For those who have fly out of JFK, did they weight bags at the gate? I will be checking in online, my bag meets the dimensions but it is a bit over the limit for weight.

Hi! I will be attending a wedding in Izmir and wanted to see any hair and make up recommendations near segerihizar

For anyone who took the exam, how do the breaks work?
I recently learned that you are not given any breaks during the exam, you are supposed to sit there for 4 hours to answer 150 questions with no breaks?
How did you built into it and is it hard to walk out of the exam to take a break?

I finished my CPA exams a couple of months ago and in the exams we were given a 15 minute break that didn’t count towards your 4 hours. I’m trying to have ideas of how could I take a break without hurting my time.

I’m trying to figure out the best way to approach this situation without offending anyone. My fiancé has these three girl cousins that overly spoil him. Him and his brother are basically the pride and joy of everyone in their family. It came with a lot of territorial and uncomfortable situations, all which I have managed to work around or get used to.
One thing thou, that always make me feel so uncomfortable is that all three of those cousins call him and his brother “Baby”. On top of the overly spoil behavior, the baby thing kind of makes me feel super uncomfortable.

I’ll explain a scenario, we went out to eat, they wanted to sit around him, no problem. We got dim sum and so we were sharing different plates. They grabbed his plate, served him his food and said “Here baby so you can eat good” 🥴
As we kept eating, they kept asking him “are you good baby?” “Do you want me to serve you more baby” lol it was just over the top with the spoiling and the pet calling. I have over 30 cousins all whom I’m extremely close with but calling those names has never been a thing. I understand different cultures but as we plan our wedding, I don’t want them showing up to our wedding, in front of my family and friends and call him baby while overly spoiling him. How can I approach this without disrespecting them or their relationship but also standing firms on something that not only makes me feel uncomfortable but will also embarrass me in front of my own family. I mean even thinking about how we would have kids one day and they will my fiancé baby in front of his kids? Ugh

Saw this on IG and I loved it! My heart!!!

My friend and I applied April 4th
Got notification to submit passport April 16 and 17 for him
He submitted his passport on April 19th
On April 20 he dropped off his passport. I couldn’t because I had a trip to the UK
On April 27 he got an email to come for an interview. No update on the portal
On May 4 we both went to the consulate, he went for the interview where they asked him basic questions and I dropped off my passport.

Our flight is May 13th evening. I’m afraid if they flagged him, they will flag me too for an interview and with the timing being so close it will further delay that I would have to go for an interview and then wait another 3 days to get the passport back. I tried explaining the situation to the receptionist but they really don’t care to communicate since everything is done is the back office. Has anyone showed up with their paper receipt to pick up passport ahead of the portal updating? Has anyone experience having to do an interview and how long was the wait after? I’m panicking.

This is NYC Consulate.
