M2 when did you apply?

Haven’t applied yet. Today, I’m eligible to apply. 90 days prior to my anniversary date.

Good luck. Mine is next month so curious about M2s processing times. Are you applying yourself or through a lawyer

I was planning to apply by myself. Do you think a lawyer is required. I looked up and it seemed pretty straight forward.

m3 i got my citizenship last year (sept ‘17)

Thank you M2. Do you think a lawyer is required? I looked up and the application seems straight forward. Not sure what value a lawyer would add.

No Attorney needed just follow the instructions on the form.

Probably won’t use a lawyer but who knows in this environment

Everything to me is a joke, my relationships, love life, and mental health. In the end I got no one and nothing of substance. My parents trigger me, my friend have their own life going. Nothing I do is enough and everything I put up is a facade because everyone expects me to be some kind of version of their imagination and I’m not what they want. I’m a mess and have very intrusive thoughts that I paint to be comedy. i don’t entertain the thoughts but it would be a quick and jester exeunt

Additional Posts in Desi Consultants

I am looking to spruce up my media room and wondering if my desi dishes have recommendations on how to get Bollywood movie posters to decorate the walls. The Hollywood movie posters are easy enough to find but struggling to get Bollywood ones. Think movies like Sholay, Andaaz Apna Apna, Dewaar, Golmaal or performers like Rafi sahab, Kishore Kumar sahab etc. thanks in advance

Friend of mine was working with a desi consultancy. She found a better gig and moved, but the desi consultancy refused to provide an experience letter. They were mad at her that she moved and wanted to give her a hard time with eventual GC filing. Why are people like this? Shouldn’t they be understanding and help her since she is desi too. She reached out to a lawyer and the lawyer mentioned that he has seen such cases, apparently only with desi consultancies. WTF?
