  3. Saturday GS/ES report, see man: We were motivated to attend only one GS and one ES, only ones really within sensible range man. The ES was a waste, oh well man. The GS yielded the take, see man: -- 2 spiral skool notebooks = half a buck, steal man Total = half a buck
  4. Sometimes you can, but typically they're in a foul humor and looking to nail someone. Nah -- just be polite and ask for the supervisor if needed, and you should be fine.

  11. To be fair, probably less than 3% of the general U.S. public knows the slightest thing about legal immigration. If we feel like it and they seem receptive, we can pleasantly educate them. If we don't and they aren't, just smile and keep walking.
  12. In addition to Mike E's good advice, pleasantly insist that the CBP agent notate "IR-1" during endorsement. If that agent resists, pleasantly insist on consulting the shift supervisor, with the reasoning that this is too important to be left up to USCIS to notice on its own.
  13. By the way, after AOS application but before approval, the formal status of the immigrant is "applicant for adjustment" or, more concisely, "adjustment applicant."
  14. Thrilling Friday non-GS/ES report, see man: Beyond all hope and objective expectation, our back had recovered by wake-up, effective HSM man. We did not get on the road until Many (2x2x2 +2+1) a.m., important phone calls to make man. The first GS was almost an hour away, only route worth pursuing man. After last ES (at nearly Many p.m.), desired lunch, unfed we man. Found unassuming Chinese restaurant in run-down strip center, not a buffet man. Seemed to have good TripAdvisor reviews, therefore try we man. We ordered pepper steak, fried rice, and egg roll, ingest we man. Egg roll was the best that we'd ever consumed, ingest we man. Quite filling, conclude we man. Robust take-out business occurring the whole time, observe we man. Cost = $Many ($2x2x2 +2+1 + change), deal man. Returned to casa at half-past Many (2+2) p.m., exhausted we man. Treated & lunched demanding miu, service miu we man. Went straight for a siesta, zzz we man. Awoke in time to mow front lawn before dark, remedy rather scraggly look man. One sweatband consumed, should have been 2 man. Off-cooled under ceiling fan thereafter before shower, perspirational we man. Din-din was onecan Costco chunk roast beef, ingest we man. Brushed/played with eager miu, able to bend down to do so today we man. Have itineraried 2 GSs and 2 ESs for Saturday, unsure of our motivation man. Party with the rubias imminent, cavort we man.
  15. Friday GS/ES report, see man: Late start caused us to skip Many (2+1) itineraried events, see Thrilling Friday report man. On the bright side, we stumbled upon an ES which, along with another ES, yielded the take, see man: -- Acco stapler = $Many ($2+1), deal man -- kitchen tongs = $1, OK man Total = $Many ($2+2)
  16. *** A variant of a prohibited word has been removed from the original post. *** My own Congressman's office says that expedited passport renewals are taking 7 to 9 weeks, and that standard renewals are taking from 10 to 12 weeks. If this is true, you should be getting yours very soon. Contact your Congressman's office so that they can inquire on your behalf and stick a pin into the appropriate parties.
  17. MasterCarrot, you can trust jan22 wholeheartedly regarding anything consular-related. (He has been awarded two VJ Award Badges just for his responses here.) Keep us all closely apprised of everything that happens.
  18. Well, someone here who's really knowledgeable may come along to help. Have you sought intercession from your Congressman's or Senator's office? If not yet, there's a release form on their websites for you to complete, giving them permission to inquire on your behalf. It's way past my bedtime here, so I'll be back tomorrow.
  19. Unless your case has some connection with Indonesia, it's strange indeed that Jakarta was assigned. At minimum, no one there would automatically seem able to determine the validity of Belarus documents.
  20. This is traumatic, undoubtedly. It's also a first that I've heard of. Have faith, because it will all work out.
  21. It is gone from your sentence, si and see and hee hee hee D ma'am! We had to listen to the Principalette yak, then to the PTO lady doing her shameless solicitation of funds, and then the propaganda about the skool bond issue on the ballot this Manyvember, shut up man. We had only Many (2+2+2+1) minutes with each teechur, OK but not quite long enough man. And P-Math training is obviously Many times better in the US than in Canada, si and eh and D ma'am! Month and date precised, and obviously skool can't start a minute too soon, see and si and D ma'am! Too much necking with Hillbilly, bad D ma'am! Do not irk, toy with, or displease the fearsome Ontarklar, no man! If anyone is wondering, we are still up because our stomach went out twice, oof man!
  22. At least you're able to provide what they want, albeit with difficulty. Be thankful that you're not being asked to return multiple times as though you're a criminal who's been ordered to return stolen goods. This really has happened.
