OMG, these are some of the worst answers I could even imagine. First, @MMRF, quit believing everything you see on the news. 
 
I want to be an American because I desire to have the freedoms set forth in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution that many other countries just don't offer. I want to have the ability to achieve the American dream and the ability to be successful in that endeavor. I want to participate in my civic responsibilities, as an American, to make a better future for myself, my family, and all Americans.   
 

First, "Trump's changes" for legal immigration processes so far just seem to be actually following the laws on the books that seem to have been very loosely or not followed at all by previous administrations, by both Democrats and Republicans. Second, if I had a nickel for every lawyer who has given me bad advice, both personally and online, I would be laying on my yacht in the South Pacific asking the steward for my next margarita. Third, "some weird people online" .... almost everyone online is weird and are looking to say the most outrageous things to get clicks, likes and views, which eventually is monetized content for them. Now, will the government shutdown cause some delays, maybe. However, this process is funded by all the fees we pay, so I don't believe it will come to an absolute standstill.

I finally had my interview scheduled this morning for 11/18/25 in Fort Myers. 

If you have a joint sponsor willing, then I recommend doing it in advance. If you have a reluctant but willing joint sponsor and try without one, then go to the interview, get the 221g (if they give you one) and submit the joint sponsor's information; realize though that this can add an additional 2-3 months or more.

Thank you for your response. This aligns with what everyone is saying.. except my lawyer lol.
 
we will get a joint sponsor documents submitted before the interview. With or without our lawyer’s approval.

Maryland.  San Francisco.  Honolulu.  Pennsylvania.  DIdn't know how to use a gun.

Sounds pretty hard core democrat to me.  

Yes, but the $330 is only if you actually are awarded correct? An application fee could be some big money. If you're saying $170 to apply and then $330 additional if you actually win, count me in! I like that idea. 

Yeah, but if you think about how many applications they receive every year it's some pretty decent bank - 11.8 million applications for 2021. Yes, I know $11.8 million in government terms is not much but maybe it's this type of thinking that needs to be fixed. 

Excellent point. Now, we just need to implement an additional $5000 "adjustment of status fee" so maybe people will stop changing their intent at baggage claim. 😝

Looked up address, it's the Cloud One hotel in NY. In addition to the inaccuracies, my concern would also be if this same agency uses that address for every single client, I would think the COs would start to get a bit suspicious.

Pretty sure Charlie Kirk was the target.
 
What he brought to the table was the youth vote. Prior to him and TPUSA, Democrats could rely on the youth vote overwhelmingly siding with them. The university campus engagement that he and TPUSA managed to achieve, in spite of the anti-Free Speech objections, is a major factor in the youth vote shifting rightward, in the last election especially.
 
He didn’t bring conflict, he brought debate. And once you start listening and debating, regardless of your viewpoint, you start bringing universities back to being a place of ideas, as opposed to indoctrination. That’s dangerous to those who rely on indoctrination to breed conformity. And when you are not able to silence those ideas with words, alternative solutions become your only option.
 
The question now is who, if anyone, can and will continue what he was doing? This assassination will inevitably chill this type of outreach. Knowing there might be a gunman with a high-powered rifle at an event is a powerful disincentive to a prospective speaker. But this attack can not be allowed to defeat open and honest discourse in this country. If it does, then we are already way down the road to more violence. ☠️

The Left in the U.S. …
 
No room for genuine political discourse for fear of reality creeping in to their worldview and countering the narrative.
 
The only recourse that remains open to these radicals is violence, and the knowledge that the media will spin faster than a centrifuge to justify its righteousness.
 
”The shooter might have been a supporter shooting off their gun in celebration”. MSNBC
 
There are some truly sick people associated with the Mainstream Media Machine. 🤮

Just look at the reactions of the Democrats/left/MSM out there after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  This shows how far the Democrats will go and why they are being rejected by a lot of common sense people.

OK, as i suspected, the typical accuracy of government timelines we've all come to know and love. 

Not a really great analogy, as if a speeding driver is caught, then they face the consequences.  The analogy some wanted here is the police letting the speeding driver go without any consequences.  Certainly the pendulum has swung from our wide open borders, to a more controlled system, and officers are now actually enforcing the laws.  Not really sure that is a bad thing.

I'm just gonna ask here. How on Earth does someone, or multiple people in this case, apply for a tourist visa and then wait 6, 8, 10 months for an interview to "escape some fear of threat from their government, etc.," get approved for a tourist visa and then claim "asylum?" 
 
As a side note here, my Peruvian wife has been watching the case of the Peruvian with the food truck that was recently put in "Alligator Alcatraz," who apparently is also claiming "asylum" and I'm sorry, I lived in Peru for 12 years and there is no more danger (probably less actually), than living in Chicago. Even many Peruvians think this is fraud.
