You can bring the previous one along, but I'm willing to bet cash money that they won't ask for it.

1. They misspelled MECKLENBURG right off the bat. 2. No way that shrewish hag is as young as 43. 3. Who will therapize the therapist?

Better get used to it. It's the only alternative to a 64-pitch headline of "NEWS SHORTAGE GRIPS NATION"?

No good deed goes unpunished, or untaxed. Unclear if this is all state property tax or some is county or municipal. If this couple has a Republican state representative, he/she might try to help; if the increase (or part of it) is county, maybe appeal to the local Appraisal District.

P_P, this is correct. If you have further questions, please pick one of your existing threads and post them there.

Thinking again about the delinquent time of filing, consider relevant ideas presented in this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/562879-cbp-at-tsa-airport-checkpoints-why-theyre-there-how-best-to-handle/

Maybe (others can overrule this) you can put "applicant for Adjustment," or, more concisely, "Adjustment applicant." This is what a lawyer told me Mrs. T-B.'s status was, but we were within the 90 days. They expired at port of entry. The I-94s expired. Again, others may disagree, but I wouldn't draw attention to the delinquent time of filing.

That's superb! Congratulations!

Glom onto every little crumb of happiness that you can. Fingers crossed for you.

A couple of overly political posts have been removed -- the Current Events forum is more appropriate for those.

Thread is shifted from the CR-1 Process forum to the Case Progress subforum.

Superb -- you must feel great! Thanks for returning to let us know. Be sure to update your VJ timeline, if you haven't already.

I'd bet cash money on this. The local carriers know exactly where and who everyone on their route is.

Congratulations! Tell me if you agree: Amidst all the excitement and good occurrences, a distinctly satisfying feeling is to update your VJ timeline with that final Naturalization Date entry.

Addendum to Thrilling Monday report, see in addition man: Movie night Part II involved another Better Call Saul episode, watch Two Guys man. Two more bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. This put us within Many (2+1) bowls of breaking the all-time weekly record, si man. Zero mutual interest in attempting this, overstuffed Two Guys and oh well man.

Remembering the Truth behind Columbus Day [...] Good for Trump for caring about and wanting to reinstate Columbus. It'd be even better if we took this occasion to remember why Columbus sailed west in the first place. Although the Fake History we were all taught in school claims it was to "find spices," the reality is that he did so to circumnavigate and fight Muslims.

Interesting insights from an insider about how it'll be tough for Tish to defend herself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Untitled post on X] Not trying to make a political point here. I spent years as a mortgage banker at Quicken Loans (now Rocket Mortgage), the number one mortgage lender in the country, before I ever went to law school. So when I see stories like this, I look at them a little differently. Here's the deal. How you classify a property as a primary, secondary, or investment home changes everything about the loan. The down payment, the interest rate, the underwriting, all of it. [...] https://x.com/SMB_Attorney/status/1976613983785267214

This one is being cited elsewhere. Good reading. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Israel-Gaza peace deal sounds good for Hamas, but is good for Israel UPDATED I've been chewing over the Trump peace deal between Israel and Gaza and have concluded that it's probably as good as anything is going to be in today's climate. Israel could have achieved a complete military victory, but doing so would cause three problems that the Israeli people will not accept: the death of the remaining hostages, more military deaths, and world opprobrium at a potentially unsurvivable level. Given that, the deal is as good an offramp as Israel can get. To understand the deal, one must understand the war. For Muslims and their leftist allies in the West, the war didn't start on October 7, 2023. Instead, it started [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/10/the_israel_gaza_peace_deal_sounds_good_for_hamas_but_is_good_for_israel.html

Katie Porter targeted 'softer spoken’' underlings for abuse, was 'downright mean', ex-staffer warns voters Katie Porter was exposed for berating a staffer and throwing a tantrum during an interview in two video clips this week. And the California governor candidate is even worse when cameras aren't rolling, one ex-staffer told The Post Friday. One of the lawyer and politician's cruelest tactics is dehumanizing her young underlings by referring to them in the third person — while in their presence.

Jonathan Turley. This clown is even more whacko than Jasmine Crockett et al. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The left's most fervent, and most wrong, attack dog: NY's Rep. Dan Goldman In Federalist No. 51, James Madison famously wrote that "ambition must be made to counteract ambition." He believed that members of each branch of government would jealously protect their own institutions from the other branches. Of course, Madison never met Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY). Goldman is an example of how the wrong type of ambition can destroy Congress if it becomes widespread among members. This week, both Republican and Democratic members raised alarm over the disclosure that special counsel Jack Smith tracked the telephone calls by members of both houses of Congress. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) stated, "On the surface of it, it would strike me as a significant invasion of the right of senators to conduct their jobs, so this is something that needs urgent follow-up." But one member leaped to dismiss such institutional concerns as much ado about nothing. Goldman attacked the victims as legitimate targets to help "confirm Trump's effort to overturn the election." Goldman has long been viewed as the face of rage politics in Washington. He often uses hearings to attack witnesses and political opponents. His signature style involves heaping insults on witnesses and then immediately "reclaiming his time" to prevent them from answering his accusations.

Yes. The stamp inside the passport serves as a green card until the physical one arrives. And welcome to participating in the forum!

Well, maybe new USCIS leadership is doing different things, or tinkering with processes. Your time will come. Keep the faith.

Since Day One. I wish that one were "AfSup" or something distinctive. However, that ship has sailed.

Congratulations!
