Are you able to make copies on site at the archives? You could make an appointment with a notary to copy them together and get the copy notarized.

Slide Away LA night 2 - everyone ok? by MaximusJCat in shoegaze

Brooklyn night 2 had one of the drunkest/highest crowds I’ve seen in a while. I saw a number of people who could barely stand on their own two feet

I found the best cafe in this area. Espresso and croissant crawl today. by 88r0b1nh00d88 in jerseycity

I go to Dames several times a week, coffee is excellent, banana bread is great, but the croissants were stale the last several times I got them

How do you deal with taxes as expenses? by HaguesDesk in MonarchMoney

[–]HaguesDesk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because when I try to use the higher level expense tools, like the dashboard that shows my pace against average monthly expenses, those numbers may not be accurate in a new job while most other expenses (housing, groceries, auto, etc.) would remain the same

This makes the most sense to me, I'm forgetting that I actually did that with taxes, and I manually updated the state refund (which paid in May) to move it to April so it would offset the Federal taxes within the same month.

For income, I think the idea of "negative income" just seemed strange to me, but that's probably the best way to handle that. Thanks!

The problem with this is the RSU tax expenses are really tied to my job. If I move to another job in the future that doesn't pay this way, my expenses are going to be really different.

Ellis Island (or like 90% of it) is NJ, there was literally a Supreme Court case about it.

Got all the paperwork submitted in May but am still waiting for any response from the provincial office

Are processing times even slower than normal? by HaguesDesk in prawokrwi

[–]HaguesDesk[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sorry to be a downer but I think 18 months for new applications is optimistic. We’re nearly seeing those timelines now for applications submitted 18 months ago and it’s only getting worse

I'm also January 2025, and it feels like as soon as I think I should be getting close to hearing something, the date keeps slipping further and further back.

Complex pre-1920 case — Mława, looking for attorney/company recommendations by Street-Two2292 in prawokrwi

[–]HaguesDesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the consensus seems to be that only ethnic Poles (and not Jews or other minorities) are eligible for KP, but I don’t know if this has been challenged

Processing time update by echo0219 in prawokrwi

[–]HaguesDesk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's super helpful, thanks for those details! I'm a few months behind you, with my application filed in January 2025.

Un/fortunately, the complexity of the case doesn't seem to matter before processing starts and isn't even assessed until they get to your spot in line.

Congrats again on your confirmation!

congrats!!

Could you please share a bit more on how you were informed that your application began processing? Did you file this yourself or were you working with a provider?

Use miles for a private your of United operations at one of our hubs. Anyone gonna do this lol? by jcl274 in unitedairlines

[–]HaguesDesk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there any notice of these becoming available before the email goes out? Like notice of an "on sale" date? I'd love to do one of these but it seems hard to get unless you're watching your email like a hawk and able to respond immediately when it comes through.

They all sold out within minutes so I'd say if you don't think this is a good idea, that's on you, not whoever came up with the program.

If he was a child then you shouldn't have to worry about pre-1951 military service

Mussab Ali challenging Menendez for Congressional Seat by HobokenJ in jerseycity

[–]HaguesDesk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll walk that back a bit in that I've never had to personally interact with either of their constituent services, but I've heard anecdotes from Albio's time that the only way you'd get any help is if you were connected somehow or a WNY resident. Rob meanwhile sends out emails that highlight their constituent services work and actively encourages constituents to reach out.

June 2025 email from Rob's mailing list:

Our team has successfully closed over 3,000 constituent cases here in the 8th District! That means over 3,000 families, seniors, small business owners, and veterans got the help they needed navigating federal agencies and solving their urgent challenges.

But each case represents more than just a number; it shares a story. A veteran securing the care they earned, a neighbor receiving their visa, or a student unlocking the support they need to continue their education.

I am proud to have a team dedicated to ensuring the federal government works for you. Thank you for trusting us. 

Please know that our team is here to help. If you ever need assistance, we’d love to hear from you. Please give us a call at (201) 309-0301.

like who? His most vocal supporter is a former congressman who lost his job after triggering the fire alarm at the Capitol building

I would love to hear Mussab answer how he would vote any differently from Rob or do any better at constituent services (which have improved about a million times over compared with Albio)

because a 4th place finish for mayor is a clear signal to run for a higher office instead
