Thread is moved from the ROC forum to the Social Security Numbers subforum -- topic is chiefly about SSN.

Keep the faith, everyone. It will happen.

What a great feeling!

Finally, at this part of the process, this is "good" tension.

Proven again -- better to take stuff (taxes) and not need it. Congratulations, and what a great result for you.

This straightforward piece skewers the whiners. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The New York Times misfires when it attacks Trump's use of the DHS The Trump administration has been using all available resources to track down and then imprison or deport the "worst of the worst" illegal aliens in America, the ones whose criminality extends beyond living illegally in this country. However, for the New York Times, there's a problem with Trump's efforts to make America safer: He's using DHS resources, which Congress intended to be used...to make America safer. And if you think that's nonsense, you're right, but it's the Times, not I, that's nonsensical. When Trump took office, he turned the DHS loose on illegal aliens who've engaged in murder, rape, drug dealing, sex trafficking, pedophilia, and other vile and violent crimes. By mid-March 2025, ICE had already arrested staggering numbers of criminals: [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/11/the_new_york_times_misfires_when_it_attacks_trump_s_use_of_the_dhs.html

Here it all is. ~~~~~~~~~~~ FBI, Secret Service butchered the Thomas Crooks case and invited conspiracies – we deserve the truth [...] The president demanded answers months ago. A man was murdered. What is going on? Then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress after the July 13, 2024, attack that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks' online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology. A week later, Wray's deputy Paul Abbate told Congress that comments posted on one of Crooks' social media accounts "appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature."

VDH barbecues the greenies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reality Caught Up to 'Climate Change' [...] Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank. Everything from declining fertility to forest fires was ridiculously attributed to climate change. But the causes of both demographic crises and charred landscapes were more likely the result of new affluent lifestyles that saw child-rearing as too expensive and time-consuming, and misguided forest policies or underfunded firefighting. Yet reality has caught up with the near-religious climate change cult. [...] https://amgreatness.com/2025/11/17/reality-caught-up-to-climate-change/

Awful. Want to merge this into our "Illegals" thread?

Thank you for your detailed report. Your reaction (post-traumatic stress) is probably typical for VAWA recipients. Even approved claims? Do you have a reference for your statement? If so, it will be highly valuable to have.

1. Relax. 2. This is the easiest part of the entire process. 3. You'll feel like an eagle soaring through the sky when you're finished. 4. A big part of the great feeling is updating your VJ timeline with this penultimate step. 5. See (1.).

I echo OldUser... and your clarification means that it's great news for you.

Fingers crossed. Let us know.

Thread is moved from the USCIS Service Centers forum to the US Citizenship Case Progress subforum. Unsure about San Antonio. Maybe someone can comment. Really sorry to hear this news, and you're certainly feeling deflated. Have faith that it will happen.

Congratulations!

It might be something ridiculously simple, such as a missing signature or unfilled-in blank. Wait for the letter. If it's a complex issue and you want our help, we'll need to see the precise wording, with all personal identification and case numbers masked.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: Our concept of Sunday is not to leave the casa, conceive we man. On this Sunday, we had to leave the casa Many (2+1) -- si man, Many (2+1) -- times, si man. The first leaving was to retrieve a FedEx that had been sitting at Mama T-B.'s old casa since Manyvember Many'rd -- si man, Manyvember Many'rd -- until someone thought to notify us, and man. Fortunately, the response deadline could still be comfortably met, still no excuse man. On the way from this retrieval, we procured lunch, procure we man. Lunch was from Subway*, ingest we man. *WUOC + gift card, F$WM Someone then came to our casa to buy a Mama T-B. item, Craigslist man. We then watched the first part of the NFL game, boring man. We had asked ex-Mrs.-T-B. to swing by to help us with something quick and to take stuff to Ecu for Mama-ex-Mrs.-T-B., ask we man. Of course, ex-Mrs.-T-B. said, "Come at 1 to bring your stuff and retrieve Mini-B., si man. My Uber leaves at 2, si man." This was our second casa-leaving, man.

Must service mini-miu once or twice on Monday, service mini-miu we man man. And that was/is our thrilling and zzz-less Sunday, report we man.

We envision that someone needs his medications drastically adjusted, hallucinations man.

Does this mean "no letter about biometrics had arrived" or "a letter arrived, saying that no biometrics are needed"? I perceived the latter, whereas OldUser seems to have perceived the former.

Happy to hear it! What a great feeling!

What a great end (almost) to this long process -- you deserve to feel great. Thanks also for your detailed report, which is of value to many.

Shoe Manufacturers Rush To Design New Nickel Loafers U.S. — With the penny no longer being minted, shoe manufacturers announced that they were working hard to replace the old penny loafer slip-on shoe design with an exciting new nickel loafer. Penny loafers got their name from teenagers in the 1950s who placed pennies in the leather slots stitched across the saddle of the shoes. But with pennies now obsolete, shoe companies were rushing to design the world's first nickel loafer. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/shoe-manufacturers-rush-to-design-new-nickel-loafers

Federal Judge Overturns Solomon's Verdict; Baby To Be Cut In Two JERUSALEM — What had been hailed as one of the wisest decisions of all time was declared null and void today, as a federal judge overturned King Solomon's verdict and ordered a baby from a recent maternity dispute to be cut in two. People throughout Israel had praised the king for his shrewd judgment in the case, in which two women each claimed to be the baby boy's rightful mother. Solomon had wisely suggested that the woman who was more willing to give up her rights to the child than see him come to harm was the baby's true mother, but a federal judge ruled that the decision was not legal under Israel's constitution and that the baby must be chopped in half.
