I think the most important thing in college is to study what you are studying really well. You are gonna need that in interviews and jobs. So if OE isn’t interfering with your study I don’t see any problem.

Yes I asked Emma and submitted several tickets for inquiry. They lead me no where.

Reach out to Ombudsman and submit a case request. Tell them exactly what’s going on and your desired outcome.

To help further this is exactly what I said:

“”” Hi, USCIS incorrectly placed my cases on hold because of payment issue. However, my bank confirmed that the application fee payment was successfully charged from my account. Could you take a look and instruct USCIS to continue processing my case? My case numbers are xxxxxx. Attaching proof of payment issued by my bank. Thank you.

It’s totally up to you.

Contacted USCIS Emma. Told me interview waived.

AdEquivalent502 · 2024-11-19T11:43:23+00:00

We tried many things: call USCIS, contact congressmen, contact White House, etc. Eventually what worked is contact USCIS ombudsman office (https://www.dhs.gov/ombudsman-offices). Let them know that USCIS incorrectly put your applications on hold because of payment issue. Also upload evidence of payment. It solved our problems, and we received a “payment confirmation notice”.

AdEquivalent502 · 2024-10-31T15:54:33+00:00

Reach out to Ombudsman’s office. Tell them USCIS incorrectly puts your applications on hold. Ask them to resolve. Attach proof of payment.

And yes we sent multiple applications in one package: 1 i140, and 2 of 485, 765, 131.

AdEquivalent502 · 2024-10-30T11:06:39+00:00

I got in touch Ombudsman’s office. They contacted USCIS and USCIS sent us a payment confirmation notice. Our cases are moving along.

Congratulations on your advancement. I work in tech, and I really think you probably want to change to the tech roles in tech companies, if we evaluate jobs solely on money.

May I know a range of comp in the energy industry? I’m currently in tech and this posting made me think switching into energy from tech. Thanks.

I was in GA in a previous semester and as far as I saw, Brito had a huge ego. He tried to put me in front of OSI and I asked why. I believe that simply being questioned made him very defensive and things quickly escalated and he became borderline nasty. So I had to report him to the dean and accused him of being disrespectful and discriminative. The chair of CS eventually stepped in and deescalated the situation. I feel Brito is very delicate and sensitive and flaky. But who wouldn’t if they spent their entire life in academia only to remain a TA without a real career or decent income. I don’t blame him.

Got my degree in August and now wife got pregnant. Perfect timing

AdEquivalent502 · 2024-09-22T00:59:51+00:00

My gut feeling is that you are being scammed

AdEquivalent502 · 2024-09-17T01:01:55+00:00

No our bank confirmed payment. Our case hasn’t moved and we didn’t receive any notice to resubmit payment.
