I recently had my I-140 approved with Chen (ROW) and am currently preparing my I-485. My case is straightforward: no dependents and no criminal background. I want to retain Chen for the I-485, but I know they will take their sweet time because the ROW is current.

I had some revisions to a manuscript I had to do this week, and since it had a deadline, I mainly focused on that. At the same time, I kind of feel guilty for not doing the postdoc research, which is what I am getting paid to do. So how do you balance these things out?
It took the Tennessee lawmakers just three days to pass a mid-decade congressional map during a special session.
Meanwhile, California and Virginia have to go through referendums, and Virginia's, which the Democrats won, was later thrown out by the Virginia SC.
Who even came up with this concept of Independent Redistricting Commissions? This is like bringing a knife to a gun fight, with one side unilaterally disarmed in redistricting fights.

There have been some cases of U-visa fraud, as in the case here [ https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/uscis-uncovers-u-visa-fraud-scheme-by-corrupt-law-enforcement-leading-to-federal-indictments }. In that case, Patel was allegedly involved in over 500 cases. Does USCIS retroactively go back and deny those cases? I haven't been able to read up on any updates on those fraudsters.
