It’s not that hard to get a long list of symptoms for long covid. Just watch this thread as it grows, and you’ll easily find dozens. Things like this end up being a lint trap for people who just feel bad for whatever reason (which is all of

Before you can investigate the causes of an illness, you have to define it. Otherwise, you’re chasing an ever-shifting cloud of ambiguous symptoms, any of which could have different causes. The article opens with this admission, so I’m no

No, this isn’t true, and the article makes the same fundamental mistake. While certainly deaths are a more reliable indicator than diagnoses, you always expect to see an increase in “deaths from X” when you more aggressively screen for X. T

If you think the policy is wrong, make an argument why. Don't just call people names. All the words you've spent here, and you still can't bring yourself to make a single argument against the thing you hate so much.

We agree that the Japanese system is far more consistent. I think it's better! But let's not kid ourselves: if the US instituted a CEFR B2 language requirement [1] for anyone on an H1B visa to gain residency, it would be an absol

I didn't ask you to make an argument that the administration has lied . That's trivial. And though you're getting closer with "the administration has lied about immigration issues in the past", again, that's t

I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I don't think I'm "talking past" the people I'm replying to -- I understand exactly what they're saying, I get that these are emotional outbursts, and I'm simply trying

Yes, it's temporary, but the 1990 act explicitly established dual-intent, which clearly made the visa eligible for adjustment of status under INA 245. Nobody is really debating that fact, but the announcement memo is also not clear abo
255.
by timr 5mo ago
Dual intent didn't exist when INA 245 (= 8 USC 1255) was drafted. My current understanding is that the "carveout", as it were, is the creation of the notion of dual-status itself, in the 1990 immigration act. This made H1b vi

by timr 5mo ago
I'm not sure which statute you're talking about. The one establishing adjustment of status as a process was the immigration act of 1952; 8 USC 1255: https://codes.findlaw.com/us/title-8-aliens-and-nationality&

If you mean that there is a general law related to change-of-status that was passed in the 70s (or whatever), then yes. But I'm referring to specific wording in the dual-status visa categories (and perhaps some others?) that explicitly

It’s a shame that I had to scroll past pages of invective and name-calling to get to your comment, which is the first one to substantively deal with the policy change. Like you, I tend to think this is a ham-handed move, but like one of the

Well that’s cute. We’re so far around the bend now that making a plea to do something other than scream “liar” at your opponent has been characterized as a malevolent political ploy. For the record, you didn’t even read the first paragraph

My understanding is that the dual-intent visa categories have change-of-status rules written into law.

The note is not “grossly wrong”. It’s from the USCIS website. It’s consistent with many other independent legal sources that you can find with a trivial web search. > ICE was/is putting them in jail while they appear for immigration

Yeah, that's a wild leap to conclusions. The "accrual of unlawful presence" is when you overstay a visa, or otherwise stay in the USA illegally. Here's the definition: https://www.uscis.gov/laws-and-polic
