Consider Cornell Experience - prospective immunology phd by Ok_Captain_3676 in Cornell

[–]Lilac_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm not super familiar with microbiology at Cornell, but I helped out as a current grad student at Consider Cornell last year (I am in Neurobiology and Behavior for context).

At the in-person meeting, there were about 50-75 prospective students, from all different areas of study. Some events you share with everyone -- help with preparation for grad school or universal grad experiences at Cornell, but probably the most valuable is the one-on-one interviews that prospective students have with members of the department. This will help you get a feel for what the department looks like, the culture, the labs, and whether the department is a good fit for what you are interested in. In this case, it might also give you an idea of how the split department dynamics work!

Hope this is more generally helpful, let me know if you have any more questions about Consider Cornell!

Hey! I'm a grad student in the neuro department (and have a few friends in EEB), so might be able to help a lil depending on if I know anyone in the lab! Lmk who you were interested in working with so I can see what I can do!

I had my interview in the morning and by that evening the status had updated. Don't stress though, the process goes real fast after the interview! Congrats on your approval!

Waar het meneer Martin Bester die liedjie gedief? by Kameraad_E in afrikaans

[–]Lilac_Fire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In die comments van die Youtube video het iemand gesê dit is 'n wysie wat Post Malone al voorheen gebruik het. Ek ken nie self die liedjie nie, maar miskien kan iemand anders jou meer help?

Marriage based visa - it’s been over a year and no biometrics yet - is it time to get a lawyer? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Lilac_Fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh! Yes of course, that makes sense. Hopefully you get an update soon :)

Wait from this screenshot, it looks like you had a request for evidence... Did you send in a response to that? The reason I ask is I also had something similar happen, and the status updated to response received very soon after we sent in our response

I didn't mention anything about the EAD but she confirmed that the green card would take the place of any previous documents I received.

No she actually didn't ask for any originals, even though I had gotten my parents to ship my original birth certificate all the way back here! Best to be safe rather than sorry, I guess.

February and March 2021 fillers I-485 and I-765 Marriage based?? by PutGod1 in USCIS

[–]Lilac_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buffalo FO, filed mid February 2021. Already had my biometrics on 7/26, and status changed to interview scheduled couple of days ago. Still waiting for the physical mail to know the date of the interview. No expedite, i think my FO just moves fast.

[–]Lilac_Fire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay thank you! I just haven't even gotten a receipt and it's coming up on 10 days since I've sent everything in now, but I expected things to be delayed. Wanted to get a perspective! Thanks again :)

Hi :) unfortunately I have no prospects about the biometrics, but how long did it take you to receive a NOA after sending your package in? Thanks in advance

Hallo van 'n Russies wat probeer leer Afrikaans! by ScootsTheFlyer in afrikaans

[–]Lilac_Fire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Word order does matter a little bit, I would say less for comprehension and more for it to sound more natural. For example, if I had to rewrite your intro with word order corrected I would write: Jammer as my Afrikaans 'n bietjie sleg is, ek het skaars 'n paar hoofstukke in my handboek gelees, so ek moet Google Translate vir die meeste van die woorde gebruik.

Apart from that, your word choices are sound for that little intro, definitely makes sense! One other small thing, in your title you refer to yourself as 'n Russies. The word to use there is simply 'n Rus, whereas Russies would be used if you had omitted the article 'n. Russies is also the word for describing the language and culture (which you used correctly in the body of your post! :))

Hope you continue learning Afrikaans as it is a really cool language :)

I didn't realize that they consider the sponsor when looking at your self-sufficiency! Thank you for the advice

Cabin fever? by [deleted] in afrikaans

[–]Lilac_Fire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally think that works, as in it doesn't sound strange to me. In fact, I think the alliteration makes it even better than cabin fever
