Zanu-PF secretary for Information and Publicity Cde Simon Khaya Moyo, in a statement, said the party was grateful for the assumption of President Mnangagwa of his new SADC portfolio.

“This assumption of chairmanship by Zimbabwe testifies to the confidence and trust which the regional body exudes not only in the person of His Excellency, the President, but also in the country and its leadership.

“The Zanu-PF Politburo, Central Committee and the entire membership extends hearty congratulations to His Excellency, President ED Mnangagwa for the rectitude bestowed upon him and the great people of Zimbabwe. It is with no doubt that the assumption by Zimbabwe of this position shall steer greater advancement towards consolidation of regional peace and stability,” said Cde Khaya Moyo.

He said the party salutes with great pride and humility the SADC leadership, through the incoming chair, President of Tanzania Dr John Magufuli for standing shoulder to shoulder with Zimbabwe in the face of adversity from hostile forces and calling for the immediate removal of western-imposed “evil” sanctions.

On a special note, he said the party is eternally grateful and humbled by the SADC’s decision to dedicate the 25th of October 2019, as a day for collective expression of their displeasure at the continued imposition of sanctions on Zimbabwe.

“The decision is indeed reminiscent of the solidarity exercised by the founding fathers of our region in fighting settler minority rule under the banner of the Front Line States, recasting the epitome of our regional sovereign superiority, dignity, and lasting interests.

“The gesture also demonstrates the further strengthening of regional ties under the engagement and re-engagement thrust being pursued by Zanu-PF under the stewardship of President Mnangagwa,” he said.

“These landmark developments put paid to attempts by the opposition and its external hostile handlers to scuttle the ascendancy of the President, through staging violent and illegal demonstrations in Harare on the eve of the summit.”

He said SADC saw through this guise and once again stood in solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe and the Government.

“Zanu-PF notes with grave concern the involvement of some Western countries in the failed MDC-A demonstrations and their continued interference in the internal affairs of Zimbabwe.

“The party is aware of the MDC-A’s frantic engagements with hostile forces with a view to causing turmoil in the country thereby rendering it ungovernable so as to create false impression of a failed state.

“The people of Zimbabwe should take assurance, that the ruling revolutionary party Zanu-PF will employ every law towards fulfilment of their wishes and aspirations,’’ said Cde Khaya Moyo.

Meanwhile, the party’s secretary for Women’s Affairs Cde Mabel Chinomona, who is also president of the Senate and the entire Zanu-PF Women’s League congratulated President Mnangagwa on his appointment as Chair of the Organ on Politics, Defence, and Security Cooperation.

“We also wish to commend SADC countries for their continued support and solidarity with Zimbabwe and most importantly for declaring October 25, as solidarity day against illegal sanctions imposed on our country,” she said.

Child Custody Lawyer: What Parents Need To Know During Divorce

Child custody is often the most emotional part of divorce. A child custody lawyer helps parents protect their rights while focusing on the child’s best interests.

Custody may include physical custody, which deals with where the child lives, and legal custody, which involves decision-making about school, healthcare, and religion.

Courts may consider each parent’s relationship with the child, stability, work schedules, safety, communication, and ability to cooperate. The child’s needs are usually the main priority.

A parenting plan may include weekly schedules, holidays, vacations, transportation, communication rules, and decision-making authority.

Parents should avoid speaking badly about each other in front of the child. They should also follow temporary orders and document important issues.

A custody lawyer can help negotiate agreements or present evidence in court when parents cannot agree.

Custody cases are serious because they shape a child’s daily life. Legal guidance can help parents make better decisions.

Green Card Lawyer: When You Need Legal Help With Permanent Residency

Getting a green card is one of the most important steps in the U.S. immigration process. A green card can allow a person to live and work permanently in the United States.

But the process is not always simple.

Some people apply through family. Others apply through employment, asylum, refugee status, special immigrant categories, or other immigration pathways. Each route has its own forms, rules, evidence requirements, and risks.

That is where a green card lawyer can help.

What Is a Green Card Lawyer?

A green card lawyer is an immigration attorney who helps people apply for lawful permanent residency.

They may help with:

Marriage green cards
Parent petitions
Child petitions
Sibling petitions
Employment-based green cards
Adjustment of status
Consular processing
Green card interviews
Requests for Evidence
Waivers
Green card denials
Conditional green cards
Removal of conditions

USCIS handles many immigration benefit applications, including green card-related filings.

Do You Need a Lawyer to Apply for a Green Card?

Not every person is legally required to hire a lawyer. Some simple cases may be handled without an attorney.

However, immigration law can be unforgiving. A mistake may cause delays, denials, or future immigration problems.

A lawyer may be especially important if:

You overstayed a visa
You entered without inspection
You have criminal history
You were previously denied
You were removed or deported before
You need a waiver
You have past immigration fraud or misrepresentation issues
You are unsure if you qualify
You received a USCIS notice
You are applying through marriage and need strong evidence
You have complicated travel history

Family-Based Green Card Cases

Family-based green cards are common, but they still require careful preparation.

A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident may be able to petition for certain family members. The process may involve proving the qualifying relationship, financial sponsorship, identity, lawful entry, admissibility, and eligibility.

A green card lawyer can help prepare:

Family petition
Adjustment of status application
Affidavit of support
Medical exam guidance
Relationship evidence
Financial documents
Interview preparation
Responses to USCIS notices

Marriage Green Card Lawyer

Marriage green card cases receive close review because USCIS wants to confirm that the marriage is real.

A marriage green card lawyer can help organize evidence such as:

Joint lease or mortgage
Joint bank accounts
Insurance records
Photos together
Travel records
Messages and communication history
Birth certificates of children
Affidavits from family or friends
Shared bills
Tax records

The goal is not just to file forms. The goal is to clearly prove a real marriage.

Adjustment of Status vs. Consular Processing

There are two common green card paths.

Adjustment of Status

Adjustment of status is usually for eligible applicants already inside the United States.

Consular Processing

Consular processing is usually for applicants applying through a U.S. embassy or consulate outside the United States.

Choosing the wrong path can create problems. A green card lawyer can help determine which option fits your situation.

Green Card Filing Fees

Government filing fees can change. USCIS provides the official fee schedule and fee calculator to help applicants verify current filing costs before submitting forms.

Before filing, make sure you know:

Which forms are required
Whether online filing is available
Whether separate fees apply
Whether biometrics fees apply
Whether fee waivers are available
Where to send the application

A wrong fee can cause rejection or delay.

What If USCIS Sends a Request for Evidence?

A Request for Evidence, also called an RFE, means USCIS needs more information before deciding the case.

An RFE may ask for:

More relationship evidence
Proof of lawful entry
Financial sponsorship documents
Birth certificates
Divorce records
Tax documents
Medical exam documents
Translation corrections
Immigration history explanation

Do not ignore an RFE. Missing the deadline may lead to denial.

Green Card Interview Preparation

Many green card cases require an interview.

A lawyer can help you prepare by reviewing:

Your application
Relationship history
Immigration timeline
Prior filings
Potential red flags
Documents to bring
Questions you may be asked

For marriage cases, both spouses should understand the facts of their relationship and be ready to answer honestly.

Common Green Card Mistakes

Avoid these mistakes:

Filing the wrong form
Using outdated forms
Submitting wrong fees
Leaving blanks without explanation
Not translating documents
Failing to disclose past arrests
Failing to disclose prior immigration problems
Submitting weak relationship evidence
Missing interview notices
Ignoring USCIS letters
Moving without updating your address

Immigration applications should be complete, accurate, and honest.

Final Thoughts

A green card lawyer can help protect one of the most important immigration applications you may ever file.

Whether your case involves marriage, family, work, waivers, interviews, or prior immigration problems, legal guidance can make the process clearer and safer.

A green card is too important to guess your way through.
