I would like to shoutout all the staff who were cool but I cant remember any of their names :(. The food is usually good but sometimes can be mid.

My only complaints are the lack of privacy sometimes and not being able to sleep properly with the too-small blanket, uncomfortable mattress, and weird textured pillow. But hey, its overall GREAT.

Now that my time on jury duty is over, I can finally talk about it--though not about the case. Let…read moreme start by saying this was my first time serving as a juror, and to be honest, I learned a lot and actually enjoyed it. I know most people dread jury duty, but I honestly wouldn't mind doing it again. A few highlights: First off, there's some eye candy (I'm talking about the sheriffs, DA's, attorneys--seriously, not bad on the eyes). But beyond that, we had an amazing judge. Let's call him Judge BB for privacy reasons. He was incredibly kind, level-headed, had excellent people skills, and was just plain funny. One moment that stood out: a woman mentioned, "I know being a mom isn't a full-time job." And Judge BB, with his JFK-level smile (I swear he could run for mayor with that charm), replied, "I always consider being a mom a full-time job!" That's some grown man energy right there. Then there was our ADA (let's call him ADA I). He was so sweet and kind, and you could really tell he was doing his best. Low key, he's cute in that dorky way. I even thought about slipping him my number, but I wasn't brave enough to do it. Maybe next time! All in all, it was a great experience and I walked away with a newfound respect for the legal process and the people who keep it running smoothly.

There is no excuse to have in-person activities at a government building without requiring proof of Vaccination for EVERYONE (with exception of the few with a valid medical exemption, who should be excused from Jury duty).  I was never asked if I was vaccinated and it was never mentioned at check-in, on the recorded messages to the potential jurors, or by the judge.   4 STARS   - Park on the 3rd floor of the parking garage (same level as the pedestrian bridge), get your ticket validated as soon as you check-in on the 2nd floor.  When you return to the garage, there is no need to stop at the pay station, drive directly to the exit. 3 STARS -  Staff was helpful at security, at check-in, and in the courtroom.  The judge provided helpful information about the case and an explanation about COVID precautions, masks, air filtration, distancing, but the vaccination status of participants was never mentioned which was troubling. 2 STARS - Waiting area reminded me of a regional airport terminal,  (walk all the way to the backroom, it is the least crowded)   Bring a book, a charged phone/laptop.  Don't count on getting access to an outlet.   Also, bring water or soda, and snacks.

This is the only USCIS location that I've ever been to for interviewing my green card and…read morecitizenship. I have a good experience here. In a normal circumstance, I'd say I recommend this location but you can't really choose so good luck. You can only come inside 15 minutes before your appointment. I always came 30 minutes early and wait in the car to be sure I won't late. There's a lot of parking too. You need to show them your appointment notice for them to let you in. The security guards are serious but polite. After going through security, you need to go to the check-in booth so that they can notify your interviewer that you're there. Then you would go wait in the waiting area. The waiting area is spacious and usually doesn't have many people. You'd probably wait about 15 minutes before the officer calls you in. If you come in for a citizenship interview and you pass the test, the officer will tell you to wait in the waiting area to receive more information regarding the oath ceremony appointment. The 2 officers that interviewed me for my green card and citizenship were very nice and friendly. They made the interviews less scary. Side note: if you need to reschedule your interview (citizenship interview in my case), call the number on the interview notice. A representative will send the request over to the local office. You'll get a confirmation email saying they'll honor your request to change the appointment. This means you don't have to go to the interview anymore. They might not schedule you a new interview date until the original one has passed so if this is the case, you can even attend the original interview date if you can make it.

Oh yes, you might get an EBT card, some bus tokens, gift cards for dds discounts and the dollar store. When pressed, they will provide you, literally, with a tent and a sleeping bag, which I have yet to open. But that is it! They are not going to give you any money or a loan of any. They aren't going to give you any housing, because, they claim, they have none to give. They will refer you to the homeless hotline, another fraud, for a referral to a shelter. If you call you will never get a shelter bed and they will never call you back, just another dead end. I could on ad infinitum. Truthfully, I was just being kind, because that is my nature, I try to see the good and overlook the bad. In actuality, they are an abomination and a fraud. The simpering propaganda on their website offends one's sensibilities. The imperious and condescending and haughty conduct and tone of some of their staff is truly comical and laughable in view of the fact that they produce absolutely nothing while sloping at the public trough.

Thanks Officer Pizzo! Proceeding that, the visit to the police station or the records office was pretty efficient (granted that you arrive first thing in the morning). The two times I made a trip here last month, there was like one other person (s) ahead of me, but each encounter was quick and no long waits if you call their line. Parking at the MPD is not a problem, depending on the time of day you come in. My biggest gripe is that MPD charges you $15 for a CD your laptop or CD player doesn't recognize. Or maybe it's just my laptop. But that's why it's important to take your own pictures and videos at the scene of an accident, crime, photo-op, etc. Also MPD charges for paper copies of your report when everything is digital nowadays! This is my hometown and I've lived in Milpitas since the first grade (or early 90s) and as an adult, I can say I feel pretty safe in Milpitas, thanks to our community of police officers, admin, fire and EMTs. We are protected because of your commitment to our safety (and have a sense of normalcy in our diverse community). As always, thank you!
