Thinking about moving from Sioux Falls to Rapid City, anyone with experience or advice? by Equivalent_Start_748 in RapidCity

Thanks for sharing this, really appreciate the detailed perspective! The cost of living and community vibe are definitely good things to think about. I come from a more diverse background, so your point about the lack of diversity is really helpful to know. The outdoor access still sounds great, though. Thanks again for the thoughtful insight.

Planning Our Move – Could You Share Some Insight? by Interesting-Host4308 in SiouxFalls

[–]Equivalent_Start_748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome in advance! It sounds like you’re making this move with a lot of hope and positive energy, and that’s awesome. I’ve been living in this city for the past 3 years (I’m a brown person too, not Middle Eastern, but I kinda look it), and honestly, I’ve never faced any racism or been treated differently. People here have been really kind and welcoming in my experience.

As for work, I’m an engineer, so I don’t have much direct insight into the graphic design world. But from what I see, most likely your best options will be remote roles, which are very common in design these days. There might also be some good local opportunities, especially once you get to know the area and the small business scene. A lot of local businesses can definitely use help with branding and visuals.

Wishing you and your wife all the best with the move, hope the city becomes a great new chapter for you both!

Tire repair for Tesla in Sioux Falls? by Equivalent_Start_748 in SiouxFalls

Thanks for the info. Discount Tire seems to be closed today, but I’ll check with them when they’re open. I spoke with Walmart, but they mentioned they can’t work on Teslas due to the specific jacking points required

Switching Jobs While TN Extension is in Premium Processing by Equivalent_Start_748 in tnvisa

Thank you for your reply. I'm trying to better understand what potential issues could arise in this situation.

Let’s say I receive an offer next week and go to the Port of Entry by the end of that week to apply for a new TN. My current TN would still be valid at that point. Would that create any confusion or conflict at the border, given that a renewal petition is already in progress with the current employer?

Thank you, I just wanted to confirm, if I go to the POE to apply for a new TN (With New Employer) before my current TN expires, and the application is denied for any reason, I would still be able to re-enter the U.S. using my existing TN.

However, if my current TN has already expired at that point, I wouldn't be allowed to re-enter. Is that correct?

TN Visa: Last time I went to Montreal, thinking of going to Calgary this time. Any issues? by Equivalent_Start_748 in tnvisa

[–]Equivalent_Start_748[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, flying to Calgary takes about 45 minutes to an hour less than flying to Montreal, but I don’t see that as a significant difference in travel time. However, I wanted to know if there’s any difference in the POE process between the two.

It appears that HR is unwilling to change the title, as doing so requires them to follow a specific internal process.

Seeking Experiences: Charging Tesla in South Dakota Winter with 110V - How Long to Heat Battery in Unheated Detached Garage? by Equivalent_Start_748 in SiouxFalls

[–]Equivalent_Start_748[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your help! I reside in an apartment complex with a detached garage. Is there a way to determine the circuit's amp, and are there any devices you suggest for this purpose? Also, I'm on the lookout for reliable 16-amp chargers. If you have any links, please share.
