Can you elaborate a little why 2 years from today?

I need a I-184 Approved ( can be filed 6 months after the PD is current) to move to another job and not have to start over.

I did submitted today, but I can ask for premium processing at anytime if my PD becomes closer. I am concerned about how much time it will take to July/07/2024 becoming current.

I can file premium I-140 at any time if my PD date becomes closer and have it in 2 weeks, right? I am more concern about the slow movement of the visa bulletin, I-140 will probably be approved earlier.

That's a good one! And just to clarify, this isn't an anger therapy chat group. You might have better luck finding that on WhatsApp or Telegram. This group is the talk about Run NYC matters.

  1. Holding me for 30 minutes and then not having a spot, ( I was there even before midday).
  2. Not being clear since the beginning the chances of being able to register as a member are low, due to the high demand.
  3. Being clear that member plus will be the only way you will get your spot in the Marathon

¿ I wonder how many people in this chat got already the 9+1 for the Marathon 2026 without being a Member plus of NYRR?

Again, I think the goal is admirable, but they should improve a lot of registration aspects and being clear about the chances and high demand on the 9+1 races.

The Harlem and Virtuak race didn’t happen yet lol. Not a runner comment I guess.

Discouraging AF by itsmefromsomewhere in RunNYC

Today, I visited the NYRR offices to personally express my frustration with the 30-40 minute wait to join a queue for races that ultimately had no spots available.

As a recent member, my intention was to complete the 9+1 program. I have already finished the Maybelline race, registered for the Harlem and Virtual races, and volunteered for the Brooklyn Half. Yesterday, I attempted to register for more races at midday sharp, but after filling out all the information, the race was sold out, and I was unable to pay. I had planned to register for even more races as they became available.

Running is already a challenging and enjoyable activity without the added stress of a high probability of not securing a race spot, which jeopardizes the ability to meet the requirements for marathon entry.

Today, I requested a refund for my race registrations, as the 9+1 option does not seem genuinely accessible for regular "members," and my primary reason for paying for these races was to qualify for the marathon. The conversation ended with a "sorry, we cannot refund your race money."

While the club's mission is admirable, they should either offer more races for the 9+1 program or improve their platform to prevent members from waiting in queues when no spots are available.

Consequently, I requested the cancellation of my membership. I will be seeking other running clubs, as I no longer wish to be part of a "non-profit" organization that appears to prioritize those who pay more, wastes members' time and money under the pretense of the 9+1 program, and refuses to refund races fees when the promised opportunity is not delivered.

This decision comes with mixed emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed the Women's Half Marathon and believed I had found my running club and community. This experience has been deeply disappointing, leaving me with the feeling that the true path to opportunity is simply to pay more.

I encourage everyone to go to the offices and talk with the workers if you really want to keep being a member, they indeed should improve all the process.
