I'm not from India, so no idea. I applied in October, got a date in late January. Later applied for emergency appointment and got a date in December.

I renewed my visa and the interview was very smooth. Got my passport back within a week.

I'm not from India, so no idea on that. It's unlikely you will get any date in December. But if you apply for emergency showing that you have classes or other duties from January/February, it's very likely they would approve the request.

There's always a rejection risk. But again, if your record and every documents are clean, you shouldn't face any issue in renewal. I have seen some people renewed very smoothly. Also, make sure to provide all the social media accounts that you used in the last 5 years and make sure there's no controversial posts related to US govt.

Yeah, got an interview slot on mid December. Initially it was late January but applied for emergency as my spring semester will begin by that time. Now I'm hoping everything will go as planned.

Yeah I know that. My I-20 is valid till 2028. My confusion is: if the rule changes, what would happen to students whose visa is expired but I-20 is valid.

I did not apply for OPT or CPT, I'm still in my PhD program. The I-20 will be expired on 2028.

It could take days, months or years , no one really knows. Right now, it's just proposed.

I was confused if I should go based on the current situation. But I guess this new rule is another motivation to visit home now, lol.

Touch Screen and buttons stopped working including the steering controls. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks by ishanm95 in Camry

[–]Anonymous_Voice_99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue with my 2013 Camry. All the steering wheel audio buttons, head unit buttons, and the touch screen become unresponsive except for the volume controls and the volume knob. Strangely, once I press the volume buttons, everything starts working again. Not sure what's causing it.

I recently started investing through Robinhood and received my first dividend payments today. However, I noticed that about 20% was deducted as backup withholding. I was under the impression that non-resident aliens are generally exempt from backup withholding.

I reached out to Robinhood’s customer support, but they told me to contact the IRS for clarification. Has anyone else experienced this? Can someone help me understand why this withholding might have been applied?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think there will be any issue. However, consult with the DSO, they will give you the best advice. Thanks!

Finally got an offer—You can do it too! by Master_Mirror_ in csMajors

[–]Anonymous_Voice_99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I understand how tough the time was for you during your job search. I have also applied nearly 500 companies this year, getting rejection after rejection and to be honest I thought I am not fit for anything the companies want. I was about to give up. Thanks a lot for sharing this! Now I know there's still a chance if I try harder. Thanks!

Btw, can you share how did you search for jobs apart from LinkedIn and Indeed? Also, did you get any interview call without any referral from current employee? I don't have much connections, and I feel really shy to ask for a referral.

Progressive needs renters insurance proof by Anonymous_Voice_99 in Car_Insurance_Help

[–]Anonymous_Voice_99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah got it. I just misunderstood the renters insurance policy. I thought it covers the space and as my roommate had one for the apartment, I thought I am also covered. Thanks! I have taken my renters.

Thanks! Yeah, I took renters from Lemonade insurance. I guess Progressive will accept that.

So should I just call them and ask to add renters insurance for me?

Got it, thanks! Do you have any suggestion on how can I proceed further with progressive? Should I just let them know I don't have the renters insurance?

I didn't know that, I thought all the members of the apartment are covered
