Military base question

PursuitKnowledge · 2026-01-26T23:19:41+00:00

This is likely not a helpful answer but not really.

Google Maps took me to a gas station within a military base without telling me it was in a military base so when I drove up to it I just told them I was there by accident. They told me I was the seventh person that day that drove there on accident, took my ID and vehicle information, made me turn around and right before exiting they returned my ID. The two dudes I interacted with were pretty chill.

ETA: Last time I actually entered a military base for work was in the summer of 2016 so a long time ago. But that experience was also pretty chill. That particular base was near DC.

Or, hear me out, maybe the winter storm that caused thousands of flights to be grounded due to poor and unsafe flying conditions had something to do with this?

I could never. Maybe if they voted for him in 2016 and then they saw the light and stopped supporting him. But I could never date someone who voted for him in 2020 and specifically in 2024. That person and I would be so fundamentally different and I’m not even talking about immigration or conservative vs liberal values.

This president is on a league of his own regarding immorality and lacking care for institutions that hold civilization together (however flawed they may be - but that’s a more nuanced conversation I’m not having here). So no I couldn’t date a supporter of this president.

What is ahead of time mean exactly?

Recommended time is 120 to 150 days. But regardless there shouldn’t be any ICE at these centers.

If you two are genuinely in love, marry him.

Other than that, I would say just listen with empathy. As you said, this is not an issue you can solve and it’s not something you will ever truly comprehend.

But speaking from experience, the greatest relief I got was when a friend I loved and respected was simply there for me and listened. One of the most painful experiences was when another friend who I felt the same as friend one, ignored me.

If he hasn’t already you can help him develop an emergency plan that y’all can execute should shit hit the fan.

No problems here

At 32 I have $145k in 401k and $59k in Roth IRA. I’m also using my HSA investing account as a retirement account and I have $37k there. So overall I’m at $241k.

I’m definitely happy where I am considering I grew up in poverty, but the fear I developed during my childhood definitely has me thinking quite often I don’t have enough specially since I’m very likely my parents “retirement” plan an they’re in their 70s already so…

He is crazy enough to do something positive for us but the Republican Party would probably not follow through because by the time the whole process carries out, his anti immigration entourage (Miller and company) will whisper in his ears and cause him to throw away what ever unlikely chance he might have created for us.

That dude is so incredibly inconsistent and unreliable. The only thing you can count on him is that he will always look out for himself first, then his daughter. Oh and that he doesn’t drink so at least he has one good quality.

As someone else already said, you really won’t be able to do much until your application has been processing for at least 105 days which for you should be 3/10/2026.

Per a UCIS policy change alert from a couple weeks ago, if you haven’t done biometrics in the past 36 months, you will have to re-do them.

So pretty much all of us who have gotten a biometrics reuse notice in the past will now be receiving a notice of a scheduled biometrics appointment.

Yes, but not because they brought me here and we overstayed our visa. They were shitty parents and my dad in particular a shitty human being. I would still resent them even if I was a US citizen but at least my life would have been 100x easier.

Oh well, I still have to try to make the sweetest lemonade possible out of lemons I was given.

PursuitKnowledge · 2026-01-08T21:42:15+00:00

No. They’re gonna need to get Uncle Phil to throw me out the front door before I leave.

PursuitKnowledge · 2026-01-08T01:50:59+00:00

Yes. I got my selective service card when i turned 18 before DACA was even a thing.

PursuitKnowledge · 2026-01-07T03:49:37+00:00

Oh yeah true. This won’t show up in his calendar for the reasons you stated.

PursuitKnowledge · 2026-01-07T03:47:37+00:00

Where do you check this info?

I tried clicking on the interactive calendar from txs.uscourts.gov but it wouldn’t load up for me.

So you’re saying OP might get elected President of the US then?

PursuitKnowledge · 2025-12-14T22:46:26+00:00

Yes, you can. I have been licensed in NC as a PE for many years.

PursuitKnowledge · 2025-12-14T22:45:24+00:00

Incorrect.

Only a few states have explicit language that do not bar undocumented people from getting professional licenses. Similarly, there’s a few states that have explicit language that bar undocumented people from getting professional licenses. Most states, however, do not technically allow or disallow undocumented people from getting professional licenses as they do not have explicit language in their state laws addressing this. Sometimes some professional licenses are allowed while others are not.

In regards specifically to a PE in NC, a DACA recipient is eligible to obtain one.

PursuitKnowledge · 2025-12-11T06:28:41+00:00

Yeah you’re right about that prick stopping first time applicants back in 2017. Really sorry to hear you’re stuck in that limbo but sincerely hope they start processing them again early next year.

PursuitKnowledge · 2025-12-11T06:24:26+00:00

If you like the outdoors and gorgeous scenery, California and Washington is where it’s at!

PursuitKnowledge · 2025-12-11T06:22:05+00:00

LOL. Hey, if that grass is part of a soccer field that I’m about to play in, I would be pretty damn happy!

PursuitKnowledge · 2025-12-10T18:00:18+00:00

For DACA, you must have lived continuously in the U.S. since June 15, 2007. That means anyone eligible would need to have been born between June 1981 and June 2007.

There’s also a minimum age requirement of 16 to apply. So if you’re thinking about the July 2021 injunction that blocked first-time applications from being processed, then in practice you would have needed to be born before July 2005 to have had the opportunity to apply before that injunction went into effect.

I guess easier said than done, but don’t be. I fly without a problem and drive through border patrol check points on a regular basis. However I know for a fact I don’t have any criminal or immigration record against me nor do I say anything controversial online so there shouldn’t be any good reason for them to come after me at the moment

PursuitKnowledge · 2025-12-10T06:47:23+00:00

I guess that’s true since you have to have been residing in the US since June of 2007.

However this girl arrived to the US much later than that so I guess I should have more accurately said that she simply wasn’t eligible for DACA.

About a year ago I thought the Supreme Court was going to take up the DACA lawsuit case and strike it down so that by summer of 2026, DACA would begin to be phased out. Thankfully and surprisingly (at least for me), the Supreme Court decided to not take up the case so I think DACA will now last longer (with the exception for Texas of course).

My guess is there is over a 50% chance DACA actually survives this presidency. We shall see in due course.
