    OK, I'll bite. 
     
    I hate nationalism. That doesn't mean I hate any particular country. Nuance is needed. 
     
    I love all countries in the world and I think they're equally important. Neither the US, nor my home country is more important than other countries. 
     
    This will be my last post in this thread.

    😂😂😂😂 Trump sure did. Most definitely. And the truly tragic thing about foreign intervention is the local civilian deaths and destruction. But this is a post to celebrate the removal of a dangerous president, let's enjoy this for now. 
    Who else is celebrating?

    Biden to immediately roll back Trump policies on wall, climate, health, Muslims
     
    The actions include a mask mandate on federal property and for federal employees, an order to establish a new White House office coordinating response to the coronavirus, and halting the process of withdrawing from the World Health Organization.
      Biden will also begin the process of re-entering the Paris climate accord and issue a sweeping order tackling climate change, including revoking the presidential permit granted to the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline.
    Among a raft of orders addressing immigration, Biden will revoke Trump’s emergency declaration that helped fund the construction of a border wall and end a travel ban on some majority-Muslim countries.

    This is a thread to discuss how Biden and his cabinet are helping America recover from the disastrous 4 years of the previous administration. Criticism is obviously allowed, we all need to hold our leaders accountable and expect better from them, this is just focused on the positive. Also, it would be great if we focus on specific policies and actions, not conspiracy theories.

    Was the I-129F petition already approved? Just that first step can take many months.
     
    K-1 is dual intent visa. There is no obligation to Adjust status. You can marry and leave the US within the allotted 90 days. And then (when ready) start IR-1/CR-1 process.
    You should look up INA 319(b) and the associated section of the USCIS Policy Manual: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-g-chapter-4 "the spouse of the U.S. citizen employed abroad may naturalize if his or her U.S. citizen’s qualifying employment abroad is scheduled to last for at least one year at the time of filing, even if less than one year of such employment remains at the time of the naturalization interview or Oath of Allegiance provided that the spouse remains employed abroad at the time of naturalization." "Spouses of U.S. citizens who are regularly stationed abroad under qualifying employment may be eligible to file for naturalization immediately after obtaining LPR status in the United States. Such spouses are not required to have any prior period of residence or specified period of physical presence within the United States in order to qualify for naturalization."
     
    Can even skip ROC in that case:

    Step one: I am going to enjoy the inauguration. Aside from the Superbowl halftime, we don't have a lot of ceremonies in this country.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A dozen members of the U.S. National Guard have been removed from duty helping secure the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden after vetting, which included screening for potential ties to right-wing extremism, Pentagon officials said on Tuesday.

    I agree with your sentiment, the American First idea is in contrast to the Donald Trump wins again thread that appears to go on for four years.
    I don't want a Biden wins again because it is not about a leader winning.
     
    It's not about American exceptionalism, it's about beating the virus, helping small business and economic strained families, getting started on a transformation to a green economy.
     
    If you can come up with a better thread theme, I will support it!.

    I appreciate the idea of this thread but "America first" sounds like a right wing, nationalist slogan and I squirm at hearing it. Especially since one of the reasons for rooting for Biden was him doing something about climate change and rejoining the WHO, which is about helping other countries, not putting America first. So all the lesties that don't mind nationalist slogans, enjoy this thread, I'll be out

    The OP is adjusting status.......not entering the US with an immigrant visa.  A 10 year card will be issued if the Green Card is approved after 2 years of marriage.

    Hi everyone! I’m also a WAC case. I filed on Oct 28th, haven’t gotten biometrics letter at all yet. BUT today I just got an email notification about my case being transferred to another office. I will get letter in the mail soon so I hope everything’s ok. It’s just weird to me that my Biometrics haven’t been processed and my case was still transferred.
