This is my first time on this forum although I have been regular reader of this forum. I want to share my unique experience. I am one of guys who did medicals in July and waiting for PR request. My file has been transferred to a local visa office. To save expenses, I started sharing a apartment. I was not on lease. My H1b transfer is in process. I had a RRE, to which my employer haven't replied as I do not have a project. As per my lawyer, I have 180 days from the date of my I-94 validity to leave US. So, I thought, I wait it out for couple of months as this is fourth month since my medicals. My roommate was fighting with me on small-small things. Most of the time I kept quite. I decided to move out yesterday. I packed my things and was waiting in the apartment for him to show up so I leave properly. When he came home, I told him I am leaving and I would like to clear my bills. He started making unreasonable demands. He told me that if I do not pay him next month's rent and utilities plus 600 dollars cleaning charges, he is going to call COPS and tell them that I stole this stuff. To make long story short, I videotaped all this blackmailing conversation on phone. Not to involve police, since my immigration status is uncertain, I called one of his friends and one of our ex-roommate. He was very aware of my immigration situation. He was calling me all kinds of names, cursing me in rude Hindi language. When those people, who I called earlier, showed up, we went to a coffee house. He was accusing me that I made his place dirty, that I pay 600 dollars and next months's rent and utilities. Finally, I agreed to pay him 600 dollars plus electricity bills. I went to ATM, got cash and gave him. One of his friends counted the cash, and then we left. This was a very unsavory experience. This guy is almost 10 years younger to me, as I am in late 30s.
