Blow by blow report from the battlefield?…lawfare ? 😂 I am surprised the jury and onlookers could keep a straight face . .. Alina earns the Legally Dumb award . https://www.businessinsider.com/e-jean-carroll-judge-bench-slaps-trump-attorney-alina-habba-2024-1?amp E. Jean Carroll judge bench-slaps Trump's attorney 14 times over basic lawyering in a single day of testimony Wednesday was the first day of testimony in Donald Trump's second E. Jean Carroll defamation trial. A fed-up Judge Lewis Kaplan rebuked the Trump lawyer Alina Habba at least 14 times during the day. "Sit down," he told her at one point. When she asked for a sidebar, he tersely responded, "No." 1. "I make the rulings here, not the lawyers" "The last I heard, Ms. Habba, I do not need announcements from counsel on what they intend to do," Kaplan instructed when Habba interrupted Carroll's direct testimony by standing up and saying her opponents "opened the door" on an issue that she would, as a result, address during cross-examination later. "And I make the rulings here, not the lawyers," Kaplan added. When Habba tried to press her point, Kaplan told her succinctly, "Sit down." "OK," Habba said, sitting. 2. "We're going to do it my way in this courtroom" Habba began an afternoon of cross-examination by suddenly confronting Carroll with her October 2022 pre-trial deposition. "I need a transcript to be able to work with this," Kaplan told Habba. "Your Honor, it's on the screen," Habba told the judge, who, for a second time, asked for a hard-copy transcript. "Now look, Ms. Habba," the judge said as her staff continued scrambling to get him a hard copy. "We're going to do it my way in this courtroom, and that's all there is to it. 3. Elaine's restaurant, where it's still hard to get a seat It's not only popular, it's incredibly hard to get into, correct?" Habba asked. That may be on account of it being closed," the judge deadpanned. 4. "Neither do I" When I originally asked you what this book was about, how did you describe it?" Habba asked. "Objection," interrupted Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, What's the objection?" the judge asked. "I don't know what she's talking about," Carroll's lawyer answered. "Neither do I," the judge responded.

Well my friend , when a Q Anon /MAGA spokeswoman says mass deportation ..you can bet she is including Nikki Hailey and may even go after Obama .

You can also try getting infopass for a trip to local Field Office and some human contact . .. Not sure what will get you an Infopass ..but urgent need to travel used to work.

I have not heard of “ hot”…but definitely heard creative doozies from tier 1 agents. Changed circumstances warrant new requests for expedite..review criteria and try again for EAD/AP expedite. If previous expedite was denied , hopefully you appealed ( simple email ) the denial and know specific reasons . Anyway , pending background checks do not hinder approval of EAD..so keep trying

She can sponsor as many as she can afford . No limit providing she is income qualified . See link https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p BUT ..most people are scared of the proverbial “hook” liability in case your beloved turns out to be a litigious dud

File the I-130 ( online to generate instant receipt/case number) and a paper I-601 waiver now , include copy of I-130 filing. I-130 will not be denied and gives you the opportunity to apply for hardship waiver. Try requesting expedite at filing for both ..carefully review expedite criteria and hardship y to Petitioner ) . Likely first expedite request will not be granted , but you can call in expedite requests again ( if you meet criteria and or change in circumstances). It took a fellow VJ poster 6 expedite denials but he got the 7th approved. I would feel better filing the I-130 /I-601 and I-485 together now ..and if you can afford the filing fee ..file ALL three. Do not file I-131 and stay put . My heartfelt sympathy for the pain of war , praying for a sane and speedy resolution. ..an impossible task w Hamas in the picture .

No issues at all with you filing the I-130 . Case will be fine . Go ahead and do I-485, I-765, I-131 and I-864 . Include copy of both I-130 Receipt Notice and I-129 F approval .

Greene says Trump will perform ‘mass deportations on day 1’ if reelected https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4410226-greene-trump-mass-deportations/amp/ .. Greene, one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in Congress, called migrants “terrorists” in the Monday speech and directly compared them to Hamas militants. “They’re in our country, and you can bet many of them are terrorists who would like to attack our country here just like Israel was attacked by the Hamas terrorists over there,” she said.

That is superb timeline for I-601..good to hear you persisted w theO 1 Since you already have the EAD.and AP….expediting the I-485 is a bit nuanced ..a specific need /urgency Example a pilot needs LPR status ..certain govt contracts /contacts for security clearance (?) Not sure what applies to you , but try if need qualifies. The general rule is imminent loss of job/work/ economic loss… Sometimes …it happens that cases get “stuck” in black hole of inactivity..but you’ve kept on top , so no fear of that. Since they gone digital , waiver approval likely reached the FO and your file

Congratulations on waiver approval . The speed of it makes me think it was for exemption to COVID vax.. Was it for an inadmissibility ? Either way..you can start prodding USCIS and bring attention to the I-485 by : 1. Upload approval of I-601 to your online I-485 case as supplementary evidence 2. Mail a paper copy to address /service center on most recent receipt notice of I-485 3. Call USCIS and request an expedite if you have a qualifying hardship ( possible job loss ..or see list ). 4, Have USC spouse ask congressman for help None of the above is a requirement..just helps at times

😂 We all know…and know you inow ! https://time.com/4203094/donald-trump-hecklers/ Donald Trump Tells Crowd to ‘Knock …”

Yes to all of the above …and Add additional evidence of joint life from Dec 2022 all the way to end of marriage . Carefully look over your address /date of separation timeline and if you are the one who moved out of the marital home…hopefully you did an AR-11 and updated . If break up was polite , try and get affidavit from ex saying marriage was in good faith, corroborate some details of past joint financial decisions …but don’t stress if she refuses

Let’s not beat around the bush…so to speak . You dated for 2 years while she was on J1 and you want to live together, as a couple . She did not disclose having a USC boyfriend at F-1 interview…BY CHOICE….because you both knew that would be a problem. ..and the long term goal is live together in US. Not worth splitting hairs on sponsor/boyfriend..same red flag. If she did a great job at evading the boyfriend issue at F-1 interview..perhaps they denied cause she sought another visa too quickly ( assuming here no 2 year home stay ) or they peeked at her past social media . With all the immigration law knowledge you have gathered ..what do YOU think either Consulate or CBP would do if she truthfully discloses the “ purpose of visit “? Personally , I think ESTA will be rejected .. even if it approved she would risk a strong arm encounter w CBP ..where IF she tells the truth they will send her home https://esta-center.com/en/refusal/index.html#refusal2 The most common reasons for rejection of ESTA application In the past, applied for VISA or ESTA and it had been rejected.

You are right ..as always. I could see a chance if there was a cruise connection . I will add that the approval rate is deceiving …since worldwide there have been less than 10,000 granted each year .

I will add ( indulge me if I’m repeating myself ) .😂..In case one misses the contact year 1, 2 or even 3..it is very easy to get case re-opened Simply do an ASK NVC request and plead for reinstatement due to unforeseen circumstances..no internet /no computer ( digital divide is real ) loss of access to email . health /financial hardship ..or describe your particular hardship . They have never required anything more than the email .

I say he is still F-2 A and CSPA protected …and on that basis was given this 2nd interview … If they don’t walk back the misrep..he loses CSPA and ages out to F-2 B.

How did the interview go? Did they allow you to show your evidence? I am hoping you have good news

Here is what the light at the end of the tunnel looks like ..if you get a chance to I-601…for you, your wife and child. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/H5 - Waiver of Inadmissibility - Misrepresentation - 212 (i)/Decisions_Issued_in_2021/DEC022021_01H5212.pdf The Director ofthe Chicago, Illinois Field Office denied the application, concluding the Applicant did not establish that her U.S. citizen spouse, the only qualifying relative, would suffer extreme hardship upon her separation or his relocation to Nigeria. The Applicant later filed an appeal that we dismissed. The matter is before us again on a motion to reopen and a motion to reconsider.

The fact that DOS did not issue a Refusal and misrep/fraud finding is cause they are skewering with you. ..she’s a repeat offender so no surprise. Once YOU process the fact that your wife admitted to the misrep/fraud at her IV interview..in itself that is sufficient for a finding…ask yourself WHY ? If you then accept the fact that a lie about marital status is a material misrep /fraud ..( do this by reading through AAO USCIS non precedent decisions on I-601s) …you may have a chance at clarity. Don’t get stuck on looking for exact fact pattern .. Important is also to accept the reality of consular non reviewability …no one can force them to change their finding …or as in your case bother to actually issue the finding . ( Well , I already laid out my $50 K strategy 😂) As an example, here , where a good argument persuaded AAO /USCIS that DOS finding of fraud were not warranted,..the ultimate result is ..oh sorry , but nothing we can do, DOS has final say. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/err/H5 - Waiver of Inadmissibility - Misrepresentation - 212 (i)/Decisions_Issued_in_2023/DEC122023_03H5212.pdf We acknowledge the Applicant's appeal assertion that her failure to establish a bona fide marriage does not necessarily support the DOS' finding that she is also inadmissible for having committed fraud or made a willful misrepresentation during her immigration visa process. However, DOS makes a final determination concerning admissibility and eligibility for an immigrant visa. Here, the record contains evidence based on which the DOS reasonably found the Applicant inadmissible under section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) of the Act. Therefore, we may consider only whether the Applicant qualifies for a waiver of her inadmissibility.

I call..and raise you same😂 A little disclosure..am neither degreed nor pedigreed..but am not guessing.

😂 Does you not seeing it mean I did not see it ? By “normal” I take you mean cases where the misrep worked and person is facing issue in the US and is cured w I-601…that indeed is common.

Complete the I-407 and contact the US embassy as well as the Rome CBP office. Make some calls and follow up e emails to each to create a record . There is no fee to file ..but you risk being denied entry otherwise .. . Not worth flying under the radar or facing secondary and a barrage of questions and peekaboos on how /why you got LPR in the 1st place https://www.uscis.gov/i-407 In very rare circumstances, a USCIS international field office or U.S. embassy or U.S. consulate without a USCIS international field office may allow you to submit a Form I-407 in person if you need immediate proof that you have abandoned your LPR status. The most common need for an expedited application is to apply for an A or G visa. You may also submit Form I-407 to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer at a U.S. port of entry. https://it.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/rome/sections-offices/dhs/cbp/#:~:text=The CBP office in Rome,the Mediterranean and Middle East.
