Until July 20, 2022, Afghan SIV applicants had to apply for Chief of Mission (COM) approval with the U.S Department of State using the DS-157 form. Then after receiving COM approval, applicants had to file an I-360 petition for special immigrants with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) as a separate step.

Beginning July 20, 2022, new Afghan SIV applicants need to submit only a DS-157 form along with their COM approval application. The Department of State will process this form both for COM approval and as a special immigrant petition. New Afghan SIV applicants will no longer need to file an I-360 petition.

A special immigrant is a person who qualifies for lawful permanent residence under one of several programs. Section 602(b) of the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009, as amended, is a special immigrant program, which authorizes the issuance of Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) to Afghan nationals who meet certain requirements:

Beginning July 20, 2022, new Afghan SIV applicants need to submit only a DS-157 form along with their COM approval application. The Department of State will process this form both for COM approval and as a special immigrant petition. New Afghan SIV applicants will no longer need to file an I-360 petition.

Step 6 - NVC ProcessingStarting July 20, 2022, the Form DS-157 Petition for Special Immigrant Classification for Afghan SIV Applicants which you must file together with your COM application, will be processed by the COM or COM Designee as your special immigrant petition. Under this new petition process, starting July 20, 2022, if you are granted COM and petition approval, NVC will send you an approval letter and instructions on how to continue the SIV application process. Some Afghan SIV applicants may however still be required to file an I-360 petition with USCIS. For those applicants only after USCIS approves your petition, they will transfer your case to the Department of State's National Visa Center (NVC). NVC will send you a Welcome Letter by e-mail. With the information in this letter, you can log in to our Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) to complete your Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration (Form DS-260) and submit your supporting documents.

This law, signed on February 15, 2019, amends the Afghan SIV program by adding 4,000 additional visas, conditioned on the development and implementation of a prioritization process for Afghan special immigrant visas and the submission of three reports to the appropriate congressional committees.

This law allowed up to 1,500 Afghan nationals who provided faithful and valuable service to the U.S. government, while employed by or on behalf of the U.S. government in Afghanistan after October 7, 2001, for not less than one year, and who have experienced or are experiencing an ongoing serious threat as a consequence of that employment, to receive special immigrant visas (SIVs) annually through FY 2013, with the allocation of any unused visas from FY 2013 to FY 2014. The period of qualifying employment was later extended under subsequent legislation. See law above.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) may establish higher rates of basic pay - special rates - for a group orcategory of General Schedule (GS) positions in one or more geographicareas to address existing or likely significant handicaps in recruitingor retaining well-qualified employees. OPM may establish special ratesfor nearly any category of employee - i.e., by series, specialty,grade-level, and/or geographic area.

To find a specific special rates table use this search engine. For a complete set of currentspecial rates tables, use this link for a printable HTML version (set your printer to landscape mode for best results). The current special rates tables are indexed by occupation, agency, and location(these can also be printed).

Individuals cannot request a special rate. Requests for special rates must come to OPMthrough agency headquarters. Information on how agencies can make special rates requestscan be found here.

Local officials can request a full special census for their community or jurisdiction or a partial special census. A partial special census is conducted using the same methodologies and procedures as a regular or full special census. With a partial special census, however, the area being counted is typically much smaller. For example, governmental units may choose to conduct a partial special census with just those areas that might have experienced a large population growth or a boundary change.

The Census Bureau conducts special censuses on a cost-reimbursable basis, meaning the governmental unit requesting a special census will assume full responsibility for the cost of the count and will reimburse the Census Bureau for all costs incurred by the Census Bureau.

Before a governmental unit signs a memorandum of agreement and prior to the commencement of any work, the Census Bureau will calculate a cost estimate so the cost and scope of a special census can be formalized. A special census cost estimate will include, but is not limited to, field work, printing of the response material, data processing, and the delivery of special census results. The exact cost will vary based on several factors, such as duration of field activities, self-response rate, boundary changes due to annexations, and enumerator pay rate. Additional expenses a governmental unit may incur, such as community outreach, are not included in the cost estimate.

A CalPERS special power of attorney allows you to designate a representative or agent, known as your attorney-in-fact, to conduct your retirement affairs. Should you become unable to act on your own behalf, your designated attorney-in-fact will be able to perform important duties concerning your CalPERS business, such as:

The CalPERS special power of attorney is specifically designed for use by active and retired CalPERS members and beneficiaries. You may already have a power of attorney set up through another resource; however, it may not address your CalPERS retirement benefits.

SNPs are either HMO or PPO plan types, and cover the same Medicare Part A and Part B benefits that all Medicare Advantage Plans cover. However, SNPs might also cover extra services for the special groups they serve. For example, if you have a severe condition, like cancer or congestive heart failure, and you need a hospital stay, an SNP may cover extra days in the hospital. You can only stay enrolled in an SNP if you continue to meet the special conditions of the plan.

In physics, the special theory of relativity, or special relativity for short, is a scientific theory of the relationship between space and time. In Albert Einstein's 1905 treatment, the theory is presented as being based on just two postulates:[p 1][1][2]

A defining feature of special relativity is the replacement of the Galilean transformations of Newtonian mechanics with the Lorentz transformations. Time and space cannot be defined separately from each other (as was previously thought to be the case). Rather, space and time are interwoven into a single continuum known as "spacetime". Events that occur at the same time for one observer can occur at different times for another.

Until several years later when Einstein developed general relativity, which introduced a curved spacetime to incorporate gravity, the phrase "special relativity" was not used. A translation sometimes used is "restricted relativity"; "special" really means "special case".[p 2][p 3][p 4][note 1] Some of the work of Albert Einstein in special relativity is built on the earlier work by Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincar. The theory became essentially complete in 1907, with Hermann Minkowski's papers on spacetime.[4]

Just as Galilean relativity is now accepted to be an approximation of special relativity that is valid for low speeds, special relativity is considered an approximation of general relativity that is valid for weak gravitational fields, that is, at a sufficiently small scale (e.g., when tidal forces are negligible) and in conditions of free fall. But general relativity incorporates non-Euclidean geometry to represent gravitational effects as the geometric curvature of spacetime. Special relativity is restricted to the flat spacetime known as Minkowski space. As long as the universe can be modeled as a pseudo-Riemannian manifold, a Lorentz-invariant frame that abides by special relativity can be defined for a sufficiently small neighborhood of each point in this curved spacetime.

Einstein discerned two fundamental propositions that seemed to be the most assured, regardless of the exact validity of the (then) known laws of either mechanics or electrodynamics. These propositions were the constancy of the speed of light in vacuum and the independence of physical laws (especially the constancy of the speed of light) from the choice of inertial system. In his initial presentation of special relativity in 1905 he expressed these postulates as:[p 1]

The derivation of special relativity depends not only on these two explicit postulates, but also on several tacit assumptions (made in almost all theories of physics), including the isotropy and homogeneity of space and the independence of measuring rods and clocks from their past history.[p 6]

Following Einstein's original presentation of special relativity in 1905, many different sets of postulates have been proposed in various alternative derivations.[15] But the most common set of postulates remains those employed by Einstein in his original paper. A more mathematical statement of the principle of relativity made later by Einstein, which introduces the concept of simplicity not mentioned above is: be457b7860
