You should probe deeply and ask your fiancée to recall every question asked and every answer given. As others say, don't bother fighting this denial, and strongly consider marrying and filing the I-130. Rather than use a sloppy abogado again, consider Platinum Immigration Services (see "Ask A Pro ==> VJ Partners" at top of any VisaJourney page). They're thorough and never make mistakes.

It's undeniable that our jokes lead to approvals and positive news (that is, if correlation = causation). Accordingly, here is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================ GETTING THE WIFE'S TEST RESULTS Mr. Smith went to the doctor's office to collect his wife's lab results. The lab technician said to him, "I'm sorry, sir, but there has been a mix-up, and we have a problem. When we sent your wife's samples to the lab, the samples from another Mrs. Smith were sent as well, and we are now uncertain which one is your wife's. Frankly, that's either bad or terrible." "What do you mean?" asked Mr. Smith. "Well, one Mrs. Smith has tested positive for Alzheimer's disease, and the other for venereal disease. We can't tell which is your wife." "That's terrible! Can we do the test over?" asked Mr. Smith. "Normally, yes. But you have an HMO, and they won't pay for these expensive tests more than once." "So what am I supposed to do now?" "The HMO recommends that you drop your wife off in the middle of town. If she finds her way home, don't sleep with her!"

Just Leave the Country Then: Seattle Dance Convention Says American Flag Uniforms Are 'Triggering' The list of things that offend leftists is nearly infinite. And when it comes to the Pacific Northwest, it gets even worse. Recently, Seattle even announced that we should all feel bad about nice, sunny days in the spring. But the last time we checked, Seattle was still part of the United States (unfortunately). And in the United States, we have one national flag that represents every citizen who lives here. Old Glory should be a symbol of national pride and unity, but not in Seattle. In the Emerald City, the Stars and Stripes are 'triggering' and will get you banned from a dance convention.

Bidementia will duly cave to this.

Read the replies to THIS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NPR Chief Executive Says It Was 'Profoundly Disrespectful' to Out Network's Bias Earlier this week, The Free Press published a piece by Uri Berliner, a 25-year veteran of NPR, who said that the network had gone from liberal-leaning to straight-up activism, trying to damage Donald Trump's presidency and "find anything we could to harm him." The first person NPR sent out to do damage control, ironically, was the same guy who wrote the piece explaining why NPR wouldn't be covering the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was just a "distraction." Berliner admitted they ignored the story to help the Biden campaign. Now NPR chief executive Katherine Maher has come out with a statement addressing the "hurtful" piece.

More Biden Confusion on Whether He Would Speak on Iran and Israel, but the Answer Is Typical Team Biden As I wrote earlier, it was hard to believe that in the face of the threat of an attack on Israel from Iran, Joe Biden insisted on going to vacation to his beach house. I don't know what it is that they do for him there, but Biden must be pretty desperate for it--or in complete disregard for everything important--when he behaves that way.

Not possible, I don't think, and even if so, it would be very transitory. Furthermore, Jihadist Muslims view passivity as weakness and a rationale for further attacks. See here: ~~~~~~~~ Iranians, Palestinians Celebrate on Streets After Iran's Israel Attack—but the Hangover May Be Rough [...] for Iranians and Palestinians, it was time to gloat.

The Iranians almost destroyed the third-holiest site in Islam. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WATCH: US and Israel Intercept 'Dozens' Drones/Missiles, Including Over Temple Mount The response to the ongoing attack on Israel is underway. This is the first time that Iran has fired on Israel from its own territory proper, so that's a bad progression in the direction of more direct involvement. U.S. forces in the area have reportedly shot down "dozens" of drones targeting Israel. They've also reportedly taken out missiles, as well.

Compare this with Bidementia, who ran off to Delaware before being called back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's What Trump Had to Say About Iran's Attack on Israel [...] "We send our absolute support to everyone in harm's way," the former president continued. "This is an attack that would not have happened and to think about what we have to go through and the things we've put up with, with the border, with no energy independence, with all electric cars…but we will return the world to peace through strength and it'll happen very quickly. I will revive American strength abroad and we will restore American strength at home. We were respected four years ago all over the world. Today we are considered a joke. It's not gonna be for long, believe me, it's not going to be for long." [...]

Sidebar: I remember (and at least Charles probably does, too) about 10 to 12 years ago when we had those two radical Palestinian chicks in this forum. Discussions here would not have been civil at all if they were still around.

I might have misinterpreted this, but I thought they said the above after the drones were launched, and despite their statement subsequently launched cruise missiles.

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.

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.

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.
