One post violating the site's Terms of Service has been removed. Knock off the insults. Your thread is being moved from General Immigration Discussion to the Effects of Major Changes forum, to be among similar threads. There's a very large VAWA thread which you can read and where you can ask questions.

Not the OP's stage just yet, but it's never too early to think about removing conditions on the green card. Take every piece of evidence physically coming in that indicates your shared life together, and throw it into a box. Do the same thing digitally in a computer folder. By ROC time, you'll have a smorgasbord of evidence to support the filing. In addition (actually, before anything), shop for a lawyer who can draft Wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents. These make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life." Remember that if you move from one U.S. state to another, your Will may need to be redone.

Church Bylaws State All Sunday School Classes Must Have One Annoying Guy Who Constantly Starts Off-Topic Arguments BRYAN, TX — First Baptist Church of Bryan officially added to their bylaws that all adult Sunday School classes are required to have one annoying guy who continually brings up random, unrelated topics to argue about. The bylaws further state that the guy must faithfully attend every week to ensure that no Sunday School lesson is completed without going on several wild tangents. "The topics brought up by the man must be completely out of nowhere, with no relation to the discussion whatsoever," read the update. "The topics will preferably be of a controversial nature, and [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/church-bylaws-state-all-sunday-school-classes-must-have-one-annoying-guy-who-constantly-starts-random-off-topic-arguments

Insult To Injury: Trump Changes Netflix Password And Now Zelensky Has To Get His Own Account WASHINGTON, D.C. — On top of losing an economic deal and getting publicly berated on television, President Zelensky arrived at his hotel room only to find that Trump had changed his Netflix password and now Zelensky would have to get his own account. The loss of his Premium Netflix subscription came as a tough blow, after already missing out on his catered lunch and losing the backing of the most powerful nation on the planet. "Oh, come on," said Zelensky [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/insult-to-injury-trump-changes-netflix-password-and-now-zelenskyy-has-to-get-his-own-account

This seems an excellent analysis. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump's Ukraine Gambit Yesterday's explosive White House showdown between President Donald J. Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ignited a firestorm of debate. The Oval Office, typically a sanctuary of decorum, became a crucible of raw truth, exposing the fault lines of America's role in a war-weary world. To the chattering classes, it's a scandal; to conservatives grounded in an America First ethos, it's an incentive -- a bold reassertion of national sovereignty over globalist entanglements. Trump's unapologetic stance, echoed by Vice President JD Vance, isn't a diplomatic misstep but a strategic masterstroke, one that demands we rethink our priorities and reclaim our destiny. Let's strip away the sanctimonious veneer. [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/03/trump_s_ukraine_gambit.html

'Living in a Bubble': How Zelensky Miscalculated Trump [...] The Ukrainian leader, who at times rolled his eyes and crossed his arms in defiance during the fiery bilateral meeting, either fundamentally misunderstood, or entirely miscalculated, the current moment in American politics. His alliance with the United States, if not the fate of his country, is imperiled. "He doesn't recognize that Nov. 6 was a paradigm shift in American politics, including for our policy toward Ukraine," a White House official told RealClearPolitics after Zelensky departed the White House with a stone-faced delegation in tow but without a signed deal to facilitate U.S. mining of rare minerals in Ukraine. Zelensky had failed to understand "the new political landscape," the official said before adding that the Ukrainian leader had been "living in a pro-Ukrainian American bubble." The drama that played out at the White House was unprecedented. It certainly was not scripted. One source familiar with preparations for the dialogue told RCP, "None of us expected [Zelensky] to act like that."

Zelensky Just Gave a Masterclass on How To Lose a Negotiation [...] You'd think that going into this meeting President Zelensky would have his priorities straight and be focused on winning over the United States to the cause. He had to have known this was going to be an uphill battle – Trump has long been publicly critical of the amount of aid we have given to Ukraine and the impact that corruption has had with dispersing the aid, and has generally taken a negative view of Zelensky's alleged support for Democratic candidates. Despite having the odds stacked against them, the situation is dire – so Ukraine had to try. Right? Wrong. Instead, Zelensky demonstrated the diplomatic skills of a first-year intern thrown into high-stakes negotiations.

A few months ago, a repairman told me to keep my 2011-era Frigidaire refrigerator for as long as it runs, and, if I replace it, to keep it in the garage. He said that, for one, Samsung appliances are pure garbage. I'd like to hear people's experiences and whether you agree with the article below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Do Household Appliances Really Not Last as Long as They Used To? Everybody knows that household appliances don't last as long as they used to. But is this conventional wisdom really true? Or is it just one of those alluring fables we like to tell ourselves about the good ol' days? Internet searches provide copious anecdotes. News outlets generally interview repair technicians, who tell a convincing and consistent story. Appliances built in the 1970s generally lasted thirty to fifty years, they say. Today, domestic mainstays like washing machines, ovens, fridges, and dryers get replaced about every decade. Technicians blame an industry push towards computerization, an increase in the number of individual components, and the use of flimsier materials like plastic and aluminum rather than steel. The results of these trends are appliances that break more often and are harder and more costly to repair. But where is the hard data to back these tales? It's surprisingly hard to come by. Researchers Kamila Krych and Johan Berg Pettersen in the Department of Energy and Process Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology sought to fill the gap.

Study Finds 98% Of Parenting Just Deciding If That's Good Or Bad Screaming PRINCETON, NJ — According to a new study, researchers have confirmed that approximately 98% of all parenting is just deciding if what they're hearing is "good screaming" or "bad screaming." According to Dr. Brent Wayde, who conducted interviews and polls with thousands of parents across the nation, the vast majority of navigating child-rearing boils down to being able to tell whether or not the screams emanating from the next room indicated joyful playing or a painful injury.

Trump Hangs Up Sign In White House 'You Must Be This Tall To Receive Foreign Aid' WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following an explosive meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump sought to make sure it never happens again by hanging a sign up that reads "You must be this tall to receive foreign aid." The sign, which prominently displayed a red line indicating the required height a world leader must be to receive U.S. funding, was placed prominently on display in the Oval Office next to a painting of John Adams.

Zelensky Tries Bold New Strategy Of Insulting The People He's Begging For Money From WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an unusual tactic rarely seen in high-level negotiations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to try insulting the people he was begging for money from. Zelensky further decided that the best place to insult that person would be their work office, surrounded by dozens of colleagues, with several cameras recording the insult. "It is unorthodox, but I firmly believe going into a person's country, visiting them in their home, and then insulting them on national television is the best way to earn their trust and support," he explained.

Trump Assures PM Starmer England Still His Favorite Muslim Country WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump extended an olive branch to the United Kingdom on Thursday, telling Prime Minister Keir Starmer that England was still his favorite out of all the Muslim countries. According to sources, Starmer had been apprehensive ahead of his meeting with Trump due to their agendas appearing to be at odds with each other, but that all changed when Trump told him that, of all the Muslim countries in the world, England was the best. "I love all people, even Muslims. Especially the British Muslims," Trump told Starmer. "Of all the Muslims in the world, no one is more civilized than the English. I mean, you're still melting faces off of women and stabbing each other, but [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-assures-starmer-england-still-his-favorite-of-all-the-muslim-countries

Zelensky Kicking Himself For Not Wearing His More Formal Olive Green T-Shirt To White House Meeting [...] While talks between the United States, Russia, and Ukraine continued regarding territory holdings, security guarantees, and mineral deals, the Ukrainian president was forced to take criticism from President Donald Trump about his attire, leading him to regret not putting on his fancier dress t-shirt. "I should have broken out my best t-shirt for this," Zelenskyy reportedly muttered to himself as he left the Oval Office.

FBI Investigation Shows Epstein List Shredded Itself WASHINGTON, D.C. — After a thorough 3-minute investigation, the FBI announced that the highly anticipated Epstein list had shredded itself. The list, which had long been purported to link human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein to elites around the globe and was allegedly so damning that it threatened to bring down Hollywood, Congress, and Prince Andrew, apparently shredded itself and no one at the FBI remembered what it said. "We have no idea how this could have happened," said spokesman Special Agent Sean Kellar. "The list must have [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/fbi-investigation-shows-epstein-list-shredded-itself

'President Asked Zelensky To Leave': Ukraine Talks Blow Up in Oval Office Volodymyr Zelensky did not wear a suit and the Ukrainian president did not sign a minerals deal with the United States, either. Instead, the wartime leader was unceremoniously kicked out of the White House after tangling with President Trump and Vice President Vance. Trump has been pushing for an end to the land war in Europe since returning to office, meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer this week to find a path to peace. Those meetings went well. His sit-down with Zelensky did not.
