  1. ‘Hypocrisy’: Tata builds vast India furnace despite Port Talbot emissions claims Owner says shutting Welsh blast furnaces will cut emissions, but it is opening a new one in India https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/24/unions-accuse-tata-of-hypocrisy-over-port-talbot-closure-green-claims In announcing the redundancies last week, the company said that the overhaul would “secure most of Tata Steel UK’s existing product capability and maintain the country’s self-sufficiency in steelmaking, while also reducing Tata Steel UK’s CO2 emissions by 5 million tonnes per year and overall UK country emissions by about 1.5%”. However, the project at Kalinganagar could increase the company’s overall global emissions. It will be among the largest blast furnaces in the world, with a 5,870 cubic metre capacity, and is due to be completed this year. I had relations who worked at Port Talbot, not sure if any distant ones do now, if so for not much longer. Many saw it as a better bet than the Mines.
  2. It does make you wonder what the end game is for Progressives? How much progress can the average person take.
  3. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/23/food/in-n-out-oakland-closure-crime/index.html Must be a reference to this: — In-N-Out is permanently closing one of its restaurants for the first time ever, announcing that its Oakland location will soon shutter because of rampant crime in the California city. The burger chain said in a statement that “despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our customers and associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft, and armed robberies.” The location, which has been open for nearly two decades, will close on March 24. It’s the city’s only In-N-Out and is near the airport. Crime has indeed substantially increased in Oakland: Burglaries were up 23% and motor vehicle thefts were up 44% in 2023 compared to a year prior, according to Oakland Police Department data obtained by CNN affiliate KGO-TV. In-N-Out said in a statement that while “several” of its locations have relocated in its 75-year history, the Oakland closure is the first restaurant it has closed. “We feel the frequency and severity of the crimes being encountered by our customers and associates leave us no alternative,” said Chief Operating Officer Denny Warnick, in the statement. Voting has consequences.
  4. EAD and AP are optional. More reasons for the K1 not normally being a good option.
  5. She should set herself up to be the spare, you never know.
  6. That would be for an immigrant visa with a qualifying relative
  7. So yes, that could well complicate matters.
  8. Do they have a criminal history?
  9. You can always apply, I do not know if you will be approved or not.
  10. I am going to guess you did a Roxham Road? So you were refused for misrep and immigrant intent. I believe you need an I 192 for Misrep, there is no waiver for immigrant intent, you need a change of circumstances. https://e-safe.cbp.dhs.gov/s/login/?ec=302&startURL=%2Fs%2F A timeline would help, certainly does sound that you have an interesting immigration past.
  11. A city council member in the Chicago suburb of Naperville proposed that local families who want to volunteer to house migrants should put their names on a sign-up sheet. “I think we live in a compassionate community,” Naperville Council member Josh McBroom said at a city council meeting on 16 January, before recommending that his staff “create a sign-up sheet for individuals that would be willing to house migrant families”. “We hear from people that we should do more,” Mr McBroom said. “We do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes.” Although the city council member said that he doesn’t support using taxpayer money to fund migrant aid, he sought volunteers to house migrants. “If there are people who can do that, God bless them,” he said. The Naperville City Council spokesperson Linda LaCloche told The Independent that staff were asked to “prepare a future agenda item so Council may consider whether to create a sign-up opportunity for residents to volunteer to host migrants.” But the date of when that initiative will be discussed has not yet been determined. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/chicago-migration-asylum-seekers-house-b2483420.html
  12. I am pretty sure the CO had never seen my file before I was called up. Only thing I was asked for was a photo. Now Vietnam will no doubt be a bit more demanding and I do not know the totality of your situation. I did take everything I could think of.
  13. I have but seems to be exceptional.
  14. I may have been lucky but I was never that long in secondary.
  15. Has not been back for nearly 2 days so I can only assume bad news.
  16. The issue here is the VWP: Travelers who have been arrested, even if the arrest did not result in a criminal conviction, those with criminal records, (the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act does not apply to U.S. visa law), certain serious communicable illnesses, those who have been refused admission into, or have been deported from, the United States, or have previously overstayed on the VWP are not eligible to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/visa-waiver-program/non-immigrant-visa-waiver-program-vwp/
  17. Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice joins Joy Reid on Moms for Liberty seeking influence over public school library content and more. "We're talking about a public school library,” Justice tells Joy of what many call the resultant, de facto book bans. “Children don't have unfettered access to the internet at school." https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/watch/moms-for-liberty-co-founder-tiffany-justice-questioned-on-de-facto-book-bans-goaded-by-group-202537541836 This interview has been covered elsewhere but for some reason MSNBC decided to put the original on their site.
  18. We do have a mega thread on visiting, I visited many people have during the process. I do not show anything. It can be, or not. I see your Mother has a Job and a House so not relevant.
  19. For 99% of the people who work there it is a job, not quite what the Administration's view is I do not know.
