for that particular data set, the 4th trimester of 2016 is not even there yet... and the stats for approval are for 2015. For 2016, it says 0% approval rate for inland and 96% for outland. So obviously, the real statistic for inland was not available.
4th trimester... love it :).

It was awesome when they had real stats available. But I guess we are back to the dark ages of just get'er done and worry about stats later.... *le sigh*

So, congressmen have come out since that was "suggested" by his friend, saying that they will take over the special counsel, and will re-hire Mueller if that happens. That said, Trump is sh*tting bricks, because the legal team that Mueller has built up to handle this consists of members who brought down Watergate and Enron, as well as prosecuted Clinton for some *innocent* fun with Monica.... What was she thinking??? lmao
LOL.....I can't wait....#45 impreached.

Will Sessions tell the truth or will he cover Agent Orange's butt.............

I can't even give you an opinion on Monica/Clinton that would not sound sexist. I was trying to find an emoticon.....

It wouldn't offend me. But it would likely offend others.... unfortunately, biology has created this paradox for us, 'enlightened' humans...

I will be watching to see what Jeff does. He was smart to take on the "Open" session. But Feinstein has already complained that it needs to be infront of the Judiciary committee, not intel. A judge issued a demand for the paperwork that Sessions submitted for his clearance to work at the DOJ, as well, comms from the WH to FBI WRT Priebus calling them... can't remember the specific subject matter around that, but the noose is tightening.

Yet, #45 states he was "Totally Vindicated". Why fire Mueller? Why does Sessions need to hide anything (I bet he invokes Executive Privilege)?

Here interestingly I got a case where one of my friend is filing for his wife through a rep and the rep said he is gonna send all the paperworks themselves, and it seems like they are least interested in let the client see what they are filing
I am still mulling over a systems design that can assist in preparing paperwork. I don't want to have too much in the way of continuous "service" (in that, I don't want to be updating PDF layouts everytime CIC sneezes and decides it needs a new form layout). I suppose it wouldn't be too bad to do them later in the evening, but if there is sufficient demand, I may be convinced to just do it.

I despise "representatives" who think their role ends at the point that paperwork was sent. Imagine.... $3000 just to complete the paperwork, that the people themselves have to supply the information for anyway.... I get that time is money, but seriously....

If I let people use an app (web app?) for filling out paperwork, even if it cost them $300 or $30, I bet there would be some market for it. HRMMMMM

this is another example of where you can spot my native French language... we say "trimestre" in French for what is called a quarter in English

gusy do i need to call the CIC for the re-schedule of my Landing?
I would! You've waited long enough. Also a trick I've learnt is, call through the citizenship line. You avoid having to press numbers as they transfer you right away. You still have to wait but approximately on average 15 mins AND you never get the "all agents are busy" crap

I was only teasing because it's cute... I sometimes play with english in that way. No offence intended ;)

My wife gets most of my teasing... when she wants to be picked up, "Can you pick me?" or she wants me to bring milk or oil home: "take olive oil from grocery"; "take milk please".

I suppose I really shouldn't....

The intent isn't to mine cash from those who are needing help... but there is an inherent cost in maintaining a solution. I might do it... the rage is still there ;)

I wasn't offended at all! I'm also used to tease my wife with her accent, she has a tendency to replace "w" with "v", like do ve go for a valk? But I'm far from perfect with my own accent. I have a tendency to pronounce "h" where there is no, basically, if I don't pay attention I will pronounce ate and hate the same way.

;)... my wife it's the opposite. I have been trying to get her to pronounce 'v' over the 'w'. She needs a "wisa" to "wisit" the USA after all It's a sound that they are not used to I guess.

My French is terrible. When I went to grade school, we only had a French teacher, and Téléfrançais. They taught us until grade...9...I think? It was compulsory until then. After that, it was up to you. if you wanted to continue learning it. So, that would be, 1993? 1992? last time I used it in a school setting. I will butcher pronunciation of most things French. Unfortunately, I just haven't used it to keep up. I'm terrible with the rolling-"R" sound. And here, I work with someone from Paris!

You should never make fun of people who speak another language -- they know more than you do! I just try to help her adapt (though no one has trouble understanding what she is saying). "You mean, 'Can you pick me UP', right?"


EDIT: It occurred to me that I barely speak English! I butcher that the worst!

Now, if we were talking about computer languages... I am a translator -- I can speak more than 20 fluently.

Just spoke with CIC (was finally able to speak with an agent after making over 2 dozens of attempts).

The agent confirmed that although he was able to see my upfront medicals in the system and that the medicals were valid until 3 August 2017.

However, he said that medicals were not yet linked to my PR application. He said that medical report sent through CSE may take sometime to get updated.

He also suggested that I retake the medicals since they would expire soon. Im an 29 April'16 applicant, wondering if I should retake the medicals at this stage.

Can't. They have to send you a IMM 1017 that has a valid IME# for them to be able to use it.
