Voluntary COVID-19 Test For Travelers Traveling Outside The US

Image
My parents are traveling back home to India and one of the requirements for exempting them from institutional quarantine is to submit an RT-PCR negative report upon arrival in India. There are two types of COVID tests- the RT-PCR test is a lab test where results typically take 2-3 days while the Rapid test has the same-day result. The COVID test can also be taken at the airport upon arrival in India. However, you will have to make an appointment and wait for at least 8-10 hours at the airport until your test results arrive. That makes me think that they will probably be doing a Rapid Test since you have already arrived in India as opposed to their requirement of RT-PCR test before boarding the flight. To avoid the long wait time for the test result, we decided to get it done from here so that they had head back straight home after the long 24 hours journey. I live in Maryland and there are a lot of sites where one can get a COVID test done. Link here: https://coronavirus.baltimorec...

Image
Smule community is full of open hearted singers, and sex offenders know how to slow play their victims until they are ready for the ripe. Likewise, the internet is full of articles about karaoke apps like Smule and Musical.ly that have all sorts of psychos, pedophiles, and lunatics who demand nude photos, boob shows, or any kind of sexual acts. Recently, my friend was sexually harassed by a Smule user (under the pretext of love) so bad that she had almost quit Smule and ended up visiting a psychiatrist. How a Smule user was sexually harassed on the app? A woman joined Smule and got attracted to this handsome man with a melodious voice. He was a very charming person and a sweet talker.

Image
As per the October 2020 visa bulletin, the cutoff dates for EB-3 India advancing and becoming more favorable than the EB-2 India cutoff dates and creating EB-3 India downgrade opportunities for some.  Who will this benefit? EB-2 India applicants with a priority date between May 15, 2011, and January 1, 2015, would be able to downgrade to EB-3 and file I-485. Likewise, applicants who act faster, are better organized, who do not have a pending I-485 application, reside in an area where I-485 interviews are scheduled faster, and who have more advanced priority dates may expect faster I-485 approval under EB-3. This window has been extended till 30 November 2020 (as per the Nov visa bulletin) . Not sure if it will be open in November as well.  Why should someone consider downgrading from EB-2 to EB-3? Since the long-term wait time for EB-3 India Green Card is typically longer than that for EB-2,  it may ultimately take longer to get the green card approved unless there i...

Love At First Song

Image
Shraddha says: I met Aniket on a karaoke app and we have been chatting for the past two months. He is married with a son. However, his marriage is going through a rough time- he and his wife have been sleeping in separate rooms for the past few years. He seemed nice and very charming and I instantly got attracted to him. It all started with a very healthy friendship until one day he confessed his love for me. He said that when the time comes, he is ready to leave his wife and child for me and marry me and until then we should chat so we can understand each other very well. There is nothing wrong with my marriage. My husband and I love each other. Despite that, I just fell in love with this person. Everything was going fine until recently he pressurized me to send him nude pictures of myself to him and do nude video sex with him. I said NO because I do not want to and I am not going to. He broke up with me. I truly loved him and I was on the verge of committing suicide because I could ...

Online Dating: Use And Throw Relationship Culture

Image
You are 38 and happily married. He is 35, married with a child (and a wife, of course). You meet online during lockdown. In the beginning, you are not interested in him. But then he tells you a story. A story about his bad married life and how he and his wife don't get along. Sounds filmy, correct? Women are stupid when it comes to the matter of heart. They fall for the same story over and over again. You feel sad for him. Your sympathy gradually turns in to true love because he has been sweet-talking to you all this time, giving you all his attention, and claiming to love you like no one has loved before. He sends you flirty messages that turn in to sexting. You start liking his dirty talks. He makes you think that you are his priority. You can't stop thinking about him. His thoughts give you org**sm. Very soon, you start questioning your marriage and dream of a future where you two are together, forever. He repeatedly assures commitment. Unfortunately, you believe his bullshi...
