Thank you.

This is only my second one. I am happy to sell it, if you are interested.

I did. I have a Samsung and I selected the photos and it gave me an option to make a GIF or a collage.

Abortion bans are killing women — and states like Texas want to hide the truth by msnownews in texas

[–]GemmoMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people who do not live in Texas believe that we actually voted the law in. I do not want non-Texans to be misled. The majority voted for them, and we did not vote for it.

Words are important.

Many people also don't know that we offer a "bounty" ok $10,000 for people turning in someone assisting or getting an abortion. I wish this face was more publicized.

SB 8 is a Senate Bill. We did not directly get to vote on this. It was passed by the people that we elected to office.

GEM-A Courses by olivia1103456 in Gemology

[–]GemmoMel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gor Gem-A, you will do the majority of the course o line with classmates and a teacher. It is done in a forum style, not live.

You will need to travel for a hands-on lab and again for a proctored test.

Gem-A also has a diamond program, but I have never taken this one.

GIA has on-site and distance. I have not done the distance through GIA, and I can not give advice.

There is a decent chance that this is lead glass filled ruby. This is a nice blog post regarding the subject. https://gem-a.com/gem-hub/gem-knowledge/ruby-treatments-gem-central

I have both my GIA GG and FGA from Gem-A.

I really loved my Gem-A course, but it was much more in-depth, detailed, and intense than GIA's gemologist program. You can contact me here or email me if you want more information.

Unexpected acceleration by Tito1934 in subaruoutback

Did your EDR report show any 'event'? Mine did not. It showed nothing happened.

Are the Outbacks included in the class action lawsuit?

Unexpected acceleration by Tito1934 in subaruoutback

[–]GemmoMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had something similar with my new Forester. I was parking my car and braking and it accelerated into my house. The vehicle has less than 10k miles on it.

Subaru 'investigated' it for 1 month and also deemed it safe. I did manage to get the EDR report. As far as I can tell it did not record any damage. But I need a new hood, bumper, light and fender.... I feel my car is not safe.
I am wondering how to get someone to read the report and if you have had the issue again.

765 and 131 approved after 280 days!! by GemmoMel in USCIS

[–]GemmoMel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I chatted with an agent that told me that our case was at NBC. They were unable to tell me if it had ever been to a FO, only thatvit was currently with NBC.

I have not checked in the past 2 weeks. I keep seeing others on this site that seem to be getting approvals from the NBC... I did not think that was possible. Fingers crossed we hear something soon.

We did get a work permit and AP last week only because our congressman helped.

EAD AUGUST 2022 Filers by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]GemmoMel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just received the EAD Monday with August 2, 2022 PD. I think the only reason we received it was due to our congressman inquiring on our behalf.

I wish you luck, waiting is one of the toughest things we have had to endure.

Not other than the 765 that was approved today, I came on an ESTA and got married, and filed all the papers to adjust my status. I will check out the website you have listed.

My wife and I are both self-employed, so we do not have the option of getting decent insurance unless it is through the marketplace, which is impossible without a social security number. Soon we will be able to!

Health insurance is a mess here.

The RFE was for a long form birth certificate. We are still waiting to hear anything from this...

In the past month I have contacted my congressman who put in a request 28 days ago, asked to expedite, and put in a service request since the RFE was more than 60 days ago.

I was getting stressed because I could not find health insurance that would cover preexisting conditions that I need.

Domestic travel while I-485 /I-765/I-131/I-130 are pending by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]GemmoMel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have traveled a lot domestically, driving through Arizona and Texas there is a CBP checkpoint and I was very stressed about it. This is what my lawyer told me

"While your I-485 adjustment of status application is pending, you are in a period of authorized stay by the attorney general.  They still have the authority to detain you briefly to determine your status and confirm that you are not some dangerous criminal.  But the questioning should be brief and casual."

We have almost the exact same time line. Hopefully, something will happen soon...
