Great observation by CC. These filters enable the Moderation team to investigate new accounts and posters with even more attention, in turn enabling us to nuke those as required. Time for a gentle reminder: We certainly appreciate reports of spammers that you see before we do. When one spammer posts multiple times, please report only ONE spam post from that spammer. We ban spammers, not posts, meaning that once we ban a spammer, all of his posts then disappear. It's not necessary to report every spam post made by one spammer. Thanks for your continuing help!

With everything in this process, the firm rule is to read carefully, interpret literally, and respond completely & accurately. We can't say whether you'll get an RFE; however, you might reconsider your involvement with this lawyer before he genuinely hoses anything else.

Back-up cameras were a great addition, but that's absolutely all. Hoorah re the below. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Administration Kills the Most Annoying Car Feature Obama Forced on Drivers The Trump administration is eliminating Obama-era off-cycle credits that incentivized automakers to install automatic start-stop technology in vehicles, effectively killing what many drivers consider one of the most annoying features of newer models. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin highlighted the victory on Wednesday — building on the February repeal of the 2009 Endangerment Finding — while sharing a Wall Street Journal article highlighting drivers celebrating 'the demise of the most hated feature in their cars.'

Fascinating insights, and see Iran's 10-point demand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How China helped seal Trump's 11th-hour Iran truce [...] As the clock ticked, even Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said: "Only the president knows where things stand and what he will do." Behind the scenes, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the president's peace envoys, as well as JD Vance, the vice-president, were working furiously alongside some of Pakistan's top diplomats to find a solution. Mr Witkoff is said to have a direct channel of communication with Iranian officials including Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister. But on the other side, another superpower was talking to Iran. China had been pushing for an end to the conflict for weeks, with Wang Yi, its foreign minister, engaging in dozens of conversations with his counterparts across the Middle East as well as in Russia. According to China's foreign ministry, Mr Wang made a total of 26 phone calls with "parties including Iran, Israel, Russia and the Gulf states". Ultimately, it was China that nudged Tehran over the line. [...] https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/11th-hour-us-iran-ceasefire-031843370.html

This makes sense, and a good link to "Foreign Policy" is included. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Confounds Critics Again President Donald Trump has once again confounded his many critics by agreeing to a two-week ceasefire in the war against Iran, after threatening to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age and end a civilization. On the right, former Trump supporter and former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said that Trump had gone "insane." Andrew Day in The American Conservative suggested that Trump might use nuclear weapons against Iran. Bruce Fein characterized Trump's attacks on Iran as "unconstitutional" and "criminal." Steven Simon in Responsible Statecraft accused Trump of threatening genocide in Iran. On the left, Sen. Chuck Schumer said [...] https://spectator.org/trump-confounds-critics-again/

Welcome, but you apparently posted in 2018: https://www.visajourney.com/profile/302237-sluchie88/content/?type=forums_topic&change_section=1 Congratulations! For your I-129F petition, more precisely (if you remain unmarried; if you marry, it's the I-130 petition -- superior in most ways). The visa application comes later, after petition approval. Include an ultrasound image (one) if you wish, but don't expect it to expedite your process: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/671721-no-pregnancy-is-not-grounds-to-expedite-your-process/ Time spent together in person is the chief factor in verifying a bona fide relationship. Things might take longer than that. Be 100% rock-solid sure that your fiancée/wife will be eligible to emigrate to the U.S. in terms of evidence, history, and circumstance. Ho Chi Minh City (not Hanoi) is not a consulate to trifle with. Do massive reading in the Vietnam regional forum here for requirements and standards. Good luck to you!

It is indeed. Congratulations!

Easy to do. Don't lose sleep over it.

Gee -- three jokes in a row, what with Wednesday's Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== OBSERVATIONS If a liar's pants really did catch fire, watching the news would be a lot more fun! I started my day with two eggs for breakfast. They were Cadbury eggs, but whatever. The diet plan said "two eggs," so let's not get picky. I went to a bookstore and saw a book titled "How to Solve 50% of Your Problems." So I bought two. I'd probably be a morning person if days all started at noon.

France Questions How Rescue Mission Considered A Success When No One Surrendered To The Nazis PARIS — On Monday, French officials questioned how the United States could classify the airman rescue mission a success when no one surrendered to the Nazis. The dramatic rescue mission featured dozens of warplanes keeping Iranian forces at bay as SEAL Team 6 extracted the wounded airman from a mountain crevice after he was located by the CIA. Yet, through the entire course of the mission, not a single soldier surrendered to the Nazis. "The silly Americans, trying to play it off as some great success," chuckled French President Emmanuel Macron.
