Re: Beef Oxo cubes. Yay, or nay?

Yes, the chicken one is good too.

Costco has them for a good price if you're a member.

Re: MA tax penatly and interest

Not necessarily, there is usually a safe harbor based on last year's tax bill that might exempt you from a penalty.

I owe NYS over $2k this year and don't have to pay a penalty because of the safe...

Re: CA State Tax Filing Question - 540 and 540NR Submitted... But Why?

I used TurboTax for the first few years I was here but switched to FreeTaxUSA in 2020 and haven't looked back - Federal is totally free and state returns are $15 which is good if you have to file in...

Re: US Citizenship Interview Exam Delay

It's not uncommon at all.

My husband and I applied for citizenship on the same day in October 2022, I had my interview (and ceremony) in January 2023 but my husband had to wait until April 2023.

Re: Let's talk about cars

Every EV that I'm aware of won't let you do that. It just won't go into D/R with anything connected to the charge port, even if it's not powered.

Re: Getting through Customs/Immigration faster at US airports - MPC App

I applied to renew my GE in March and got approval in 48 hours, no interview required. My husband renewed his last week and had the same experience.

Re: Do you carry your Green Card with you at all times in US?

Nope, in my 5 and a bit years as a LPR I never carried my green card. I left it at home in the safe and kept a scanned copy in iCloud like you.

YMMV obviously, perhaps if you live near the Mexican...

Re: Renewing UK passport from overseas - dual citizen

That table asks for "A full colour copy of any other uncancelled passports relating to you" if you're renewing from outside the UK... not the original passport.

Re: Process following I-130 Parent sponsor approval

Re: EB-3 - Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing?

Oh fair enough, that is pretty quick if it's accurate.

I still think I'd lean towards AOS though - imagine if you get put in Administrative Processing for weeks/months in the UK with no recourse...

Re: EB-3 - Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing?

I would do AOS, doesn't the I-140 have to go to the NVC for processing before you can book an appointment with the embassy too which could add months of waiting?

Re: Buying Car in US with No Credit

I know the thread is about cars but assuming your brother in law isn't a US citizen (or has a work visa) then he can't legally do that even if it's for a company outside the USA.

Re: Registering a car in the US on a UK license

Doesn't look like it, no.

https://www.ncdot.gov/dmv/title-registration/vehicle/Pages/requirements.aspx

Getting a title will be complex too as it's an import.
