Y ma'am, both facilities need to be reported to the respective State Boards, si and sigh and outrageous man. Criminal charges are probably also in order, si man.

Thread is moved from the US Citizenship main forum to the Case Progress subforum.

And this.

File for divorce. Carry a copy of your divorce certificate with you during travel, to show CBP.

Kindly stated, there's a stark difference between "tolerant" and "doormat."

It depends on the case. What kind of waiver?

Thrilling (?) Sunday report, see man: We awoke prematurely feeling aysheep, stressed we man. We called neighborette who's a Physician's Assistant, PA she man. She said that randomly scoping facilities is exhausting and often fruitless, reason she man. She said to cull the workload by relying on Mama T-B.'s case manager, si man. She said that many options for care are available, si man. She also said that estate companies can buy furniture as a lot, didn't consider this we man. We felt less aysheep, si man. We called the hospital ward, call we man. A case manager almost immediately phoned us back, pronto man. She said that no discharge would occur until we're satisfied with a choice, si man. She, we, Mama T-B., palliative-care doc, & social worker will caucus on Monday, caucus we man. We felt less aysheep, si man. Breakfast for us was 2 hard-boiled eggs, ingest and must do self-care we man man. Breakfast for Mini-B. was the last 2 corn dogs, ingest Major Food Group we man man.

Sunday means it's time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== DAD JOKES I taught my kids about democracy tonight by having them vote on which movie to watch and pizza to order. I then picked the movie and pizza because I'm the one with the money. "How do you explain this 4-year gap in your resumé" "That's when I went to Yale." "That's impressive. You are hired." "Thanks! I really need this Yob." A good wife will always be by your side during bad times... mostly to remind you that none of this would have happened if you'd just listened to her. When you ask me what I'm doing today, and I say "Nothing," it does not mean that I'm free. It means that I'm doing nothing. One big difference between men and women is that if a woman says, "Smell this," it usually smells nice. Can you all please stop asking Santa for the perfect man? I nearly got kidnapped 3 times today. When I was young, I was scared of the dark. Now, when I see my electric bill, I'm scared of the lights. "Dad, did you go to the same school as me?" "Yes, the same school as you, only 35 years ago. Why do you ask?" "Well, Mrs. Johnson said today that she hasn't seen an idiot like me in 35 years."

Here's How The White House Pulled Off a Flawless Strike on Iran In a stunning display of military precision and secrecy, the Trump administration executed a flawless bombing campaign on Iran's key nuclear sites, showcasing the unmatched capabilities of America's stealth arsenal and the discipline of a White House that kept the entire operation under wraps until the last bomb dropped. "This is an operation… in the last 18 years since I've been at the Pentagon, I've never seen such operational security," reported Fox News' Jennifer Griffin, clearly impressed. "There was nobody speaking about this, any of the preparations. There was a complete lockdown, almost a blackout of information for the last few days." The operation, centered around B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, targeted three critical uranium enrichment facilities: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. These heavily fortified underground sites, long seen as invulnerable to conventional strikes, were each hit with 30,000-pound Massive Ordnance Penetrators — bunker-busting bombs that only the U.S. Air Force is capable of deploying at this level.

Hoorah and hear, hear! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ America Welcomes Scholars, Not Saboteurs A few weeks ago, liberal media erupted when Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a cable to all United States embassies and missions to pause the processing of student visas until specific protocols were tightened. This week, the State Department announced enhanced vetting techniques for student visa applications, including evaluating social media posts by applicants for "hostile attitudes towards our citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles." On the surface, this decision might seem like the Trump administration is engaging in viewpoint discrimination, a point that liberal media elites repeatedly make. Colleges and universities are laboratories of diverse thought, the argument goes, so restricting freedom of speech constitutes a significant disservice to higher education's mission. As free speech advocates ourselves, we were initially persuaded by such arguments during the first Trump administration. However, given the extent of social media reach and the increasingly divided world we inhabit, Secretary Rubio is justified in providing visas only to students who respect the American way of life.

Thrilling Saturday non-GS report, see man: Breakfast/lunch for Mini-B. was rice + tuna, ingest wee man. Breakfast/lunch for us was onecan of baked beans*, ingest we man. *bought from supermarket dented-can bin, financially savvy we man Tried to siesta, not particularly successful because out of practice we man man. Went to Mama T-B.'s casa to retrieve small items, request senior she man. Got to hospital, Mama T-B. being served din-din man. In-charge doc showed up, surprisingly young MD he man. Echocardiogram showed a healthy heart, so much for Mama T-B.'s wish to die cleanly/quickly man. Said that there was little more to do except Fizzicle Therapy, need to be discharged soon man. We and Mama T-B. lobbied hard for the neurosurgeon's injection, usually done in doc's clinic man. We lobbied hard to not have discharge before Uncle T-B.'s crucial doc caucus on Tuesday, please man. Told Uncle T-B. frankly what was up with his big sister, had to we man. Uncle T-B. was stunned and said, "I don't know how to react to this, no man," sigh man. He will certainly go through a full range of emotions, si and sigh man. We have no place to move Mama T-B., not yet man. The options are, see man: -- Skilled Noosering facility, perhaps man -- Assisted Living, probably can't provide total care man -- Back into casa with around-the-clock noosering assistance, has potential with pitfalls man The problem with Skilled Noosering is total care & semiprivate rooms, Mama T-B. helpless man. The problem with Assisted Living is as stated plus the need to move in furniture (!), impractical man. The problem with in-casa care is that Mama T-B. can't walk even one step from bed to bathroom, sigh man. She can't even roll over in bed, bad shoulder man. We will almost certainly have to vacate Mama T-B.'s current unit, nowhere to put the stuff man. If put it in storage, how to sell it man? We are not on Facebook or F Marketplace, no man. NextDoor would be a zoo, "I want this piece but not this piece, si and no man" man. We have no room even for the stuff in her fridge/freezer/pantry, no man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. & Mini-B. are going to Ecu for most of July, stuff would spoil if they took it man. We need ideas and pronto, gracias man. Din-din was again after Many (2x2x2) p.m., ingest Costco angusburgers Two Guys man. Movie night was 2 Breaking Bad episodes, watch Two Guys man. Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. Tally for the week = Many (2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2) bowls, highly commendable man. No party with the rubias tonight or for the foreseeable future, no cavort we man. We must investigate and caucus with at least 2 or Many places on Sunday, our mission man. And that was/is our thrilling Sunday, report we man.

Gracias, D ma'am. Starting on Sunday will be a very busy week.

1. You can use them. 2. You may, or large rubber band. Avoid stapling and bunches of small paper-clips, if possible. 3. Get it there by any means. Just put "ORIGINAL I-751" in big letters on the box or mailing-label.

Super to hear! Thanks for your update.

But was your name on her mailbox? If not, and if the card was mailed, it could have been deemed a "return to sender - unknown addressee."

You were granted a CR-1 visa; correct? There's a separate fee to pay in order to receive the green card, as stated. If it was paid, the card might have been mailed to your wife's house but didn't arrive. If this, either it was misdirected, or the mailman didn't recognize your name (e.g., your name wasn't on wife's mailbox) and the envelope was returned to USCIS as "unknown recipient."

Iran Clarifies Its New 'Jew Smasher 3000' Missile Is Meant Only For Peace TEHRAN — The Islamic Republic of Iran addressed concerns over the recent acquisition of a brand new ballistic missile called the "Jew Smasher 3000" with a spokesman for the regime insisting that the missile is intended to be used for only peaceful purposes. "We don't want people to get the wrong idea about our new intercontinental ballistic missile that is capable of reaching Tel Aviv and vaporizing all Jew dogs within a 50-mile radius," said Muhammad Muhammad al-Muhammad to reporters.

Really good article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is Rioting Acceptable? If So, How Much? "We don't have s— under control," a Los Angeles Police Department commander told me on Sunday. "It's a godsend that the National Guard and the Marines are here." Officers on the street felt the same way, though the LAPD forbids them to express that view in public, the commander said. There are two different pictures of what happened in Los Angeles—the official one from California's elected leaders and the media, and the ground-level view from law enforcement. On Saturday—a week after President Trump activated the National Guard and six days after Gov. Gavin Newsom told Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that local law enforcement officers were "sufficient to maintain order"—a crowd broke into an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center downtown to liberate the detainees. The vandals overpowered the skeletal crew of National Guard soldiers, using improvised bombs made from M-80 firecrackers, nails and broken glass. Eventually about 100 law-enforcement officers arrived to put down the attempted jailbreak, but not before damage to the facility. The day before, according to the commander I interviewed, a mob [...] https://www.wsj.com/opinion/is-rioting-acceptable-if-so-how-much-06531b5b?st=1sC54x

Trump's Army celebration offers startling split screen with angry Democrats Call me crazy, but dissing our nation's army on its 250th birthday seems like yet another Democrat blunder. What a split-screen Americans witnessed this past Saturday. On the one hand, they saw thousands of patriots cheering our nation's troops, and on the other, "mostly peaceful" protesters screeching that our democracy is under assault. Demonstrators were caught on video waving Hamas flags, jeering our veterans and beating up cops. Angry crowds led by the likes of Randi Weingarten, whose teachers' union does more to promote social injustice than any other organization on earth, as they graduate class after class of minority kids unable to read and condemned to lives without futures. Democrats, who crowned Joe Biden their candidate in 2024 by resetting the primary calendar to guarantee their incumbent's ascension, sued to keep RFK, Jr. off the ballot, banned competitors from running, and tried to lock up Donald Trump, are no friends to democracy. Democrats, who lied to the country about Joe Biden's mental decline and tried to make an incompetent man president for four more years so they could hold onto power, should shut up about tyranny. The left is especially furious that democracy failed them last year, when a solid majority of the country elected Donald Trump and handed the government over to Republicans.

An option other than do-it-yourself or retaining an attorney is to use a service. One of our highly reliable VJ partners is: https://www.visajourney.com/partners/platinum-immigration-services/ I have no conflict of interest in making this recommendation.

Thrilling (sigh) Friday non-ES report, see man: Before bed, we called the hospital and learned that Mama T-B. indeed ate din-din without incident, major relief man. We zzz'd like a rock and didn't want to un-zzz but had to, si man. Breakfast/lunch was PB&J sandwiches, ingest Two Guys man. We had a poopload of things to get done before the weekend, sigh man. We made calls, ran errands, and did stuff for us, Uncle T-B., & Mama T-B., around-race we man. At the Skilled Noosering facility, we found Uncle T-B.'s undershirts but not his pants, si and no man. We were unable to find out why Uncle T-B.'s new CD hasn't gone through yet, frustrating man. We collected more needs from Mama T-B.'s casa, very particular senior she man man. Mama T-B. had caucuses and tests in the hospital, ordered-to-stay-away we man. Part of this order was because she has lost bowel & bladder control, humiliated senior she man. We hung out at Mama T-B.'s casa, cool heels we man. We were urged to read her Long-Term Care policy, read we man. Mama T-B. called us about her cardiac caucus, brief senior she man we man. The doc didn't think that she'd had a heart attack at all, order echocardiogram he man. She told us of her very long caucus with the neurosurgeon, major discussion man. The neurosurgeon then called us, brief neuro man we man. Nerve compression of her LMany-LMany disc spaces is causing her troubles, conclude he man. Surgery is not an option for many distinct reasons, agree we man. Recovery of walking and the above control is unlikely, sigh man. Injections might (or might not) help, nothing to lose by trying man. Regardless, Mama T-B. would probably need Many/Many care, around-the-clock man. This would be either at a new facility or in-casa care, some options man. Quality of life would be negligible in any event, sigh man. Mama T-B. very soberly asked the nooser for a DNR form, do not resuscitate man. The chaplains will bring it probably on Saturday, OK man. We were finally allowed to appear at the hospital, duly appear we man. In short order, see man: -- Mama T-B. was taken for her MRI, internally see senior she man man. -- The echocardiographer showed up, promised to return later man. -- Din-din was served, advance instructions from senior she man to we man man. -- Mama T-B. was returned from the MRI, return senior she man. -- Din-din was served, ingest senior she and share leftovers we man man. -- The noosering shift-change occurred, new noosers man. -- In the presence of both nooser shifts, Mama T-B. very soberly asked for a DNR form, do not resuscitate senior she man man. Mama T-B. caucused with us about lifespans, si man. Everyone at her independent-living place wants a neat, easy, nonburdensome death, believe it we man. We don't like this part of life but it's part of life, si and sigh man. To help her, we are willing to change our life during this last part of hers, sigh but si man. Mama T-B. also divulged why we were an only child, finally man. She nearly bled to death when we were born, we suspected something like this man. She & Papa T-B. agreed that one child with both parents was better than 2 children with no mother, si man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. brought a sandwich for Mini-B.'s din-din, satiated wee man. Movie night was more Breaking Bad episodes, watch Two Guys man. Many (2+2) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. This tallies to Many (2x2x2x2 +2), impressive man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. We aren't sure what will happen on Saturday, no man. And that was/is our thrilling Friday, si and sigh man.

We wouldn't stoop to a human behavior, no man.
