You can check the MIRA coalition or check for pro bono attorneys with the bar. Also, with every paper filed you should have received a receipt. You can send copies of those to USCIS attached with a letter. Each receipt should have a number and address. In the meantime, you should also do a FOIA request to check if they really lost your file.

Hard disagree.

East/West Rail would be around 1.75 hours from Springfield to Boston, pretty much the same length of Metro-North from New Haven to Grand Central.

Have you ever boarded the 6am train in New Haven on a weekday? It's often standing room only by Milford. Ditto the 5-6pm trains (aka the drinking trains) back to CT.

This is when heated wiper blades are a godsend.

If it's New England, should always have an extra jug in the trunk regardless.

This is the biggest downside to LED headlamps; just like the LED traffic signals that get caked with snow, LED headlamps lack that little bit of warmth that comes off of a halogen bulb which keeps things clear.

Thankfully, there are some ways to fix that depending on your vehicle. For example, if your vehicle uses the old school 4x6, 5x7 or 7" round lamps, you can get heated LED units. These are very popular in trucking applications and permanently solve the problem of icing over. I have several large refuse customers that use these and love them.

Get a bag of dehydrated vegetables, throw it in the bowl with a block of ramen, crack an egg over top. Whole thing cooks in a few minutes, takes like a minute to prepare. Were talking start to finish like five minutes and $1 maybe $2 cause eggs have gone up

You will get used to it. I’ve been driving around here for 18 year and don’t take unnecessary risks. If I can work from home or call out of work, I will. Not worth risking your life.

I’ve driven through plenty of big snow storms in. Honda Civic and these are mostly fine. What is super dangerous is ice. It can happen so fast too, which is why if there is ice in the forecast I’ll avoid driving at all costs .

Just learn your limits in snowstorms and take my advice about ice. Practice driving in hilly areas in snowstorms if you are really uncomfortable. You can rip some donuts for the hell of it. That’s how he learned how to drive in storms growing up

Either you are a scam victim or really don't understand what you are doing. There is no such thing as the US dept of immigration.

What kind of petition did you file? Grandparents are not the core family, generally us citizens cannot petition for them.

Was out around 1 going to work and being a newish driver can't say i wasn't scared shitless most of the drive even barely going 45 at the fastest, saw someone spun around 360° stuck on the center meadiane and myself started fish tailing probably 3 times in the less then a mile from my house to the onramp.
