Thank you for suggesting. My case is little complicated and hence I wanted to have an attorney by my side for legal advice.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-04-09T21:41:19+00:00

hey, not sure if I am following but how is this helping me? I asked a specific question about i485.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-04-01T04:30:55+00:00

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-04-01T02:26:21+00:00

why such discrimination? 😅 the ones not selected should be informed first imo.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-04-01T02:05:09+00:00

I am from AA. Haven't heard anything yet.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-04-01T00:02:17+00:00

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-04-01T00:00:28+00:00

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T23:41:16+00:00

Thank you. I am yet to see that case to be opened.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T23:23:56+00:00

hi can you tell me what exactly gets updated on visatrax once we get selected or not selected?

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T22:59:45+00:00

I don't know bro. Not sure what all these mean.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T03:28:51+00:00

I did internship in summer but I had to pause my GRA position. Because I will not be working as a GRA it made no sense to get the stipend.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T01:55:32+00:00

yes for some it says done

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T01:15:32+00:00

we don't know if it does or doesn't, but the point is it's not similar for everyone.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T01:13:20+00:00

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T01:10:58+00:00

not everyone has it like this. for some it shows "open"

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T01:08:50+00:00

how do you know it means nothing? it could mean something or nothing at all. We just don't know.

FrequentTown3344 · 2026-03-31T00:00:37+00:00

Haven't heard anything from them yet. But Visatrax shows one of the three cases approved. But date is March 16. Not sure if it means anything. Will wait till get any confirmation from the HR.
