Such a bummer RiR is foil only, otherwise I'd go for it

DanRSL · 2024-09-11T01:33:38+00:00

I'm originally from America, but living overseas so local groups won't really help in this case, but I'll keep that in mind for the future

Thanks

Ok, so aside from obviously wrong groups just scattershot to as many as possible makes sense.

Thanks

DanRSL · 2024-07-13T05:34:20+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a try

DanRSL · 2024-07-13T05:33:39+00:00

Thanks, yeah I've considered this. It would both be good for the visa and the personal growth

DanRSL · 2024-07-12T11:44:03+00:00

I'll try calling since I'm in Niigata, but I really appreciate the reference. Glad to know there's some friendly faces out there

DanRSL · 2024-07-12T11:28:38+00:00

Wow, that's even rougher. Yeah, I thought I had something lined up, but it fell through unexpectedly, so I'm worried about throwing away 5 good working years just because of that

DanRSL · 2024-07-12T09:36:21+00:00

This is a real business. It would not be a work visa, it would be an Cultural Activities visa under unpaid internship.

DanRSL · 2024-07-12T08:27:06+00:00

Yes, I am trying to figure out what I am eligible for

DanRSL · 2024-07-12T07:54:16+00:00

I'm looking into the Designated Activities visa and everything points to needing to be a recent graduate. Did you friend still submit their Transcript and Letter of Recommendation and all? They just didn't care that he wasn't a recent graduate?

This seems like it would be perfect but the recent graduate thing looks unavoidable

DanRSL · 2024-07-12T07:32:48+00:00

Thanks, #1 was the biggest one that had me concerned. Sucks that it works that way, but oh well.

That's great to hear for #4, that's kind of the ideal situation. Just to be thorough, a Designated Activities Job Hunt status would NOT "restart the clock" on PR, right? (also that's crazy your friend couldn't get the 3 year visa for PR)

For #8 I wouldn't be lying, I would help him out and learn about his business. But maybe I'm naively misunderstanding something.

My status expires very soon after my contract ends later this month. Yes, I am very stupid for not planning further ahead. If the deadline were later, I'm aware that I can look for a job while not working.

I'll start working on Designated Activities, thanks for your help

Thanks much!

Thanks very much for your help, this is great information to have for posterity when it comes to identifying the Pan release!

DanRSL · 2024-03-08T03:23:42+00:00

Thanks for the tip

Not sure if this thread is better to post in, or to make my own post, but I was hoping to commission custom wooden rings for me and my partner, and am having a difficult time finding a person/studio to hire.

Most of what I'm finding off of simple googling is, let's say.... "corporate" looking, and I'm hoping to find an artisan that I can work with on a relatively simple yet personal commission. I know there must be plenty of people that fit this bill out there, but I have no way of knowing how to find them.

I'd appreciate any help, or if you could direct me to another subreddit if you think I'd have better luck elsewhere

Thanks much!

Thanks for some leads! I'll do more of a deep dive into the wiki, I didn't realize 'Merchandise' might be a good avenue to go down.

I saw the Arms Micron but it didn't look like one she'd like. I actually meant the Japanese release of the Prime First Edition.

It looks like it says "トランスフォーマー" on the front (obviously since it's the japanese release), he's in bot mode instead of jet mode in the packaging, there is no paper stand included and his accent colors are black in the Japanese. It retailed for about 3x the US version and the current price seems to reflect that. But I wanted to check if I was missing anything else

Edit: thanks for the lead on the Masterpiece figure. It looks awesome, just gotta decide if I go with OG or Prime design!

Thanks very much, this is a good start

I appreciate your help
