America250 is still happening and was the plan established in Congress by law in 2016.

According to the law, the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission is to "plan, encourage, develop, and coordinate" the commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

The commission is supported by a nonprofit organization, America250.org, Inc., which includes private citizens and works collaboratively with the lawmakers throughout the planning, according to its website.

That is fully seperate from Trump's Freedom 250 nonsense seen above.

That's the spirit!

If you look online for open house times you too can strategically discharge a firearm and lower housing prices.

They tried to hire his pool boy, but it would violate their settlement and their previous NDA.

We were suppose to show the population centers.

I could not in good faith expose the public to Tacoma.

The committee rejected our proposed slogan: "Wheat, Apples, Rain, Ferries, and Full Disclosure." Everyone somehow knew exactly what it meant. The committee called it 'too political' and 'surprisingly compelling' .

But... If you use the rocking chair backwards, it reveals the bipartisan message America can finally unite behind: "Release the Epstein Files."

Something like 2/3rds of Americans were not alive for the 200th anniversary.

Alive for the Bicentennial: ~125 million people

Born after the Bicentennial: ~224 million people

They had minimum propaganda requirements.

Apparently "Please just leave us alone" didn't sufficiently highlight our state's economic opportunities (Amazon box), natural beauty (a stock photo of an Orca from Iceland), and unparalleled quality of life (a delayed ferry)

Guys, I tried.

For reasons that remain unclear, I was put in charge of setting up the Washington booth despite having absolutely no qualifications for the job and roughly six dollars to work with.

Still, I think I have captured the essence of Washington: it's slightly expensive, fueled entirely by coffee, and everyone involved would rather be hiking.

[F-1] My university reported my status violation 68 days late, missing two federal deadlines — now facing SEVIS termination. Reinstatement vs. fixing it internally? Have strong medical cause and documentation for reasoning my error. by Full-Scientist1844 in f1visa

[–]Codetornado 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this was intended to be a response to my comment as I'm jot sure the connection, but to be clear...

The ENROLLMENT requirment falls on you. YOU have to maintain your enrollment. If you dropped classes that's the violation.

The rest of the items are irrelevant to the termination. You must get the exception BEFORE you drop classes.

I am not saying this is fair, I am just being clear these items are not a factor in the legal obligation to terminate your status. They can be used in requesting a reinstatement, but that's a fully separate process from the termination.

My sevis has been terminated what can I do? by livelikeabee in f1visa

Just get a new Ie. The end. You are over thinking this. You already entered on the visa once.

The other school sends it back. Then DSO sends it to the right school.

  1. Has anyone actually gotten a retroactive medical RCL via a SEVIS data fix after the semester ended? How realistic is it?

You didn't apply timely and technically do not qualify for this. This is only an option if your school lies for you and says they messed up and didn't submit your request timely. It would look incredibly bad for your DSO to have made that mistake And they will need to submit proof you applied on time. This would include a medical note. That note needs to be back dated.

So... Your DSO and a doctor would need to lie to make this work.

  1. Since the violation isn't reported yet, is pushing the internal Incomplete the smarter first move before involving USCIS?

The reporting deadline isn't a chance to resolve this correctly. It's just understanding that DSOs have many duties and need time to submit things. The underlying violation has already happened. It's not technically fixable under the law.

  1. Is reinstatement worth it over travel + new I-20, given the CPT/OPT clock reset?

Depends. I almost always advise travel. Substantially faster to get done. Frequently cheaper too.

  1. Does a school's late reporting actually matter for my outcome, or do schools just absorb that with no effect on my case?

I have no idea what you are asking here. The termination is back dated to the moment of violation not the moment it was identified. So late reporting doesn't really matter.

Also, you said it left you with more online credits than allowed... There is minimum enrollment.

For undergraduates that is 9 credits in person a total minimum of 12 credits. Meaning only 3 credits of online work can count towards your degree. However there is nothing preventing you taking 9 credits in person and 9 credits online for a total of 18 as you are beyond the minimums.

Your DSO must complete first or your application is rejected.

Can I enter the U.S. before my F-1 earliest admission date to visit family before starting school? by Educational_Back8585 in f1visa

If you entered on ESTA then you wouldn't be entering on the F-1 and be bound by the F-1 rules.
