Wednesday means that it's time for our hilarious Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY I'd go on a diet, but that seems like an insult to the fine folks who make and distribute cheesecake, and I, for one, won't stand for that. My favorite day of the week to exercise will always be tomorrow.

I think that this is an exceptionally perceptive piece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's REALLY Next for Venezuela and What the MSM Gets Wrong [...] Marco Rubio summed it up when he appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday and said that "most of the 'experts' people have on television, I watch these experts and it's clown hour. These are people that have focused their entire career on the Middle East or some other part of the world because that's where all the action was. Very few of them know anything about Venezuela or the Western Hemisphere." So, here is what I can tell you about what's next for Venezuela: No one outside the White House knows. I don't know. You don't know. The loudest reporters, anchors, and pundits in the rest of the media don't know — even the ones with the fancy anonymous sources who claim to be insiders, even the ones with the big names who get all the attention. None of them know. I'd also be willing to bet that inside the White House, they [...] https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2026/01/06/whats-really-next-for-venezuela-n4947951

That's just about right...

Time spent together in person is the biggest support of a bona fide relationship. Be sure that the baby has a U.S. passport or appropriate travel authorization. It should help. USCIS cares only that you're both free, available, and of age to marry, and that you've met in person at least once in the 2 years before filing the I-129F petition. The consulate cares about bona fide relationship. Did you proceed to the interview phase, for the K-1 visa as you imply? Or had you not seen him in person within the 2 years before filing, and this is why USCIS denied your petition?

Key information is missing, because your explanations so far are clouding our understanding further. It would be extremely helpful if you'd attach copies of your denial letters (whether from USCIS or the consulate) so that we can see the precise reasons for your denials. Obscure names, case numbers, and other identifiable information.

Please clarify. Were you married but sent the I-129F petition instead of the I-130 -- twice? If true, then why? A lot of married couples (and even more fiancés) have no children. Having children isn't a prerequisite for anything at the petition or consular level, so it's unclear why having a child vs. not having one would be relevant. Please clarify.

This doesn't sound or look promising. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Venezuela: The hour of the thug Foul people in power can only lead to foul results. In the wake of the flawless U.S. military-law enforcement operation to extract Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and fly him to New York to face narcoterror charges, the Chavistas who remain are turning the scene into an orgy of violence and thuggery. Delcy Rodriguez, who was the vice president until today, was sworn in as president, presumably creating the 'transition' promised by President Trump. Her brother controls the legislature. And Delcy is said to have collaborated with the CIA to ensure Maduro's removal. Her first move was to send her goons into the streets to arrest Venezuelan dissidents, declaring an all-out war on those who supported the U.S. operation against Maduro.
