Good luck, and post again here so that others might learn.

Thrilling Saturday non-ES/GS report, see man: We did not eat before ES/GS-ing, no man. After our rounds, breakfast/lunch/din-din (at 2 p.m.) was at CiCi's 'Za buffet, si man. We consumed Many (2x2x2x2 +2+2+1) -- si man, Many (2x2x2x2 +2+2+1) -- slices, ingest we man. Most of these were 'roni, except for hamburger when the 'roni 'zas weren't out, we man. We expect this engorgement to have nice laxative properties, who knows precisely when man. (Independent of this, we do not look forward to weighing ourself tonight, uh-oh man.) Upon return to the casa, we serviced demanding miu and siesta'd, zzz we man. Party with the rubias later, digestive system permitting man. We forgot to buy root beer for Two Guys week, man.

Ah. OK. The situation may change by the time of your interview. The consulate itself might be unable to predict what will be going on then. Perhaps it's best to write to them to ask to be put on a mailing-list in case of changes to procedures.

President Biden's Narrative About the Formula Shortage Just Got Debunked While it was just one in the long list of crises mismanaged, created, or worsened by President Biden and his administration, the shortage of formula had wide-reaching impacts on vulnerable populations that left Americans scrambling to secure nutrition for their families. Making Biden's faltering response even worse are new revelations from the House Oversight Committee that the White House had advance knowledge — months of time — in which they could have taken the shortage seriously and worked to avert the worst of the crisis.

CBP Releases Shocking New Data On the Amount of Illegals Flown Into the U.S. Under Biden Customs Border and Protection released shocking new numbers on the staggering amount of illegal immigrants who have been flown into the United States under the Biden Administration. According to the data, the Biden Administration has flown 404,000 illegal immigrants into the country thanks to the Humanitarian Parole Program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. The program grants illegal immigrants two years of humanitarian parole in the U.S., allowing them to work American jobs. It is worth noting that the 404,000 illegal immigrants do not include those entering the U.S. through its southern border.

I wonder whether we should have a separate thread for this attack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iran attacks Israel: IDF warns that threat is ongoing, interceptions continue Sirens blared across Israel on Saturday night as hundreds of drones and missiles launched from Iran reached Israel. Drones and missiles were also reportedly launched from Yemen and other countries around the region. A seven-year-old girl from a Bedouin village near Arad was seriously wounded by the Iranian attack, according to Magen David Adom. Minor damage was caused to infrastructure at an IDF base in southern Israel during the attack as well, according to IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari. At 3:00 a.m., IDF Chief Spokesman Daniel Hagari said that Iran had launched a large-scale massive swarm of over 200 killer drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles toward Israel. "Together [with our partners], we are operating at this very moment. So far, we have intercepted a vast majority of missiles, attack drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles outside of Israel's border," he said.

Democrat Governors Promise They Will Do Everything In Their Power To Make Elections Appear Legitimate [...] With skepticism about the fairness and legitimacy of elections on the rise following questionable incidents in 2020 and 2022, Democrat leaders expressed a strong desire to make sure voters knew that great care was being taken to make it look like the 2024 elections were far less rigged than they will actually be.

Watch these short clips, and especially the 6-minute interview with the young lady. How refreshing to see genuine interaction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Girl Who Hugged Trump In Atlanta Is a Treasure Oh, my, gosh - I just want to eat her UP. Donald Trump walked into a Chik-Fil-A in Atlanta Wednesday to order some food (Karen said he'd been in town for a big fundraiser), and one of the most memorable campaign visits anywhere ever just exploded across the screens of the people who weren't so excited the forgot to film it. The girls at the counter were all as giddy as 4th graders, and Trump was in his element.

Say, Did You Hear About Hamas' Plan to Enslave the Jews? Did Hamas merely want to kick-start the statehood process with its barbaric rapes and murders on 1200-plus unarmed men, women, and children on October 7? Not according to a report from Haaretz last week. Hamas leaders had launched the attack expecting to trigger a calamitous and overwhelming conquest of Israel. In fact, they had such confidence in their war strategy that they had already divided Israel into cantons, assigned leadership to them, and made plans for its population under a new Islamist regime.

All: FYI, it looks like the OP ran into the maximum number of permissible first-day posts for a new member (necessary, given spammers, but frustrating for legitimate members, certainly).

(1.) and (2.) are correct -- but if the CBP agent checking her upon entry doesn't ask, avoid volunteering information. Answer only what is asked. (3.) is inaccurate. The K-1 and CR-1 visas now take approximately the same time, and CR-1 is far superior. Regarding (4.), there are countless threads in which the illegality of "entry with use of Tourist Visa, not leaving, and staying to adjust status" is discussed. Conversely, your plan -- she visits, you marry, she returns before her tourist visa expires, and you file the I-130 toward the CR-1 visa -- is completely fine. Depending on where she's from, multiple visits (she to you, you to her, meet in third country, or all) will help to build evidence for the eventual consular interview for the visa. The above answers are all consequent to years of posts containing the accumulated wisdom and experiences of hundreds of members here.

Brutal critique from within NPR proves it's a leftist-only zone Bashing National Public Radio's leftward bias is a favorite pastime of conservatives, especially since it is funded by taxpayer money, but critics received a boost this week from an unlikely source. Uri Berliner, a 25-year veteran of NPR who is now a senior business editor there, published a lengthy essay this week that was remarkable because it absolutely blasted his employer's approach to journalism. It was such a complete takedown that I found myself marveling, "He wrote this while he still works there?"

I may be wrong, but I interpreted the suggestion to mean that you or your current attorney should look for an immigration attorney in the U.S. who is either Korean himself (optimal) or is intimately familiar with Korean documents, and have that attorney write an explanatory letter to explain and confirm that the submitted documents are sufficient to satisfy USCIS's RFE. In this way, you needn't fire your current attorney and start all over; it's simply an additional step -- probably cheaper and certainly faster than filing a motion to reconsider, if you can simply reply again to the current RFE.

The word "Korean" was added to the thread title in hopes of attracting country-specific responses in the regional forum.

Even if they did, two choices remain: 1. By arguing, try to convince them that they're wrong (and risk batting your head against a wall); or 2. Show them, by means of the cited suggestion, that the documents are sufficient. They would chiefly be in the "Asia: East and Pacific" regional forum. However, the volume of specifically knowledgeable replies would probably be minimal. We'll move your thread to that forum; if you get few or no constructive replies, hit "report thread" and request that this thread be moved back to the "AOS from K Visas" Process forum.

Reasoning is above. You may re-create that response without the TOS violations and repost it. ^^ This is probably the most effective way around the hurdle.
