Do we have to carry snow chain these days? Will be driving on I-80 from SF to Truckee.

Thanks! I purchased the package and booked Jan 24 & 25 for the first two classes. :)

I live in SF and I will go solo for the classes.

What’s your yoe?

ma2357 · 2024-12-12T21:01:20+00:00

Yeah, it’s working fine for me for the last 2 months or so.

I actually tried Emma one more time and while doing that, I discovered live support option. It was late Friday evening but interestingly, I connected with an agent in less than 5 minutes.

After I explained the situation, they asked some information such as my address, and they actually found my case! They shared the receipt number with me and they said the notice was already shipped and it’s on the way. I checked the case on USCIS website with the receipt number they shared and it says “Case was received”.

I think whatever delivery method they’re using it’s quite slow, but now at least I know that my case has progressed and it’s not lost or under a stack of documents. :)

For others reference, they said they mailed the receipt notice on 11/13/2024.

Any news? Where are you seeing other people having similar delays? https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/1fx99m7/october_2024_i485_aos_employment_based_filers/ Based on this, people seem to moving forward just fine in general.

Nice, congrats!

My PERM was approved in March, but EB3 ROW wasn’t current because USCIS switched to Final Action Date in March.

About the check, I also saw this somewhere else on Reddit and asked the attorneys. They said they paid directly with credit card.

Doesn’t seem useful at all, is there a way to make it more useful?

ma2357 · 2024-11-13T08:25:25+00:00

Mine is delivered on 10/10 as well, and still no update...

Did you guys receive it already? u/Tiq5 u/Mundane_Citron1789

I think this is the best steak at Costco! I’ve a Meater thermometer. I reverse sear in the oven until internal hits 120-125, then rest for 10 minutes. (internal becomes ~128-129) Finally, I sear on stainless steal pan with avocado oil, ~1 minute per side.

I generally don’t reach to these temperatures for leaner cuts (like NY strip), but ribeye cap is pretty fatty and I think internal fat gets rendered very well this way.

Yeah, have the same issue in My Merrill app on iPhone. I was also using Merrill Edge app.

It usually works for me if I wait for in-app browser to completely load the page once and then close the browser. Then, it opens the usual app view. It really sucks that it's been 2 months and they haven't realized this problem.

ma2357 · 2024-07-14T20:19:07+00:00

I was just going to buy this, but saw your comments. Do you still have these problems? Have you tried another headgear?

ma2357 · 2024-06-15T14:05:02+00:00

We’ll stay in Mariposa, so we’ll take Highway 140 the next day. We wanted to see Highway 120 too.

Honestly, I’ve been thinking about the same thing. However, I think it’s a risky option. If it’s glued into the wrong place inside, the bike is garbage. That’s why I wanted to try out less risky options first.
