangers trying to help him (which is not his fault and is why a child that young doesn't have that kind of discernment), but was not taught to not run off from his siblings nor his siblings taught to keep an eye on him. The homeschooling parents also seem to have the inability to watch him. We can likely agree that when we were kids there were things we did that were thought of as safe, or not thought of at all, that likely are risky now. And every day there are kids who are walking through dangerous areas of their neighborhoods from school to get home - does that make it right though?

I cannot answer about sports betting. However, do you have a bank account and credit card? If you do you can add her jointly to those accounts. Getting an SSN beforehand is helpful in doing so.

Your options: Ensure fiancé has their SSN or you may have a hard time. 1)Find a plan through the affordable care act's marketplace (either state or federal marketplace whichever is available). If using this option you will need to also have the NOA1 for Adjustment of Status as an immigration qualifier. 2)Buy a plan out of pocket through any insurer available in your state. 3)Wait until new spouse is employed at a job that offers insurance. 4)Get off your parents insurance and use any of the above options including finding insurance via an employer to have a joint plan. Any of the above does not mean that those plans will be 'inexpensive'. Cheaper does not equal better quality insurance either, when shopping for insurance you will have to compare quality of the plan offered vs cost. The third option is not ideal as who knows when the spouse will be work authorized and then be employed. Immigrating to a new country and marriage are QLE (qualifying life events) which make a person eligible to use the marketplace outside of open enrollment. You will need to explore qualifying documents required. For me, I chose to buy a joint plan out of pocket with an insurer and used that until my husband was employed and offered us coverage which was far better. However that was a long wait and was quite expensive. How affordable it will be for you will be based on a variety of factors unique to you and your state.

I've been thinking a lot about this article ever since it popped up and it's just nuts. At first I thought it was going to be about kids using phones to goof off in class but no... it turns out it's the parents being all insane. This is not a healthy way to raise a child, nor is it a healthy state for a parent to be in either.

An odd one from Slate but a lot of schools are now going for cellphone free policies - either taking phones from kids or locking them in lockers for the day. Our local schools are planning to do this and it's causing a lot of uproar in parents who want 24/7 access, and some kids that are scared something bad will happen and will be unable to call their parents. But there are other reasons parents are demanding all sorts of uses for cellphones in class. Some notable snippets:

So, I'm of two minds about this. I was also a child that was frequently left unattended. Not out of any wanting their child to be independent or anything, but because there were periods of neglect in my life. I was left alone in cars and the house for hours. My siblings report a similar experience. Thankfully no one got into trouble, but we all had situations where we very much wished we had guidance and safety our parents hopefully could have provided. I have often told stories where tiny me balanced on a step stool over a gas stove around age 5 or 6 completely unattended. I would be left unattended outside my city home nearly every day and to be fair many city kids would have long walks off the bus.. and sometimes things would happen to them. My sister tells the story of being left in a car for hours, with no parents in sight and needing to go to the bathroom badly - so she ventured out and was helped by a kind but very concerned stranger. These days the cops would be called, and I don't blame them. I would never do that to my children. When I spent a good deal of time watching over my nieces/nephew I went with them everywhere and paid close attention to what they were doing. I'd never in my right mind dream of letting a 7 year old wander wherever he wanted because I remember being put into such a situation. I do recall my nephew's mother letting his father watch him around that age (I say 'let him' because he's not very reliable in that regard) and before you knew it he managed to wander through the streets to a bodega for food. Mom and Dad panicked of course when they couldn't find him. He was okay, grandpa found him safe and sound, but a little scared. My point here is the article frames these parents as just fine, and maybe they are, but we are no judge of that. These kids are all supposedly homeschooled, which means there's some parent that *should* be watching them at all times... but yet, aren't. Why? We don't know, but gone are the days where I think kids are safe to wander. I don't really think there was a time when kids were safe to wander. My dad will laud the times when he routinely skipped school and spent hours doing whatever he pleased and that included getting into 'trouble' as if it was some golden era of safety. I don't think he was necessarily safe, and if anything he was the one making others not safe. Having kids is a big responsibility and imo many problems we have today is because generations of parents have really screwed up that responsibility. Some parents overcompensate by being complete disaster case helicopters (I meant to post an article about helicopter parents, cellphones and school systems) and others just seem like they don't care.

I am not a democrat though? At any rate that has no bearing paying our taxes and on receiving a refund, which is the question that was asked as the subject of this thread. I know many republicans that also received refunds and have always received them.

Maritime law is complicated and weird. The company that owns the boat is responsible for whomever is piloting it no matter if it is a different pilot I think. Isn't that kind of like some state car insurance rules where the insurance follows the car and not the driver (that is how it is in this state)? In the incident where Ever Forward ran aground due to both pilot's negligence it was the owner of the ship that agreed to pay the state roughly $700,000 in damages. This is probably not the actual cost of the damage they caused, but it was the best we could get because it would have been too expensive to litigate. That money didn't actually go toward the habitat it destroyed, and there was a political fight which county was going to receive that money to build a new habitat. I have heard that the Dali's bow is currently stuck on the bottom of the river, but also on top of a gas line and potentially some sort of water supply structure.

Not sure what you're implying or what that has to do with receiving a refund, nor do I know what "super liberal" means.

The company has already filed paperwork to attempt to get out of paying for very much. I think we really need to overhaul our maritime laws. We managed to open a small channel today but it's not very deep. At least it was enough a few things were tugged through it.

We have always gotten a refund and this year is no different.

Updating your DL at the MVA and updating your SSN will require going in with the original certificate, but no other process except the passport to be mailed in that I can think of.

Some info from last night: Substance is leaking into river. There are 764 tons of hazardous material on board and some has also leaked. Conditions considered hazardous. Items washing onshore yesterday. Two bodies of the men recovered yesterday, further bodies are likely crushed beneath the concrete which was smashed through several decks of the ship. One vehicle is dangling from the wreckage. Legislature is considering bill that would pay port workers, but there are not many days left for our session. Key Bridge was on a list of potential bridges that would catastrophically collapse if struck. There are similar concerns about the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (which many people are so scared of they won't drive over). In Delaware last year such ship strike measures were taken to put 'dolphin cylinders' at the piers. It cost $93 million with a $22 million federal grant. Unlikely our state would ever afford that, and the cost would be even greater for our numerous bridges built in this way. The previous governor left our transportation fund nearly drained which has led to discussions of how the new governor would replenish this fund - arguments about higher taxes and tolls have been ongoing.
