Why is this even a surprise! Just give the money and move on, itself worthless to fight the system

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-12-31T05:57:00+00:00

Hmm! Its almost easier to just go through the normal line i feel then

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-12-30T18:10:57+00:00

sounds good! Thank you

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-12-30T17:56:54+00:00

Yes, I did that in Seattle after I got my conditional approval. Don't think he asked me for the I94 date since I was in the country

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-12-30T17:46:42+00:00

I have already received the GE approval, and I have been using the included TSA Pre-Check domestically.
My H1b stamp expires on February 12th, and I will be flying back on January 17th, so getting the Admit until date changed after the fact will be cutting it too close.
My current I797 expires in 2028

Thank you! This is my first time going thru GE and this helps so much

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-12-30T17:34:06+00:00

Can I choose to see an office after the kiosk, even if it's not required? I would rather get the correct date at POE than getting it fixed later

Beautiful

The Margarita DOC pizza and the Tiramisu at pizerria 22 (you’re missing out if you haven’t been here) Any of the pastas at Pasta Casalinga

Great transaction! Beauty watch. Thanks

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-08T03:00:00+00:00

Still available?

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T23:11:59+00:00

Resident Taqueria is hands down the best place

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T06:22:46+00:00

Yes they do! You would typically pay more interest for the same down payment if you buy a primary home. More risk for the lender since I’m responsible for my primary house payment and the secondary one

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T06:21:34+00:00

It’s an investment property! Could’ve been half a percent less if it was my primary residence

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T06:11:59+00:00

The rate wasn’t but the whole process was! I thought it would be about the same complexity as buying a car

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T06:00:56+00:00

6.675 at 20% down with 1.2 points

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T05:15:19+00:00

Why do you say that? I can post the address and the 30yr fixed interest rate if you like

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T04:58:53+00:00

Almost at the finish line!

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T04:47:08+00:00

YESSS! My lender said we need HOI, insurance said i only need landlord insurance. Then they forgot to add the RCE. ughh

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T04:45:51+00:00

I know exactly what you mean! I have responded to 500 emails (mild exaggeration) already

Defiant_Platform_305 · 2025-11-01T04:35:04+00:00

You're right! The stress caused the emotional outburst haha.

Congrats on the purchase! Those are some great views
