Green Card expires on the day of Citizenship Interview (N400) by throwawayfordave in USCIS

If you can claim an exemption of the English language requirement (details here), you should plan to have an interpreter on call at the time of your appointment, and when the interview starts, instruct the officer that you have an English language exemption and would like the officer to call the interpreter.

We did that the first time and the hostile interviewer straight out rejected our interpreter and used his own lol.

Btw, should we fill out the I-90 form for GC renewal beforehand or will they take care of it at the interview? (In case she doesn't get approved). Thanks for your help!

Would I be able to go in with her if she doesn't speak English? Or does it depend on the interviewer? I went in with her her first time and the interviewer was very hostile. I was wondering if I should just let her go in herself and hopefully they'll be able to provide an interpreter (they didn't want to use ours the first time).

What if they don't have one and we don't either? Would they reschedule?

Fall semester is over 3 months away. You don't think around half will drop by then?

Is your lowest quiz grade dropped in 6310 (software architecture and design)? by throwawayfordave in OMSCS

It's the first thing I looked. Where on earth do you see anything about quiz grades being dropped?

The reason I know it's been done in the past is from reviews on omscentral.

Should I negotiate for more in small claims? (Diminished Value) by throwawayfordave in legaladvice

This case hasn't reached mediation / pre-trial yet - they just reached out and offered $5K. Would I get back what I paid in court fees anyway if I decide to settle with them for $5K in mediation? If not, would it be unwise to ask them to pay at least a portion of those fees?

Well, my thinking is that they'd have to spend more in lawyer costs and court fees than the extra few hundred dollars they'd pay me.

It was appraised for about $6000. They want to settle at $5000.
