Thread is moved from the K-1 Case Progress subforum to the Russia/Ukraine/Belarus regional forum, where multiple threads on this topic can be found. --- Maxwell, it's indeed up to you -- Jerusalem and Almaty are two possibilities that have worked for others.

That's OK -- everybody starts new! Good luck with your case.

It's because if the I-130/CR-1 path had been followed, the beneficiary would be qualified for U.S. employment the instant he/she was permitted U.S. entry, versus the many months necessary to gain an EAD via the K-1 path.

We don't use our stovetop, no mam ma'am. And it would be an extra pot to clean, si and see and mam ma'am.

If asked, explain that the idea occurred to you, you should've done it long ago, and you're relieved at the peace of mind that your new Durable (or Financial) and Medical powers of attorney give you. Draft one of each for the two of you, total of four documents. Look on your state's website for PoA templates valid in your state. These forms are crucial to have in "life."

As is Rhododendron status unless evidence proves otherwise.

Following this, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna unleashed the anger that many feel against Democrats for encouraging so much hatred against conservatives. Luna is tired of pretending Democrats don't hate our country and anyone who disagrees with them. "I am done with the rhetoric this rotten House and corrupt media has caused," she declared.

I think it's worthwhile for the OP's friend to consult an attorney or two. Many attorneys offer a free 30-minute (or similar) consultation, so he can get multiple opinions on his precise exposure and the best course(s) of action.

It's frustrating. This process is not rapid, efficient, or pleasant. But it will happen. I suggest involving the immigration liaison at your U.S. Congressman's office. There's a simple form to fill out that authorizes the office to inquire on your behalf. No sense in suffering alone when you have a resource available to at least learn your status, if not pry the approval loose.

Do the above and feel better about things.

I just posted one in the "Trump Assassination Attempts" thread. Secret Service hosed their duty again. Charlie Kirk may be a warm-up for the "big prize"...

Charlie Kirk may have been a warm-up for their big prize... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Secret Service Missed Glock in Bag at Trump Golf Course White House officials expressed confidence in the Secret Service's abilities to protect President Trump hours before rowdy protesters stood just a few feet away from Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, screaming "Free D.C.! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!" The outburst occurred Tuesday night inside Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, a swanky D.C. restaurant a block and a half from the White House. The pro-Hamas far-left Code Pink demonstrators held Palestinian flags and unfurled smaller banners disrupting Trump's and his entourage's arrival for the president's first dining out experience in a D.C. restaurant since his second term began in January. Trump was captured on video, visibly angry, asking for protesters to be removed from the restaurant. "C'mon, c'mon," the president said, waving his hand. An unidentified male voice is then heard prodding the protesters, "Let's go, let's go." Among those who accompanied POTUS to the restaurant: White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, presidential press secretary Karoline Leavitt, and top White House aides Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, James Blair, and James Braid. Videos of the protesters shouting at Trump for more than 30 seconds from just steps away before Secret Service led the group out of the restaurant sparked angry rebukes from the MAGA faithful. "Where the hell is the @SecretService?" far-right activist Laura Loomer demanded in an X.com post. "How did they get within inches of him? This is insane. Palestinian activists in DC go around shooting people. How did this happen!? Unacceptable!" Newsmax host Todd Starnes also demanded to know how the Secret Service allowed "a bunch of pro-Hamas protesters" to access the restaurant Trump chose for his first dining out experience in D.C. this year.
