You know that if you get a cheaper 10th night it will just lower the average a little bit so maybe just make a booking to a dirt cheap hotel around you

General Discussion / Re: Getting A Green Card\US citizenship

Has anyone filled for the green card application while having essential plan 1 healthcare?

Is that considered public assistance or not?

I just filed two weeks ago, I got a lawyer to just review my papers.

Yes it is considered public assistance but if you got it for being a student you should write that in the notes at the end.

He also advised me that if I wouldn’t have gotten it for being a student, that it would’ve been better to  stop it before sending my application

You HAVE to take the train from zyr. At least in my experience. And yes it is a very good way to save money with cash fares

However, for the way back into France you can ditch the train since you have to take your luggage at the airport anyway (if you are a FF and afraid to be shutdown etc you can go to the train ticket desk and ask them to print the ticket and then leave since they have no way to further verify if you took the train or not). If you do want to use the train but want to go on a different train, ask the agent at the train desk and they should do it no problem. 

When you get to zyr Air France has a check in counter where you check in the same way you would at the airport including getting your luggage from you on certain flights.

You can also book a direct flight from Brussels with delta which should be priced similarly. The logic is that Air France and KLM are one company and based in France and the Netherland with Belgium stuck in the middle so they do this to attract the Belgian customers to fly with them since they’re also larger then Brussels airlines

This is really great!!

Can anyone confirm if you’re registered with a non US address, that you wouldn’t need the MQD? I would think it’s obvious but I don’t see it mentioned in the terms and conditions
