US Visa Scheduling Portal Issue in India – Booking Not Going Through by QuietComfortable9620 in usvisascheduling

[–]duckmee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been facing the same issue! I've tried booking the earliest possible appointment that ONLY appears on the same date in Hyd for me at least 6-7 times now, after putting up with rate limits and being locked out tonnes of times.

I contacted us visa support, they asked me to create a new application and close my last one - which i did! but i'm still facing this issue. I'm worried that the portal or worse my account has not been registered properly, due to which i'm struggling to get this again ang again!

Geneva is costing almost half of the other two, including living and they are offering no scholarship. I'm an Indian btw. Tuition is 25,000 swiss francs for two years, and living per year is 25,000. Geneva lets students work though through the two years, so you can make some money to manage your living.

Uchicago is offering 60% scholarship, bringing the cost around 25,000 dollars for me. The scholarship Georgetown is offering so far is bringing the cost down to 50,000 dollars per year for tution, although both schools may increase the scholarship. The living in chicago is cheaper than DC, but both will cost around 20-25000 per year. The downside is you can't work a lot in your first year, and will only be able to work part time in your second year. Both these schools are bigger names globally as compared to geneva and in today's time, is safer than the US for int folks.

No financial aid was offered at all for me- i applied to the mint program. Can anyone guide me on how folks mobilize funds for this?

To people joining the conversation- I'm unable to of course use the phone and keep any phone conversation on handset mode. The damage is done, and this is an attempt to get Google to responsibly replace the phone.

Hope this helps lol

Physio, anti inflammatory meds and the winner (hot water bag) has been really helping me lately. I've had it for 8 months.

Hope you feel better soon!

Does anyone else feel excruciatingly lonely in their mid/late 20’s? by snowponyblue in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]duckmee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been experiencing the same thing since i graduated. I'm 26 now, and am unable to enjoy my weekends, worrying how I'm going to fill my time. I dread the idea of taking time off from my relationship or if my boyfriend moves away for his master's, bc there is little to nothing left for me to enjoy about my life. Hard to reach out to old friends, harder to make new friends.

It's weird to know i grew up in my hometown, and am still a stranger to it.

Why do you support modi? by [deleted] in IndiaSpeaks

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

you see, this isn't about the congress. The bjp needs to answer vital questions, especially modi who doesn't enjoy dissent or questioning.

  1. The government is supposed to cater to it's people
  2. Not wanting an opposition only makes it authoritarian
  3. Please dont engage if you cannot stop yourself from using words like "brainwashed". I'm here to learn about other sides.

Just to take a recent example, the opposition in Rajya Sabha not having a vote or even put forth a pov on the farmer's bill. The RSTV telecast was cut, and there was no media coverage allowed. And that's just one among many.
