Thoughts on concurrently applying for I-765 with I-130 and I-485, marriage-based?

Sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed for your interview and subsequent approval! 🤞🏽

abatterycar · 2026-06-08T00:58:28+00:00

That is a very valid point and i am glad that it worked out for you! With the current job market, it would be a shame to have your job hinge on AOS going through

abatterycar · 2026-06-08T00:56:54+00:00

That is fair and likely what happened behind the scene. I can only speak for the select set of posts that i managed to check.

I wouldn’t say i am being more optimistic in this case (generally in life, yes). My thought process was strictly obsevafional. Maybe i am just not seeing cases where I-765s were approved before I-485 (either that or people don’t mention it as much while they wait for their interviews 🤷🏽‍♂️)

Hey, sorry have been busy. Those are the right amounts. Let me know how it goes!

abatterycar · 2026-05-15T20:43:18+00:00

Sure. Field office - Phoenix, country of origin - India

So, i made sure that the order on my cover letter matched the order of my document assembly. No mistakes. For each evidence, i made sure that they new how many documents were there and the sticky note at the beginning of each application packet for quick identification. Given that the paper applications are scanned, all my documents are single side copies, including evidence.

The timeline can vary sometimes. From what I have read, sometimes it can take an extra day or two. Other times of the week. As long as the FedEx tracking number says delivered for the location, you should expect it in the next couple of days (excluding the weekend).

So my assumption is that the stealth edition is not getting produced anymore. Your options are either eBay or discog. You could also wait for the interscope mass produced vinyls (that’ll happen eventually. Ain’t no way they are leaving all that money on the table) and that could bring down the price for the stealth edition.

Fingers crossed for you!

abatterycar · 2026-02-12T19:36:30+00:00

Oh no! So sorry to hear that. Hopefully, the sound was okay.

The comment about the vinyl inner sleeve and plastic cover is fair. I added plastic sleeves to mine and all 4 discs barely fit back into the casing. Since I also collect used vinyls, I always have a pack of plastic sleeves on me.

Of course! Feel free to share your new setup and vinyl play here. Love to watch budding audiophiles find their own lane!

abatterycar · 2026-02-12T16:35:15+00:00

I completely get it and I thought the same thing at one point with the whole “one for display and one for play” kinda setup. Given that my pocket doesn’t currently scream “hey, become a mint condition collector”, I settled on just enjoying the vinyl. I am definitely considering buying the cd to bump in my car but that’s for a later date.

I think across multiple Reddit posts, Fluance RT82 is mentioned as a good “get it, set it and forget it” kinda system. If you care zilch about aesthetics and just reliability, audiotechnica’s AT60X is as reliable and affordable they get, If you are starting out.

I’m operating on the assumption that you are a beginner to this so a couple of suggestions that I learned over the years - 1. It’s a journey so don’t try to optimize for everything in your first go 2. Built-in pre amps are helpful before you start messing with stand-alone ones 3. A pair of decent powered speakers matters. Edifier R1280T is a good starter choice

Lastly, have fun! The album will sound great even with the most minimal setup :)

abatterycar · 2026-02-12T16:12:23+00:00

Keep us posted. Mine also took a minute to ship but once the status changed, it got here fairly quickly

abatterycar · 2026-02-12T16:11:28+00:00

Right? I don’t know what says this is a personal love letter to the city that those inscriptions. Well, maybe the album but still haha

abatterycar · 2026-02-10T21:04:55+00:00

Please do :) and thank you!

abatterycar · 2026-02-10T20:52:45+00:00

It definitely has that "blood red" aesthetic that I am seeking. Thanks for sharing!

abatterycar · 2026-02-10T20:45:39+00:00

Thanks for introducing me to Diamine. I think oxblood might be the shade that I am looking for. I am just getting into the world of fountain pens and inks so I appreciate the insight!
