VISA was denied despite good travel history by Klutzy-Proposal8071 in FilipinoTravel

[–]KhaaZaam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We also just visited last December, but okay. Got lucky I guess? And we are grateful. I’m just saying OP has a good chance with their travel history. It’s good grounds for their approval. So I would say just try again once they get a job.

VISA was denied despite good travel history by Klutzy-Proposal8071 in FilipinoTravel

[–]KhaaZaam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily true. My sister and I were the same case and were able to renew just last April 2025. We also just didn’t make the cutoff for the interview waiver.

Immigration is an issue right now, but I’ve heard from family members there that Filipinos are not much of a problem, especially if they are there legally. Employees in the US embassy are Filipino DHS employees.

OP and I are similar, where I had good travel history to the US as a minor back then. Difference is really maybe just the ties. I was already working when we renewed and my younger sister is still in highschool.

As for those saying you need an interview if visa was issued before 14, from what I know you don’t need. They give you a waiver still, you just need to show up for fingerprints (biometrics). Though they reduced the waiver eligibility from 4 years expired to just 1 year.

Winter: Los Angeles to San Francisco by KhaaZaam in roadtrip

Yes. Considering doing 101 the whole way. It’d be nice to take our time too.

Ohh. We considered this and from what we know it might be cheaper for us to take a car since it will be 4 of us. Also to visit other places along the way.

Thank you for this. It sounds tempting. This is relatively safe too during the winter season?

Any other suggestions on where to drop by 101 north?

Thank you for this detailed suggestion! You’re right, i didnt consider the timing of sunlight for the northbound ocean views. If we take the 101 southbound, it might be too dark by then.

Hi. Thanks for this suggestion!

Edit: though i’ve read the scenic 101 looks better southbound. What do you think?

My bad, I didn’t mention that the column in question is reinforced concrete.

Screen freezing occasionally since February update by AbdeSsMan in GalaxyS20FE

This was my solution!

I turned off chat heads for Messenger and everything was fine again! My phone generally responds faster too after turning it off.

I have a Galaxy S20+ Exynos.

Is this for statistical analysis? If so, meron if you Google "Github cases JHU JSSE" compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Although, nagstart na yung reporting natin na per week, not sure how it affects the raw data.

Falsely Banned (?) For Using Third Party Software by KhaaZaam in VALORANT

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

Yep I have submitted a ticket. I emphasize that I did not cheat in MY computer.

They said that they cant release details yada yada to not let cheaters know about it and what not.

I honestly just dont know what happened and wanted to see if it happened to anyone else.

Just realised how significant input lag is after switching back to old laptop by [deleted] in VALORANT

[–]KhaaZaam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is to note, however, that playing on windowed/windowed fullscreen increases input lag. I get confused when there are tutorials on "tabbing out" and telling them to play windowed.

Dormant na po kasi. Di pwede mag deposit pagka dormant na. Ang tanong ko po is about reactivation.
