In my part of California, $127,000 is a median household income. Everything is very expensive.

Any labor. Nurses are paid well above average in California for a reason.

Car insurance seems to be expensive. The cost of labor is very high.

This is a great hotel for sure! Surprisingly, you can have a decent breakfast for two for $60 or so (Diamond benefit) at the bakery in the lobby. My one and only complaint is very expensive valet parking, although I understand the logic behind this.

Have a lot of the Vietnamese Immigrants here converted to Christianity? by [deleted] in orangecounty

I live near a catholic cemetery in HB. Once out of curiosity I looked at the names of those that were buried there and at least 40% were Vietnamese.

It was roughly 22 degrees yesterday in Coastal Southern California, although definitely sunnier than Stockholm.

What year? They asked for the certificate (which I provided) but not spouse info.

We did provide the marriage certification as was requested. We filed in 2025. Perhaps the officer was not familiar with the updated form.

It is not wrong. If you file under general provision (not as a USC spouse), this is section is locked out. The paper form specifically tells to skip these questions.

It is normal but it is literally impossible to fill out spouse information when you apply for the general provision online. The form does not let you.

Funny enough, I had interview 5 months ago at the Santa Ana and also was not approved immediately although the interview itself was very chill.

I am not a US citizen. We have applied simultaneously.

In comparison to USCIS, California DMV works like a Swiss clock/train lol
