I was browsing You Tube and I see that there is a "Live" Trump speech, which apparently is not really "Live", as it is about 0830 Eastern time and one of the commenters says it was 4 days ago. See underneath this screenshot. Look at the garbage posted underneath the video by "CNN-News18"! https://www.youtube.com/live/tDYqcqlaBcI?feature=share 1,437 watching now Started streaming on May 26, 2023 #trumpnews #cnnnews18live #donaldtrump DISCLAIMER: This video may contain allegations that are factually questionable or cannot be independently confirmed by CNN News18.

Donald Trump Election Speech | Trump Targets Joe & Hunter Biden | Trump: 'DeSantis No Match For Me' DISCLAIMER: This video may contain allegations that are factually questionable or cannot be independently confirmed by CNN News18. Former President and 2024 Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump delivered remarks at a campaign event in Manchester, NH. During his speech, he said that he would retire using his “Crooked Hillary” moniker for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and talked about what he saw as failures of the Biden Administration. After his remarks, the former president took a few questions from the audience. This was his first public campaign event in New Hampshire, which was slated to hold the first GOP presidential primary in 2024, since he announced his campaign shortly after the 2022 midterms. In New York, the woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her decades ago sat on the stand for a second day. In Washington, former Vice President Mike Pence testified before a federal grand jury, part of the special counsel investigation into the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. But in Manchester, hundreds of miles away, those legal troubles were far from the focus as Trump spent more than an hour on Thursday riling up his faithful over the economy, international trade tariffs and his newly nicknamed adversary —“Crooked Joe” Biden — in a key early state ahead of next year’s presidential election. The former president’s polling lead over his 2024 Republican rivals has grown as his legal morass deepens. A recurring joke he made again Thursday about being served a subpoena if he so much as flies over a Democratic-leaning state drew laughs and applause from those attending. Trump supporters at his campaign rally in downtown Manchester were unfazed by the latest developments in his legal woes, accusing Democrats of weaponizing the judicial system against the former president and dismissing as more noise the civil defamation lawsuit in which Trump is accused of rape.

Listen to one of the raving lunatics in Seattle.

Feeling guilty about your life or your success? Self torture might be the key to regaining your humility. Try this.

I'm not really following you. If the appointment is for CRBA, that is the appearance. Look on the embassy website for the CRBA requirements.

Looks like the last outreach was in Iloilo. They should be scheduling another city soon. https://ph.usembassy.gov/message-for-u-s-citizens-additional-information-on-remote-services-in-iloilo-city-on-april-14-2023/

I don't have experience with Cebu but if you can make an appointment, that would be for the appearance of the child too. Also, look into the Embassy outreach program. I did both of my kid's CRBA at outreaches, avoiding a trip to Manila or Cebu.

I saw this on Twitter, posted by Libs of TikTok. Hard to believe, so I found the actual video on You Tube. Go to 10:15 in the video.

Wow, that is cutting it close! Happy it worked out!

More!

Thanks for your confirmations and advice! I think all of our Philippines documents are PSA, but I will double check. I can't remember when NSO switched to PSA but I think all of ours were after the switch.

Following. I'm the petitioner but I am retired, living with my wife and family overseas. I'm hoping a detailed letter of my plan to reestablish domicile will have some weight. Instead of the letter from the friend (which is not really truthful), make some contacts with realtors or leasing or management companies who will help you find a place to rent. You may be able to open an account with some of these companies, which shows intent.

We already have marriage certificates. I'm going to order a bunch of marriage and birth certificates for the whole family before we leave for the U.S., so I will have a stockpile.

Thanks so much! I am in the CENOMAR application area. I don't see the CEMAR area, so I guess it will produce the correct version based on your entries?

@Chancy @Adventine Directly to the Philippine experts! Chancy, I just read your embassy review. Thanks for that! It is the only recent IR1/CR1 review with detail. We will do the same some day. You mentioned: I presented a CENOMAR, instead of a CEMAR (Advisory on Marriage). The consulate staff were also fine with it. What will my wife (IR1) need and where do we get it? Soon to be 19 year old never married step daughter (IR2)? I don't see any requirements in the NVC civil docs. My wife and I have been married almost 8 years. She was previously married, with annulment. We have all the paperwork. Thanks so much for saving me time!

@SalishSea Would she be allowed to have Hawaii as the first port on entry on K1, stay for a week, then fly on to Oregon? I thought that could save them some money. I have thought about something like that but we are IR1. Does it complicate anything?

This is what I was thinking. The only scenario I see working is if the OP is quite wealthy and can prove it.

I think it might have been pushbrk who told me I could not use the kid's SS. I was going to reread it, but I am unable to find the post. I think it was in 2021.

Yes, our household size is 5. My question is about the formula for assets required. Spouse is 3X the income shortfall. Stepdaughter is 5X, I think. I guess logically, as you indicate, I should just show the assets the same for both I-864, which will be a lot more than 5X. I guess I was overthinking it. Any thoughts on the social security?

Thanks so much! Very helpful for my planning. If I sell the house before visa approval, I might just keep the money in my BPI account here. I am good friends with the manager and I am sure he would be happy to help me with a letter. On the other hand, my US bank is Chase and I no longer have a personal relationship with any branch. It might be hard to get a letter. I can use my investment accounts if needed, but I hope to just use cash accounts. Which brings up a question. Do they just want to see the minimum required assets to cover the income shortfall, or do they want to dig into total assets? I was preferring just to show cash assets for privacy reasons only. Thought of a few more questions! 😉 I am doing two I-864. One for my wife and one for my step daughter. As I understand it, for spouse, assets required are 3X the income shortfall. E.G., 125% of poverty level = 40,000, income = 30,000, shortfall = 10,000. 3X 10,000 = 30,000 assets required, minimum. How about my step daughter? She is 5X? Do I just consider her completely separately and provide the 5X without any linkage to my wife? Last q for now. I asked about this a few years ago but I will ask again. I am retired and I get social security income. My two kids also get a SS benefit that together equals mine. If I can include their SS income, I don't need assets. It is family income that goes into our general fund for all living expenses. I was told by one of the experts here, a few years ago, that I could not include their SS. Any ideas on how I could include their income?

Yes, I was also thinking that maybe that "convertible to cash within one year" might have been the root cause of the "held for one year" misinterpretation, if it is a misinterpretation.

I just realized today that I will need to throw in some assets to supplement my income on the i-864. Not a big deal but a few questions to make sure I do it right. I reviewed some recent asset topics and it was mentioned a few times that the assets should have been held for a year. I do not see anything about that in the I-864 instructions. Is that really a thing? I do see where they ask for the acquisition date but nothing more. The reason I ask is this. One of my assets is our house here in the Philippines, which is for sale. After we sell, I will transfer the cash to my U.S. bank account, where it will appear as a "new" cash asset. Will they have questions about this "new" asset. I was thinking about including an explanation and a copy of the deed of sale. Also, I will be moving around some other cash assets when we ready to move. If possible, I am going to just show cash assets and not get into investments.

Thanks, will definitely consider it. All the fare are through the roof until September!
