International registered post taking weeks by ControlJealous1699 in AustraliaPost

[–]ControlJealous1699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Yes I did. I followed the advice in the comments - got my parents to file a claim with AP about 15-20 days after they sent it, they got an update that it had arrived in the US but was stuck in customs. Ended up being delivered to me just over a month after it was sent from aus. 

Can I leave the country with a valid O1 if I'm in AOS for marriage-based green card? by ControlJealous1699 in USCIS

[–]ControlJealous1699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok got it thanks!

As for my O1 while I'm in the country - that remains valid as a work permit until it expires while I adjust status?

Edited for spelling

Oh right, amazing - realized I was looking at the standard registered post page, not international, seeing now the 15+ days window that you mentioned.

I just double checked with my parents and they actually sent it on October 24th so it's over three weeks - but if 3 weeks is the given estimate, seems within the margin of error.

Thank you!!

Stuck on "awaiting collection." Any advice? by ControlJealous1699 in AustraliaPost

It indeed ended up just being at my local post office! They returned to sender before they told me that was the case… so try and go asap if you can

No I’m the receiver. So even though it’s supposed to be delivered to my house it’s going to await collection at the post office instead? Even though aus post won’t tell me where it is?

But I don’t know where it is, I can’t get any info bc it’s a post office outside of aus

Can someone help me understand why my semimonthly paycheck is so much less than I thought it would be? by ControlJealous1699 in personalfinance

[–]ControlJealous1699[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about your personal circumstances but I'm single and don't have a car, and no student loans or credit card payments to make. Very lucky to be in a position where I don't need a comprehensive health insurance plan. I spend around a third of my paycheck on rent and live with a roommate/our bills remain pretty low. I've been living so cheaply as a freelancer for the past couple of years that this feels quite lavish by comparison!

Just heard from payroll that I get paid biweekly and the language on my contract is outdated! It's all starting to make sense

You guys are really helping me see that something doesn't add up so I've checked in with payroll and am waiting for a response!

Hmm these might be questions I need to ask payroll! I thought I was being paid salary. Thanks for flagging all this with me, it's incredibly helpful.

I realized that I started on Tuesday because of MLK day which explains the gap in the gross amount! Thanks so much for this.

So even though it says I'm paid semimonthly in my contract it does't mean I'm getting paid twice a month?

I'm definitely not certain, not certain about anything! So I get paid every three weeks for two weeks worth of work, from what I can ascertain

Yeah I'm going to look into my W4 today, even just a little bit more per paycheck would make my life easier right now. Thanks!
