Now I am no expert on this but have seen quite a few cases where just because you have served 10 years does not mean you get deported when you are let, With Holding of Removal etc and some countries just do not want their bad eggs back. Always struck me as weird that you can give visa's to people from Countries who refuse to accept their own citizens.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/31/us/denver-migrants-crisis/index.html Getting in on the latest Denver before I get usurped. Denver CNN — This is what an overwhelmed city can look like: a preschooler sleeping under a bridge for a month; crowds lining up each night to get food and shelter; and the mayor calling out for help. And when that city is Denver in the winter, and the overnight temperatures sink below zero degrees Fahrenheit, the problems are life-threatening. “Our city is really struggling,” Mayor Mike Johnston told CNN after he visited families in a makeshift encampment – a sign of the unfolding emergency triggered by the mass arrival of people from outside the city. “This is both a humanitarian crisis for the individuals that are arriving, and it’s a fiscal crisis for the cities that are serving. Those two crises are coming to a head right now.” Few, if any, of the thousands of people who have arrived in Denver planned for Colorado’s capital to be their destination after monthslong treks away from persecution or deprivation in search of safety and a chance at the American Dream. But when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott decided to offer free bus rides to get asylum seekers out of his state, the options given were generally New York, Chicago or Denver, migrants said. Each of those three cities has a Democratic mayor and Abbott has targeted them as part of his stated aim for “the rest of America (to) understand what is going on.” Migrants told CNN they had heard New York was too full, believed Chicago would be too cold and thus picked Denver. The mayors of New York, Chicago and Denver have issued joint calls for the arrivals of migrants to be treated as a national problem with a national solution. They have called for a coordinated entry system, but Abbott’s spokesperson told CNN in December the only fix was for President Joe Biden’s administration to “secure the border.” Just to be clear Colorado is not a Sanctuary State, Denver is a Sanctuary City and years ago were down charging illegals with Agricultural Trespass to avoid the attention of ICE. There is no agricultural zoned property in Denver. But on the agricultural theme you reap what you sow. And we have had a mild winter. So far.

I am not sure you have to give it a few days now to get a SSN, back in the day I gave it a week before rocking up and applying for a SSN. Actually is not uncommon for GC to be obtained before AP is granted. Looks like you will need EAD to get a DL. https://www.michigan.gov/sos/resources/communities/new-mi-residents

Is this a lottery case? Sure, does not matter where she is, if not subject to the cap maybe doable to adjust but this is something the Employers Lawyer handles. -
EB2 NIW: Question about Independent Recommendation Letters
Boiler replied to Maj_Gen_Ifeanyi's topic in United Kingdom
I do not recollect US recommendations being required, obviously they have to be of substance but I can think of a few cases where I seriously doubt that the person has US based referees. -
No PoC? Now I was born not that for from Stratford and was walking distance from the Globe for quite a few years, English Literature was not my strong point but I do remember this being covered at School and that back then men or boys more normally played the female roles. Plus of course the implication we had moved on..... Not sure my Teacher, what was his name, I can remember his number, thought we would twist it back around.

Oregon leaders declare 90-day state of emergency in downtown Portland to address fentanyl crisis https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/31/us/fentanyl-crisis-portland-state-of-emergency/index.html Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, Multnomah County Chair Jessica Vega Pederson and Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler each made an emergency declaration to address the public health and public safety crisis in Portland’s Central City, citing overdoses, deaths and fear driven by fentanyl use, according to a Tuesday press release. “Our country and our state have never seen a drug this deadly and addictive, and all are grappling with how to respond,” Kotek said in the release. Oregon voters passed Measure 110 in 2020, which decriminalized some use of hard-drugs, including fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. The measure has received criticism, as opioid overdose deaths steadily climbed since. -
There seems to be a more obvious issue: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/jan/31/richard-iii-non-disabled-actor-michelle-terry-shakespeare-globe-theatre The artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe has pushed on with playing Richard III in a summer production, but vowed not to “alter [her] physicality” following a backlash over not casting a disabled actor in the role. The Globe was criticised after it announced that Michelle Terry would play the role of Shakespeare’s scheming king who describes himself as “deformed, unfinish’d”. In recent years, disabled actors, including Mat Fraser, Kate Mulvany and Arthur Hughes, in high-profile productions have “reclaimed” a character who in real life had scoliosis – as revealed when his skeleton was discovered beneath a Leicester car park in 2012. In a lengthy statement on Tuesday, the Globe said it was “committed to developing a culture of care, empathy, equity, conversation, and accessibility across all our work”. Terry acknowledged “that for many, Richard III is an iconic disabled figure” and admitted her casting might feel like a “missed opportunity for a disabled artist to play a disabled character on a major UK stage. But she said that the role “will come around again”.

Generally Denver cannot. The only thing I can think of is that Denver has historical water rights but I have not come across that being used. It would need to be State mandated which brings some interesting challenges. I did se something about Boulder, now I know Boulder and it was Progressive before Progressive was a thing. Amused me how they used planning restrictions to have no more than a token minority presence. So basically they surrounded themselves with a big green belt and the workers bees commuted in. I will be interested how they work around not being able to theoretically do this, I have my suspicions. Even in Boulder the local rag Denver Camera was referred to as the Denver Comrade.
