    repeat biometrics

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    I just got an appt letter from USCIS for a 2nd biometrics. Why does this happen? Did they lose the data during my first one last year?

    My wife had the same situation with 1st appointment in Feb and then another scheduled for this month. Apparently this was due to FBI not being able to process the fingerprints.

    I wouldnt worry as with 2 weeks of 2nd Biometric appointment Jonah was approved without interview for 10 yr green card.

    Pat Buchanan: Black Americans should be grateful we brought them over on slave ships!

    the only thing is, that white preachers-freaks-whatever, get to say whatever on tv or on the press, and they 'have the right' because 'the other folks are doing it'... look what happened to Obama's preacher, they're killin him because omg he said so many mean things..

    but, what has ever happened to David Duke? to Buchanan? to the guys that said that 9/11 was caused by lesbians, gays, satanists? to the westboro baptist church? oh, it's their freedom of speech to say it.. but if it's a minority, it's terrible because they are trying to abuse the now-minority white race...

    Don't be ignorant, why play the race card ? Trying to gain sympathy from the great White guilt trip ??

    Teamsters Union to Endorse Barack Obama

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I was a teamster once, working for Albertson's. It was absolutely the worst job I have ever had.

    I worked 10 hours a day and only had 2- 10 min. breaks a day.

    Depending on your hire date there was 4 different pay levels for the exact same job, with about 4 dollars difference between them.

    4 month probation period. Plus they only told you what your days off were going to be the Friday before the week started.

    The union never really represented you they were only concerned about their dues.

    When I quit I vowed to never work for a union shop again.

    I have since campaigned against become a union shop twice at my company. Which was defeated overwhelmingly by the employees. Then we had to picket the labor board to get them to certify the election that the union kept appealing even though they were defeated 2 to 1. This drug out for well over 18 months, all the while our benefits were frozen.

    Unions are one of the reasons our company's find it hard to compete in the global economy and decide to just move production offshore to stay competitive.

    Also my Grandfather was a life long Teamster. Who had a heart attack after arriving home from paying his union dues and getting caught in a traffic jam. The union refused to pay my Grandmother the funeral benefit for his burial saying that he was in arrears. When he had his receipt in his pocket. But Grandmother was to distraught and would not fight them and refused to let anyone else either.

    These are my experiences and my opinion.

    So for me to follow any recommendation of the teamsters is highly unlikely.

    I hate having employees that have the union mentality working for me. They are the least productive employees while demanding everything under the sun. I'll take a good Asian immigrant employee any day over them.

    NEVER AGAIN!

    Well I feel the exact opposite in many ways. Having been a IBEW member for over 20 years now there is no way in hell I would ever work open shop again. There is some truths to what you have posted and even a few very non-productive workers where I am employed. I work in power generation and I promise you if everyone where I work at was as non-productive as you stated we would all be scratching our un-employed asses, power plant no worky and the shat will hit the fan real quick. Luckily we have a great working relationship with the salary side and for the most part it is a pretty smooth sailing but you can bet yer azz if there was no representation the hourly worker would get the short end of the stick time and time again. To be truthful the salary people at my employer who *uck with the hourly the most are all ex-union members on a power trip.

    I have one helluva benefits package that trumps just about all other non-union power plants and I like the way things are negotiated as it has been give and take from both sides.

    I will also add that a few years back my son got sick and had to have a heart transplant. He was sent to a non-network hospital and when the insurance company wanted to move him to a network hospital for the transplant my union local as well as my employer worked together and the insurance company backed off of transferring my son. The union local also went to a Best Buy and purchased my son a video game system and games to help him both occupy his time and keep his mind going while he waited to be transplanted. I was off work for 2 months straight and my 40 hour paychecks never stopped. After my son was transplanted he had to have a huge amount of appointments which required me to miss alot of work, sometimes half the work week. Never once was I frowned on or asked to make appointments on off days (transplant team sets schedule). I did have to burn all of my vacation and sick time but when that was wiped out my fellow union employees bridged my time by donation vacation and sick time. My son's medical bills have passed over $2 million dollars as he went trhu 5 open heart surgeries including the transplant surgery. I have had to pay less than 1% of that amount out of my pocket. My insurance plan has no lifetime maximum and I dont get azz raped on my premiums.

    Now that is the true spirit of unionism !!! There is a difference in believing in unionism and just flat out being a lazy deadweighted ####### like you described in your post. I put in an honest days work for an honest days pay. Sure some days I dont get much done but then other days I get way more than a fair days worth of work. I have a nice safe work place where there is no fear to speak out if something isnt safe.

    Anyways sorry to ramble but labling union workers the same as the shop where you once were a member is in no way shape or form anything like the union local I have worked out of.

    One thing I do detest is the mentallity of the general membership to push everyone to vote on a straight Democat ticket. I have been a Republican over 20 years and I will be damned if anyone is gonna try and influence who I vote for. I have voted Dem before, Clinton in '92 but I be damned if I was going to vote for that stiff Al Gore in "00 or the flip-flopping John Kerry in "04. Now this election I am no fan of John McStain so I dunno who the hell I am voting for, maybe Ralph Nader !

    Passport revoked!

    in USCIS Service Centers

    Posted

    you dont know the story..... dont ever judige my husband!

    If I may just give a bit of advice. If your husband owes back CS the best thing that he can do is contact the CS office that the payments are supposed to be made to and get on some kind of re-payment plan so that he can get this matter taken care of. This type of problem will not go away and the only way to get past it is to face the music and get it taken care of. If he doesnt face the problem and make arrangements to get it taken care of he will always have a difficult time with his passport and in many states he may lose his driving priviledges.

    I am not making any judgments as I myself payed CS for 15 years. I think if your husband makes any kind of effort to pay the arrears and actually comes thru and rebuilds a payment history then he may get the passport re-instated.

    Good luck;

    I am sorry to hear that you have been trying to get CS for 20 years now.

    May I ask why you even bother trying to collect after such a long period of time and the children involved must be in their 20's by now ? I assume they know they werent supported and as such made their own decisions on how to deal with it being adults now.

    Dont get me wrong you were supposed to have received CS but after 20 years why even bother ?

    Falling behind on child support does not make one a dead beat dad. Really tired of this automatic connection always being made. :angry:

    I hear exactly what your saying. But in today's entitlement society CS is handed down as a punishment and there is no accountability for those who receive the funds. Furthermore if a person gets sick, is in between jobs or some other life changing event the system simply does not care. Sure a person can get the CS reduced if out of work but the problem is by the time the reduction is granted most are already in arrears. No matter what the situation is the person paying the CS is always labled a deadbeat.

    Now dont get me wrong if someone out there is purposely avoiding the CS and making every attempt to skirt the collection then they should get hammered.

    Makes me wonder if some who have posted here are angry because they didnt receive a few payments. Well all I gotta say to that is if your relying soley on the CS to make ends meet then you have got more serious problem than depending on that tax free check to help pay your bills.

    I paid CS for over 15 years and not once did I ever fall behind but I have seen many instances where people have had valid reasons for falling behind only to be punished and branded a dead beat.

    Nader announces new run for president

    Posted

    Well Alex until we all stop supporting this two party system and exposing it for what it really is the Republicrats will always be in office. Almost anyone I have talked to is either slamming the Dems or slamming the Reps but when its time to vote they vote Dem or REP because they wanna say they voted for the winner and/or just to scared to try and make a change. Then after the elections they cry and ###### about the way things are but yet again vote for whoever is popular NOT who is the best candidate for them.

    Nader considering another White House run

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I still get a good chuckle at how the democrats still think Nader robbed them of the White House in '00. What a bunch of jackasses to actually believe that they are entitled to anybody's votes.

    Actually, I agree. If those people who voted for Nader actually wanted Gore to win, they would have voted for him. This country needs more than two parties, so that people can actually vote for a candidate that most accurately represents their views. I would much rather people were voting their conscience rather than as near as dammit or, worse, against the alternative.

    I agree totally that we need to bust up the current two-party system. The problem with that is most people dont want to give a third-party candidate a chance as they want to lay claim that they voted for whoever won the election. As long as that is the general mentallity the current two-party system will continue to thrive.

    As much as I hear people moan and groan (myself included) about the current choices and how we all want change I dont see even one percent of those same people looking outside the box at a third party candidate. Instead all we will see is a bunch of complaining and finger pointing.

    Obama Flip-Flops on Normalization of Relations With Cuba

    Well in my opinion McStain is the Republicans version of John Kerry and truth be told Hillary is probably more conservative than McStain. I take nothing away from what he went thru as a POW but his liberal slants along with him getting in bed with that fat drunk Ted Kennedy in supporting immigrating reform errrrrrrrrrr......... amnesty, I dont think he will win.

    Myself being a conservative I am seriously thinking of doing a write-in or crossing party lines. I just dont believe McStain is the answer.

    I would suggest you give TaxAct a look around. It is very simple and easy to use and like TurboTax eliminates the need to use a tax preparer.

    HELP ON FILING MARRIED BUT SEPERATE TAXES

    in Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

    Posted

    If you filed a joint return last year then you are also on the hook for whatever amount is owed. Yes you can file seperate but it is kinda pointless and if the amount is not to staggering maybe this years refund will pay it off so you all dont have to worry about it anymore. If you keep putting it off and try to find ways around the system you are really only gonna pay more in the end.

    Most people that I have run across that have to amend there returns must do so because they get in such a big hurry and file before they have all their forms in the might quest for a refund check. I dunno if that is your case but you may wanna wait next time until all the proper paperwork is ready the first time.

    I doubt a tax problem would stop a I-751 petition as I am sure you arent the only one here with that problem.

    Good luck;
