    Tuesday Mohuhuhuh, Wednesday Habib, Thursday ShantanuB

    You need to create two more identities to round out the week! I remain your humble JERK! servant, Chicken PS. I forgot Layoffbaba. Do you use the same password for all four? Dammit, dude, what do I have to do to provoke you into bashing me? That is my biggest failure on this board...

    Any GCers buying a firearm for recreation/hunting?

    Just wondered whether any of you guys had any plans on purchasing a firearm, as I wish to exercise a new and wonderful freedom. In the UK, after knee-jerk illiberal legislation was rammed through, recreational shooters had their firearms confiscated by the Nanny state. I hope this...

    $^&@! It's taking only 4-6 months for 485 at TSC.

    I can't believe it. I just was surfing their group. Saw approvals from people with RDs in April, May 2002. 2002! No, it wasn't a typo. This is ridiculous. Good for them, but where's the parity? Shocking.

    Re: audit - relax cats and kittens

    Last's year's disruption was 'cause they were implementing a new bar code tracking system. This year's "audit" will be over in a week. Also, I said to myself I wont be one of these (well-meaning) people for whom it's easy to say "don't worry, INS is fast now, your turn is just around the...

    Approved... Chicken65 of rupchick.com

    Whoa. Whooaaa. (Fighting gag reflex) Just checked AVM - was only half-heartedly listening. "This case has been approved on September 20th" My brain did a double take and it felt like I'd cold-cocked in the back of the head/neck. Was a little dizzy. But now I am not even thinking about...

    Scared

    Got a funny ECG couple of weeks ago after going to Emergency Room with chest pains. Going to the cardiologist now. Hopefully see you all later. If not, July 16, you can have my watch and my modest collection of ceramic poodles. C65 PS. Tried to reach IIO for two hours today. No luck today.

    Dagnabbit.

    Another week down and no approval. RATS!!!!!!!! I am getting paranoid because of my address / company change. Is there something wrong with my case? Two things: first, I was excited by the reports of IIOs saying they were processing Sept 15. I am Sept 24 (although we all know the order...

    Just talked to IIO 2pm ET Sept 5th

    Freakishly got through on the first attempt! Anyway, I called on the pretense of asking whether I should renew my EAD (expires Nov 25th), but really to see whether my case has been assigned. IIO said, "your case hasn't even been looked at" and "we're currently processing UP TO Sept...

    Expecting a lot of RFEs this week.

    I am expecting to see a slew of RFEs issued this week. This supposition is based on the (admittedly) small sample on rupnet. We should be seeing 15-20% of cases being "Ruphied". Which kind of sucks. I'm expecting one because I switched states. Also, someone posted last week to say an IIO...

    Silent visitor finally registered

    Dear All, After four months of silently visiting this site, I have finally decided to register. I was shamed into it by the recent spate of posts railing against we visitors who only post after approval and don't contribute. I have learned a lot about Indian culture through this...
