No other plans in particular, no man. And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.

Hmm. The article says "During the appointment..." and "they were getting everything signed off." Was she getting signed in? Was she in her actual interview? Was she getting signed out after the interview? If the first, perhaps she's still technically detainable and deportable; if either of the latter, it would seem that she'd be under the USCIS umbrella.

A post has been removed because it has its own thread in the Current Events forum.

Everyone starts new. Welcome to VJ, and glad that you found the thread.

Sample one and report back. This is absolutely an awful story.

I don't think that this is much more unusual that what's routinely been happening for years. Maybe it's getting more press now because "if it bleeds, it leads" and the media are trying to needle the current administration.

Send it where they say to. If it's someplace different, it's on them to match the RFE to your file.

Thread is moved from the "AOS from WS&T Visas" forum to the Current Events forum, where political topics are discussed.

Congratulations!

This sucks and would be no surprise to anyone who's seen any John Kass column on the topic.

We hope that mam ma'am escaped tornadic damage Monday afternoon, si man.

P-Math transgressions corrected, see and si and C man. And, nothing wrong with his acting, depending on the nicely flexible definition of Many, si man. Hope he's able to do turkey, etc. this week, ingest wee C man man. Edited to add: Ignore above, no see man -- LPoP and unread, no see man.

Congratulations and welcome! Thanks for your detailed report -- it will be valuable to many others here.

Scintillating Sunday repartee, yawn man. ------- Thrilling Sunday-on-Monday report, see man: We zzz'd for perhaps 1 hour total, pain + thinking about Papa T-B. man.

9700+ Arrests for Online Posts in UK Last Year Newly revealed data shows that nearly 10,000 British citizens were arrested last year for social media posts. And since multiple police jurisdictions did not share data, the number is actually probably much higher. The UK Daily Mail reported "shocking numbers" last week after obtaining data from 39 out of 45 police jurisdictions in the United Kingdom. This shows 9,700 arrests last year for social media posts, and 13,800 arrests the previous year. While the number of arrests last year went down, they were still higher than before the COVID pandemic. And it is unclear whether arrests will not have increased this year, as reportedly up to 30 people were being arrested a day in the UK amidst harsh free-speech crackdowns.

That Was Quick: Hamas Tells Witkoff the Ceasefire Is Over and It's Ready to Fight To the surprise of no sentient being on planet Earth, Hamas has declared that it is about to end the ceasefire in Gaza and go back to trying to murder Israeli civilians and destroy the Jewish state. The Jerusalem Post reported Saturday that "amid Hamas attempts to breach Gaza's Yellow Line and subsequent IDF activities to thwart the terrorists, Hamas warned US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that it could end the ceasefire in Gaza." Actually, there doesn't seem to be any genuine uncertainty about Hamas' plans. The Saudi publication Al Arabiya reported that "the agreement is over and [Hamas] is ready to fight," which is not surprising to anyone who is familiar with what the group's real goals are, and how it viewed the ceasefire from the beginning. Hamas is, first and foremost, an Islamic group. Its founding 1988 charter bears this epigraph from Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." Nothing there about coexisting side-by-side in peace with the Jewish state. Nor does it say anything about social justice warriors obliterating Israel, or forcing it to make peace. Instead, it says Islam will ultimately obliterate Israel. [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2025/11/22/that-was-quick-hamas-tells-witkoff-the-ceasefire-is-over-and-its-ready-to-fight-n4946295

Sunday! Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== SEEN AHD HEARD You have to love the change back to Standard time. There's nothing quite like watching the sunset while you're eating lunch. My brother took going to jail really badly. He refused food and drinks, swore at everyone, and even started throwing things. After that, we decided never to play Monopoly with him again. I'm not saying that my wife orders from Amazon a lot, but we just got a wedding invitation from one of their drivers. I'm taking my box of wine back and filing a complaint. It said, once opened, that the wine would last 6 weeks -- but it was gone in 3 hours.

Ideas: -- Carry a printout of information from a government website saying that it's OK to file AOS with expired I-94. -- Carry a copy of your cover-letter to USCIS from when you filed for AOS. -- When you get the NOA1, carry a copy of it. The above are adapted from a pinned thread in another forum; take a look. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/562879-cbp-at-tsa-airport-checkpoints-why-theyre-there-how-best-to-handle/#entry7784682

Thrilling Saturday non-ES report, see man: Awakened early by rain, man. Lazed until startled by text from a customer for one of Mama T-B.'s items, $ man. Customer could meet at 2 p.m., latest possible man. We hastily prepped ourself for ES-ing, adrenalinized we man. Breakfast was a hastily gulped PB&J sandwich, gulp we man. Lunch for Mini-B. was 2 pre-prepped PB&J sandwiches, eventually ingest wee man. We headed casa-ward after the Many'th (2+2+1th) ES, timing man. Arrived just as customer pulled up, propitious timing man. Hastily prepped & dolly-carted item outside, adrenalinized we man. Bade satisfied customer ciao, $ucce$$ful we man. Went back out to attend Many'th (2+2+2th) ES, diligent we man. During commute, Mama T-B. called to request brief visit, agree for later we man. Visited, gave love to, fed, and played with mini-miu, appreciative mini-miu man. Returned to casa to collect Mini-B., reluctant gaming-with-amigos wee man man. Visited Mama T-B., "brief" visit of an hour man. Mini-B. quietly aysheep to return to gaming, focused wee man man. Shut him up by agreeing to 'za for din-din, mollify wee man we man man.

No other plans other than the usual Many (2+1) laundry loads, no plan we man man. And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

That sucks. Maybe the computer setting the appointment wasn't considering (1) some officer's vacation schedule, (2) the prospect of 16,935 inches of snow, or similar.
