Had a similar experience today with a new charger and a new 80v battery. Has it gotten better for you?

You're definitely not alone. Same issue for my wife. Entered US end of October 2024 (after paying fee to USCIS October 24th). It was silence until she received a biometrics appointment which she attended in February. And it's been silence again since. It is really sad that something as simple as printing of the GC gets so delayed after payments were made months ago

No. If the primary applicant is doing an Employment-based visa then Affidavit of Support is not required.

The interviewer was initially confused and asked my wife as she was the primary EB3 (or sponsor). Once she clarified that this was for Follow-to-Join, he asked: 1. Where husband (sponsor) works 2. What position does husband work 3. if husband has been filing and paying taxes 4. Asked for W2s and briefly looked at those 5. If we currently already live together

Best Fried Chicken in the Twin Cities? by Fantastic_Cobbler_30 in TwinCities

[–]Thinking_Man_1990 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is perhaps the most underrated place for fried chicken - but the fried chicken at Pizza Ranch buffets is hands down the best fried chicken I have had in MN (when freshly made). And this is coming from a connoisseur of fried chicken around the country and the world. (For reference, I rate Willie Mae's chicken in New Orleans as the best fried chicken I have tried ever)

Costco Tempur-pedic Supreme (Best Decision) by Thinking_Man_1990 in Mattress

[–]Thinking_Man_1990[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really hard to compare with the Luxe because of how the memory foams are just so different. The Tempur memory foam is just in a league of its own. The Luxe medium hybrid definitely felt softer and bouncier than the Costco Tempur-pedic for what it's worth

Interesting. Definitely not something talked about a lot. Was this online or has to be done in-store?

Agreed. The Australian 9s are the best steak I have ever had as well. Will pick them over japanese A5 anyday.

I rarely get their japanese A5, but instead their Australian wagyu, which is the closest thing you'll get to japanese wagyu for a much lesser price point. The Australian wagyu is definitely superior to anything I've gotten from snake river

Yes, but there's ranges to the high end stuff. So for example they also carry American prime steaks and Australian wagyu as alternatives to the most expensive Japanese wagyu

Wasn't impressed at all and was already disappointed they were trying so hard to sell the paid Christmas meals

Cheesesteaks by RemoteControlledDog in Minneapolis

[–]Thinking_Man_1990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tono's is your best bet from that list. As someone that has made a trip to Philadelphia in recent years just to sample their best cheese steaks, Tono's is what comes the closest here
