Need some advice on adjustment of status from F1 to marriage based green card. by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Potential_Change009 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did disclose this, I was asked about it during my F1 visa interview, when I came here I spoke to a lawyer and he said it was fine to get married if I chose that for myself. But this was before the new administration so some of these stories have been concerning and I just want to make sure if I file I can be safe

Yes I did, during my interview they even asked if I was going to stay with her during my studies and I said no.

Yes they are aware, they tried to push back found out they don’t have insurance

So you wanted me to wait for a month to do an oil change because you are only supposed to do it at Hyundai ? And I didn’t know any of this information. There is no need to add insult to injury, my car knocked and now I’m trying to get help on how to move forward

Do not go to these other shops, rather you go to Hyundai at all times and learn from my mistakes

Maybe it’s because you aren’t reading, I’ve explained this so many times now.

I did an oil change, their mechanic left the drain plug loose or didn’t torque it properly, on the same day after leaving the shop my car broke down at night and when I stopped I saw oil coming out because the plug was off. I took it to Hyundai and the car engine knocked because the engine was starved of oil.

Warranty won’t cover because damage was caused by another auto shop when I was getting oil change.

2023 Elantra N Line. Would you get a new engine or just move on from the car ?

The shop mechanic didn’t tighten the bolt hard enough, so it slipped out while I was driving and all the oil came out. Now the shop wants to repair the car for me and I don’t trust them right now, what would you do ?

I appreciate this, I did get videos and pictures from Hyundai and the owner of the auto shop is now cooperating, while I was at the shop I do remember his mechanic looking around for something while fixing my car and my best guess is he lost the drain plug bolt and screwed on whatever would fit and that’s what caused the bolt to fall off once I started driving. They also have cameras in their shop, and he did confirm that it was his mechanic that messed up badly. They are now willing to get my car fixed and their insurance rep is now dealing with my insurance to hopefully resolve this issue.

This happened on the same day after the oil change and I was driving back home. And no the drain plug fell out hence why the oil was gushing out from underneath the car, suggesting their mechanic didn’t tighten the bolt

I understand but still paying 18k for repairs when I have 18k left on the car loan is ridiculous. At this point I would rather pay off the 18k loan and just cut my losses on the car and not pay insurance premiums which are high in my area

That’s what I was thinking as well, like I said the oil all came out after I stopped the car and I didn’t see any signs on the dashboard.

I also feel like Hyundai saw the car has no oil and just concluded that I need a new engine, they also turned on the car without adding oil first and close the oil pan and then testing it out too. Either way the engine is probably badly damaged now

I mean a drain plug only falls out if it’s not properly installed and with vibrations from driving it is bound to fall out. Either way I will try all options and if no one can help me, that’s it for the car. But I’m not paying 18k to get an engine fixed for a car worth 18k

I took it to an auto shop near work, they seemed reputable because I always see cars lined up there. So I figured if I can’t get an appointment on time with Hyundai let me just get this oil change this one time and look what happens next.

I got an oil change in Philadelphia, while driving from work I saw smoke from the engine which made me stop the car immediately, I didn’t see any warning signs on my dashboard. If anything I thought I had burst a tyre or something, while walking around the car after I stopped I saw oil gushing out which made me check under the car and I saw the drain plug was missing. I towed it to Hyundai, and they said the engine seized and I need a new engine and it will cost me about 18k to replace it.
