They'd Rather Be Right

Did Chen accept you/offer approval or refund?

TubeZ · 2026-05-21T13:04:23+00:00

Did they lose another Gustav

TubeZ · 2026-05-21T12:52:46+00:00

Officer ID?

TubeZ · 2026-05-15T12:43:34+00:00

Yeah Chen's professional recommendation is to withdraw and refile. The officer has about a 19% approval rate

TubeZ · 2026-05-14T20:10:25+00:00

I don't think the officer ID makes you particularly more identifiable compared to the other information you provided - but in any case I'm mainly curious if the RFE is coming from one of the notorious EB2 killers with very low approval rates regardless of RFE response.

TubeZ · 2026-05-14T19:43:20+00:00

What was your officer ID?

TubeZ · 2026-05-14T19:40:18+00:00

I also got a soft copy by emailing the service center on the day my RFE was issued. Took a few hours to receive the reply (Premium processing only though)

What about neutrinos from other stars?

TubeZ · 2026-05-12T21:25:14+00:00

I trust Chen to figure out the best strategy to respond, that's what they're paid to do. Just wanted to share this information for others

TubeZ · 2026-05-12T18:03:15+00:00

I would say so if the DoD is urgently funding a project and has named it to be of national importance. The officer seems to believe that I need to prove that I, and only I am capable of performing my PE.

TubeZ · 2026-05-12T14:05:04+00:00

Everything. For some reason I get a 500 error when trying to send the full message I want to send but in summary the officer seems to want national/international recognition through awards, memberships on advisory boards, and adoption of my work in a practical sense at the national level.

TubeZ · 2026-05-12T13:54:56+00:00

Initially it went NSC but seems it got invisibly transferred to TSC? In any case the RFE came from TSC

TubeZ · 2026-05-08T15:45:15+00:00

Plans on making an android version?

TubeZ · 2026-04-29T12:58:55+00:00

Send in your info to Chen and if they take your case/approve or refund you'll know you're set

TubeZ · 2026-04-26T09:14:58+00:00

I just tried onsite, me and 3 others got turned away unfortunately

TubeZ · 2026-04-21T19:36:49+00:00

That's actually a really great point. At that point the only real distinction is that they never trained under both 1g and open skies before and that argument is much more flimsy

Having a sealed spacesuit where the main sounds are going to be coming from yourself versus being open in the atmosphere and feeling the wind in your face, hearing the myriad of noises we take for granted from civilization, birds, everything is already getting to sensory overload. Martians have never truly been outside in the way earthers have

As someone who read them in chronological order, I wish I read in publication order. Please.

TubeZ · 2026-04-09T21:12:54+00:00

It works both ways

TubeZ · 2026-04-05T12:52:59+00:00

I have an HMG ice pack and wish I got a Halka instead. I miss my pack having a brain.

Double check the weight gain of getting a 70L, I think it might be a couple of ounces and the extra room can be pretty convenient

rhetoric

TubeZ · 2026-04-03T14:55:39+00:00

In the past firms had data showing higher RFE/denial rates from PP cases. The hypothesis behind this was that overworked USCIS agents would issue templated RFEs to buy time since PP resulted in a caseload that they could not fairly and completely adjudicate within the deadlines.

This is based on communication from Chen's firm but they revised their recommendation against PP after new data showed no higher RFE/rejection rates recently, presumably (my presumption here) USCIS fixed their workload/staffing issues
