    They just caught that 15-year-old figure skater for doping.

    The one that everyone was creaming themselves over last week.

    I wouldnt be so amused if I hadnt seen a ridiculous post from a coworker gushing about how amazing olympic athletes are

    Where is your drug free god now

    Here's America, I'm not going to the hospital because I'm not a big name republican so I wouldn't get any of the super fancy covid treatments, and even though I have health insurance I'd still end up eating a bill for thousands of dollars to maybe get to lie in a bed and get a saline IV.

    Also like, I don't want to accuse China of cheating without evidence. Generally what they've done recently is focus a lot of effort in events that they thought they could pick up medals in. Especially in the Summer Olympics. It's not really cheating, just putting a lot of investment into say, a diving program that can yield a lot of medals for the count.

    Well that and convince people like Elaine Gu to defect, but that's a whole different thing.

    It's Russia that likes to do the mad scientist thing.

    I could go on.

    Do trust me when I say a lot of us would LOVE to just close out stuff in a timely manner. A lot of us feel for the applicants. We get it’s a struggle with your life on hold.

    But for every honest person out there, we have serious shit applicants, or management fucking us. They eat into our time. Then you get cases where an employee who was insufficiently trained approves someone they shouldn’t have but did it all because management just cares about numbers.

    But who gets fucked in the end?

    This is all very cool but is there any way they could like... i dunno hire more people and work on cases faster??? I am happy to feel welcomed or whatever but my husband and I are under a 9 - 12 month backlog and we just want to get that sweet sweet greencard and apply to jobs and live that dink life that was promised

    I was so fkn shocked when you told me about this. I 100% thought marriage was the silver bullet- the tsa pre of immigration.
    If you were born abroad to one U.S. citizen, on or after November 14, 1986, you are likely a U.S. citizen

    That’s my birthday! One year exactly before I was born. Slipped through just in time bay-beeeee 😼

    it's fuckin trash. movies are a lie. you get married and it's a huge hassle and expensive and nowhere close to automatic or assured.

    But the sex gets more passionate for that one night where the ghosts of the country clap for your commitment under the law right

    (Tumsboo says we can elope if COVID lasts another year so please everyone lick tavs face)

    Way ahead of you before I even heard about this Covid thing

    Hmm aren't there places to get a saline IV without incurring the insane medical bill

    I mean that's probably all I'd get. It's like bare minimum care. I don't need one.

    The past two weeks I've been eating super well and exercising like today I ran 5 miles, the most in close to three years. I've lost several pounds.

    If I can do that and still drink too much, dealing with my alcohol consumption is a tomorrow problem.

    Many applicants are not represented by an attorney. They are filling out forms on their own, following pages and pages of instructions that, even when simplified, are hard to understand, and that’s even if they are literate in a language that the forms and their instructions come in. When I was in the immigration clinic at school, our first application bounced because despite our diligent efforts, we missed a few empty boxes to write “N/A” in (a stupid ass trump era rule that I hope has been dumpstered). We drilled our client for hours and hours in the week leading up to the asylum interview. We produced a brick of supporting exhibits over 500+ pages long and a brief 50+ pages long, just for an affirmative asylum application. That’s a well-represented application. For every well-represented applicant, there are 50 pro se, figuring it all out on their own, or getting scammed by bad attorneys who promise the moon and get them thrown into removal proceedings. And, every week, we’d hope the AG, BIA, or SCOTUS wouldn’t reinterpret the INA or IIRIRA to make the process and the standards even more impossible to surmount.

    USCIS a) doesn’t belong in DHS b) needs more resources c) needs a stable law to apply
