I did some numbers on the F150 Lightning So based on my local Electricity price you can do about 12 miles for a dollar. The gas equivalent is maybe 5, one of the advantages is you lose no power with altitude and there is a lot of up and downs and you can regenerate on the down. I think a game changer and it is coming is to tie everything in with the house system. Now if you use a supercharger the numbers change and it is sort of similar to gas. Well it can be the local one here is 45c a KW, now no wonder it is not used. I did not look at diesel because they are in a different price bracket. Now I know someone in Construction who has a Rivian and you do not need to worry about power at a site, you can run all your tools off the truck. I also know a lot of people with off grid systems, add a few panels and charge your vehicle, so free ish. Places like CA with blackouts and variable charging makes even more sense, fill up the vehicle when it is cheap and draw back down when it is expensive.

UK news article sadly also not very reputable: Time to stop using term ‘long Covid’ as symptoms are no worse than those after flu, study finds https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/15/long-covid-symptoms-flu-cold “We believe it is time to stop using terms like ‘long Covid’. They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional about longer-term symptoms associated with this virus. This terminology can cause unnecessary fear, and in some cases, hypervigilance to longer symptoms that can impede recovery.” In a press conference on Friday, Gerrard said: “I want to make it clear that the symptoms that some patients described after having Covid-19 are real, and we believe they are real. What we are saying is that the incidence of these symptoms is no greater in Covid-19 than it is with other respiratory viruses, and that to use this term ‘long Covid’ is misleading and I believe harmful.”

My usual comment would be to diary it for 2045

This is fascinating, going to watch it again. I have not calmed down yet from Napoleon but this is the view of someone who was doing his best to get it right. Now some of the things I noticed, a few I did not.

the email is not technically wrong, just misleading, I suppose they could not be bothered to do one for those subject to the Visa Bulletin.

My guess is that when you log in your case will be blurred and not available to be processed currently

I saw this happen before, I assume a screwup.

Giant scam Carbon schemes are touted as a way to transfer billions in climate finance to the developing world – but people at the Kariba project in Zimbabwe say most of the profits never arrive Much of the €100m revenue generated by Kariba has been carved off along the way by the project developers in fees and expenses: €86m went into costs and profits assigned to the broker and technical lead South Pole and to the project coordinator Carbon Green Investments. In the end, only a maximum of €14m went to Kariba’s communities through cash transfers and infrastructure improvements. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/15/money-carbon-credits-zimbabwe-conservation-aoe

I do not see the connection, say you are being paid $11 and you can work in Walmart and get $20, that would be a perfectly logical reason to move jobs. There is no regulation tying you to your Sponsor.

How did the interview go?

I am sure there have been but I cannot recollect seeing any K2 denials? But then denials are not that common.

It sounds fixable but not with that lawyer. I 130 should be done by now. So when you filed you sent the I 130 receipt with the I 485? You received a REF did you respond.

All the jobs I have seen have been minimum wage but there may be ones slightly over. It seems to be the deal is that you work for a year at minimum wage, not sure if the Employer gets a kick back, seems not, they get someone at minimum wage for a year with no spend. Actually there is no requirement to stay with the Employer for a year but that seems implied.

I am not familiar obviously with SA law on this matter, so presumably you have retained a Family Lawyer in SA and have an opinion that you have a chance? I know that if it was the UK it would be uphill. Or of it was the other way around. Nothing to stop your Husband petitioning them now.

You will have your Passport but can apply for a State ID.

ACRO? ARGO makes no sense. Np you are good to go, presumably a 5 year multi entry visa?

I have heard of MCC, forget when and where, I thought they were S America focussed. Some seems to succeed bit as you imply very much a roll of the dice and no money back. Now I think of it I think it was a Doctor who got an EB3 for him and his family to work driving a delivery van in the Chicago area.

Perhaps after the year it takes to get there?

Are you sponsoring them or is your spouse sponsoring them. How old are they? Have you started the process?

We have had members who have cancelled the adjustment process and gone CR1, but none I think for this reason. You should still be able to visit, there is no requirement to adjust, just leave within the 90 days. An I 130 will probably take nearer 18 months. I can see the Consulate may be confused seeing you again.

Depends on how many days are in the months but you want to stay a long time but not close to 6 months so who cares exactly how many days. Just wondering what you do for a job, pretty unusual to get that much holiday. And I thought Schools went through to the end of June?

No way of knowing

The average interview is very quick, they will be asked 2 or 3 simple questions, very unusual for any documents to be asked for, they have noway of verifying them and most documents mentioned are not relevant. The information they need is on the DS 160

US is the land of the 2 week holiday so you may need to explain that

That depends on the PoE and how long they admit you for, usually 6 months but it could be a day or not at all.
