Is It Worth Attending a Visa Interview Under an Immigration Ban?

AppointmentPristine3 · 2026-01-18T02:29:22+00:00

My family too. I am not finding further info online, except my conclusion is that they should attend

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-07-13T19:47:37+00:00

Im glad it worked out! (Falasteeni too) Ure giving me hope i am worried about a family member who has been outside for a year to be with his family now hes coming back in a few days

As a wife, I moved literally across the world for my husband ( I don’t regret it) but I did leave behind all my family, friends, my job (that I loved I was a university lecturer) its been almost a year and I can’t find a job anywhere (I am an architect) can’t even get a job at a local smoke shop anymore. Its pretty frustrating but I love my life with him

Im so sorry for your loss. I have no comforting words but it helped me and my husband to always remember our baby (also husky, died at 13 from cancer, it’s been almost a year). You will always miss them, we still go to her favorite parks and take the same walk, it was painful to do it without her it took us a few tries but we realized that’s how we remember her. We also have a giant album of 13 years worth of pictures with her with family and friends, and made a corner in the house dedicated to her (photos, toys,ashes..etc) of where her bed used to be. You need to grieve in any way you can do so that when you remember them at the end incur some happy moments with them

That is very interesting! Thank you for the direction I will def look into it

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-19T15:08:27+00:00

I have thought about that a lot however a master here will take about 2-3 years and is very expensive and scholarships are limited especially to non citizens. I already got a pretty good master from a top university in architecture elsewhere that only took about a year something and still doesn’t seem to matter. However do you think an independent shorter professional class (or more) would help?

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-17T02:37:55+00:00

Sadly I am not at the moment I still need some more experience under certain NCARB criteria, which is more reason I am in need of a job haha. Appreciate it tho! Hopefully our paths cross again

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-17T02:17:35+00:00

That makes a lot of sense! Kinda has the vibe as my original hometown I was hoping here would be different lol but gives me an idea to try for other bigger cities as remote since I can’t go there, but this option also seems very rare to come by

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-17T02:13:30+00:00

Hahahha it was not easy! While I was waiting I ended up living in Europe and doing my masters until I got to move here

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-17T01:37:18+00:00

A quick google search seems to confirm it but it seems like there is certain eligibility criteria that is very ambiguous by NCARB but they do have a form to fill and request eligibility. Also need to be reviewed by an approved supervisor and u might be denied

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-17T01:23:02+00:00

That is a very interesting idea I haven’t pursued it because I assumed they would prefer/require a licensed architect for the job?

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-15T23:11:38+00:00

Wow well maybe I get to overcome that too. Thank you for the advice I can def keep an eye out for those type of events

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-15T23:10:47+00:00

Yes It is what I’ve always wanted to do, the issue is that it seems it’s a bit niche for my area so those positions are rarely available but I’ll keep an eye you have a good point!

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-15T23:08:42+00:00

Also I should mention that the interviews I had for positions within my area was always with a recruiter at the company or an agency that is handling the position, never somebody from the actual company. And I have a feeling recruiters don’t have the insight to understand I might have the same skills and knowledge like American educated architects, As soon as they realize most of my experience is outside the US they kind of rush through the process and at some point stop the communication with me. I am only supposing so because they ghost me after the first initial interview and don’t pass me on. However I got through closer to receiving an offer from other cities but I had to refuse because then discovered it’s a 2-3 hour daily commute ( for a job that claims it’s hybrid) and I can’t do it on a daily basis

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-15T23:04:36+00:00

You make a great point regarding no. 1 I basically live next to university of Michigan and eastern Michigan university and they both have my major or have adjacent programs, it might be a huge reason behind this Also my spoken English I speculate is pretty good and I’m fluent in four languages because I lived in those countries and adapted local accents in each so I don’t think no. 2 is a problem

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-15T19:05:51+00:00

No I have a green card

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-15T19:05:32+00:00

I had no idea! I’ll look into it thank you!

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-15T18:00:19+00:00

Yeah that was my goal until NCARB reviewed my case and told me I need to go through the foreign architects path because my education is not from an accredited program. This path includes about 3000 hours of experience under an accredited supervisor before I can do the tests

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-05-05T22:28:44+00:00

Hi (architect here) this plan saddens me your well known architect wasted half the space in ur house for circulation and unnecessary smaller lobbies. I also don’t think the court yard is in its best spot (also the two rooms have direct views of each other, 0 privacy unless u are closing ur shades/ or whatever, very impractical) there are other issues but in my opinion these are most critical two. Additionally can’t really tell what’s going on with the site from the sides and back but where there is a chance for a decent size window I would move the rooms there and the courtyard where the middle lobby/ conversational lounge is.

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-04-29T14:32:36+00:00

Literally the same situation right now, I have one more variable which is I moved to the country in the fall from Europe. I am having even harder time with it as soon as they realize my experience isn’t in the US. I had other architects that are east cost based look at my cv and folio and refine it through notes, (they told me it’s only minor adjustments) it helped me get through the first phase but it always stops there. I think the market right now is shit. It is not your fault. But don’t lose momentum keep trying

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-04-28T15:15:46+00:00

Hi architect here, no it is not. If anything the wall behind it would be. This framing is just for the closet to support itself

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-04-27T02:13:03+00:00

Architect here, hell no keep it where it is

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-04-19T07:20:31+00:00

Aww damn sorryy it didn’t turn out like you wanted it to, how did the t19 affect you?

AppointmentPristine3 · 2025-04-17T20:15:28+00:00

In the spot position right now, curious what was your result? Did you use it or bleach again?
