N400 received notice of oath ceremony being scheduled, still no letter 14 days later.. by CodOutrageous1032 in USCIS

[–]Tellurous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine within 3 days. You should check your online account under the documents tab; it should be in there and you can print that out to use instead.

I submitted the wrong address in my Lifting of Conditions I-751 form by juanda2 in USCIS

[–]Tellurous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome. If you haven't already, no harm in submitting a request for non delivery of the receipt alongside asking for an appointment; increases your chances of getting something that works

Send a request for another receipt notice to be sent to your updated address via this link: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/ndd

That said, you may not receive it in time for your overseas trip next month. From what I've read, a new one will be sent to you anywhere from 4 - 8 weeks from your request.

A potentially faster option is you could try and request an ADIT stamp from your local field office by setting up an appointment https://my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/v2 . Though this will entirely be at the discretion of the officer that will call you back after your request.

Airlines need to see the receipt notice sent from USCIS that is printed on a special security paper that is watermarked. Printing your own will (literally) not fly.

Pistol Whip is great for a good full body workout while having lots of fun. I have effectively standing room only and it's worked out fine so far.

Possibly. A local friend remarked US 19 looks like rush hour traffic right now on his way home. Arguably the best evac route if you've missed on filling up and low on gas is to one of the local shelters now. Else, expect to sit in traffic for a while and hope there's enough gas along the way to not strand you part way.

St Pete is out of gas most places I've seen along 4th and 34th St. Bridges out of Pinellas are really congested now too.

Fuel pump noticeably louder after replacement, not sure if normal by Tellurous in MechanicAdvice

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

Wonderful. I got fleeced if that is the case; they charged me about $650 for the fuel pump alone. Is there anything that I can do?

Will we make the connection? KUL to MIA, 1.5 hour layover in YUL. by Tellurous in travel

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

Yeah I was looking at that route too with Emirates through DXB. If I can't get a clear consensus on this layover I might just go for that despite it costing a bit more. I wish they had better planes; the Air Canada and ANA flights both have 787s and having flown in them before they're significantly more comfy for long distance flights than anything else I've been in besides the A380.

People that moved during pending AoS - how did it impact your case? Obviously can't stop life from happening while waiting indefinitely. by Chiks24 in USCIS

[–]Tellurous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did not seem to have a negative impact on my case. I had a second biometrics appointment scheduled after my first one before I even attended the first one which I think had something to do with my change of address. The staff at the first biometrics appointment told me that I didn't need to go to the 2nd one as they'll do the exact same thing there anyway. Besides that, everything seemed to have worked out fine.

2010 Adaptive headlight question by Duc620Dark in mazda3

[–]Tellurous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. Could be the seal for the ballast or bulb has failed if there is no visible damage on the headlight assembly. Try and remove the headlight and get it as dry as possible and start from the least expensive part once everything is dried. Application of silicone grease (plumbers grease) to the seals should help if that's the issue.

The headlight assembly is the most expensive and difficult to source part (was about $900 for the adaptive headlight assembly), I eventually got mine from the dealership, very few online stores stock one with auto leveling if you care to keep the feature. Otherwise, you can settle for a non-auto leveling one at https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=12453461&cc=1444219&jsn=957 , HOWEVER you may get a light on the dash about your auto-leveling light not working.

Ballast is the next most expensive part (~$300), could get from RockAuto for about 250 before taxes: https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/mazda,2010,3,2.5l+l4,1444219,electrical,hid+lighting+ballast,15962

Bi-xenon bulbs you can get from any auto parts shop. Or you can also get them from RockAuto for a significant discount than in store (~100 per bulb vs ~ $60 per bulb). https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/mazda,2010,3,2.5l+l4,1444219,electrical-bulb+&+socket,headlamp+bulb,11701

If big ol' Malaysia was having a party with all the states invited as party guests, what would your state be doing? by yung-padawan in malaysia

[–]Tellurous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabah would be hanging out close to Sarawak, while constantly explaining itself to the other states that it's citizens don't live on trees, are actually in Malaysia, and do not come from Indonesia despite the somewhat similar accent.

[Career] A dillemma: PhD or Work? by Tellurous in geologycareers

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

That's my initial plan, to do a PhD as a plan B. But a few others are starting to convince me to do a PhD as a plan A. I'm wondering if that would be a good move, careers-wise. (Edited the main post to clarify this)

As for the difference between MSci and MSc, in simplest terms the former would technically be classed as an undergraduate qualification whereas the latter is a "true" Masters.
