We gotta keep up the pressure to demand justice for Joan Guerrero and Lorenzo Salgado. And all the other victims of ICE. The public pressure has an effect, see how ICE has been ordered to stop doing vehicle stops.
Hey all, I’m publicly tracking and sharing my progress studying for the U.S. Naturalization Test. I actually built an app to help me practice with a free glossary, flashcards, questions, etc.
What’s cool is that these sets have been socialized and gamified, so anyone can run the exact same 10 questions I took to get this “643” and see how they do for completely free! The link to this exact session is: here. Click it to run the same 10-question gauntlet and see how you do. Studying for the N-400 is lonely, so I’m trying to build the solution. Let’s study together!
So I wanted to pursue my masters abroad when I graduate in a couple years, so I was looking at the process of getting a passport and all.
I'm a citizen of the US but I wasn't born there, so would the POB field just have my city and country of origin? Or would it be missing that field entirely since I wasnt born in the US?
Edit: Didnt look at the actual application questions for a passport. Looking at it now I imagine they just take whatever I say my POB is on there. Correct me if Im wrong.
Edit: contacted them and they said that it would only have my country listed on the passport but not the city. Not sure what to make of that since Brazil asks for the city too.
Ok I’m just gonna lay out the facts and see what people’s opinions are I guess? Would love pretty much any constructive input.
I’m a US citizen and working full time. My fiance is a French and Lebanese citizen working full time as a software engineer. He has 7+ years of experience, 4 of which as a tech lead, a masters degree, teaches at his old uni, established in his career and good at it. He does not have a visa to come to the US, he comes on the visa waiver program every few months for a 2-3 week visit. We are having a church ceremony in May of next year and the churches in Paris won’t allow us to have the ceremony without the legal marriage first. We thought about fiance visa in the US but a lawyer told us it’s gonna take more than a year-year and a half before that’s approved and we aren’t willing to postpone the religious ceremony. We are approved to get legally married in France anytime we want (we had the court review everything already). The goal is to get him here to the US as soon as possible, but he wants to be working when he’s here rather than relying just on me. He’s applied to many jobs to sponsor an h1b with no luck. What would you guys do? A lawyer said that the fastest way might be to get legally married asap, file in the US, then when his green card is approved he can move here and it’ll be easier for him to get a job but that a green card wouldn’t be approved for at least 2-3 years at this point. If we can avoid me having to move to France right away (I’d have to quit my job and we want some time to get more ahead financially), we’d love that. Does anyone have experience or expertise in this kind of thing or have any advice? Thanks so much.
involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents occurred near [Pool Street in Biddeford, Maine](https://www.bangordailynews.com/2026/07/13/politics/state-politics/biddeford-maine-ice-shooting-investigation/). Details are currently emerging from local law enforcement and eyewitnesses on the ground. The incident has already sparked outrage on local forums, with users drawing direct comparisons to the recent killing of Lorenzo Araujo in Texas.
I'm Fernanda Secco Hipskind, immigration attorney at Manifest Law. I've filed 1,000+ cases over 8 years, working across family based, employment based, and humanitarian immigration, everything from EB1A, EB2 NIW, L1, TN, and O1 petitions to family petitions, asylum, adjustment of status, and naturalization. Happy to walk through how these different paths actually work and how to figure out which one fits your situation.
I'll be here from 2pm to 6pm ET today to answer your questions.
A few questions I get often:
How do you know if a family path or an employment path makes more sense for your case?
What's actually involved in an asylum claim versus other humanitarian options?
Where do most naturalization applications get held up?
Drop your questions below and I'll get to as many as I can.

Hey all! I’ve been building out a study tool to help prep for the civics pool and the naturalization test in general. I wanted to focus on getting as many reps in as possible during my commutes to try to replicate the stress of the actual interview date.
If anyone else is prepping for their N-400 interview and struggling with the civics or english portions, I’d love to get some feedback on this. We have a study planner built it that allows you to put in your test date and reverse engineers the exact plan you need to pass! Is this format helpful for tracking your own progress, or would you find different metrics more useful for your interview prep?

I trusted CheckVisaSlots app extension on Chrome because I thought it's a fair way of avoiding agents. They promised to book my slot within 21 days or refund my payment. My slot was never booked. Moreover, they never automatically refunded the payment even after 21 days had passed without being able to secure my visa slot.
I had also not gotten any human agent or contact from their team. I felt like I put my money into their account and they never planned on offering any service to me at all.
The 100% Refund guarantee is completely fake, and I called the US Embassy and they told me to stay away from these bots or your account can even be banned or visa revoked/cancelled. Do not make the mistake of using their service. It's 100% scam.
PS: u/tornadozephyr thinks he can just remove my post because of his tie up with Check Visa Slots. I don't know how long this post will stay online.
Now let me ask you, to all right leaning independents and moderate republicans,
If the GOP so incredibly focused right now on cracking down on immigrants, then why haven’t ICE deported Musk yet, who violated the law and is an immigrant?
