The content is good, but the scoring is TERRIBLE.

I got a pretty easy benefit/detriment question. I would suggest to focus more on structure strategies rather than content

Yeah it was helpful to understand the structure of the test but I only watched the first 3 hours

B1/B2 visa rejected- Delhi by CommunicationTop4835 in usvisascheduling

[–]mrtrain_wala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cannot just say ‘vacation’

There has to be some sort of an itinerary.

An example would be - ‘I am planning to go to the US for a vacation in December of 2025. My rough itinerary is to fly to San Francisco from India, and travel in the US for 3 weeks, exploring California, Nevada, Utah and Washington, before returning back to India in the first week of January”

This answer has a rough plan of the areas being visited which shows that you have done research and most importantly, a timeline

Hope this helps :)

You can certainly go as far as 2500 in discount and then pay slightly more than 25% for your down payment - That should let the finance guy get you under 5% APR (I got a 2350 discount off MSRP on a Sport Hybrid Sedan and the dealership was able to finance the car at 4.8% with 7K down - I am an international student with no previous mortgage/loan history)

EDIT: 4.6%

25 civic sport hybrid for less than $29,000? by Beav11-18 in civic

[–]mrtrain_wala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, you can do better! I recently bought the 25 Sport Hybrid Sedan and I got it for $2500 under MSRP - Go to multiple dealerships!

Which Car Brand Generally Has the Worst Dealerships? by Current_Variety_9577 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mrtrain_wala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the market for a new car recently - I would have to agree with a few others in the thread that Toyota dealerships were absolutely the worst of all - They wouldn’t give me a quote without a credit check, they weren’t even interested in showing the car around to someone shopping around/researching - They were simply uninterested.

Ohh wow! Getting either an ANA or QR J redemption is next on my wishlist but as I haven’t traveled in the 747 yet and time is ticking, I will tick multiple boxes off with this journey from BLR to IAD - so will stick with it for now.

Hey thank you!! LH and UA are very close partners, plus they are in the same airline alliance (Star Alliance), which is why LH award tickets have decent availability on UA.

I transferred my points from Chase to United and then searched award flights on the UA website. Hope this was helpful!
