Congratulations! Folks will be along to answer.

This is natural -- we've all gone through it. Whether this attempt is returned or not, the odds are that you'll have more, better, and more-efficient control over the quality and timing of your future submissions if you take charge of them yourself. If objective or subjective reasons preclude you from this, such as honest lack of time, unwillingness, or something else, one of our VJ Partners has a stellar record of attention and thoroughness and is imaginably less expensive than a lawyer.

Yes, there is much waiting throughout; however, every phase should be handled as if processing will be performed immediately by agents who have an eagle eye toward every facet of how petitioners and their representatives approach the system. Petition packages, now and throughout the entire process, should be submitted completely after reading the requirements carefully, interpreting instructions literally, and complying/responding completely and accurately. Your legal team appears to treat these basic obligations casually. The foregoing is the crucial factor to adhere to, because -- as you've found -- assumptions about processing-time can be perilous. It's likely that if you handle resubmission yourselves and follow the above advice, outcomes will improve.

It has been a while since Rhododendron status has been reconfirmed, too.

Computers are a boon to mankind! Glad to hear the good news.

Curious what others would be saying to or doing with/to the Skool people at this point, si man.

What?! How can this offender be ignored?

Thanks for your comprehensive, informative, literate account -- helpful and entertaining. Next time, inform us beforehand so that we can make some shrewd financial investments in certain ink-manufacturers. Was this one of the questions? https://ifunny.co/picture/will-a-latina-be-the-death-of-you-si-yes-GlSeRN628?s=cl

Sometimes, systems will show update messages during odd hours. If you choose to, keep checking casually throughout the weekend, or distract yourself with other activities until formal business functions resume.

Well, YOU were the one to raise the issue, see and si and man!

Too much GS/ES stuff to have her move in, si man.

Rigged Immigration Report Proves Bari Weiss Is Lying About CBS News Reforms On Monday, far-left CBS News released anti-ICE/pro-Democrat Party talking points that prove that, despite her promises, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss has no intention of reforming the disgraced CBS News. In fact, Bari Weiss is lying about reforming CBS News in the hopes of suckering Normal People to once again trust, watch, and deliver clicks to this joke of a news outlet.

Thrilling Thursday-on-Friday report, see man: Breakfasted/skoolbused Mini-B., groggy Two Guys man. We immediately retired for a siesta, surprisingly effective man. Then Mama T-B. called in aysheep fashion, si man. Her good ear is entirely earwaxed-up, can't hear man. The nooser told her to have someone bring her Debrox, si man. We rousted ourself to go get it, si man. Lunch during this erranding was at Jack In The Box*, ingest we man. *WUOC, F$WM We returned to our casa, serviced demanding miu, and began taxxing, Mama T-B.'s firm order man. Mama T-B. then called in aysheep fashion to ask when we were bringing the Debrox, si man. We finally made it there, si man. Fortunately, a nooser could immediately instill the Debrox, partially mollified senior she man man. Mama T-B. asked us Many (2+2) -- si man, Many (2+2) -- times to read her the Debrox instruxions, man. We were as patient as possible, restrained we man. We also did the usual needful and also caddied her pills, si man. Mama T-B. then laid on the usual guilt-trip about our planned March trip, "don't desert me, no man," sigh man. This was non-Two Guys eve, sigh man. Din-din was 2 buttered bagels, ingest we man. Mini-B. returned in time for movie night, Down to Earth watch Two Guys man. Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. This tallies to Many (2x2x2 +1) for the week, one short of quota man. With no notice to parents, Debait teechur revised the schedule, more realistic now man. We had to text him after hours to learn of lunch arrangements, ignore e-mail he man. We have rarely encountered such up-scrood event organization, no man. We have itineraried 2 highly proximal Friday ESs, cancel something else we man man. We have itineraried 2 Saturday ESs rather proximal to the Debait tournament, now feasible man. And no party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. And that was/is our thrilling Thursday, report we man.

Not until you read THIS today from the DiRectum of Transpurtayshun, see and si and man: --- Dear Mr. Bone, Thank you for reaching out and for sharing the challenges you have experienced regarding transportation for your son, Mini-Bone, at ___ Hyskool, si man. We understand that shared custody arrangements can be difficult to manage, and we appreciate the opportunity to review your request, si man. After reviewing your request and the guidance outlined in the ISD Student & Parent Handbook, we are unable to grant standing authorization for Mini-Bone to utilize multiple bus routes on different days, no man. District transportation is provided based on one designated primary pickup and drop‑off location per student, and the handbook does not allow transportation to multiple locations or flexible use of alternate routes, no man. For this reason, students may only ride their assigned AM and PM routes, and drivers must follow those assignments consistently, si man. While we recognize the disruption this has caused, approving the requested arrangement would not align with the transportation guidelines established in the handbook, si and no man. Mini-Bone remains eligible for transportation based on his currently designated address and assigned routes, si man. Families in shared custody situations may choose the primary address that best meets their needs, si man; however, transportation service can only be provided to one primary location, si man. We regret that we are unable to accommodate your request and understand this may be disappointing, yeah right man. Our goal is to apply District guidance consistently while maintaining safe and reliable transportation for all students, si man. If you would like a copy of the relevant handbook language or assistance reviewing options within these guidelines, we would be happy to help, si man. For clarity, Board policy authorizes the District to provide transportation and delegates operational details to administrative guidance, si man; the specific rules regarding pickup and drop‑off locations are established in the Student & Parent Handbook, which governs transportation procedures, see man. Sincerely, si man, DiRectum of Transpurtayshun, si man --- This clown might not be aware of the parallel thread that we have with the Area Stuporintendant, no man. We replied in restrained fashion to the above clown, si man. We narrowed our request to temporary authorization through this skoolyeer, si man. We then forwarded the entire string to the Area Stuporintendant to ask for the temp auth, si man. So we wait till next week at least, sigh man. We plan to exhaust all escalation before going utterly aysheep, si man. So what would everyone here do at this point, huh man?

New accounts reset the time, Charles says. Do not irk, irritate, or gainsay the fearful Ban Hammer! You know what Rhodo status relies upon. You want, you upvote.

Eye thot itt wuz Speling.

Or, everyone in D.C. is full of... uh, poop.

A full report is mandatory!

This has become a process thread, so it's moved from the CR-1 Case Progress subforum to the CR-1 Process forum.

A headache, indeed. Wow. We were fortunate; we moved only once, right before ROC. We filed the respective forms only once, and every USCIS interaction proceeded uneventfully. Let's hope that you overcome this eventually and that things smooth out.

Very interesting comparison, from an obvious Democrat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Israeli Lesson Democrats Ignore at Their Peril What happens to democracy when a major political party loses its way and loses its connection with the electorate? As an Israeli American and an independent U.S. voter, I've seen firsthand the damage that can be done in Israel, and now – if Democrats aren't careful – in America. We can't let the same mistakes happen here because a competitive party system is critical for a functioning democracy. The Democratic Party is facing a serious challenge from the far left that mirrors the dynamics which drove the Israeli Labor Party from absolutely dominant to afterthought by the beginning of this century. The stark decline of Labor in Israel is a powerful lesson for the Democrats in how to misread, miscalculate, and ultimately miss the boat in speaking to an electorate with different needs, expectations, and worries.

Paging pushbrk...

Her mental-health issues prevented her from giving her motive: namely, her motive was the mental-health issues.

This is quite interesting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Democratic State Leaders: Sanctuary Cities Must Be Exempted from Civil Rights Laws [...] Sanctuary Cities create revenue for local governments, investors, and CEOs by creating an economy of illegal-migrant workers, consumers, and renters. The migrants are paid little — but they are also much better paid and safer than in their homeland, and the state government provides many benefits, such as education for their children and healthcare. Migrants gain from the Democrats' Sanctuary Cities economic model even as Americans in those cities lose their civil right to a level playing field economy where they are not discriminated against as they compete for decent wages and housing. For example, median rents rose to $16,500 in 2024 amid an average income of $52,000. Roughly speaking, three full-time, minimum wage jobs are needed to afford a two-bedroom apartment in Minneapolis, according to a far-left group, the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Trump's enforcement is now ending the Sanctuary Cities' exemptions from the popular laws that protect Americans in their national market for wages and homes.

Too much Winning. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump has reversed the Biden-made manufacturing decline [...] In January, the ISM Manufacturing Index jumped 4.7 points to 52.6. That wasn't just an estimate beat; it was a blowout, and an important one. The ISM Manufacturing Index is the most widely followed survey of factory activity worldwide. When it moves above 50, the manufacturing economy is expanding. When it jumps nearly 5 points in a single month to decisively push past 50, something fundamental has changed. That "something" is Trumponomics finally overpowering the wreckage left behind by Bidenomics. The 52.6 reading marks the first decisive return to expansion since August 2022, ending a manufacturing downturn that dominated the latter half of the Biden presidency. Curiously, although the ISM manufacturing index is [...] https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/feb/10/trump-reversed-biden-made-manufacturing-decline/
