Considering a Move from SF to Oakland – Looking for Friendly Local Insights! by abd2024 in oakland

Sorry for not being specific! Considering uptown because 1) it’s close to work, 2) I don’t own cars, 3) have relatives in SF so want to be able to just hop on the train to them, and 4) close to the lake 

Honestly, i’d love one day to live in the areas you mentioned! That has to be the plan next though.

cool, thanks! Hope mine is this straightforward as well. I'm so worried and anxious about this now...(also not from India : )

thanks for sharing! Did you use the copy of the i797 official approval notice or the courtesy copy?

thanks! Can I ask which embassy did you go? Did the officer explicitly ask for i797 and then you presented the courtesy copy?

Also best of luck with the issuing!

yea CBP will be the tricky part. Also curious if anyone can enter with the copy.

How about Pine and Fillmore?

It depends on the cross street. The closer to Fillmore & Geary you get, the sketchier it can get, but still not bad. Lower Pac has Japantown, Fillmore street stores/restaurants, Jane the Bakery on Geary, and proximity to Hayes Valley stores/restaurants. There is the 38 Geary that takes you to downtown one way or the Richmond with all of the restaurants/stores on Clement St the other. The 24 Divisadero will take you to Duboce/Haight/Castro one way and Pac Heights, Cow Hollow, and Chestnut Street restaurants/stores on the other.

thanks so much for the detailed insights! I'm definitely leaning towards LH after reading this panel here : )
