Background : I am an Australian Citizen. On a business trip to the USA (she was living in Los Angeles at the time) in 2016 I met my wife and we started dating. She is a US born citizen. I moved to the US on an E-3 (treaty visa between US and Australia) in mid 2017. My wife (girlfriend at the time) formed a new LLC and sponsored my E-3 visa. We moved in together in mid-2017. In July 2018 when on vacation in Greece I proposed and we got engaged. We married in a legal ceremony in September 2018 in Los Angeles and then had a large wedding celebration in the US with 300 friends and family in March 2019.
I applied for my I-130 and I-485 in December 2018 and we had a joint interview in July 2019.
In February 2020 the I-130 was approved by USCIS.
In March 2020, we moved from Los Angeles to West Palm Beach, Florida.
In June 2020 (start of the pandemic) I received a RFE and the questions had to do with my US tax returns from 2009 till 2020 (even though I had never filed a US tax return until 2018), a copy of our lease and the LLC tax returns since inception. I provided all these items in august 2020.
Since I sent the RFE response back, I have not heard from the USCIS on my I-485.
My wife and I are happily married and in September 2021 we had our first baby. We own property together and also own numerous businesses.
I’ve had a work authorization and advanced parole card for the entire time (except for 6 months in 2022 when there we’re processing delays). Right now my work authorization and advanced parole are valid till September 2024 (I received a 2 year card).
I have had two immigration lawyers on my file and the new one want me to file a lawsuit against the USCIS which I’m hesitant to do.
What are my options ?

I got my regions secured card in 2021 to build my credit (250$)
Waited 6 months and applied for discovery they gave me a secured card for 300$
Fastfoward 6 months from getting discover; they unsecured my card and gave me a healthy limit without inquiring on unsecuring or an increase.
Whereas regions still has not given me an increase almost 2 YEARS into this secured card (autopay ; no late payments at all) which i just noticed TODAY
My question is WHY ON EARTH would they “unsecure” the card; with no limit increase???
​
SN: i have tried to call about an account review to have this unsecured to no avail… REGIONS HAS BEEN HORRIBLE FOR ME

I (23M) have a friend, or rather had. Let's call her A (27F) So I know A since the day we joined college. But we became close friends in late 2021, almost four years later. One thing led to other and we became super close, real fast.
We spent most of our day together, and rest of the time we massaged or called each other, for hours. To be clear A was just my friend and I had no intention of a romantic relationship. Everything went well for 5-6 months. We became what people refer to as BFFs. She promised we'll be friends for life and she'll always be there for me. And so did I.
Then suddenly from April 2022, A's behavior started to change. She started shouting on me, blaming me for everything, picking up fights and basically pouring her anger out on me. I knew it was because her boyfriend was moving out of country (now ex, let's call him S), so I tried to be a good support system for her. But after sometime, I got affected by this erratic behavior and started arguing back (my fault, I know) and A ended up crying on calls due to this.
One day she shouted on me in front of others, on a false accusation. And bitched about me to others. I was hurt, I cried in front of my sister. But yeah, I apologized to A and we got back again. A few days, she showed extra affection and care. And after about a month, I unknowingly called her out about her behavior with a common friend's mother (later I found out, her behavior wasn't that bad and I was provided with wrong information)
She blamed me, which was only fair. But she kept comparing me to other people whom I know talk sh*t about her at her back. So I got emotional and apologised. I told her how badly she was treating me. And how her 'friends-on-pedestal' were jerks.
She just shouted and blocked me everywhere. Returned a soft toy gift, that arrived on that fateful day (later she kept it) I met her and she said she wants space for a week or two. Okay. I got busy with my work. But I made a doodle book for her in my spare time, depicting every detail about her childhood which she told me. I don't know why I thought it was a good idea. But I gave it to her after two weeks. And she messaged, she's better off without me. I somehow still thought it was momentary anger and treid to calm her down and apologize.
And she kept talking to me rudely. At points when she needed help, I helped without asking. Even though my friends and siblings telling me not to pursue her, I did. And finally we talked (a real conversation) in August, she told me all this time she was in depression. A week went by smoothly and I got to know she has broken up with S. And she started hanging out with D. D was our senior and he bitched about her to me and bitched about me to her.
So I tried to tell her, and she shouted on me again and sided with D, calling me liar and she was better off without me, and how D was so good a person. She even showed him my chats. Which D showed to multiple people. She even told our old conversations to her other friends, which got spread out. And even after a week of apologising and explaining she blocked me everywhere..
After a month, she unblocked me and told me, I'm a good guy and I just need to work on my habits. Things got better, she acted good during college fest, like she really cared. And even though I've ADHD and being impulsive, I really worked on my habits and bad traits which bothered her.
Then came her b'day and I made her a nice card, sent her a cake. And she didn't say thanks or she didn't even open the card and kept telling me she'll oepn it later on, when I asked. Things looked better than before, but she still felt distant. I still got one word or late replies, sometimes rude. She refused to take accountability of the fiasco with D and said he was right and I was wrong. But she deleted a Instagram story about him when I jokingly objected. As of now things between A and D doesn't look good.
So comes January 2023, and A tells me she's in relationship with a new guy and is planning to marry him, let's call him R. And she's only telling me all of this. She seemed happy, so I was happy. In between when I complained she was distant, she blocked me out of the blues, everywhere. When she unblocked me, I asked her and she vented out about issues in her family. I listened and again acted as her support system.
Fast forward to February, I was a little sad and tried to talk to her. And she said, 'Don't vent out on me' and blocked me again. She unblocked eventually, and reached out to me by herself, and apologised. Saying she has been overwhelmed by her own issues. Honestly I didn't talk much after that.
Since college was coming to an end, I asked her to hang out or just meet me. And she always came up with an excuse to avoid it. Although she had free time for other people. But somehow, I was one of her best friends. Same continued till last day. And she tried to avoid me even when she was leaving. It crushed me, and I cried that day.
At times she asked me for help. Like covering her shifts (we are residents), so I covered her 8 hour shifts along with my 16 hour shifts for 3 days in July 2022. Again, when no one came to her replacements I've covered her shifts for one more week in January 2023. I've defended her from my batchmates in heated arguments. I've been there when she needed me, or when no one came to her aid. And I've got a response, 'stop counting your favors'
I considered her my best friend. Would've let go of anyone just to be with her. And I did everything for her, with no expectations. Still I didn't get appropriated. My gifts were ignored, I made a cute video on mountains, just for her and she ignored it in the chats. She never apologized or even accepted when she hurt me. Yet she blamed me for everything and avoided me and acted cold most of the times. I've prayed countless days for things to get better between us, for her happiness. I've cried for days, became depressed and she was okay.
I'm not angry at her. I'm grateful for the good days with her. I still wish things would've been better between us. But she has stopped replying to me, so I've stopped talking to her, today will mark a month to it.
But I still want to know, I tried my best, went against everyone just to hold on to her, as I promised. Did everything I could, even changed my basic habits (and I'm thankful I did, I really needed it) to make her feel comfortable. Yet she was so distant and made me feel so unwanted and little, refused to meet or talk to me. As if I wasn't even her friend. And if I can still save this friendship.
TL;DR- Person I considered my best friend, became distant, without explanation. I tried my best and still everything is on the verge of falling apart.

Will be my first PC build. I have already ordered everything. And I'm very afraid that I won't be able to build. Because I never did. If you know of an interesting youtube channel or a site that explains more easily, please write. (where can I get help for assembly?)

I’ll start by saying u/Tupnado21 last year responded to one of my posts saying I was jumping back into the hobby but haven’t collected since high school in 2010-11. He sent over a massive care package of Yankees to help throw me back into collecting and basically sent me the 2022 Topps Base set of Yankees. Tup, you’re a legend and probably my favorite Red Sox fan (the only Red Sox fan I care for, honestly)
Who’s next? Who do you wanna shower with some love/praise?
(I’ll throw an added appreciation to u/tjay2233 for giving silver awards to my shit posts looking for that Trevino card, thanks man 🤗)

2021, I met a cat. He was one of dozens of strays I fed at my new apartment, but he didn’t run like the rest or hide from me. I could pick him up and he would snuggle with me in the same spot my dead grandfather always sat when he owned the porch swing.
Few months later, he’s bleeding out on my porch at 3am from a fight wound. I drive him to the emergency vet, my now fiancé pays the bill (love him) and says “we’ll, he’s ours now.”
Two months later, the ginger feline decides the inside life isn’t for him. He escapes. Limps back home hours later bleeding from what ended up being 12 puncture wounds to the abdomen and legs.
I put $600 on my largest balance credit card and planned to pay it down before the interest kicked in.
Then I lost one job (layoff), then my second job (layoff). Unemployed a month and got a temp recruiter job. They tried to keep me on, no dice.
Three unemployed months later, new job. Two months later, layoff number three.
Now I work part time as a cafe manager making maybe $11/hr, door shift at a bar 16hrs/week for $9 if I’m lucky, and my parents pay my rent.
Two days ago I used a small bonus to pay off the remaining $150 and finally clear the looming debt from my card.
Usually I’d treat myself to fried spicy tofu at my favorite place, but I can’t afford it.
I know this is just how life goes, but with moving back in w/ my parents in three weeks I’ll be too far away to just casually get this dish the next time I’m sad, depressed, tired, or even just celebrating a personal milestone.
It’s the little things that help the most, and sometimes rekindle the hurt.

Looking to get Delta Platinum for Global Entry and 2/$1 Skymiles on Restaurant’s. Amex is currently only offering me a upgrade offer of 30,000 bonus miles. However, last week I saw a targeted offer for 90,000 miles but when I went back today I can’t find it. Even after clearing history. The only offer I see is the 50,000 bonus miles. I’m really not enticed to get the card if I can’t get the 90K sub to make new account worthwhile. My goal is to eventually downgrade my current Gold Delta Amex to Blue. Have several upcoming trips and I want to get TSA Precheck. What should I do? Will I even be approved? Any other suggestions for new cards? I’m always lean more towards travel cards. I like to take trips. And yes, my favorite airline is Delta.
Current Cards:
CFU: December 2022 (Limit 10,600) CFF: May 2021 (Limit 1,000) CSP: July 2021 (Limit 5,000) Amex Delta Gold: February 2022 (Limit 19,500) Apple Card: November 2021 (Limit 6,500) Discover it: November 2020 (Limit 1,800)

I'm getting the parts together for my first PC build, but the only thing I'm unsure about is the motherboard. I'm still learning the differences between motherboards, so they're kind of hard to differentiate for me. I read that the Z690 now supports 13th gen CPUs, which would be handy because it doesn't seem to be capable of BIOS flashback, but I wanted to check to make sure. The computer will be used for playing and developing video games. Any suggestions? Or is what I have fine?

I haven’t shopped since august 2021. I’m considering starting it again. I redownloaded the app and ordered my physical card since my old one expired. I also added a digital card to my apple wallet.
I’m not seeing any orders. It’s possibly because I don’t have my physical card yet. Do you actually have to wait in the parking lot now to get orders?

I have been collecting baseball bills sports shines for a while now, started collecting them in May of 2021. As of today, I have 1032 baseball bills sports shines. I have one of every variety, along with my 1029 other unique ones. Enjoy my little guide to go along with it.
