It is Sunday, and here is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== FISHING DRUNK A drunk ice fisherman drilled a hole in the ice and peered into it. As he did so, a loud voice from above said, "There are no fish down there." The fisherman walked several yards away and drilled another hole. As he peered into it, he again heard a voice say, "There are no fish down there." He walked about 20 yards away and drilled another hole. Once again, the voice said, "There are NO FISH down there!" The fisherman looked up to the sky and asked, "God, is that you?" "No, you idiot," said the voice. "I'm the skating-rink manager."

Thread is shifted from the "AOS from K Visas" Case Progress subforum to the main Process forum.

Avoid overthinking the AOS process. Read instructions carefully, interpret them literally, and answer/respond completely and honestly. Just file the I-485 as soon as you marry. Get multiple copies of your marriage certificate. The brand-new Mrs. T-B. & I got permission from our officiant to hand-carry the signed marriage license to the courthouse. We made a beeline there. The clerk said that no one had ever requested as many as 7 certificates, but she prepared them as we waited. We then immediately included one in the I-485 package. You should begin now to collect information for ROC (Removing Conditions). Take everything that comes to you in the mail or from other sources, and throw it into a box. Create a special document folder on your computer for online material. Come ROC time, you'll have plenty of evidence to pick from. In addition (actually, before anything), shop for a lawyer who can draft wills, medical & financial powers of attorney, and similar estate documents. These make superlative evidence for ROC, and they're even more crucial to have in "life." Remember that if you move from one U.S. state to another, your will may need to be redone.

To keep the terminology precise, you would file the I-129F petition, which, if approved, would enable her to apply for the K-1 visa. If you were married, you'd file the I-130 petition, which, if approved, would enable her to apply for the CR-1 visa.

This thread has been informative to many, and we all thank you for your diligence in updating it. Congratulations on your successes, especially in getting the dreaded SSN uneventfully. We look forward to your AOS posts.

Wherever Texas is, mam ma'am.

Mini-Bone's skool won't even assign much take-home homework for this very reason; they do it in class. The Skool District is reportedly searching for ways to counteract or at least detect the use of AI in skoolwork.

I heard this on NBC Nightly News (I think their "good news" ending story). Thanks for posting it.

Trump Unveils Giant Cannon For Faster, More Entertaining Deportations WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Trump delighted the nation this week, unveiling plans for a giant cannon that he hopes will facilitate faster, more entertaining deportations. "We've got to make our country safe again, and the best way to do that is with a giant cannon capable of firing them out of the country," said Trump. "I want a circus one. Just tremendous what those circus freaks can do. Can you believe they have a man who tames lions? I told them there's no way you can tame a lion, but he did it. Anyway, cannons. We're gonna have so many of them." [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/trump-unveils-giant-cannon-for-faster-more-entertaining-deportations

Getting Out Of Hand? Newsom Orders Aide To Shoot Off His Ear SACRAMENTO, CA — Sources close to Gavin Newsom say that the governor's Trump imitations may be getting a little out of hand after Newsom ordered an aide to shoot off part of his ear.

Calm down, Charles... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meet Hank, The Autistic Chimpanzee Who Runs Gavin Newsom's X Account SAN DIEGO, CA — In a small corner of the San Diego Zoo's chimpanzee exhibit lies a modest laptop computer that an autistic chimp named Hank uses to run Governor Gavin Newsom's X account. Hank has worked for Newsom for years, overseeing numerous strategic shifts in the governor's messaging, including suddenly posting in all caps or picking fights with popular figures like Donald Trump because he perceives them as threatening his status as the alpha ape. All of Hank's hard work recently paid off when Newsom promoted Hank to running all of his social media accounts full time. "I don't think of myself as special. I'm like any other chimp," said Hank.
