HOLY CARP!!!
I'm filling out form i-485 today, the green card application, and in the section for mailing address, they have this:

Alternate and/or Safe Mailing Address

If you are applying based on the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) or as a special immigrant juvenile, human trafficking victim, or victim of a qualifying crime, and you do not want USCIS to send notices about his application to your home, you may provide an alternative and/or safe mailing address.


I thought it was kind of neat to see that in an otherwise cold bureaucratic information-oscopy form.

As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Oh Noes! The i-485 instructions sheet ruined it. Now I feel like America is caving in around my precious ideals. :darthno:

7. Evidence of Continuously Maintaining a Lawful Status Since Arrival in the United States

Anyone applying under the following immigrant categories must submit evidence to show they have continuously maintained lawful immigration status while in the United States and are therefore not barred from adjustment by INA section 245(c)(2): applicants applying under a family-based preference category or an employment-based preference category; special immigrant religious workers, Afghan or Iraqi nationals, and international broadcasters; and selectees under the Diversity Visa Lottery program.


I need confirmation that this is evil shortsighted ignorant xenophobia! Someone get me an anecdote about an Iraq or Afghan national who's day this totally ruined STAT!

Have you EVER committed a crime of any kind (even if you were not arrested, cited, charged with, or tried for that crime)?


Bold caps are in the green card application form.

That's quite a question!

Reminds me of that one on the income tax form where you're supposed to report your income from crimes. So they can get you for tax evasion, if nothing else.

And the ever humorous, "Have you made any purchases thru the internet that you have not paid sales tax".

Nope... not me. Next question. :whome:
Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
