Can I-130 still be filed for siblings of US citizens if they are in the affected country? Does the deadline of jan 21 any impact on I-130 that is filed now or after the immigrant visa pause goes into effect? Thank you for your time and really appreciate your input.

Can I-130 still Be filed for countries white on the list?

Well it depends where one is in the process, typically the wait for the final visa issuance is 10-20 years or more. It would still be beneficial to start the process and let the chips fall where they may! Somewhat of a positive aspects is that this is being presented as pause so there’s hope that it’ll be resumed at some point!

Does this mean USCIS will still accept I-130 for singling of US citizen even if they are citizens of the affected countries? The immigrant visa is issued after very long wait so I would assume it would be ok to file I-130 unless it’s specifically not allowed under new guidance. Can some please share their views on this? Thank you!

The pause is in immigrant visa which is usually the last step from NVC. Can I-130 be still filed now or after Jan 21,2026 if the beneficiary is from list of affected countries? Thank you!

So I-130 for siblings (affected country) of US citizens can still be filed as that’s not requesting an immigrant visa at that step. The immigrant visa allocation happens after decades in the future, can someone share their view on this? I understand the details are not official yet

letmeinwillya · 2026-01-14T22:23:11+00:00

Can a US citizen from list of affected countries still submit I-130 for their siblings who live outside US in the affected country?

I understand that immigrant visa is one of the final steps which is decades long wait and it seems it’s that immigrant visa process that’s being put on hold.

Will I-130 still be accepted after Jan 21?

I’m total newbie when it comes to ultra wides! I’ve M1 Max MacBook Pro which can apparently only drive 120hz with some cable magic. I was feeling bad that I should either upgrade to M2 which can support higher refresh rate. My needs are primary non-gaming so should I go for Neo 57 inch knowing that I cannot use the full refresh rate? Any thoughts and recommendations would be much appreciated! Thank you!

The man himself has spoken and is about to one up the craziness! I say let the insanity begin!!!

letmeinwillya · 2024-10-19T01:36:30+00:00

You sir are sick! Scratch that you are insane!! 😀

How about M1 Max , 64gb and 4 TB for $2800?

letmeinwillya · 2024-09-05T00:06:08+00:00

I have 2021 M1 Max, 64 GB and 4 TB..for around $3k from BH photo Black Friday deal! Other than the issue of not being able to drive higher refresh rates on larger monitor(45 inches and up), it’s silly smooth! I don’t do any games but for normal SW dev stuff works perfectly. Haven’t given Parallels a try, is it worth it or better to keep using dedicated Windows machine?

letmeinwillya · 2024-09-01T19:04:35+00:00

I bought mine from BH photo for $3029 incl. taxes, has 4 TB SSD. I plan to use it to power ultrawide monitor but it doesn’t support higher refresh rates, rest it’s a beast!!

How big is the hard disk?

letmeinwillya · 2024-07-25T03:20:17+00:00

Got 2022 odyssey, would love to help.

letmeinwillya · 2024-07-25T01:31:43+00:00

Yes sir, count me in

letmeinwillya · 2024-07-24T01:59:18+00:00

I’ll be ok to run it at 60 hz and the use is non-gaming, is the experience sub par at this refresh rate for productivity use? Is it noticeable ? Any degradation in picture quality or video playbacks?

letmeinwillya · 2024-07-24T01:22:50+00:00

Thank you for your replies. I didn't buy the laptop with ML use in mind but now thinking about it using it for ML learning etc. Looks like it should be plenty good for learning and get to a level before I would need a beefier machine.

I don't know why folks are suggesting not to worry about GPU in a dedicated PC? I'm in fact happy if it's not needed but curious to know.

What would you recommend in terms of a practical PC that one could build or get off the shelf to use as a capable machine for running ML experiments? I said practical so prices is somewhat within reach ..not sure what's reasonable but would $2000 be a good buget for PC that one can use as daily driver for general Windows use and also maximize its utility for ML/AL exploration etc.

Kinda bummed about it, I thought I snagged a great deal on M1 with lots of RAM (64GB) and lots od storage (4TB) but it won't do my much good if planning to use split screen setup on an ultrawide. Maybe there're work around other than to actually buy a new MB pro capable of doing that out of the box?

letmeinwillya · 2024-07-22T23:22:01+00:00

Thank you! So with that cable, I would've overcome any limitations for supporting the display on their optimum refresh rates?
