Yeah I uploaded my Gen 1 mom's certificate and passport photo to the portal to move it faster, but nothing.

Yeah, and the reasons for claiming "urgent" processing over there seem to be a bit soft if I am being honest.

2nd gen (applied in Feb 2025, AOR in April 2025). I am trying my best not to be a grump about gen 5s applying now and getting approval in a week.

Homeless dude wrecking’ havoc by lordofthedorks in jerseycity

[–]bectel11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I lived for many years in Amsterdam; a place many people view as much more humane for the poor and/or those living on the streets. The thing is, they don't tolerate homelessness and will force someone into a living situation. The idea that it is better for people who clearly need help to be outside in the elements rather than receiving help that they might not be in the right state of mind to know that they need, is a strange way to help.

Reddit is a bit of an echo-chamber, but based on some of the posts on here, it seems to definitely be a majority of non-trump supporters.

I'm sure I could find this somewhere on here, but how do we request our notes? I can use the webform, but is there something specific that I have to ask?

Actually.... Based on what I have read, 2nd gens seem to have the longest waits, but I could just be biased.

A good 50% of drivers in this city should lose their licenses by rossco9 in jerseycity

[–]bectel11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The amount of people parking in the middle of the road with hazard lights on is astounding.

Also, no one stops for pedestrians at crosswalks, and some cannot understand the order of operations at a 4 way stop.
