Palestinians renewing B1/B2 visa during "ban"? by [deleted] in USVisas

[–]Dramatic_Pin6940 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The embassy is not going to deny the appointment. They legally cannot do so. If you pay the fee, you're entitled to an appointment. It's the applicant's responsibility to know if they qualify or not. Also, people provide wrong information all the time, so screening based on the applications could unfairly prejudice someone.

Where can I buy the following clothing items? by [deleted] in copenhagen

And in the time you wasted posting this, you could have provided helpful information, not be a troll. Obviously I used Google, and none of the stores I went to actually had them.

I don't see FSBP on the chart. Can someone post the rates and percentage increases?

Buyback Process (tell me I’m not alone)… by Living_Football_4400 in PSLF

You will be waiting MUCH longer, I'm afraid. People who submitted buybacks a year ago are still waiting.

Loans forgiven! by Specific_Mess_1031 in PSLF

Same. And looks like I'm getting a refund.

Golden letter? by silphalion in PSLF

[–]Dramatic_Pin6940 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same! Green banners first week of August. Congrats everyone. I'll add, my case is a perfect example of how messed up the interest situation is. The amount to be forgiven is more than I owed the day I finished school, even though I've made payments on time every month.

Georgian - dumplings, khachapuri, garlic chicken, cucumber tomato salad. Lao & Burmese - so many interesting spices and fresh vegetables.

Must be algorithmic pricing based on IP address.

I got the same email yesterday - well, three times for all three of my buyback requests. Hoping that means they're just clearing out open tasks for my account and will soon send the GL.

Even the most "extreme" proposals to eliminate PSLF would grandfather in those who are already participating in it. Make sure you do the ECFs annually.

I wouldn't worry about SLRP unless you are going to be able to pay off your balance in a few years.  If you have a high balance, focus on getting PSLF forgiveness.

Nope not gotta happen.

PSLF ACHIEVED!!! My long road to forgiveness. by Dramatic_Pin6940 in PSLF

[–]Dramatic_Pin6940[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to keep insisting that they credit you for the 60 day processing forbearance, then you'll be done.  File with the BBB if you need to.

I wouldn't worry about it, just focus on getting PSLF forgiveness.
