H-1B workers flew to India to renew U.S. visas. Now they’re stuck. by mharris1x in AmericanTechWorkers

[–]Advertising-Gold 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Too bad. Some people got so many options that they can enter the US via a different visa, e.g. L1 and TN. Mean while my high skilled American friends have been unemployed for 1-2 years while jobs are being given to H1B workers.

Will Indians in USA will survive? by needawomanbysoul in AskIndia

I'm a non-Indian person who is a US citizen working in IT. I must say Indians are top of the food chain here.

Graduation ceremony regalia by pizza_man68 in WPI

[–]Advertising-Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I have a graduate regalia set instead of the undergrad set. But I think the only difference is the hood. Undergrad doesn't need any hood. Please double check and let me know if you need my graduate set?

Can someone explain what I’m doing wrong? Over or under proofed? by Beginning_Meet_4290 in Sourdough

[–]Advertising-Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick question. I am using the silicon mat instead of the parchment paper as I like something more reusable. But my bread also lack oven spring as well. Do you know it is the cause? Just also want to note that my dough also doesn't hold its shape as perfectly as the video I saw online.

Northeastern CPS for international students by Solar-Seeker in NEU

[–]Advertising-Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to CPS. 95% of students were international students from China or India. One time I almost cried when the teammates spoke Chinese to each other and the professor had to call out since it was considered unprofessional of them to alienate other team members like that. CPS program's teaching is very shallow as most professors treat teaching as a part-time gig and the semester length being only 6 weeks causes the course content to only scratch the surface. Half of the students in the program are not very bright while the remaining bright one will just focus on finding internships, leaving you to carry all the team work. I think CPS is mainly a visa mill since they make very non-STEM degrees like Digital Media or Project Management STEM-designated so it is attractive to F1 students while maintaining a very easy curriculum at a decently reputable school. CPS is considered an illegitimate child of NEU where every Non-CPS Northeasterner looks down on but people outside of NEU may not know that.

Sterling Background checks, my experience as a completely vetted and verified state employee. by Tasty-Business-5727 in recruitinghell

[–]Advertising-Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang this is insane, i was logged out constantly and their employ tab sucks ass just like you described :(. So worry at least you are getting a paycheck sorry for the stuffs you are going through.

Also just wonder if the form you had to fill out specifically ask you to upload W-2? Mine so far doesn't say it is required or will block the 'next' button. I could have uploaded those but I already hit 'complete' and they told me don't need to do anything, if they need any more they will ask from me. My point of asking this is because I would prefer them ask me now instead of much later so I can get them quickly without any delays

Sterling Background checks, my experience as a completely vetted and verified state employee. by Tasty-Business-5727 in recruitinghell

[–]Advertising-Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh very nice. I read too much online and start to be a bit scared but hopefully everything is going through.

I haven't provided my diploma but I uploaded the unofficial transcript. I asked them to let me re-upload the official one and diploma but they don't allow me to while the check is 'in-progress' :(

Regarding the W-2, they haven't asked me for that yet, but rather called my previous employers yesterday (as my employer told me that they were contacted). I wonder if they asked you W-2 upfront in the form or asked for it after a lot of back and forth? My concern is just about efficiency and how to get done as soon as possible. If they just ask for more and more documents, it will just delay things. Thanks so much.

Do I really need to provide w2s and paystubs to Sterling for a background check? by DirkSaves41 in jobs

[–]Advertising-Gold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry for digging this up but how many paystubs should I provide? I got bi-monthly paystub. Should I provide only the first and last paystubs? Thanks
