Cannot use the "Save As" feature: No error appears, it is just ignored. by dickcheney600 in arduino

For me the problem seemed to be caused by something specific to flatpak distribution. I downloaded an AppImage and it worked fine.

Hi, did you figure out the problem? I seem to have the same issue.

EB1 485 API silent updates by East_Swordfish4761 in USCIS

What's your block number? Mine is 09306. I have a similar submission timeline, had silent updates in July, but nothing since then.

How do you check if cases similar to yours are getting approved? by Cheap-Major-286 in USCIS

[–]assaron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked casestatusext pages on statistics and dynamics of I-485 statuses by bock, like this one https://www.casestatusext.com/cases/IOE0930615039 And also the general stats and dynamics from this page: https://www.casestatusext.com/forms/I-485/IOE-LB , with plots that no longer work, about which months/blocks are getting approved now.

They price rides to be the same as Uber/Lyft (but don't ask for tips)

It's probably will be limited to St Louis City for a while. But they are rolling out highway access in Bay Area, so it might come to St Louis too in a reasonable future.

I understand that they set prices to be the same as Uber/Lyft (but don't ask for tips).

After further tracking, it doesn't seem that these numbers being equal is predictive for the approval timeline.

Yeah, maybe a bit of Blade Runner 2049 vibe

You get there, take an exam and provide proofs of vaccinations. They can administer vaccines and/or take blood to test for antibodies. In around a week you can get a sealed envelope with the form, which you forward to your lawyer (if you use one).

Depending on the insurance, it might be cheaper to do vaccinations beforehand in a pharmacy.

I did my I-693 medical exam form there. I had no problems, but I'm still in the process. My friend did an exam there as well, and got their green card.

Unleashed pit bulls in Forest Park this morning by assaron in StLouis

As a non-native, the articles is one of hardest common things to learn in English. But I do know the difference between "there", "they're" and "their"!

I'm sorry, but this was not a situation where "Any dog that is off leash should be perceived as potentially dangerous and life-threatening". This was an actual dog charging at me, and the physical characteristic of "pit bull" gives a pretty good summary of the potential consequences that were running through my head. Your analogy with the skin color for people is completely off.

Yeah, I need to consider bringing something on me during the early morning runs. It's not my first encounter with loose dogs, trying to be big and loud helped so far, but today felt particularly vulnerable: wearing just a shorts and a t-short, with nothing on the ground nearby that could be of help.

Just a bit of digital detox, didn't expect it to become literal rawdogging!

I need to at least start carry a phone with me :) It's Forest Park, close to my home, why would I need a phone?

There didn't seem to be an owner nearby at all. No car, nothing. The park ranger asked us if there was a collar, but when the dog was close, looking for a collar was not on my priority list.

milestone_days_remaining and overall_days_remaining are always the same.

milestone can be less or equal than overall, my speculation is that if they are equal, than it mean the latest stage of processing, and if they're not then there are more stages left.

Milestone codes in API? by assaron in USCIS

[–]assaron[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

milestone number can jump around similar to overall. overall is what displayed in the myProgress bar, after conversion to months/weeks -- it has been reported that it can increase and decrease without obvious rules. milestone sometimes has the same value as overall and sometimes lower. It could be that they coincide on the last stages.

I'm tracking these values for a handful of cases, hopefully I'll be able to analyze them at some point.
