'Trump Is A King!' Say People Freely Protesting In A Free Country U.S. — Thousands of free Americans gathered in cities across the country today to lament their lack of freedom by holding rallies while shouting "Trump is a king!" and exercising their right to freely protest in a free country. The downtrodden, oppressed, upper-middle-class populace in urban centers throughout the United States boldly made their voices heard to decry President Donald Trump as acting like an all-powerful monarch as they openly protested and displayed their liberties in the freest society on Earth. "Trump is a tyrant! He has taken away our freedoms!" cried Mable Mcclean, a 68-year-old bisexual Episcopalian priest and part-time slam poet.

Fascinating liveblog of the ongoing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` Israel: 'Tehran Is No Longer Immune' UPDATE: Top Khamenei Aide Killed; UPDATE: 'Large Scale Strikes' The gloves are off. The question may well be why they were on to begin with. In the breathtaking opening attack of the full-scale war between Israel and Iran, the IDF struck numerous targets with precision and multiplicity -- except the capital of Tehran. Aside from a a handful of carefully targeted strikes to take out military commanders, the IDF took care to avoid the densely populated capital, likely on the urging of the US. As a result, while the IDF decimated Iran's top military leadership and nuclear-weapons developers, they left the political structure unmolested within Tehran.

Welcome to the forum! Maybe the forms have changed to ask for (plural) citizenships since you filed the I-485. You can include the explanation letter with the N-400 just as you've told us above, and it would be mandatory to volunteer this "new" information first thing at your naturalization interview. Proactive corrections are appreciated, necessary, and signs of your truthfulness in disclosure. Presumably, you've already filed your I-751 and now hold your permanent green card.

It's up to you. Situations can change unexpectedly, such as not currently needing to work... and, you might become quite bored if the GC takes its usual long time to arrive. If EAD comes earliest, it serves as proof of your legal residence. (After you apply for AOS, your official status is "applicant for adjustment," or, more simply, "adjustment applicant.) These factors are food for thought.

I had a buddy who retired off the 727 at United Airlines. In 2000 or so, I asked him whether he preferred the above engines or Pratt & Whitney. He mused, muttered, "Not a whole lot of difference," and finally concluded, "I like General Electric engines the best." I don't remember if he elaborated. I wonder now whether engine quality has declined since then.

"Sir, thank you for asking, but this has been adjudicated and resolved already, and it would upset me greatly to reopen the wounds, and I hope you can understand this and show me some mercy as i try to move beyond it."

See the comparison, as compiled by our fine member Crazy Cat: K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status (I-485, I-131, I-765) required.
