question:
I went to the Italian consulate in Washington, DC today and they would not accept my visa application because they said my US visa stamp cannot expire less than 3 months after the end of my trip to Italy. Here's my relevant visa and trip info:

US visa stamp expires on 16 Dec 2015
I-797 valid until 3 Mar 2017
Trip to Italy is from 15 Oct to 25 Oct 2015

Is it true that my visa stamp needs to be valid for 3 months after my trip, even though I can legally stay in the US until 2017? Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a Schengen visa in my situation?

answer:
Schengen visa application rejected because my US visa stamp expires in December. What are my options?

question:
I happened to be looking at a flight from yesterday (as writing) which was drastically delayed...

https://flightaware.com/live/flight/UAL48 (choose "Sept 2")

Now, on the many excellent flight info sites, you can quickly determine if a flight is delayed.

But - is there a way to find out WHY that flight was delayed?

This becomes quite critical if you're on the same flight the next day!

(Indeed for that specific flight, I notice the next day's one is unfortunately already marked as going to be delayed many hours; now I wonder about the next day.)

If you can know why a delay happened, it would surely be useful info if you're on the following versions of a flight.

Is there a way to do this?

(Often if you just "call the airline and ask", the staff in reservations often really don't know specifically.)

The sense of my question is, "If you're on one of the next flights of that flight number, to try to find what the heck is going on...!"

answer:
Find what caused a current big flight delay?

question:
Is it possible to visit Old Goa (for a day trip) from one of the beach resorts? How long would a taxi drive take and how much would it cost? Or is it better to spend a night or two in Panaji, and then move to the beach?
