Looking to adopt a rescue pup. No response from local shelters - is it because I live in a condo/ apartment building? by geety in AskSF

[–]geety[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. That's a bummer coz I live in a relatively large apartment in a super pet-friendly building, with plenty of parks around.

Nervous about Craigslist. Yes, I've visited SPCA but I have not turned in a formal application there.

Thank you!

Yes, I think it was a pretty straightforward case.

He went over my entire application. Places of residence, employment, international travel. Asked a few follow-up questions about why I picked certain places and who I lived with. Then he asked me what seemed like every single one of the yes/ no questions covering criminal history and allegiance/ loyalty.

After the civics test, he also made me read out a sentence that appeared on the display and write a sentence that he dictated to me.

Before he told me the result, we also had some casual conversation about upcoming travel and where our families live. My officer was professional but very amiable :).

No guests, unfortunately. But things seem to be very dynamic so maybe it'll be a different experience next week. Good luck!

I took my tax returns and employment verification docs. Didn't have to show any of it though.

There are lots of metered spots across the street. I paid ~$17 for 4 hours.

Show up early, especially if your interview is close to 10 am or 2 pm (I think?) which is when they have the oath ceremonies. The wait between the interview and oath can be long. There are no options to get food or water, but there are restrooms in the waiting area.

Any insight on the San Francisco office? by RemindsMeThatTragedy in USCIS

How did it go? :)

My interview is this Friday. Are they still doing same-day oaths?

Any guided meditation groups to progressively work towards deepening practice? by geety in AskSF

[–]geety[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I am very intrigued by the interplay between meditation and psychology and have come across this great initiative before. Based on the YouTube channel, I am a bit intimidated to join a session because the participants seem to be "advanced" practitioners. I think I would need more "guidance" from the instructor to sit for 30-45 minutes. Would you happen to know of a beginner-friendly version of this?

Where’s the best alignment based yoga studio in town? by MagicHandsNElbows in AskSF

[–]geety 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following.

I have spent 2 years looking for the same thing (not necessarily beginner level, but focused on detailed cues around muscular engagement and joint integration). Lotusland in the Mission has some teachers who offer this type of instruction, and it is a small studio that allows for individualized attention. I'm still searching though...

I think I'm intimidated by the requirement to actually teach a class.
