https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/care-bank-denver-paid-leave-program-eligibility/# who would have thunk The Care Bank program went into effect in Denver in 2024, allowing city workers to take up to eight weeks of paid leave for a variety of reasons including personal health issues, caring for a child, or caring for a family member with a serious health condition. The program cost nothing for city employees, pays them 100% of their salary, and turned out to be extremely popular -- so popular that in the Denver paramedic division, leave usage in 2024 shot up 334%, necessitating overtime payments to employees to fill positions vacated by other employees utilizing the paid leave program. This year, the city estimates Care Bank usage will be even higher than last year, with 2,484 city employees taking the paid leave -- that's about one quarter of the entire city workforce. the more obvious question is why isn’t everyone using it? News

I do not have access to MSNBC, but do for CNN and think of it as CNN on steroids. Anyway I have been watching the CNN coverage of the recent horrible school/chirch shooting. I have seen him/her described as far left, which makes no sense, certainly anti Trump and seriously unwell. Mother seems to have disappeared and no mention of Father. Pretty sure The Guardian ran a big news story but they have dropped the who thing very quickly I assume as soon as they found out that the shooter was Trans. So CNN are still all over it but you would need to pay attention to note the shooter was Trans, they are going down the Assault Weapon route, obviously not clear of a semi auto rifle was used, anyway does not matter. Less attention that this was waiting to happen, crazy person. Amusingly CNN did dead name and misgender the shooter initially which I thought was a major sin. Anyway this is quite interesting.

An I 94 basically tells you when you have to leave, used to be stapled in your passport now on on line. So NA for LPRs. Best bet is to look up their travel history on the airline web site.

Man denies raping girl, 12, in Nuneaton in case that prompted anti-asylum protests Ahmad Mulakhil and co-defendant Mohammad Kabir, who is accused of strangling girl, to face trial in January https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/aug/28/man-denies-raping-girl-nuneaton-anti-asylum-protests I forgot about this, went BBC were covering Farage speech, they disapprove, the next item was this, I seriously doubt the Producer intended it, but was quite amusing.

On the positive side you have been together for at least a year and a half.

Of course it works both way, a lot more people were born before the UK joined and had their rights compromised. Anyway for what ot is worth I thought we should have stayed in and fought to reform it, certainly all the expansions should have been blocked. We are where we are.

Joining the EU may have had some credibility if there had been a vote on it. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.

How soon after you met did you marry?

To be fair it seems to be common that a system has been produced where only the weakest rise to the top. Next election no idea, last one was easy to predict.

There is similar requirement where I am to get a Liquor License. Did not know this was a thing, how practical it is?, anyway seems the last President it was done under was Bill Clinton.

She and her friends would not have been seen dead in such a place. But they are not the customers

No harm having a Joint Sponsor to hand just in case

This lady is my maven on waivers, so if you wanted to appoint a Lawyer I would start here: https://www.scottimmigration.net/content/i601memo She has a very good description in the link above as to what is the history, what is required and how to present it. What you are trying to do is make the adjudicators job easy, well laid out and starting with the strong arguments first and working down to lessor ones, I do not know if they have a scoring system, but if I was the adjudicator and I like an easy life ,if I have seen enough quality points I would just scan through the rest as you have done your job. Now you have an intro and outro, introducing yourself, explaining the situation, asking nicely for their consideration etc but the above is the meat. You have an approved I 130 so you do not need to prove the relationship. Quick mention does no harm. I have certainly seen much weaker cases approved, as I mentioned a lot of it is presentation, Compelling arguments involve less work. I am from the UK so if I needed to file a waiver I certainly could put one together but my approach would be different to someone filing one from a Mexico perspective. I am a firm believer that no waiver is impossible, some will require more work. I also believe the process is stupid, just involves time and money, if you want the money just charge a larger fee. It is what it is.

Very Trump like, coming back in the car listening to BBC, they were covering the media response, the talking heads going on about this and that, missing the point, he has all the headlines are they are defending the indefensible. I would be VERY surprised if Reform are ever in the position to implement.

I was listening to the BBC and they had this live and I just heard the end of it. Thrown the cat amongst the pigeons, the Establishment has been implying for years there is nothing that can be done. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/26/nigel-farage-plan-deport-asylum-seekers-scorn-from-legal-experts Unveiling Reform UK’s “Operation Restoring Justice” at a combative press conference in Oxford, Farage said he would rip up the UK’s postwar human rights commitments, contained in a range of international conventions, to deport “absolutely anyone” – including women and children – arriving by small boat. Calling asylum seekers a threat to national security and to British women, he claimed his plans would stop Channel crossings “within days” and “save tens and possibly hundreds of billions of pounds”. Downing Street accused Farage of not being serious about his plans, but in a sign of how Reform has set the tone for public debate, the prime minister’s spokesperson refused to criticise his references to irregular migration as an “invasion” and a “scourge” or his prediction that Britain is “not far away from major civil disorder”.

I am pretty familiar with I 601 not a's but I think of them as the baby offshoot. Waivers are mainly matter pf presentation. My first comment is that it is a package, you need to evidence the statements you make, for example if there are security issues you need to evidence those with quality sources as attachments, if there are medical issues why they can not be obtained on Mexico. Financial could be an issue but not so much that he could not work, he still could, but presumably at a much reduced income. I have to go but will have a think and respond later.

Lets say you marry File an I 130 about 16 months Then file an In 601a 3 years, guessing as I do not know if the illegal presence is the only issue or how long things will take in the future. Consulate interview You are a long way from proving marriage bonafides

Somewhat insensitive and not as if the book will not be thrown at him. The lack of response and then fled the scene.

First thing I did was get a SSN.

Even my favourite YT Lawyer is going against this and he used to be all in.

Not sure how likely you are to be interviewed. Divorce waiver is the simplest option, in my mind throwing abuse in complicates matters unless you want to naturalise earlier. I would be inclined to at least send in an Errata sheet. But you have a Lawyer, no one here is a Lawyer.

This is going to sound very picky but you need a reason, if it is valid I assume they will approve, but most seem not to be approved. So not valid? But it is free to try.

Nothing you have mentioned would cause a problem.

You have been here since May
