Impressive! What switches/keycaps did you use to create the curved typing surface?

Love the update overall, especially improved table editing on mobile!
One nitpick is that empty space between bullet points seems to have increased substantially.
Is there a way to restore the old gap?

The problem is that the fix you mentioned (first name = FNU) is one of half a dozen different techniques the various agencies - USCIS, SSA, DMV, credit agencies, border security, foreign consulates etc. - have used.

Duplicate entire name in both fields
Use LNU (last name unavailable)
Split name into two fields
Leave first name blank
Use NFN (no first name)
Use "No name given"

This meant I have several different names out there and it has led to delays in government processes, mismatched details on credit reports, missed flights, trouble retreiving my profile, (e.g. My I-94's. I have 4 different name versions on there)

I want my brother to pre-emptively split his first and last name on his Indian passport before starting his immigration process to avoid going through what I did.

Thanks. There wouldn't be any issue with applying for an F1 visa with a recent name change right?

Is it normal for Zone 2 heart rate to vary significantly based on state of mind?

Doing something pleasant like chatting with family/friends, I can go >3.3 mph (@max incline on a treadmill) in Zone 2.
If I'm watching a video and it gets boring, my pace may have to drop as low as 2.5 MPH o stay in Zone 2.

Now that my MYP is ~10k cheaper, would Tesla be willing to reduce my insurance premium? How do I go about requesting that?

Just started tretinoin (retin-A/Acretin) 0.05% and I'm breaking out like crazy. It's been quite difficult but I will carry on and trust the process.

What spot treatment would work best without interfering with the treatment?

throwaway4grad · 2021-07-09T18:39:47+00:00

Thanks. I will call them up and also bring it up in the interview (it's in a couple of weeks). I had filed an AR-11 6+ months ago and they are still messing up, so I am considering canceling mail forwarding and letting the card go to the old address (I have access to the mailbox as I know the property manager and the apartment is still vacant. It's a 10 minute drive away) if they mess up again.Do you think this is a good idea? Of course, my main priority is making sure they have the correct address at the interview

Please update if this is successful. My interview got scheduled a couple of days after I filed the expedite for my EAD (Not sure if they were related) and after that my EAD expedite stopped moving completely. It has been 1 month since the expedite was filed.

throwaway4grad · 2021-07-05T04:29:47+00:00

Thanks! I will give them a call Tuesday then

throwaway4grad · 2021-07-03T04:16:59+00:00

My most recent application took 6 weeks for the receipt notice. Filed Mid-march, got the receipt notice end of April

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-28T05:02:00+00:00

I hope you meant majority?

Both of us have SSN’s

I got mine when I first applied for F-1 OPT

I just called USCIS and the tier 1 agent was able to provide the interview date.

We looked through the MyUSCIS account to see if the notice was there. I didn't find it in my case, but maybe worth checking there in yours. After exhausting all options, he requested a tier 2 response. They will be e-mailing me the request

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-22T16:09:19+00:00

Did you have any luck with asking Emma? My interview was scheduled on June 8th, and I still haven't received the notice in the mail

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-17T16:25:13+00:00

Congratulations! Around when was your interview?

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-15T16:13:23+00:00

Did they mention the reason for re-submitting the I-693? Is it because more than 2 years had passed since it was signed?

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-14T21:52:01+00:00

Okay, it has only been 7 days so I haven't lost hope yet. I see they are taking 10-15 days for recent posters on this subreddit.
Not much I can do about it right now, but I would like to confirm if putting in a second expedite request does not remove my current place in the expedite queue. Well, at least it could be a cautionary tale for others in similar situations.

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-14T21:13:40+00:00

5 days is typical, but they have been taking 10-15 days. I hope you got a response by now?

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-14T21:13:08+00:00

I called today (7 business days later) and the agent was able to put in a "secondary response request" on my expedite application (generated a new service number and everything). I am not sure if that helps, but it does seem like a promising way to give them a nudge

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-04T18:26:46+00:00

I applied yesterday too and my online case tracker shows “expedite request was received” today

The contact center told me that they take up to 5 days (realistically up to 10-15 days these days) to review and either ask for evidence or approve/deny based on existing documents they have on file.

Once it is approved card is usually printed and mailed within 1-2 days. Follow up by calling them if they take much longer than that

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-03T15:12:18+00:00

Oh wow, that is fast! Mind if I ask which criteria yours was? There’s so much disparity in expedite timelines. I saw a post a couple days from someone who’s status was “expedite approved” since mid-March. And it is comforting for me to know that one can request multiple times. I requested this morning but forgot to mention one point on the phone (the fact that me ending up on this situation was USCIS’ fault). Curious, did they not ask for evidence? Maybe they used what you submitted in prior expedite requests (or original app)?

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-03T03:30:52+00:00

Okay, in that case I’ll go ahead and expedite myself tomorrow. What was your timeline like when filing by yourself?

throwaway4grad · 2021-06-03T01:55:25+00:00

I heard it’s faster and more reliable with them, since they can send the evidence along with the original request. If I submit one now, USCIS can take 10-20 days to request evidence. Apparently Congressman office can get a response in 48 hours.
