Approved! Very happy and thankful.
This subreddit has been a big help for us so I wanted to return the favor and perhaps shed some light with our experience on the application process. Below we have listed some things that helped us and some answer to questions some of you might have.
What Helped Us:

• Video that helped us file i-130 online
• Similar Video that helped us file i-485
• Video that helped us file i-765
• Video that helped us organize our application packet
• Lawfully case tracking app helped us keep track of our application
• We also used this website to track our i-485 application as compared to other applications and their respect case group number.

FAQ:
Did we use a lawyer?

• No, we filed everything ourselves.

Why did we submit the i-130 online?

• We decided to submit the i-130 online because of the ease of being able to submit our proof of our marriage. We were able to upload all photos in a Word document and provided a short description for each. With 79 pages in the word document itself, being able to submit it online helped out a lot.

What evidence did we submit initially for proof of our bona fide marriage?

• Copy of our marriage contract.
• Copy of Rent Lease Agreement (Containing both our names)
• Email thread of me inquiring to job about adding partner to health insurance.
• Many photos of us throughout the years, with a short description of each photo
• Photo copies of letters sent between the two of us.
• Photo copies of past and current messages between the two of us (WhatsApp).
• Photo copies of past and current call logs .
• Quick description or letter about how we met and how life is currently married.
• Photos around our house (showing co-living).
• Photos of our small marriage ceremony.
• Photos of us with each other's families.
• Future Plans (Regarding life, personal, and travel).
• Food Delivery App receipts
• Photos showing joint subscriptions (YouTube, Netflix, ext.)
• 5 different Affidavit of Support letters.

How did we pay for application?

• We paid for the i-130 online and the i-485 by money order from USPS. We had so submit 2 separate money orders for the i-485 since the max limit on each money order slip is $1000.

What was my partner's previous status before applying?

• Visa Waiver Program (ESTA). I would also like to mention that at time we submitted our application, my partner was in the country for 105 days, over the 90 day limit that is allowed.

Did we submit the past 3 tax transcripts?

• I submitted only 2 tax transcripts, 2020 and 2022, and a letter of non-filing for 2021 with an explanation as to why I was no required to file taxes that year. It is also worth noting, 2022 was the only year that I had enough income to sponsor my partner without requiring an additional sponsor. At the time of the application, I was worried that perhaps they might look at my past years and decide that I don’t make enough (don’t know why I worried about this).

Did we submit our medical with our initial package?

• Yes we submitted the medical documents with the package in the beginning.

What was the RFE that was requested?

• We missed a single question on the i-485 application in section 8 (checkbox). As soon as we received the RFE, we went ahead and resubmitted the same application, with only updating that single question. We submitted the RFE (re-completed i-485) online after we signed the application and scanned page with the signature into the pdf since USCIS wants the signatures on black pen ink. For a bit after we submitted the RFE we were worried if we should have submitted in mail, however it seemed what we submitted was fine. I would also like to mention that we did not update the i-485 with any new information, like SSN. This was based on the word of mouth of this community.

What was our receipt block number:

• I485: IOE-09-228
• I130: IOE-90-879

Was our interview waived?

• Yes is was waived.

Where was your application approved?

• Our applications were at NBC for the longest until recently. In the beginning of April, we reached out to Emma to inquire about the status of our application, in which was then told that our cases were transferred to the Detroit FO. Only a few weeks later, here we are now!

Overall, we are very pleased with the outcome! If anyone has any more questions or comments, please feel free to ask and I will try my best to answer them.

Molecular Imprinting: A Game-Changer in Drug Delivery
Molecular imprinting is a cutting-edge technology that has gained significant attention for its ability to create intelligent polymer materials with specific recognition capabilities for target molecules. These materials, known as molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), are synthesized by polymerizing functional monomers around a template molecule, which is then removed, leaving behind cavities that are complementary in shape, size, and chemical functionality to the template. This process endows MIPs with predetermined recognition ability, making them highly selective for the target molecule.MIPs offer numerous advantages over traditional drug delivery systems. They are highly stable, both thermally and chemically, and can withstand harsh conditions that would degrade other materials. Additionally, MIPs are cost-effective, as they can be easily synthesized and are reusable. Their high selectivity and affinity for the target molecule enable them to effectively control drug release, making them ideal for creating high-performance drug delivery systems.

Harnessing the Power of Chitosan

Chitosan, derived from chitin, is a versatile amino-polysaccharide that has gained considerable attention in the field of drug delivery due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units. Its functional groups, such as amino and hydroxyl groups, allow for structural modifications, making it a valuable resource for preparing MIPs.Chitosan-based MIPs offer several advantages over traditional MIPs. They are more biocompatible and biodegradable, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and long-term accumulation in the body. Additionally, chitosan's cationic nature enables it to interact with negatively charged molecules, expanding its applications in drug delivery.Chemical modifications of chitosan, such as carboxymethylation, hydroxypropylation, and quaternization, can enhance its solubility and properties, further expanding its applications in various fields, including medicine. For instance, carboxymethyl chitosan has improved water solubility and mucoadhesive properties, making it an ideal candidate for colon-specific drug delivery.

Targeting Colorectal Cancer with 5-Fluorouracil

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a potent chemotherapy drug for colorectal cancer, but its limitations include rapid metabolism and low bioavailability. To address these challenges, researchers are focusing on developing oral colon-specific delivery systems for 5-FU. By combining molecular surface imprinting with pH-sensitive and time-delayed release mechanisms, a novel delivery system is being designed to enhance the efficacy and safety of colorectal cancer treatment.The OCDDS for 5-FU is based on the concept of exploiting the unique physiological conditions of the colon, such as its lower pH and the presence of specific enzymes, to achieve site-specific drug release. This system typically consists of an enteric coating that protects the drug from premature release in the stomach and small intestine, and a chitosan-based MIP core that selectively releases the drug in the colon.The integration of molecular imprinting and chitosan in the OCDDS offers several advantages. The MIP core provides high selectivity and affinity for 5-FU, ensuring that the drug is released only in the colon. The chitosan matrix enhances the stability and biocompatibility of the system, while its pH-sensitive properties enable site-specific drug release. Additionally, the time-delayed release mechanism ensures that the drug is released over an extended period, maximizing its therapeutic effect while minimizing side effects.Future Prospects: Integrating Molecular Imprinting, Chitosan, and Advanced Drug Delivery SystemsThe integration of molecular imprinting, chitosan, and advanced drug delivery systems holds immense promise for revolutionizing targeted drug delivery. By leveraging these technologies, researchers aim to improve treatment outcomes, reduce side effects, and enhance patient care in the field of medicine.Stay tuned for more updates on the groundbreaking advancements in drug delivery and personalized medicine! In the coming years, we can expect to see more innovative solutions that harness the power of molecular imprinting and chitosan to create intelligent, high-performance drug delivery systems. These developments will not only transform the way we treat diseases like colorectal cancer but also pave the way for a new era of personalized medicine.The fusion of molecular imprinting and chitosan in drug delivery systems represents a significant leap forward in the field of medicine. By creating intelligent polymer materials that can recognize and control the release of specific drugs, researchers are developing targeted therapies that maximize efficacy while minimizing side effects. As these technologies continue to evolve, we can look forward to a future where personalized, effective treatments become the norm, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.In this future, the integration of molecular imprinting, chitosan, and advanced drug delivery systems will play a crucial role in transforming the way we approach disease treatment. By harnessing the power of these technologies, we can create intelligent, high-performance drug delivery systems that are tailored to the specific needs of individual patients. This will not only improve treatment outcomes but also pave the way for aThe world of drug delivery is on the brink
The world of drug delivery is on the brink of a revolution, with innovative solutions like the Oral Colon-Specific Drug Delivery System (OCDDS) taking center stage. This system aims to precisely target drug release to the colon, avoiding premature release in the stomach and small intestine. The benefits are twofold: increasing drug concentration at the site of action while minimizing systemic side effects. Two key players in this revolution are molecular imprinting and chitosan, which are being harnessed to create intelligent polymer materials and improve treatment outcomes. This article will delve deeper into the science behind molecular imprinting, chitosan, and their applications in drug delivery, particularly for colorectal cancer treatment.

Dubai Police Global Chess Challenge was a new event started and hosted by Dubai Police from 4th to 12th May. I have played multiple times in United Arab Emirates including the Sharjah Masters and Abu Dhabi Masters. This was my 5th time playing in UAE.

Organization

The Master Event is very nicely organized in the Dubai Police Officers Club. Organizers have arranged transport from official hotels to the tournament venue. They were very welcoming and gave a lot of respect to players. UAE has a great history of organizing big chess events including the Dubai Open, Sharjah Masters, Abu Dhabi Open, etc. This tournament will be a new addition and hopefully, they will organize this every year. Organizers provided Black Tea, Desi Tea (Karak Tea), Coffee, and a selection of different cakes and croissants. All the boards are Digital Chess Board and the tournament games are published on Lichess broadcast and on other websites. The other two events, Open and Youth, were organized at Dubai Chess Club.

Organizers provided a list of hotels. Players are allowed to book it from anywhere or they can even choose different hotels. (Staying in the official hotel was not compulsory) I stayed at the Kingsgate Al Jaddaf Hotel which is one of the hotels mentioned by the Organizers in the list. I paid 28500 INR ($350) for 9 Nights for a single room without breakfast. I booked it from an Indian booking website. Team Dubai Police provided pick up and drop up from the hotel. Overall, the hotel stay was very good and the price was also very moderate. For the hotel and overall stay experience, I would rate 9.5/10.

Schedule

From 4th to 12th May Daily single round. Everyday round starts at 5 PM except the last day at 10 AM. The event consisted of a total of 9 rounds.

Playing Field

The Master’s category is open for above 2300 players. The total number of players was 135 and 124 players were 2300+ Three 2700 players participated including Yu Yangyi, Tabatabaei Amin, and Artemiev Vladislav. 35% of the total participants were Grandmasters and almost all players had some title.

Should you play in the Next Edition?

As I said above, this was my 5th time playing classical events in UAE country and I would highly recommend it. I always feel very safe while traveling. Food is cheap and hospitality is great. There is not a single thing to complain about the event.

Here are some ratings according to me

Organization – 10/10 Food – 9/10 (I ordered from nearby restaurants. Mostly Indian food) Accommodation – 9.5/10
