  1. There's nothing but the fee to lose, if you reapply.
  2. Jonathan Turley voices what we already think. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The justices must at long last deal with 'chronic injunctivitis' This week, the Supreme Court continued to deliberate over what to do with the growing number of national or universal injunctions issued by federal district courts against the Trump Administration. The court has long failed to address the problem, and what I call "chronic injunctivitis" is now raging across the court system. Justices have only worsened the condition with conflicting and at times incomprehensible opinions. Both Democratic and Republican presidents have long argued that federal judges are out of control in issuing national injunctions that freeze the entire executive branch for years on a given policy. For presidents, you have to effectively sweep the district courts 677-to-0 if you want to be able to carry out controversial measures. Any one judge can halt the entire government. Under President Barack Obama, Justice Elena Kagan expressed outrage [...] https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/5316962-supreme-court-chronic-injunctions/
  3. Thread is shifted from the K-1 Process forum to the K-1 Case Progress subforum.

  5. Be sure to let us know how the trip itself went, and about your mother. Prayers.
  6. Normally, the best positive aspect is someone's travel history. If the applicant has since traveled out-of-country and duly returned home, it can help. Other factors still apply, of course (ties to home country, etc.).
  7. Hmmmph, mam ma'am! We retail only the finest in POTSs*, hmmmph mam ma'am! *buy yours today, si man! There is no period after the Dr in Dr Pepper and Dr Pepper Zero, si and see and mam ma'am!

  9. Thread is moved from the CR-1 Case Progress subforum to the Working & Traveling forum -- topic is travel. --- Sincere sympathies. Folks here will be along to help soon.
  10. This has been used for years in informal English. There are loads of lots of oodles of synonyms for "many" in the dictionary and thesaurus. Thesaurus, n. - a prehistoric reptile with an excellent vocabulary.
  11. This article is quite good, with facts unavailable elsewhere. No wonder the mainstream culprits reported so lightly on the happenings. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The End of Neoconservatism In what can be called a victory speech over failed neoconservative foreign policy, President Donald Trump proclaimed the end of 30-some years of existing foreign policy in the Mideast. The ideology dragged the U.S. through pointless wars from Libya to Yemen is now dead. At an investment conference in Riyadh, in a speech little-commented on by the mainstream media, Trump said, "In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionalists [sic] were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand." For the first time since the First Gulf War in the 1990s, America is not fighting in the Middle East. Trump arranged a fragile ceasefire with Yemen, where multiple U.S. presidents have waged a proxy war against Iran. Trump is withdrawing American troops from Syria, became the first American president in 25 years to meet with a Syrian leader, and announced alongside his speech the end of sanctions against that country. He is finally negotiating with Iran toward some sort of nuclear deal to replace the one he unilaterally canceled in his first term. Progress has not always been in a straight line, but there has been progress. [...] https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-end-of-neoconservatism/

  23. When Karma Capsizes a Warship: North Korea's Grand Launch Ends in Wet Failure There's a poetic kind of justice when a dictatorship's propaganda parade ends as soggy scrap metal. North Korea, the Hermit Kingdom so fond of choreographed triumphs and goose-stepping grandeur, recently tried launching a 5,000-ton "stealth" destroyer, only to have it tip sideways into the sea like a child's bathtub toy. This wasn't just a mishap. It was a symbolic faceplant: the world's most belligerent pariah state, fresh off a backroom weapons-for-bodies deal with Vladimir Putin, found its supposed symbol of strength literally sideways and broken. Karma, it seems, sometimes comes in the shape of a capsized hull.
