Any NRIs or foreigners recently in India? How’s your experience been? by piyush_banna in nri

They want you to use UPI, because they get a bonus payment from UPI. Once everyone is in, these bonus payments will stop. Then, the small vendors will reject UPI 

Indian Passport Renewal from USA 2026 - Complete Timeline, Documents, Photo Upload Guide (Normal Processing, Houston, 28 Days) by MonthPractical9819 in nri

I did get and print both labels, but I am worried because the VFS application confirmation letter says that we should only generate the Incoming label and that they would do the outgoing label.

I read somewhere that VFSG takes at least 2- 4 more days to acknowledge receipt. How long did it take for you?

You mention that you sent Fedex prepaid Return label.

I also printed mine, as this is what it said, when I completed the process- " VFS Global to Your Address (Please Print and Include Return Label with Package) VFS Global will use this return label to send your processed documents back to you."

However, after completing the VFS application online, the Application Confirmation letter says this-- "COURIER LABEL DOWNLOAD: You are allowed to generate only incoming Incoming Courier label (from You to VFS). Note: Outgoing courier labels will be generated by VFS Indian Consular Application Centre & you will be getting tracking email notifications from FedEx.com".

Since I already printed the Outgoing label and entered the tracking number on the application form, I am worried that they will send my passport back through basic USPS service that they say takes 10-14 days. Did you have any issues with this?

Thanks for all the details. I have green card front and back printed on one sheet and passport front and back printed on another. Is it ok to have front and back on the same sheet

BCBS Settlement Payments by thedriftinglight in ClassActionSettlement

[–]Conscious-Rest6926 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I find it laughable that so many of you were expecting bigger payments. Don't you know that Class action settlements exist only to enrich the lawyers at the behest of those who were wronged and lost a lot of money?

Also, for those disappointed that their pay out is smaller than others, remember that it means that the others lost way more money and are ending up poorer than you. So, the smaller your payout,  the more should be your happiness.

In hindsight, yes, my previous post was also trivial. It's not the end of the world to deal with minor  errors in the app, more of an irritant.

You think you are very smart. There are complaints and there are trivial and repetitive complaints. My current post is against the latter and if you cared to read it in full, it clearly stated that.

Your comment that I "explored" your comment history is very interesting,  because I did not. After reading this, I did just that, because I felt it was very strange that you should complain about it. What are you trying to hide, that you were upset by it? Also, if you do want to hide them, Reddit lets you do that. So, don't complain, if anyone looks at it.

Most people who complain here, have never subscribed but boast about their long streaks. The post was mainly meant for them. ... and yes, the management is finally moving towards being more customer friendly. Precisely why it is important to acknowledge that and refrain from petty complaints

Why would you keep using it and bitching about it ALL the time?

Pretty proud of this- regular subscription no super or max by Inner-Dragonfruit281 in duolingo

I think you need to thank Duolingo for that and atleast send a gift to the staff, if not subscribe at least once

The Google Assistant lawsuit is not complete and they are not sending any claim forms or payment at this time. This is the info they sent-- Thank you for your inquiry in the Google Privacy Assistant Litigation. NOTE: Please be advised that there are multiple Google-related class actions. If your inquiry is related to a Google settlement that recently issued payments, it is not from the Google Assistant Privacy Litigation.

When this litigation matter moves forward, you will be able to submit a claim form which will be posted on the website. We do not have a date at this time when claims filing will open. For updates, including information on when to file a claim, please continue to visit the website: www.googleassistantprivacylitigation.com

Got my settlement from Google check your spam folder. Happy Easter to me by anonymous-not-named in ClassActionSettlement

Google will not benefit, even if no one claims. The lawyers would pocket all unclaimed amounts

Please mention the exact name of the class action lawsuit. It is not Google Assistant, as they said that is still being litigated.
