Question

Dear Mr. May:Thank you for your email. Mrs. Breidt has already asked me to include the bio-data page from my passport at the time I send the filled out PD2330-form to her. I can do it at any time now as you seem to (or: be going to) fill this form out for me.I have asked Mr. Brown some questions which you can find below. Would you please have a look at the question no. 2 as the others become less important to me if I am not going (or will not supposed) to fill in the form DS2019.Thank you!Kai Uwe Ansorge

Hello, powermetal - and welcome to English Forums.

Dear Mr. May,

Thank you for your email. Mrs. Breidt asked me to include the bio-data page from my passport when I send the completed PD2330 form to her. I can do that at any time now, since you seem to have already filled this form out for me.

I have asked Mr. Brown some questions (below). Could you please have a look at question 2? The other questions are less important if I do not need to fill in the DS2019 form.

Thank you!

Thank you for this. But I think I have expressed myself perhaps in the wrong way.

I try to explain:

I'm applying for a visa as J-1 scholar. I will not be a student at the corresponding university and will be just a scholar but will do my MS Thesis there. Mr. May is my contact person. He asked Mrs. Breit to send me the corresponding forms. After I had some questions about the whole procedure I tried to ask some other responsible person from the university. He wrote me an email containing that I'm not an enrolled student and he deals only with the enrolled students, so he forwarded my email to another one. The third person wrote me and my contact person both, that Mr. May should fill out the forms not me. But no one answered in the mean time my questions. One of these questions is important to me, and this is my question:

2. If I tick the box Short Term Scholar on page 2 and I want to do my Ph.D. subsequent to my MS Thesis would it be possible to extend my visa from Short Term Scholar to Research Scholar? I'm concerned that, if I leave the US after my Thesis, I would be required to complete a mandatory two-year home-country physical presence prior to re-entry into the United States which I don’t want to do.

I hope everything is clear.

So what do propose?

Thanks a lot in advance

Sorry, but I do not understand how all that information relates to your email.  Please fix the email as you see fit, post your revised version, and I will check it again.

I am actually interested in the following sentence from you. All other things are perfect:

I can do that at any time now, since you seem to have already filled this form out for me.

Mr. May have not filled out this form yet, as he wrote to me he is going to do this. So I do not need the past form of the sentence. Is this one correct?:

I can do that at any time now, since you seem to fill this form out for me.

or should I say:

I can do that at any time now, since you seem to be going to fill this form out for me.

Yours,

Thanks again!

Mister Micawber · Answer

OK, I understand. In that case, this is polite:

I can do that at any time now, if you are going to be kind enough to fill this form out for me.

Thank you. This is exactly what I couldn't formulate.
