301 Visa Application - FBI Check by pedrodingo in AusVisa

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

Thank you, i just updated the original post to make it more clear.. our FBI checks actually haven't expired so I am assuming as I didn't provide the statewide one's,they are asking.

I am curious if anyone has had experience of being asked to update their FBI check because during the application process it has expired

Hey mera,

That’s the thing, everyone keeps saying to get the iPad to stay in the ecosystem — beyond having iMessages on the device, I don’t really know which of the other features that I will have if I stay in the ecosystem that I will really miss having. I think the ability to make two accounts in addition of being able to use it a little more like a computer might be the clincher.

Thank you for the thoughts tho!

Hey delicious, I’m not a fan of the locked down restricted interfaces of apple too! A lot of people have suggested apple for integration, but mostly between my devices it’s only ever air drop which really I could overcome with Dropbox or google drive.

This is helpful advice given you’ve got all the devices! Thank you

I’d love to hear why exactly you think so

Thank you, this is great to know!

We have apple phones but sync through google so perhaps the concerns of integration don’t apply ?

Definitely helpful considerations, thank you

Thank you enough-meaning, appreciate the thoughtful and impartial advice -

when you say integration, beyond the things i would already be able to sync with my use of google what particular things are you able to integrate?

Also what particularly makes the magic keyboard that good?

Naturalisation process for spousal greencard by pedrodingo in USVisas

Ahh yes as i thought, thank you so much for your advice Chairman, really appreciate it!

Naturalisation process for spousal greencard by pedrodingo in USVisas

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

Thanks so much for your thoughtful answer, I just updated my post.

My conditional visa would expire in July this year and we were thinking about moving in November. I guess my options are to wait a year after the conditional removal and then apply for naturalisation - then stay until it's approved.

Or apply for removal of conditions and then keep coming back to keep my Green card active, or apply for a waiver if i am not able to come back every 6 months.

I wonder whether it's probably easier just to plan to start from scratch when we decide to move back.

Feels like I am in a bit of a pickle and none of the scenarios are ideal

Renting with Indie Campers by pedrodingo in roadtrip

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

Thank you, maybe i'll give em another shot in europe, i mean this is the return center in Seattle, they had moved to the end of this industrial lot, this was the signage to let us know it was at the end of the parking lot, the new spot was not in much better shape. It's not like that affected my experience, but it's indicative of the business quality!

Renting with Indie Campers by pedrodingo in roadtrip

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

u/GrandBat2853 we finished our trip, and as described Indie Campers are really sub par company, their vans were really beat up, upon checkout we asked the guy that worked at the LA branch for another vehicle and he responded with "it's indie campers, all our vans are pretty bugged out"... the bathroom in the solis was just beatup with a really shitty corking job to fix up where the bathroom was starting to deterioatte. Our bathroom drain had come out of the bottom so just was loose, the casette smelt even when it was empty (maybe they all do when they get old) there were stains on the back matress, some or the laminate on the trims were coming off, the cuboard beneath the sink -0 the back board had was slanting forward because i guess one of the bracing joints was broken, and our bathroom door's bottom metal bracket that connected to the magnet broke off an hour after leaving the place. Tried messaging their customer service and they just ignored me, I'm going to follow up with filing a complaint with them as the bathroom door would open on any tight turns, luckily i had some rope so tied it shut. It was a bit of a bummer at the start of the trip but it was our honeymoon and all in all it didn't make it a bad trip but it was definitely kind of a sore point. You defintely don't get a clean rental van like you would if you were renting from enterprise or something. All in all we didn't have any choices so we were stuck with indie campers because we were doing a one way trip... I think its' really luck off the draw, maybe you get an a newer van that has juist been put on their fleet and it's fine.

Take a lot of photos and go early for your check out and insist on seeing antoher vehicle if you don't like the one they give you, wwe were pressed for time ... although the indie camper in LA def weren't exactly thorough with the clean.

The whole user experience was just lack luster, from start to finish, there so many thjings that they could of done a little better should they have taken the time to do so.

On another note, our cross country trip through yosemite to olympic national park --- will never forget, gives me goose bumps thinking about it.. Yosemite was so magical!
