Reread the notice to yourself (I used to do this slowly and aloud, to calm myself) to confirm the correct location. Maybe WPB is overloaded and they're sharing appointments with Kendall. I wouldn't concern myself with codes, footnotes/footers, etc. -- only what the literal instructions say.

Exactly. See previous page of thread:

Take that, leftists. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOPS! New Poll of Venezuela's Neighbors Shows a SLIGHTLY Different Reaction to Maduro's Arrest Nicolas Maduro had barely been put into handcuffs a few days ago before leftists in America began protesting and demanding his release. We needn't tell anyone that most of those paid protesters shared a certain ... ahem ... paleness to their hue. Capitol Hill wasn't much better, with John Fetterman being just about the only Democrat who could see the water's edge and applaud the US military for the amazing operation they had pulled off. Naturally, the opinions of Venezuelans about the removal of a dictator who had destroyed their country were just a tad different from the woke AWFLs in Manhattan sipping their Starbucks as they screeched 'Stop the bombing!' (The 'bombing,' of course, had already stopped while they were still sleeping off their Franzia hangover.) But a new poll, taken in the immediate aftermath of the raid, shows [...] https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2026/01/07/oops-new-poll-of-venezuelas-neighbors-shows-a-slightly-different-reaction-to-maduros-arrest-n2423623

Yee-HAAAAA!

Everyone at some point probably thinks that USCIS is a bunch of evil sadists. Progress WILL occur -- have faith. Meanwhile, distract yourselves. Violent physical exercise is one way.

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.

British Ask If Trump Can Please Do That Same Thing With Keir Starmer [...] According to numerous on-the-street interviews, Brits across the United Kingdom have all come together in the last 36 hours to ask if there's any possible way that Trump could just once more do that thing where he sends in Delta Force commandos to arrest a tyrant. "What I wouldn't give to see Trump post a pic of that blighter Starmer safely held aboard the USS Iwo Jima," sighed Edward Smith, a local British man.

The poster addressed just above hasn't logged on to VJ for >3 years and isn't following the thread, so a reply is highly unlikely. Old thread is now closed to further comment.

Ah. What were the reasons given for denial? Under which specific provisions of the immigration code were you denied? Attach any verbatim correspondence that you can show us, blacking out all identifying information.

Three outcomes for Maduro: 1. Rot in a U.S. prison (good). 2. Face justice in Venezuela (better). 3. Be appointed head of the Democrat National Committee (perfect casting!).

The icing on the cake would be if Pres. Trump distributes to the involved military personnel the $25 million reward for capturing Maduro.
