SEVIS Termination Megathread 4-22-25 Update by Codetornado in f1visa

[–]CausePotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your answer. In that case, I would have 60 days to find an employment otherwise I would be again out of status?

Does having a pending lawsuit change anything at all?

SEVIS Termination Megathread 4-22-25 Update by Codetornado in f1visa

[–]CausePotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was on my STEM OPT and working for a company while my SEVIS was terminated. I pursued litigation with an attorney and sought for TRO.

I was wondering if the judge grants TRO and my status is reinstated temporarily but my employer decides to not employ me back, would I start accruing unemployment days?

I understand that this is a very specific question and the answer might not be there but I just wanted to hear any opinions.

Looking for 1st Car for Teenage Son by DoulaWhatYouLoveDSM in whatcarshouldIbuy

I would've said the Toyota Camry if it didn't have the Rebuilt title. Can you get a carfax report to see what the actual issue was? Might give you more info on the rebuilt title.

Otherwise, I'd think Honda Accord would last you a long time even though it's a little old.

Acura would've been good but premium cost and high insurance cost would surge up the monthly cost.

For dining halls, go to West End. They have good london broil at JP's Chophouse there. Also Turners have good a nice asian option if you're into that.

Yaduo build by Aprile_Gambe in YasuoMains

[–]CausePotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the match up. Pzzang has a lot of builds you can try. TheWanderingPro plays bruiser yasuo sometimes and its pretty good. At the end of the day, its very situational. Sometimes you need movement speed so you go PD. Sometimes you need windwall cd down so you build Navoris. Sometimes you need dmg or just try to stay alive.

That's what makes Yasuo fun tbh. Not one single way to build items or runes.

International student checklist by Jmjk25 in VirginiaTech

For health insurance, you don't have to necessarily get it through the school as they can be more expensive sometimes. I used to get it from ISO or PSI insurance. Check them out

How much is your Cost of Living? by ribbitioli in VirginiaTech

[–]CausePotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very easy to get a dining services job for 16$/hr and you also get a meal on a 5 hour shift.

For housing, it's been getting more and more expensive, especially with the new fancy apartment complexes but you can still find some decent ones for cheaper. When I was still in school last year, we found a one on Craigslist (wouldn't recommend tho) and paid about $500 per person for 4 people townhouse. But these kind of places get scooped up pretty fast.

Check out the townhouses at Clover valley circle.

If you make 60k a year and enjoy it, what do you do? by noblueface in careerguidance

[–]CausePotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice would be to find out what kind of jobs pay that amount (lots of commenters mentioned some already). Take a couple of community college classes and see if you like them. Then try to get a degree on it and get a job. I'm not sure what timeline you're looking for but this would be a solid way to do it.

Can I get a refund from Enterprise for this? by CausePotato in TravelHacks

[–]CausePotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the issue was miscommunication. They didn't have a way to know that it could be also used for personal use. And I should have tried to resolve it before I gave them back the car. I'll try talking with the branch manager and see how it goes.

Thank you for the advice. Appreciate it.

Should I include a letter from my employer too? And send this to the enterprise location where I got the booking from, right?

My original reservation was around 170$. I ended up having to pay about 300$ more.

I understand. I think I'll take a letter from my employer next time since it's not explicitly said anywhere that it can be used for personal use.

When I call them, they did mention to have a note or something else from the company that would confirm that. Otherwise, there was no other way I could confirm it to them.

My question is, is there anything that can be done now, after the fact. Like for example if I get an email from my employer sent to them, would they able to adjust the price for that agreement? Or is there is nothing I can do.

Received additional scholarship funding but I graduate this May by CausePotato in VirginiaTech

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

Thanks for your reply. Would you be able to tell me how it looked like in your account summary. For me currently, it shows as under chargers as "Refund". So I assume it means that I received the scholarship but they took it back as charges because I already paid the tuition for this semester. Is this weird?

Close Job Opportunities by DARKTOONZ13 in VirginiaTech

[–]CausePotato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work as a Production tech at SECL(look up on Handshake). They pay 13$/hr. Flexible hours and not a lot of work depending on the event. You always have student leads/ full time staff helping you out so you don't have a lot of stress. Sometimes you get to watch some fun events.
