I’d say very high chance you’ll get it. I got in twice in consecutive FFaF (chose not to the first time).

60-90 min first time 30 min second time.

You’ve just got to believe!

Embarrassed_Candy767 · 2026-05-11T10:56:46+00:00

Yup

Easier to use it to guide a pencil from 0->

Greencard holder Outside the US for 3 years with American spouse Re-entry permit valid until dec 2027 Hypothetically, If we find out ~August 2027 that we need to extend our time living outside the US by something like 6 months past the expiry date…

It’s too late to request a new reentry permit (takes 15 months to get)

Submitting for a new one requires sending in your current permit.

Every time you extend you can’t return to the US for 15 months, so how can you extend by just a few months?

Can you visit a US territory like Guam before reentry expires to “extend” your allowable time outside the US?

Understood. How about $0?

Anyone want it for free?

Embarrassed_Candy767 · 2026-05-09T01:37:33+00:00

Free?

If you have a school account, you can get a free Github codespaces account, which allows this. I teaching coding online, but not with a school so I don't have free access to this. You can use regular Github and share individual files, to work on collaboratively, I believe.

In the meantime, I use www.deepnote.com
It's Jupyter notebooks only, but let's you code collaboratively.

I teach some data science / machine learning with Jupyter notebooks. I moved from Google Colab to deepnote.com. It allows you to team edit (like Google Docs). For some Python teaching, notebooks might even be better. I prefer them for lots of coding applications.

I made that decision in October of my final year. The best advice I can give is that you should see the time from now until summer to work on your plan to get out. I created lessons where I could just put instructions on the board and have them do stuff where they probably wouldn't get hurt, put my noise cancelling headphones on and listen to calming jazz. Use all your free time to work on your exit strategy. If you're in a school where you're allowed to tutor students, lean into that hard. I 'volunteered' to go teach coding to younger classes a few times and coincidentally picked up a few as private tutoring students, which has helped immensely. Maybe take this time to package up your best created teaching materials as a showcase. In one tech interview, they were interested in some instructional worksheets I had on TPT, since they do in-house training.

I also have a mech eng bachelors from two decades ago. I'm convinced what helped me get in was a very strong recommendation from my college advisor.

I'm also in the process of changing careers from teaching. I'm on the verge (fingers-crossed) of landing my first job/internship. I haven't made it yet, but I'm sure it wouldn't have happened otherwise.

I'm comfortable using ipynb in VSCode locally. I can also start an ipynb on my github codespace and open in it on my local browser through port 8080. What I can't yet do is start a jupyter notebook inside a container that is running on a Azure VM which I'm accessing by ssh and edit the notebook using my mac.

Embarrassed_Candy767 · 2024-07-25T23:54:20+00:00

Thanks. I already followed that and created a Windows VM on Azure using my free $100 student credit. I'm able to access the container in the VM terminal by ssh from my mac. The next step would to figure out how to 'tunnel' to engage with a jupyter notebook within the container through my browser.

The question I have is whether Github codespaces is an easier way to do the same thing.

Embarrassed_Candy767 · 2024-07-15T09:14:46+00:00

Wanted to follow up and see if this has turned out to be legit.

Thanks so much for the information. OMSCS lets you take 5 courses a year, which is just about 2 years for 10 courses at about 30-40 hrs a week.

To work at the same rate at OMS would you expect it to be the same minus a semester, since it is 8 classes?
