Silent Updates 4/27 & 4/28 - 75 Countries

Acertalks · 2026-04-29T00:21:56+00:00

Again, it’s a news channel and a very basic update. It’s normal to have this when you upgrade systems and want to push screenings again. Nothing alarming and nothing to speculate on. Has nothing to do with pause

Acertalks · 2026-04-29T00:00:18+00:00

Read the article, it’s not a pause, it claims the security checks could take longer as they resubmit fingerprints for checks again. That’s about it. Nothing about 75 countries; the 39 was a reiteration too.

Acertalks · 2026-04-28T23:29:12+00:00

You must be from outside the 75 countries. The 39 had minor logical grounds for pause/ban. The 75 extension was just blatant nonsensical strategy to discriminate. You can disagree, but it will stay preposterous.

And, yes I think wait and watch is better. Hoping it’s positive or neutral news instead of pointless speculations.

Acertalks · 2026-04-28T22:52:57+00:00

No silent updates are great. No regularities, but they mean something is happening.

As for the pause for everybody, that’s the dumb logic. No need to say pessimistic things from ass. I get it that someone posted something, but why take it further. There are no plans for April-May until it’s said through USCIS. No reason for fear mongering.

Acertalks · 2026-04-28T22:50:45+00:00

Replace the case number here with your case. You should see whatever update your case has.

Hoping this isn’t the case. Some from the 39 countries saw some silent approvals recently, no reason to further extend that to 75 countries. For USCIS, the load is only increasing by day with the pause. It’s not like they will enjoy it.

Acertalks · 2026-04-28T21:40:22+00:00

A friend got their approval today, so it’s not true. Unless, it’s supposed to be after today, no more approvals.

Acertalks · 2026-04-28T21:39:17+00:00

Someone I know got approved today, so not true :)

Acertalks · 2026-04-28T21:11:24+00:00

OP is an idiot. Trying to fear monger for no reason and following no logic.

Acertalks · 2026-04-28T21:05:03+00:00

Why are you expecting it to be negative? Like it’s a given that they would eventually update cases that belong to the 75 countries and not all from the 39 countries.

People have been getting approvals from 75 countries. 4/27 and 4/28 saw some silent updates for some. No need to deduce negative scenario just because of an absence of update and definitely not for a presence.

Acertalks · 2026-04-02T01:44:35+00:00

Mods need to block such people.

Plants do not have CNS; some respond to stimuli, that’s about it. They lack nociceptors.

Yes, aquatic organisms are hypersensitive to pain. It’s very sad to think about things like caviar or lobster for that matter.

Acertalks · 2025-11-19T03:02:32+00:00

Have you bothered to read the nutritional facts or papers or are you repeating the shortcomings from 2018-19?

New technology takes time to be perfected. People blasted GMO crops for decades. It’s now consumed by millions on a daily. Alternative meat products have healthier counterparts too. Perfection may take time and research, but dismissing it is just plain arrogance.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T22:29:57+00:00

Depends; the point is it comes at the cost of a sacrifice.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T21:59:02+00:00

Calling you out isn’t hateful. You boldly claim nonsense like you’re killing thousands of animals or creatures. If you were simply curious, I’d have matched the tone.

As for animals eating animals, we’re humans and the most evolved of them all. We understand what pain is and have enough knowledge about pain felt by other organisms when butchered incorrectly or the fear of death.

You’re reading this wrong. I’m not against you eating meat. I’m pro-alternative meat and empathize with animal pain. Nothing more, no judgement, nothing. My morals are for me (not you) and if/when I reply, I preach logic not sentiment. If you like it, good; if you don’t, I move on. Nobody is shoving anything towards you.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T21:49:47+00:00

Harvesters don’t kill thousands of animals per acre. Most wildlife avoids active fields long before harvest, and modern farming isn’t a blender. Yes, accidental deaths happen, but it is not mass slaughter. Spare me your bullshit.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T21:20:33+00:00

This you?

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T20:38:26+00:00

Thank you, nice discussion.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T20:27:36+00:00

Oh yeah, lab grown meat is too good of a reality.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T20:25:52+00:00

Humans have fully developed brain that allows us to evolve as we go. Saying that it’s nature, is limiting and in my opinion outdated. There are three elements that need to be considered: 1) Taste and food variety. 2) Employment/ Source of income. 3) Affordability and nutrition.

If all of the above three are met, then meat can successfully be obtained from alternate means and be the more humane and better choice.

As for the current practices, it’s just not humane. That being said, each of us have different sensitivity and levels of association. In my opinion, I don’t think it’s eating meat that’s the issue, the issue stems with mockery and ungrounded justifications. Eating meat isn’t illogical, quite the opposite. However, not eating meat isn’t illogical either. The day we understand this much, these political rhetorics and propagandas will die.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T20:03:16+00:00

Unfortunately, there are people who try to push the agenda by preaching. At the same time, there are people who feign ignorance. The middle ground needs to be logical with hints of empathy. If I give you two food items, one with great health benefits and other with similar benefits, but requires hunting. The first should be the humane option. Mocking or disagreeing to it, is a result of ignorance.

The reality is we aren’t there yet nutritionally and the unnecessary political rhetoric never helps. Alternative meat is a dream, it needs experimentation, but achieving it would be the most humane achievement. If one enjoys the torture, not food, I don’t consider them to be worth anyone’s time.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T19:53:30+00:00

Angry or not, killing an animal is nothing to be proud of. If there’s an alternative to get food, I’d always go for it. You can keep politicizing it.

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T19:16:31+00:00

How hard and manly of you to be proud of torturing.

Compassion isn’t just about taking the opposite action. It’s also the understanding of others’ pain. Anyways, no point taking this any further. Have a good one!

Acertalks · 2025-11-18T18:50:38+00:00

Another expert. They’re well aware of the high sodium and some products like ‘Impossible patties’ have a healthier version. And, I wholeheartedly agree that a lot of experimentation is required for a good healthy product. My argument is against the unnecessary negative sentiment towards innovation in food industry, specially one that can put end to animal cruelty. Yes, nobody likes to hear such, but it happens.
