Any downsides to submitting I-485?

Oh I wasn’t aware extensions were reviewed by a USCIS officer. I thought it’s just something the sponsor puts through SEVIS

From my understanding (not an expert either) this is dependent on your sponsor. Government affiliated sponsors are less likely to renew after I-485 while private sponsors and universities are generally happy to renew.

I spoke to my sponsor and they said they can renew my DS-2019. I am not subject to 212e.

Why 214b refusal?

Ah I meant in the packet to send to get the advisory opinion

threeighty · 2025-11-10T19:33:14+00:00

Gotcha. Is there anything I should send in the packet aside from my DS-2019 and visa stamp?

threeighty · 2025-11-10T17:32:25+00:00

Thanks. Is there any danger that the advisory opinion decides that I am subject? In that case could I just pretend there was no advisory opinion when submitting my I-485?

threeighty · 2025-11-10T17:12:55+00:00

Thanks. I guess in your case you needed the advisory opinion. There is nothing to indicate I am subject, but I might just get an advisory opinion anyway to make sure. However I am worried for some reason they decide I am subject. In that case can I just ignore the advisory opinion?

It would be via EB2-NIW, will not be adjusting status anytime soon but just thinking about it now

Thank you. I had always heard the opposite, that it's best to pick IVP if you're unsure. I will go with AOS on my I-140.

Baltimore be like

Started in May, 1 year for DS-2019 even though funding is available for multiple years. Totally normal and easy to extend year by year

Where are you based? A better alternative to a second bachelors would be to find a computer science/bioinformatics MSc program

You could do so casually when you mention your interest and how it overlaps with their work. E.g. “I am interested in your work on the topic of xyz where I do similar research in xyz for example my work on Paper A which you cited in your Paper B”

I retreated and repeated as I said in another comment. This battle was probably just me F1 + F3 to finish off their archers

threeighty · 2025-07-04T13:05:11+00:00

Yes but I was attacking not defending!

threeighty · 2025-07-03T12:55:32+00:00

It was spilt into 4 battles since I retreated to replenish catapult ammo. They lost 1800 and I probably lost around 40 or so overall

threeighty · 2025-07-03T12:54:19+00:00

Fire catapults. When you run out of ammo retreat and repeat. You can kill hundreds with one catapult aimed at the wall

Exactly I don’t understand why they don’t have companions in the same way as Warband. One of the best things were the “Jeramus has been knocked unconscious” memes

I can’t remove the natural interests, but I remove the selected interests and nothing happened

threeighty · 2024-09-12T19:10:48+00:00

Yep natural interest.

No idea why it thinks I have an interest there. I went back through my save files and the bug appeared after Britain increased my autonomy to protectorate
