[02:03] schestowitz[TR2] I've heard plenty of people say they self filed everything and it went smoothly. I figure we can handle a request for a naturalization hearing ourselves. [02:03] schestowitz[TR2] I've handled a successful petition in front of them before. It was to renew his EAD after MARISOL chased away the Catholic Charities. [02:03] schestowitz[TR2] Depending on how this goes I may either be ecstatic or kicking myself in 8 months. [02:03] schestowitz[TR2] DaemonFC: about that... [02:03] schestowitz[TR2] if it failed, it goes on the record [02:03] schestowitz[TR2] better not to try and fail [02:03] schestowitz[TR2] the lawyers are about showing them you have means to fight back [02:04] schestowitz[TR2] not so much the quality of the paper you put in [02:04] schestowitz[TR2] it's easy for IRS to pick on poor people [02:04] schestowitz[TR2] rich people take lawyers [02:04] schestowitz[TR2] and cost the IRS more [02:05] DaemonFC There's a similar approval rate on this form either way. [02:05] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: The people with no attorney who request a fee waiver get approved about the same percentage of the time too. [02:05] schestowitz[TR2] maybe their cases are easier [02:05] schestowitz[TR2] so they do it on their own [02:06] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: Yeah, people who have criminal records and immigration offenses should NOT attempt this. [02:06] DaemonFC Because the lawyer needs to handle that. [02:06] DaemonFC But if your case is simple you can self-file. [02:06] schestowitz[TR2] " [02:06] schestowitz[TR2] > I world love to be able to provide you with more information but it is necessary for me to be very cautious. The subject is right now very hot and I cannot provide much more information than what you can read from the ILO judgement without making obvious that Information was leaked and therefore putting whistleblowers at risks. [02:06] schestowitz[TR2] I have sent you is a link to the Judgment. [02:06] schestowitz[TR2] Can you provide a quick outline of the case? Sometimes I get it wrong due to a lack of context in the resultant PDF." [02:07] schestowitz[TR2] DaemonFC: easy cases, less fees [02:07] schestowitz[TR2] hard casses [02:07] schestowitz[TR2] more fees [02:07] schestowitz[TR2] so you cannot make then correlation you made [02:07] schestowitz[TR2] about success rates [02:38] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: Same fee. [02:38] DaemonFC About $1750 to file it. [02:38] DaemonFC Anotehr $1,200 to show up and sit there. [02:54] schestowitz[TR2] ( _) [02:54] schestowitz[TR2] waste [02:54] schestowitz[TR2] and greed [02:55] schestowitz[TR2] probably exempetion for asylum seekers [02:56] schestowitz[TR2] anyway, we both wish you good luck and hapiness ● Mar 13 [03:04] DaemonFC Thank you Roy, I think I have this. [03:04] DaemonFC It really depends more on Mandy's performance in there. [03:04] DaemonFC We filed as good of a case as possible. [03:05] DaemonFC The lawyer could not have done it much better. ● Mar 13 [04:07] *timelapse has quit (Quit: Connection error?!)

[09:43] schestowitz[TR2] lol, #shitlords mentioned [09:43] schestowitz[TR2] that channel's been around for years and years. it's an unofficial channel for shitposting [09:43] schestowitz[TR2] there I gave it a +s so it doesn't show up in /list ● Mar 13 [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] we have a shitpost channel? dang [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] I think it was started by TMB [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] fedora made fedora-social [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] and in 2008 we copied that [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] so no bad lang :-) [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] What about Visual Basic? [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] * Ingar burns chromas's eyes out with a glowing hot metal rod [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] nobody mentions Visual Basic and lives! [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] oh now you said it! [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] oh noes [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] you tricked me! [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] that started because a user called "balzac" spoke about strip clubs in the main channel [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] sounds like extra baggage you don't need [10:04] schestowitz[TR2] I assumed you sac'ed him [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] schestowitz[TR], there is a problem with preventing people from speaking on this channel. It is used by people who wish to inform us of problems, or to ask questions about a specific aspect of the site. We cannot always be on here reading things in real-time, so if they get not response we do not the communication desired. [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] * if they get no response we do not have the communication desired. (Typing too fast again...!) [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] schestowitz[TR]: As I see it, we do have more traffic in the channel caused by discussing the issue, then what the issue itself causes. [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] Those wishing to interrupt the site want people to know who they are - they seek the publicity. They therefore either use their real name or they give themselves away by the things that they say. Anything else and they are not achieving their aim. [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] we adopted a different approach [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] we identified them [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] and then explained what they did [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] * chromas waits for the punchline [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] Everybody knows aristarchus. He has accounts elsewhere. [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] it's like MikeUSA [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] in Linux circles [10:14] schestowitz[TR2] He was here for a while too ● Mar 13 [11:16] *rsheftel1435 has quit (Quit: Ping timeout (120 seconds)) [11:18] *rsheftel1435 (~rsheftel@freenode-sle.jn3.t23bea.IP) has joined #techbytes [11:46] schestowitz[TR2] "Microsoft plans to take on iPhone and Android smartphones with this new device [11:46] schestowitz[TR2] x https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/gadgets-news/microsoft-plans-to-take-on-iphone-and-android-smartphones-with-this-new-device/articleshow/108439136.cms [11:46] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-timesofindia.indiatimes.com | Microsoft plans to take on iPhone and Android smartphones with this new device - Times of India [11:48] schestowitz[TR2] "Venture with Microsoft: French startup Mistral AI vows to maintain open source" [11:48] schestowitz[TR2] x https://today.rtl.lu/news/business-and-tech/a/2177013.html [11:48] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-today.rtl.lu | RTL Today - Venture with Microsoft: French startup Mistral AI vows to maintain open source [11:48] schestowitz[TR2] "Banning TikTok Is a Terrible Idea" [11:48] schestowitz[TR2] x https://jacobin.com/2024/03/tiktok-ban-israel-gaza-free-speech/ [11:48] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-jacobin.com | Banning TikTok Is a Terrible Idea ● Mar 13 [14:07] *psydroid2 (~psydroid@u8ftxtfux23wk.irc) has joined #techbytes ● Mar 13 [16:02] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
