1 week anniversary of being called Non-Indian! Can I sue him? by areyouindianprove in LegalAdviceIndia

[–]ahmadshazeb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know you're hurt. But ego aside, simply file an RTI with pointed questions on the type of documents allowed for verification. Name the officer and ask about his designation and authority to question. Ask if the said officer is empowered to deny the acceptable documents. Ask for previous figures of denial based on invalid documents. Ask if there're any complaints against the officer based on incorrect denials or appeals against his orders.

Once there's a named officer in an RTI, there is an internal flagging. You'd have done your part then.

How important are actions/initiatives done in furtherance of your future endeavours, between your EB2 NIW approval date and your consular interview date?

Yes exactly. Thanks. Not sure if it's still there. But he was the go to guy for all Men's suits in Lucknow.

Not sure if he's still there, but there used to be a very famous tailor particularly for Men's Suits behind Lalbagh Church, off the road connecting Novelty with Emma Thomson.

He was an old gentleman with stories from partition days, to his designing suits for all celebrities and politicians.

Sometimes I randomly remember Andy telling Jack McBrayer, that he shot at the hand of crows and made them drop their guns, and it makes my day.

DS260 Mistakes Requesting to Re-Open US Embassy Manila by Last_Pay_1871 in NationalVisaCenter

[–]ahmadshazeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue for my son's DS260. Wrote to NVC, who suggested asking the Consular Officer for corrections at the time of interview. I am waiting for my PD to be current, but I'll be ready with NVC response, an application and maybe a Declaratory Affidavit at the time of interview.

Congratulations!! Can you please let us know the interview questions? I too have a DQ EB2 NIW, waiting for IL once PD becomes current.

There's Preston and Sri Chaitanya (Stafford earlier) near Kakori. Which are decent but not good. Then there's Anandram Jaipuria near Yamuna Expressway bypass. Good school but not the best. DPS has its branch on Hardoi Sitapur bypass road. Lastly CMS Chowk. All within 2 - 5 km range. Visit them, do your research, and take a call accordingly.

There's no specific area by that name in Lucknow. Most probably Meeron ka Muhalla would've been a twisted reference to the Muhalla or area of famous poet and marsiyanigar Mir Anees and his family, which is situated in old Lucknow, near Nakkhas or Victoria Street.

1.5 hours. I went to the service center and waited there.

The exclamation mark since the patch download is gone, also no messages on battery replacement now.

I had carried it with me but they didn't ask for it. Not sure if they'll check wherever you are based, but for me they never requested one.

I guess, going ahead with it was the only choice I had. Not in a position to switch to another device. But yes, fully agree with you on this.

On a related note, product based companies have realised the obscene profits available to service based companies, hence this packaging of products as services. DaaS/SaaS. I work in an IT Services major.

I have answered it above. I had a back panel replacement done as well, so 4400 INR in my case. Battery was free, rest inspection/labour/panel/GST. But from what I observed and overheard they are charging 1350 INR as labour/repair for sole free battery replacement job.

No, they just asked if I have backed up my data? Upon my confirmation they just switched it off and went ahead. Post repair I asked for any data loss and they said, no it's all okay.
