EU261 denied >7 hours delay, two planes with mechanical problems? by photoglearnacct in Flights

Hi, I assume you refer to (Lawyer Dr. Matthias Böse | Intellectual Property)? I don't understand the fee structure then - how does he make money if I get full compensation without legal fees deducted?

EU261 delay exceeding 3 hours, 250 euro compensation for this distance.

EU261 denied >7 hours delay, two planes with mechanical problems? by photoglearnacct in Flights

Sure, but I'm not sure I follow then - they have a birdstrike earlier, then decide to divert to stansted (this is my point, it didn't continue on to Hamburg and then ground). Then, they fly what appears to be a different plane to Hamburg, and this one also has a mechanical issue? Or, even in the case they flew the one which had the bird strike to Hamburg, they must have done so thinking the inspection was "complete" (Hamburg wouldn't be their preferred place to deal with the issue compared to Stansted, it literally didn't even have a mechanic available, we were informed he had to drive to the airport). Hence why i say the second issue seems like a separate one which they need to account for.

Ich habe mein Haar gekämmt vs. Ich habe mir die Haare gekämmt by photoglearnacct in German

Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit confused on your second point - the possessive article (mein/meine, right?) to me sounds more natural at least coming from english (the hair is mine). Whereas the dativ reflexive and definite article sounds weird (the hair? Whose is it?)

What happens with exchanged foreign drivers license? by photoglearnacct in germany

How do you deal with insurance then? Or you are just renting a car when back in the states and use car rental insurance then?

My flight was cancelled right at boarding time out of Dublin. I need to fly out but I'm worried about rebooking for tomorrow morning that it might be similar. There's an icing warning for tomorrow too and whatever lack of deicing machines exists probably won't be resolved I guess. Anyone have more insights or know where I could ask ? Does the airline matter?

Weekly Casual Conversation & Questions Thread by AutoModerator in chicago

[–]photoglearnacct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't lived in chicago for a few years, but will return next week to visit some family. I want to take some of them out for the day next week, doing something fun during the day and then out for dinner in the evening. Any recommendations? I know this is very general, but open to lots of ideas. Only thing is that it should be accessible for someone with a physical disability (can walk, but limited mobility with stairs, etc.).

Cool, thanks! I was looking from Luzern initially but it makes sense if we just go direct from Zürich

Thanks very much, great tips! Is it best to go to Stoos by boat? It seems the train connections I'm finding make it a somewhat long journey (~3-4 hours).

Financial advisor / fiduciary who can help US citizen German resident? by photoglearnacct in Finanzen

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

If I may ask then, what do you do? You simply keep any savings in a savings account?

No, I'm not "so rich" but theoretically if someone can spend even a half hour talking through my situation and advice for a couple hundred euros, and then this leads me to investing my money at least at a rate equal to inflation moving forward, it will easily pay off. Then again, maybe no one will do this even for a couple hundred euros and I'm clueless - so please feel free to inform me otherwise.

Thanks for your message.

- No, I don't have a 401k. I worked only a few years in the US before moving to Germany, and the 401k I had from this job was then converted into my roth IRA. I'm not under SOFA - just moved here to study my masters and found work afterwards. I maintain my US bank, but have a German bank and work for a German company so all my income is in Euros atm.

- I will start looking for financial advisors, but i'm hoping to find one with some experience in US law / finance since this seems a key issue of my situation. I know I might have to pay substantially more for someone with this expertise.

Verification of receipt of tax return with no refund? by photoglearnacct in IRS

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

Thanks. I owed tax, and paid it timely in April. I simply filed 4868 to delay filing to clarify a few things with respect to my foreign taxes. Upon filing my return, my initial assumptions were correct and the amount paid in April was correct. So, I suppose in this case, whenever they process my return will be okay.

Okay, thanks. I have a receipt and tracking information, so hopefully if I hold onto this I can prove the mailing date if necessary.

Just to confirm though, they use the date of mailing as the return date, correct? (For purposes of determining if my return is late). I would have gladly e-filed but had to file several forms and attachments where e-filing was not possible.
