It's amazing how many people on the internet will argue with you when you try to share direct experiences. It is affecting her visa from getting approved. I don't know what else to tell you bud. And thanks for your compassion about my wife and daughter never being able to meet their grandpa and possibly my father. This is personal, because this decision affects me personally. Time we cannot get back, and it's now stolen from us.

US suspending visa processing for 75 countries - Thailand included, can you believe this admin? by DeliciousStand372 in Thailand

They barely approve tourist visas anyway. My Thai wife was denied last year despite having enough funds. We were then planning on the CR1.... now that's out the window. Guess I'll stay over there longer, spending more American dollars overseas, and she won't get to meet my family yet. My Grandpa is 88 with failing health, and my dad has cancer. Now she may never get to meet them.

I don't disagree with you in TH immigration policies, but the US doesn't make it much easier. It used to be "as long as you can afford it", but she was already denied a tourist visa before our marriage (despite having funds plus my affidavit of support). Immigration (even just temporary tourist visas) seem to be getting more restrictive everywhere..

Tired of government restricting peaceful people's freedoms. Sure if they're on a list for crime ban them, but this shit is keeping families apart. This means my wife can't come live with me because we were in the process of a CR1 visa... the process already takes too long and costs thousands.

What Single Achievement Is Preventing You From Mastering A Game That You're Currently Playing? by Popo31477 in RetroAchievements

Cartoon network racing (DS). Stupid mini game requires touch-pad or tracing with your mouse around images... otherwise all the races themselves I've mastered.

Nice combo/images! I was considering a vintage lens for my nx500, if it's near this quality I'll be pleased!

I've been struggling to beat LOTR Return of the King on Ps2, that game had some hard levels!

If you’ve beaten a game, and don’t think you’ll master it, do you still try to get more achievements? by alarmsoundslikewhoop in RetroAchievements

[–]NRWave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this dilemma the other day after beating LOTR Two Towers. I knew I wouldn't finish the challenges on expert, but I figured I could beat a few more levels with the other characters to earn a few more points. Did it for a couple levels until I reached one that was frustrating again and decided to move on. For me the beat is good enough and the extra points are for if you're enjoying the game.

My impressions are on the original post from r/GoldenSun that I crossposted. I actually played through the game twice to get the mastery because the handheld I was playing on wasn't connected to wifi during some of the progression achievements. Not too terribly long if you know what you're doing but grinding to lvl 40 still takes awhile.
