Interesting, Bro B man. Ecus rarely eat canned stuff, and they throw it out as bad on the FIRST day of the month of "expiration/best by," sigh man. Also, every Ecu chica must own a minimum of Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 -2-2-2-1) purses, man.

Wonderful -- thanks for the happy update.

Bro Lance-Skywalker, this is a repeat request for where you heard this rule.

Welcome to the forum! Folks should be along to help you.

Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man. ------- Thrilling (?!) Wednesday report, see man: Mini-B. actually arose and downstaired himself early, mirabile dictu man. His breakfast & prep were unrushed and pleasant, imagine that man. By request, we bought him an app that limits his screen time unless he exercises, ??? man. In early returns, it seems to be working and he likes it, not a day too soon man. Breakfast/lunch was onecan of beef stew, ingest we man. We spent all morning & early afternoon waiting for dryer-delivery, cool heels we man. Deliverers showed up half an hour later than promised, go figure man. We asked them to test power in our electrical outlet, uneasy we man. Their test showed an adequate Many00 volts, so there's that man. However, new dryer wouldn't energize, man. Deliverers retested all fuses in back of new dryer, all OK man. We agreed to stop there so that we could caucus with an electrician, we man. We aysheepily researched & contacted local electricians, oh great man. One sent their man out within 2 hours, glory be man. He detected no "ground" in the Many00-V outlet, diagnose further he man. In short (no pun man), we would have to cut through drywall to install a new ground, man. This would cost $Many,000, man. A gas dryer would completely sidestep the problem, oh great man. Fee for visit, diagnosis, and breaker-box work was $Many ($2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 -2-2-2), man. Guy found Many (2+1) things out of code with our breaker box, ignore for now we man. These will cost $Many00 to fix, we man. We researched gas dryers and potential vendors, and assisted by ChatGPT we man. No refurbish place had any in our necessary style, man. We finally bought a Whirlpool at Worst Buy on slight discount, sigh man. It will be delivered sometime Friday, probably hose ES-ing man. We expect refurb place to refund our purchase of electric dryer, retrieval day uncertain man. Finally retrieved Mini-B. from ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, exhausted we man. Din-din was pork & beans, chicken tenders + honey mustard, and r'br, ingest Two Guys man. We consumed the entire large bag of tenders, thoroughly ingest Two Guys man. Mini-B. wanted to game and we wanted to siesta, mutually compatible goals man. We did not zzz deeply but probably zzz'd some, semi-zzz we man. Mini-B. embedded himself far earlier than usual, maybe up-growing wee man man. We have compiled the materials necessary for the HOA showdown on Thursday, case of the piles we man. Mama T-B.'s long-term care policies finally paid off, took them longer than half a year to react man. Mama T-B. actually rather chipper about thi$ circum$tance, $i man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Must itinerary ESs/GSs for Fri.-Sat., unknown how many we can attend man. Doc caucus to shoot up our hip with meat-tenderizer Thursday afternoon, shoot us now man. HOA caucus in eve, OK Corral possible man. And that was/is our thrilling Wednesday, report we man.

Folks, please remember that political opinions belong in the Current Events forum.

And is this DHS official now guilty of a HIPAA violation?

Let's not freak out or go entirely aysheep. Often, such news reports are written and edited by those unfamiliar with immigration and visas. They often leave out key information that makes a big difference. Be patient until everything becomes clearer.

We'd like to hear your experiences. Well, naturally! And so are we, for you. An overlooked bit of satisfaction is finally filling in that final box in our VJ timeline.

Wonderful!

Yee-HAAAAA! That, of course, is Texan for "Wonderful!"

The hardest part of this entire process is the waiting. Hang in there. Keep the faith. Distract yourself, such as with violent physical exercise.

A noncontributory post has been removed.

True; however, for many years and in many reports, we find that the reporters (and, by extension, their editors) lack the knowledge sufficient to inform us, an audience concerned with and immersed in details. The media people don't know what they don't know. Maybe USCIS, the Dept. of State, or both will produce statements that we can rely on.

RIP. He largely got a raw deal. Many (most) of his Dilbert things were spot-on and hilarious.

Welcome, Patrick!

And it's already time for our Wednesday Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== PENGUIN SIZE A man walked into a bar, ordered a bourbon, and drank it in a single gulp. "How big is a penguin?" he asked the bartender. The bartender said, "Around 18 inches." The man ordered a double bourbon, gulped it down, and asked. "What's the biggest a penguin can ever be?" The bartender frowned. "Three feet, maybe an inch or two more." The man ordered another double bourbon and gulped it down even more quickly. He sighed, "I may have run over a nun."

Any objections to these points? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Europe Should Be Begging Trump to Buy Greenland [...] Trump's latest quip that Greenland's defense is "two dog sleds" has the global liberal media tripping over itself to "fact-check" this obvious hyperbole and declare Trump an evil imperialist. But Trump is only highlighting a glaring security lapse in what is fast becoming one of the most important regions on the planet. It doesn't require anything more than basic common sense to understand that Denmark, Europe, the United States, and the entire free world would be better off if Washington, rather than Copenhagen, took the lead on defending Greenland. The idea of the United States purchasing Greenland is hardly some wild brainstorm cooked up on social media. [...] https://amac.us/newsline/politics/europe-should-be-begging-trump-to-buy-greenland/

Good for you for doing your research.

How frustrating! I've not heard of a requirement for health insurance -- holy mackerel. To clarify, is it the Bermuda consulate that's telling you of this need for insurance? If so, did they give her a 221(g) paper? Does the paper cite the precise code for the applicable statute? 1. HR departments sometimes contain the dregs of the company. Find superior officers and go up the chain. 2. Call a large insurer's corporate headquarters and find an executive who can advise you. Look on their website first to identify potential people. This will narrow down your time on hold and talking to innocently clueless support staff. 3. Contact your U.S. Congressman's office. They can research the statute and perhaps try to influence the consulate. Go to the Congressman's official website and look for a form ("release" or "authorization" of some kind) that gives their office your permission to intercede on your behalf. Given the nature of your situation, I'd telephone the office in Washington, DC and ask for the Immigration Liaison. If the insurance requirement is brand-spanking-new or sounds curious, or if the C.'s office can't influence the consulate (highly likely), the C.'s office might be able to give you the name of the Section Chief of the Immigrant Visa Unit at the consulate. Send an e-mail to the consulate with "Att'n. Section Chief [name]" as the Subject line, give your wife's name and A#, describe the problem and your good-faith efforts, and ask for his advice or outright approval. Note that Congressmen themselves can't directly contact consulates because of Ethics rules; they must delegate this to staff. You're urged to report back to us here -- if this is indeed some new policy, we'll need every detail of your experience and what you learn.

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

Scintillating Tuesday repartee, yawn man. ----- Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: Mini-B. resolved to awaken/prep earlier, resolute wee man. It didn't happen, no man. We had to yell yet again, roust carcass wee man man. He did make the skoolbus, mirabile dictu man. Miu was so mellow as to be almost comatose, major-mellow miu man. We immediately attempted Siesta #1, try to zzz we man. We dozed for maybe only a couple of minutes, exhausted we man man. Knocked another item off Mama T-B.'s list, off-knock we man. Mama T-B. then called for our service, comply we man. We arrived just in time for lunch, man. We consumed chicken parm, peas, and (?) couscous, ingest we man. After service to Mama T-B., we took to the casa Many (2+1) half-sandwiches, ingest we man. This enabled Siesta #2, did NOT want to awaken we man man. Din-din was nuked burnt pork ends (Aldi), air-fried tater tots (Aldi), and r'br, ingest Two Guys man. Movie night was most of an NBA game, watch Two Guys man.
