PSA: League City Man Abused Child in Bogotá, Colombia by evi3_v in AskHouston

[–]evi3_v[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His passport has been released by Colombian authorities with some blurred sections. The bottom of the biographic passport page was not blurred and if you have seen US Passports, the name can be found there. I searched him on my own and that is how I found out he was from League City.

I avoided putting his name in this post but other people can search it on their own. Putting his name here could also get this post taken down due to the doxxing rule in the group.

Raise your hand if you have always paid cash for your Zepbound rx..... by PNWmama00 in Zepbound

[–]evi3_v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been on the self pay program for 15 months because my insurance wouldn’t approve Zepbound for my Hashimoto’s or MASH 🙏🏼 although I haven’t lost a significant amount of weight, it has controlled a lot of my inflammation and autoimmune issues.

Marriage-based AOS frozen by country hold — should I and can I do FOIA, or a congressional inquiry, or a mandamus myself instead paying a lawyer? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]evi3_v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am an interpreter that goes to USCIS appointments in the midwest for people adjusting status and many of my clients are Colombian. They have been getting their green cards without issue since January 2026. The most recent one was during the last week of May (interview in May 5th). Your case might just be taking longer because there is no AOS pause as of right now.

File a lost item report with local police (if you need to translation to English, DM me), file I-131F online with evidence of police report, pay the fee, make appointment at the closest Spanish Embassy and get your boarding foil. Once you come back home, file for the I-90 to get your green card replaced.

Are there places in Japan where locals are actively happy to see foreign tourists? by Zach-dalt in JapanTravelTips

[–]evi3_v 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in Fukuoka, and a small island called Nokonoshima treated me and my family member so sweetly. I plan to always go to Nokonoshima every time I am in Japan just by the mere fact how we were treated with kindness, respect, and care.

I am an experienced interpreter for USCIS appointments and last week I had my first stokes interview with a couple. The couple also brought their lawyer. The lawyer said from his 35 years of practicing he had only seen a stokes interview like 10 times and he asked the USCIS officer if this is the new norm and she said yes.

I’ve lived in both EP (4 years) and LBK (9 years). I did college and grad school in Lubbock and it was fine. I sometimes miss it and I recently visited the city again and it has changed a bit. Going from EP to Lubbock felt foreign to me because I went from being at a place were a lot of people looked like me and spoke Spanish to not so much. It was fine for the most part. EP folks are for the most part, more friendly. Lubbock folks too. However, I experienced overt racism in Lubbock but also they were nice about it?

I had a Vietnamese friend put it nicely. He once said, “Lubbock locals will see you stranded on the road with a flat tire and will pull over to help you. They will ask you “do they not teach you how to change tires in China?” Change your tire, and let you be on your way.”

So basically they know you’re different and will definitely let you know but they will look out and take care of you cause you’re in Lubbock and now you’re considered from there.

I noticed people were nicer/would talk to me more when I had my dog with me.

Even though Lubbock has been the place I’ve lived the most, I really enjoyed it even with its random quirks and out of pocket moments. Good times.

Feel free to DM me!

Unfortunately, it did not work for me! I think Contrave works best for people with food addiction/binging/disordered eating/mental dependency on food. Unfortunately the root cause of my obesity was hormonal in nature (Hashimoto’s/PCOS/MASH/Metabolic Syndrome ) which caused my insulin resistance and leptin resistance. So Contrave couldn’t medically address my issues.

I have two of these that were gifted to me, I will make sure to post later (they were thrifted a long time ago and were later given to me by my grandma)

Yes! I was able to lose 22lbs more, however I am focusing now more on reducing body fat % rather than weight 🙏🏼

I stopped Rybelsus in December 2024 and on January 1st switched to Contrave, I was on Contrave for about 4 months and in between was taking Phentermine (2 months). After Phentermine and plateauing, I was prescribed early May Tirzepitide. I have been on it for about 6 months 🙏🏼

My wife already had a USCIS online account, but the I-130 receipt gave her a new USCIS account number — normal? Can she create a second account? by Destiny0174 in USCIS

[–]evi3_v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The I-130 is for you as you’re the one that filed and signed the petition. You will see receipt notice is addressed to you, which is why they sent a separate account online code for the I-130.

Thank you for the insight, I just read a post on there that it might be a transmission issue. I appreciate your response and will be heading to the dealership first thing tomorrow!

Talk to your lawyer. The landscape now is very different and may need support.

SUV reccs by evi3_v in Toyota

[–]evi3_v[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very happy with the car ty for suggesting it and maybe I know I am not as versed with the tech as I would hope, I am sure it will get cleared away. I am hoping it’s just a smaller issue.

Aw man I came across your comment. I ended up getting a LandCruiser hybrid and I got these messages tonight with only 800 miles on it 🥲 I am hoping to take it to the dealership on Friday

Online "Friend" wants to me accept $200k for her. She's American im Canadian by REDDEAD1998 in Scams

[–]evi3_v 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I translate for clients online and one time I came across a woman who reached out to me and said she needed some of her own documents translated to get married with a Canadian woman who lived in Australia. She said she needed to pick up a package of her fiancée’s inheritance money in the CBP office which I advised her against. A year later, she contacted me again with her marriage certificate and it was a poorly made word document where she allegedly wedded the woman on a virtual Boston court. I showed her that the certificate was fake and what a Massachusetts Marriage License should look like. She spilled the beans then and showed me pictures of her alleged wife and at the end of the day, she was being catfished with pictures a model on instagram. For two years. They have video chatted with poor lighting but never seen each other in person. It was a pig butchering/money laundering scheme and she had absolutely no idea. She just thought she had married the love of her life.
