People who applied for GC - has anyone tried to ask if it’s allowed to hire an external lawyers to manage your case? I would rather pay myself and get it done and over with rather than chase Vialto given their responsiveness and slow manner of doing things.

Allowed. A few people have done that. Definitely explore and let us know.

Not allowed, pwc sponsors you, part of that contract is that they determine the lawyers used. PwC does not want to deal with a bunch of different law firms for the hundreds of people going through the process. Vialto is also PwC’s lawyer during the process.

thanks, I will make a post about it if I manage to do that!

F

checked with pwc, they said its not allowed

How is your case going? I had very bad experience to deal with the Vialto. They are very careless and unprofessional.

not only just slow….got RFE since joining pwc here(twice), they can’t fix the simple error in the form more than one month, very sloppy work quality and attitude, always find excuse and never admit their mistakes…

Any updates?

Looking for a Delta rewards card and was going to go with Amex, but internationally Amex isn’t widely accepted and I already have the Gold. I’d like to replace my JetBlue Mastercard with a no foreign transaction fee Delta card (don’t mind a fee for the card). Is there a good Delta non-Amex option? Also, don’t have a card that’s big on travel rewards generally.

Will Amex restricting guess access for Centurion Lounge actually make any difference?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's next, everyone has to spend min. 50k a year to get Centurion lounge access or pay per visit.
