And, almost without doubt, an AWFL.

Indeed. What an idiot. Exactly.

Different circumstances for different folks. If asked, answer simply with brief reasoning.

Misspelling in thread title has been corrected. The ICE agent was struck by the vehicle (per reverse-angle video). Justified shooting.

What a stuffed-shirt, clueless clown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mamdani Forced to Make Humiliating Admission After Pressed on 'Briefing' Claim About Maduro Capture [...] "I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City," Mamdani bizarrely tweeted at the time. "Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law." Mamdani's remarks left many perplexed, and social media mockery soon ensued. Why on earth would the Trump administration, especially members of the national security team, "brief" Mamdani on anything of this nature, let alone a top secret foreign operation - and especially one that involved taking one of Mamdani's powerful socialist comrades into custody? It sounded like a lie told by someone with a highly inflated sense of self-importance, and as it turns out, that's exactly what it was, as Mamdani was forced to admit during a presser this week when asked about it by a reporter: [...] https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2026/01/07/humiliation-for-zohran-mamdani-over-claim-of-briefing-on-venezulea-operation-n2197860

Corn or flour? And does she have Rhododendron status?

These are great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CBS Evening News Features AI Marco Rubio Memes, Saluting Him as the Ultimate Florida Man With renewed buzz about the United States buying (not invading) Greenland, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been given another title — governor of Greenland. This comes directly on the heels of his being appointed as the next president of Venezuela. CBS News actually showed a sense of humor with a piece on all of the AI memes of Rubio going around X, dubbing him "the ultimate Florida man."

There ya go. What, you waited till the very end of the process to lose your nerve? Violent physical exercise is a great tonic and attitude-resetter.

Look at each reference. Note the earliest and latest estimates. Be pleased if your own case is handled by or before the earliest. If your case drags beyond the latest, consider involving your U.S. Congressman's office.

Done!

Super! Be sure to report on your experience.

Reread the notice to yourself (I used to do this slowly and aloud, to calm myself) to confirm the correct location. Maybe WPB is overloaded and they're sharing appointments with Kendall. I wouldn't concern myself with codes, footnotes/footers, etc. -- only what the literal instructions say.

Exactly. See previous page of thread:

Take that, leftists. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OOPS! New Poll of Venezuela's Neighbors Shows a SLIGHTLY Different Reaction to Maduro's Arrest Nicolas Maduro had barely been put into handcuffs a few days ago before leftists in America began protesting and demanding his release. We needn't tell anyone that most of those paid protesters shared a certain ... ahem ... paleness to their hue. Capitol Hill wasn't much better, with John Fetterman being just about the only Democrat who could see the water's edge and applaud the US military for the amazing operation they had pulled off. Naturally, the opinions of Venezuelans about the removal of a dictator who had destroyed their country were just a tad different from the woke AWFLs in Manhattan sipping their Starbucks as they screeched 'Stop the bombing!' (The 'bombing,' of course, had already stopped while they were still sleeping off their Franzia hangover.) But a new poll, taken in the immediate aftermath of the raid, shows [...] https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2026/01/07/oops-new-poll-of-venezuelas-neighbors-shows-a-slightly-different-reaction-to-maduros-arrest-n2423623

Yee-HAAAAA!

Everyone at some point probably thinks that USCIS is a bunch of evil sadists. Progress WILL occur -- have faith. Meanwhile, distract yourselves. Violent physical exercise is one way.

Wednesday means that it's time for our hilarious Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY I'd go on a diet, but that seems like an insult to the fine folks who make and distribute cheesecake, and I, for one, won't stand for that. My favorite day of the week to exercise will always be tomorrow.

I think that this is an exceptionally perceptive piece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's REALLY Next for Venezuela and What the MSM Gets Wrong [...] Marco Rubio summed it up when he appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday and said that "most of the 'experts' people have on television, I watch these experts and it's clown hour. These are people that have focused their entire career on the Middle East or some other part of the world because that's where all the action was. Very few of them know anything about Venezuela or the Western Hemisphere." So, here is what I can tell you about what's next for Venezuela: No one outside the White House knows. I don't know. You don't know. The loudest reporters, anchors, and pundits in the rest of the media don't know — even the ones with the fancy anonymous sources who claim to be insiders, even the ones with the big names who get all the attention. None of them know. I'd also be willing to bet that inside the White House, they [...] https://pjmedia.com/sarah-anderson/2026/01/06/whats-really-next-for-venezuela-n4947951

That's just about right...

Time spent together in person is the biggest support of a bona fide relationship. Be sure that the baby has a U.S. passport or appropriate travel authorization. It should help. USCIS cares only that you're both free, available, and of age to marry, and that you've met in person at least once in the 2 years before filing the I-129F petition. The consulate cares about bona fide relationship. Did you proceed to the interview phase, for the K-1 visa as you imply? Or had you not seen him in person within the 2 years before filing, and this is why USCIS denied your petition?

Key information is missing, because your explanations so far are clouding our understanding further. It would be extremely helpful if you'd attach copies of your denial letters (whether from USCIS or the consulate) so that we can see the precise reasons for your denials. Obscure names, case numbers, and other identifiable information.

Please clarify. Were you married but sent the I-129F petition instead of the I-130 -- twice? If true, then why? A lot of married couples (and even more fiancés) have no children. Having children isn't a prerequisite for anything at the petition or consular level, so it's unclear why having a child vs. not having one would be relevant. Please clarify.
