Well, today's a spooky day, N ma'am!

Sucks. Keep the faith -- it WILL happen.

Excellently done by Edward, especially the bold "I-129F" on the front. You might even increase that to "ORIGINAL I-129F."

Definitely post the good news.

Thrilling Friday GS/ES report, see man: We attended all, reliable we man. The final ES (way remote) was a jokeful waste, wasteful joke man. The GS & first 2 ESs yielded the take, see man: -- Old Navy jeans in our new waist size = $1, steal man -- Many-pack ([2+1]-pack) of HEB-brand Kleenex = $Many ($2+2+1), deal man -- small U.S. flag, bar Dial soap, NIP pack Medline disposable warshcloths, onecan spray microwave-cleaner* = $2 + half a buck, steal man Total = $Many-&-a-half ($2x2x2 + half a buck) *originally sold in Woolworth, store sticker still on it man

Just wait until they expose themselves as delinquents, si Y ma'am. But good story and happy ending, si Y ma'am.

1. It's the perfect time to be up only if one hasn't gone to bed yet, si and man. 2. Egregious -- si man, egregious -- P-Math errors throughout, man. Oh, yeah, you got a real bargain, si man. Si and glee and whee, man. Isn't your rubia wife of any use, huh man? You should hate people, animals, and things, si man.

Spooked Monkey Gets Loose in Texas Spirit Halloween Store and Swings from Rafters Shoppers at a Texas Spirit Halloween were in for a surprise this week after a monkey escaped its owner and starting climbing around the store. In video footage obtained by Storyful, a pet monkey can be seen climbing the shelves and swinging from the rafters at the Halloween shop in Plano, Texas, on Monday, Oct. 27. Arlene Pinkston, a woman who was shopping with her daughters and recorded footage of the wild incident, said that the situation was akin to "Animal Kingdom live." "My daughter looked up and she said, 'What in the world?' and she's like, 'Is that a real monkey?' and I looked up and said, 'Well, it's got a diaper on so I guess it is real,'" Pinkston said, per NBC DFW.

As called by Mrs. T-B., "cheaps." Music to the ears...

Yes! He has such effective Hair Gel!

I wonder if anyone in the U.K. truly cares all that much about this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Royal Reckoning: King Charles Brutally Strips Brother of Titles and Home–Could Criminal Charges Be Next? It appears that Great Britain's King Charles has finally had it with his younger brother, Prince Andrew, and at long last has brought the full weight of the crown down on Andrew, who was entirely too close to Jeffrey Epstein and against whom alarming allegations of sexual assault of a minor were made. In a stunning announcement made Thursday evening, Buckingham Palace issued a strong statement confirming that Andrew would be officially stripped of his royal titles and forced to move out of his royal lodgings.

Incompetence or willful blindness to the max. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LAFD Whistleblowers Destroy Official Narrative on Palisades Fire Cause According to multiple Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters, crews mopping up the January 1, 2025, Lachman Fire in Pacific Palisades were ordered by a Battalion Chief on January 2 to roll up hoses and leave the scene even though the ground was smoldering and "red hot coals" were found in the area. The fire continued to smolder and burn in underground root systems, according to federal investigators, until January 7, when strong winds whipped it back up. That blaze came to be known as the Palisades Fire, which decimated an entire community and killed 12 people. LAFD knew "immediately" that the January 7 fire was a reignition of the Lachman Fire, according to the messages, yet the Incident Commander and other members of LAFD's command staff vehemently denied any link until federal investigators forced their hand in early October.

Best continuous VJ advice ever: Listen to pushbrk.

To hand out, I have some "dumdum"-type lollipops from Ecuador in various flavors, some Welch's fruit snacks, and some sealed 2-packs of Pop-Tart knockoffs (strawberry, & cookies-&-cream). Mini-Bone has lost his taste for these toaster pastries, and I can't eat them any longer. Matter of fact, this will be the first year, likely of lifetime duration, when I can no longer snack on Hallowe'en treats between trick-or-treater visits or as leftovers. We can blame my recalcitrant pancreas.

Here's another for Judge Boasberg or one of his like-minded District Judge colleagues to declare unconstitutional. ------------------------ Trump sets lowest refugee cap in US history President Trump is setting the lowest-ever goal for U.S. refugee admissions, allowing a maximum of only 7,500 refugees while dictating that the majority of the slots should be given to white South Africans. The figure is well below the 70,000 to 80,000 range used over the George W. Bush and Obama administrations and just a fraction of the 125,000 goal set under President Biden. The 7,500 goal also falls short of the 11,814 refugees admitted during the final year of the first Trump administration, then an all-time low.

Yee-HAAAAA! Perhaps you'll agree that a big part of the overall satisfaction is filling in that final box in your VJ timeline. I'm shifting your thread from the main US Citizenship forum to the Case Progress subforum. Post your passport, etc. experiences in the Passports, Etc. subforum! Those are satisfying to read.

Welcome to the forum! 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 I-751 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 wills may need to be redone.

A wonderful review of CDJ and the interview experience, from October 2025, is posted here:

Congratulations! And wonderful post -- you've added outstanding detail that will help others. I'll post a link to yours in the pinned CDJ thread in the Mexico/Latin/South America regional forum. Please create your VJ timeline! Also, if you haven't yet, post relevant portions of your experience in the Reviews section for CDJ.

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the "AOS from K Visas" main forum -- OP is at that stage. Bring your original marriage certificate, certainly. If you have a little extra, you can bring it. Unless instructions have changed (read them carefully and interpret them literally), little evidence is required. --- Advance thoughts: It's never too early to think about removing conditions on the green card.

This is our thread to list our Hallowe'en plans and stories -- what we're offering for the kids, how many visitors we end up with, how this compares with previous years, parties we attend, etc. Join in!
