Getting More Expensive to Come to America
The USCIS recently published a Proposed Rule to increase filing fees for immigration forms. If you have any idea about applying for some immigration-related benefit I suggest you do it before April when these might come into effect.
| Form | Old Fee | Proposed Fee |
|---|---|---|
| N-400 Application for Citizenship | $330 | $595 |
| I-485 Application for Permanent Resident Status | $325 | $905 |
| I-140 Immigrant Worker Petition | $195 | $475 |
| I-765 Employment Authorisation | $180 | $340 |
| I-751 Application to Remove Condition of Residence | $205 | $465 |
| I-829 Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions | $475 | $2,850 |
My N-400 is complete and awaiting a stamp, and a $330 cheque.
Proud To Be An Ugly American!
No, not me, not yet anyways…. but our good friend Eric Galvan from the local rag. Its Friday so it must be rant ‘o’ the week time and Mr G doesn’t disappoint. If you want to read it, go ahead and take a look after the jump. Of course he’s trying to be provocative but I don’t think he has the intelligence to pull it off without looking like an angry jerk. I’d say but at least it sells news papers except that I don’t know anyone who admits to reading what he writes.
And Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump…
Seriously, how did such losers, unattractive losers at that, get on TV?
I Hate Larry King
Last night I saw a trailer for some movie and one of the “its great” quotes was from Larry King. Wtf does anyone think his opinion would make anyone go see a movie? The fact that they had to resort to someone like him to endorse the film pretty much comes right out and says the movie blows.
I hate Larry King.
Whats the Deal With O.J.?
I’d never heard of O.J. Simpson before the murders but I gather he was some major celebrity in the sports world until then. Obviously you have to be more than a little crazy to butcher your family, but what the hell is going on with this new book and TV interview that is coming up? Fox has aired some pretty awful material but this has to be just the worst thing ever and of course it will be popular because people can’t not watch such a thing. Ugh, the whole thing is totally beyond me.
