Welcome to the forum! Contact your Congressional representative's office. The immigration liaison has channels to USCIS and can inquire on your behalf. There will be a consent form, available either somewhere on the Congressman's site or by request, that you'll need to submit to that office to give permission for them to help you. Good luck, and keep us apprised.

WCG is in London for Mrs. WCG's visa caucus on Manycember 1, finally man. She's missing her birth certificate, so a Vietnamese lawyerette is trying to obtain it from Vietnam ASAP, unsure about success there man. When the visa is finally granted, it would be an IR-1, thankfully man.

Thrilling Thursday/Thanksgiving report, see man: Pretty good zzz despite shoulder, zzz well enough we man. Breakfast for miu was Fancy Feast turkey, ingest miu man. Attendees at ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s lunch were us, ex-she man, Mini-B., Cousin Mini-B., & Cousinette Mini-B., quorum man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. had supermarketed for a meal kit, efficient ex-she man man. We stuffed ourself with 2 full plates of turkey, ham, stuffing, and green bean casserole, ingest we man. This was breakfast/lunch/din-din, sated we man. We then zzz'd out on the couch next to sleeping mini-miu, little orange boy man. Family from Ecu then video-called, call they man. To them, ex-Mrs.-T-B. showed us zzz-ing, man. We up-woke just enough in dazed fashion to not completely embarrass ourself, dazed we man. Afterward, went to Dollar General for a couple of items, DG we man. As hoped, got register receipt for $Many-off-$Many on Saturday, man. We shall return for that, F$WM. After DG-ing, we adjourned to the casa for a roaring siesta, tryptophan coma we man. Shoulder awoke us only a couple of minutes before alarm, improvement man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. The only 2 ESs this weekend are far afield, but not unexpected man. We shall errand along that route, adaptable we man. Two thrift stores are also itineraried, at least one doing half-off everything man. It will be crucial that we arise and begin early, anathema to every fiber of our being man. And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, report we man.

Happy Thanksgiving to all VAWA filers. Sometimes it may seem otherwise, but there's stuff to be thankful for. Think about it, latch on to it, and focus on it.

OK -- have Viernes Negro (Black Friday in Spanish) figured out for myself. 1. Home Despot for Energizer batteries. 2. Favorite large thrift store for 50% off everything. 3. Aldi for desserts to bring to a family luncheon on Saturday. 4. Estate sales as may be scheduled. Saturday will be Dollar General as stated above.

Was watching Teleamazonas earlier today -- the big Ecuadorian network. Ecu doesn't have our Thanksgiving, but they do have Black Friday, which was news to me. They showed >300 Ecus lined up a day ahead of the sales at the big MegaMaxi supermarket*. *roughly like a Super Target in the U.S. Some actually broke through the barriers being guarded in vain by security dudes. One teenager-looking Ecu fell down and was almost trampled. The MegaMaxi stores and their "smaller" version, SuperMaxi, are almost always extremely busy.

Oh, gee -- such a deviation from normal. Yawn.

Wonderful to hear! Sometimes the VAWA process features little crumbs of happiness.

Went on Thursday. Store had solid stream of customers -- good move to be open. Got couple of cheaper things in anticipation of the usual*. *register receipt for $5 off $25**, good only on Sat., Nov. 29 **these coupons are typical for whatever the upcoming Saturday is Will return Saturday for BOGO Castrol motor oil*** + other stuff. ***it's surprisingly hard to spend $25 at DG without big or bulk purchases Nothing like 20% off!

Attendees: T-B., Mrs. T-B., Mini-B., Cousin Mini-B., Cousinette Mini-B. Menu: Everything, including ham and green bean casserole. Eaten: 2 piled plates turkey, ham, dressing, GB casserole; one large slice pie. Outcome: Tryptophan Coma

Slimebuckets.

She's not a rubia, so why, no and huh man?

Groggily prepping ourself for ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s repast at half an hour before noon, grogprep we man. Tryptophan coma to follow, high odds man.

Nobody should be doin' nuthin' at o'dark-Many, no man!

Can you relate? ------- Mom Continues Longstanding Tradition Of Making Cranberry Sauce For No One LANSING, MI — Local mom Janet Fields has continued her decades-long tradition of making cranberry sauce for no one to eat.

Comments on this? And should the offending Somalis be deported? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It's Not "Racist" to Notice Somali Fraud Last week, my colleague Ryan Thorpe and I broke a story about widespread fraud committed by Somalis in Minnesota. Members of the state's Somali community allegedly participated in complex schemes related to autism services, food programs, and housing, which prosecutors estimate have stolen billions of taxpayer dollars. Even worse, some of the cash has ended up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, a terrorist organization in Somalia. The story quickly reached the White House. Within days, President Trump announced that he was revoking the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for all Somali migrants in Minnesota. Progressives have suggested that our reporting and the subsequent policy change were "racist." While many of those indicted in these schemes are Somali, these critics argue, the federal government should not hold Minnesota's Somali community corporately responsible for the actions of individuals. This criticism is superficially appealing, but it isn't persuasive on closer inspection. [...] https://www.city-journal.org/article/fraud-minnesota-somali-immigration-debate?skip=1

Post yours here. Dollar General, open Thanksgiving Day, has some 3-day specials that I might investigate in-store.

Done, presuming an adequate, uh, campaign donation.

Thrilling Wednesday report, see man: Rather busy, si man. Shoulder wasn't super-bad overnight, awake only a little before alarm we man. We prepped for what we envisioned as a low-stress day with time for long-put-off projects, si man. Of course, Mama T-B. called with half-a-Manyzen items, semi-aysheep senior she man man. There went our morning and our day, sigh man. We did accomplish almost all of the more crucial items, at least there was that man. From Mama T-B., we went to Walmart for eye exam, see man. Rx hadn't changed much but doc told us to get deeper lenses, ours not sufficient for Rx components man. So this explains why we haven't been able to see out of more than half an eye all year, tell us first man. We did get to visit ultra-foxy-but-married Indian opticianette, oh our God what a fox she man man. She helped us find frames to accommodate our Rx, appreciative we man. Frames were designer but quite cheap, F$WM. Lenses, however, cost $Many00 -- si man, $Many00 -- man. Afterward, we went into store, not as bananas with shoppers as we'd expected man. We found 2 Italian Hero deli subs on last-fresh-day markdown, purchase F$WM. Back at casa, serviced insistent miu, service miu we man. Breakfast/lunch/din-din (at half-past Many [2+2] p.m.) was one of the Walmart subs*, ingest we man. *bought as stated within the hour, F$WM A siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Shoulder awoke us, but toward siesta's end, acceptable man. At Many (2x2x2) p.m., we decided to grocery for our sports drinks, running low we man. Supermarket was a madhouse, people doing full shopping only then man. Why wait so late, and why not do it in stages over a couple or Many days, huh man? Fortunately, our experience wasn't so bad, no man. We found all the necessary Manyzen Powerade Zero grape, find we man. Store had coupons for "buy 2 Gatorade, get Many'rd free," note we man. We got Many (2+2+2) Gatorade Zero grape, all that were there man. We even stood on a nearby ladder to get them all, determined and financially savvy we man. Mini-B. confirmed receipt of package of Many tinsel balls for mini-miu, grateful wee man man. In short, we accomplished all but what we'd envisioned, one door closes another opens man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s Thanksgiving lunch is half an hour before noon, host ex-she man we man man. After that, we envision a tryptophan coma, zzz we man. However, Dollar General has several items on special, open Thanksgiving man. Stay tuned on edge of seat for gripping, thrilling updates, si and ** man. **shaddap Bro G or anyone else man We must also itinerary any GSs/ESs, thin weekend therefor man. And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.

Over there, he's probably a moderate or even a screaming conservative, si man. Everything is, uh, relative, si and man.

Went to supermarket on a completely discretionary trip. Needed to restock supply of sports drinks. The time was 8:30 Wednesday night. The parking lot was a madhouse, but, like Kojak, I got a primo space. Fortunately, the store had a lot of checkers, so the wait was normal. A whole lot of folks seemed to be doing full, last-minute shopping at that hour. 😕 Anyone ever hear of preparation, or at least shopping in stages?
