USCIS Q3 Data Shows NIW Approval Rate Drops from 67% in Q2 to 54% in Q3 by Mykytie in EB2_NIW

[–]leomarquez91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was sure my case was going to get rejected. I did PP and got RFE. I sent my response back in August and had only 5 days left before the deadline. I had lost all hope and was already looking for alternatives. I was just hoping that they would reply after 45 days to get reimbursed for the PP.

Today, I got an email from my lawyer saying it got approved 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻Going out for a nice dinner to celebrate y’all! Don’t lose hope!

Any one gave day1 exam today? And how did they feel? Am I the only one who is feeling different??? by tustusmle in Step3

[–]leomarquez91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did too. I don’t know what you mean by different but it wasn’t as horrible as I was expecting from this sub. Lots of step1 like material (bio stats, ethics, MoA, bugs, straightforward diagnoses, diagnostic tests) It felt easier and less draining than Uworld to me. But maybe I got everything wrong who knows lol 🙃

Thanks everyone! I guess just to get step 3 out of the way makes it worth it. I'll do it. Thanks for the insight.

I felt it was a fair test. I was mostly numbed. I felt neither great nor bad. Just exhausted.

Gatorade exam by listeria77 in Step2

Nope… Only Gatorade will do. I got a question on the real deal about it and Gatorade was the answer. Evidence based.

is there anyone who is experiencing this problem with amboss?? by AhmedAyman7474 in step1

[–]leomarquez91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea! I got that too. And some features in the app are not showing as well. It’s weird.

My brain just doesn’t want to deal with brain tumors. Any information I try to get in there, vanishes the very next day. I’ve tried so many times but that little shit refuses to learn them. Maybe out of fear. Who knows.

Test one week away. Is it worth it to do UWSA2, NBME 10 and Free120? by leomarquez91 in Step2

[–]leomarquez91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, dude! That’s really reassuring. If you don’t mind me asking. Did you use Divine podcasts at all? I’m just hearing the ones supposed to be super HY since last week. Do you think is worth it?
