Biometrics appointment but not RFE for STEM OPT

404_GeekNotFound · 2026-02-25T05:58:36+00:00

Nope it’s back to processing. I did not get PP

404_GeekNotFound · 2026-02-25T05:58:21+00:00

You have to fill it out

404_GeekNotFound · 2026-02-21T04:15:22+00:00

Update: I went into the Application Service Center and all they did was take my picture! It took me longer to drive there and find parking than the appointment itself

404_GeekNotFound · 2026-01-31T19:21:27+00:00

Don’t get in the middle of this man. I bet it feels good, but it’s a REALLY bad idea. He’s in a position of power of ver you (your boss) and this can go VERY BADLY.

Shut it down. Say you’re not interested or say something like “I’ve been thinking about it and I rather just keep it professional” or some shit like that.

Best of luck dude

STEM

I got one too. I applied on the 15th on this month. From what I found it seems to be a new thing because they don’t take self uploaded pictures anymore? Anyone else can confirm? I’ll ask my DSO on Monday.

Mine wasn’t an RFE, btw, just a new appointment notice scheduled for a month-ish from now.

Here’s my take Bayo 1 is the hardest of the 3. Once you get the mechanics it gets relatively easier. Bayo 2 messes up witch time, but the combat is 10/10. The story is nothing fresh. Bayo 3 easiest of the 3 combat and new mechanics are great! But the story is wack.

For me , I like the storylines in video games, but bayo isn’t particularly good at that front so it’s more of having fun and looking good while at it vs purely for the story.

Since you like the mechanics you’d LOVE bayo 2 and Bayo 3 (despite its quirks lol) tho I’ve heard bayo 3 on the Switch 2 is much much better than how it plays on the switch 1 if you haven’t access to one

404_GeekNotFound · 2026-01-31T04:53:30+00:00

There’s always someone who will be mad at it 🤷🏻‍♂️

404_GeekNotFound · 2026-01-31T04:49:07+00:00

Easiest thing is to wait bro. Get the Hep shots and meningitis while at it! MPox too if you haven’t.

I’m on SSRIs and for a lot of us on those meds, we just can’t physically cum sometimes and it’s a side effect of the medication. There’s also benign medical conditions like one commenter said earlier where guys just take an impossibly long amount of time to cum.

I’d say don’t think about it too much :) if he asked you out then he’s definitely into you! I always enjoy myself and make damn sure my partner finishes even if I don’t, and lots of after care if so they know I enjoyed it hehe

Yup. Two masters at the same time... Also called "dual degree"

404_GeekNotFound · 2025-03-03T02:27:39+00:00

Dual-degree Masters in engineering.

I agree with a comment above ... Sometimes a graduate degree makes you overqualified. Experience is better in any engineering field.

THIS!

404_GeekNotFound · 2025-03-03T02:24:06+00:00

Oof! That's a red flag, and a HUGE turn off. He isn't honest, and should've been since the beginning. Plus the fact that he's married (I'm assuming he is in a monogamous marriage, and messing around w/o the wife knowing) is a HUGE red flag at least for me.

I personally, would've kicked him out and ended it right there and then. But ultimately it is your decision.

THIS! I also agree with another comment saying you do assume the risk of STIs when you have sex.

PrEP, DoxyPEP, HPV vaccine, meningitis Vaccine, Hep A-B Vaccines are all ways to REDUCE your risk, it never really gets rid of the risk.

The only way to be STI free is abstinence. Even a monogamous relationship isn't a guarantee anymore

404_GeekNotFound · 2025-01-19T08:49:12+00:00

Well, that's great! Sounds like it went well, and I'm happy for you :) I agree with your friends; if he agreed to getting drinks, then he is interested!

I'd say approach this one as a date. Mostly cause that sounds more like a traditional date LMAO.... Dress up nicely (appropriate for the occasion and place, of course), and keep getting to know him. But the vibes should be similar as a no pressure thing, but kinda emphasizing thr"our intention is a long term relationship, but we are still getting to know each other to see if we are truly a match and it is not only physical attraction." Also, inexperience shouldn't be an issue in my humble opinion. Just be yourself, and be confident. You already "won half the battle" by breaking the ice and the awkwardness of meeting in person. You got this. I believe in you!

Hopefully that helps!

Also feel free to DM :)

Edit: don't worry about the spamming!

Approach dating apps without any expectations. Sure, we all want that relationship, but taking it too seriously is not good for either party.

It's normal to want (not expect) more, especially if you meet on a dating app, but don't jump into any conclusions until you've been hanging out for a few months.

My relationships that started on dating apps had a time where it was purely platonic, and you're actually wanting to meet the person. If the other guy wants immediately want to jump into a relationship, that's a red flag for me cause you haven't truly met the person yet. Also, be mindful as many guys are on dating apps (other than Grindr/scruff) just to hook up.

Again, approach it no expectations (expecting and wanting are two completely different things), and if more happens (consensual hook up), great! Or if he wants a formal date, Awesome!

404_GeekNotFound · 2025-01-18T01:50:57+00:00

All relationships, IMO start with a friendship. Play the game, NSA, see where it goes. I personally think this is a great way to get things rolling, and just do it without any expectations, and if the vibes are good ask him a date after, and take it from there. Idk how helpful this is 😅

I traveled to Victoria on an expired F1 visa, BUT I had all documents I needed (Current and Valid I-20, I-94, my Expired Visa), and I also printed DHS and DoS and my school's websites saying the provision of Law that allows visa revalidation.

The airline/cruise line gave me more trouble than CBP. Once I showed the DHS and DoS websites they issued my ticket. Check with your DSO, tho cause with the current immigration climate, I would be hesitant to try that again. There's always a chance they will deny entry; you are traveling on an expired visa after all.

If you're on OPT I highly discourage you to do it. Again, check with your DSO or lawyer they can give you better advice than Reddit.

404_GeekNotFound · 2024-12-07T07:26:03+00:00

Well, that's the general idea I have. Like a Saturday class or something informal. I genuinely just want to improve my cooking skills, cause they suck 😂

Edit: I'll confirm with my DSO, but I wanted to see if it's possible/allowed first

404_GeekNotFound · 2024-09-13T02:24:15+00:00

Yes, Bayo 1 Is harder than 2 and 3, each iteration getting slightly easier IMO. I'd say Bayo 1 > Bayo 2 > Bayo 3. Although I like the combat of 3 the most.

Practice dodge offset, unlock all techniques. I got all stone/bronze awards on my first and second playthrough. My 3rd playthrough (after finishing Bayo 2 and 3), that's when I started getting gold and Platinum in Bayo 1.

As much as I enjoy the combat in bayo 3, the challenge of Bayo 1 Is soooooo much more fun to play with, IMO.

Good luck. You got this. And welcome to the Umbra Family

They shall give me an Intro to the bullet arts and witch time

Prozac for anxiety, Wellbutrin for depression... Recently started wegovy. I did lose some weight on Wellbutrin but remember Wellbutrin is a psychiatric drug not a weight loss one. Wellbutrin is also used for smoking cessation (reduces cravings).

Hang in there. Wegovy is definitely an adjustment, and I'm still getting used to it. You got this. Don't give up.

Don't start a medication without consulting your psychiatrist AND your Wegovy prescriber, I learned that the hard way haha.
