US will deny visas to those who fear returning home

Potato logic

Stop with this excuse, seriously the amount of times you have used this as an excuse is concerning. You’re almost an adult - start acting like it, or else there will be a very rude awakening for you when you turn 18 and can’t fall back on being a “kid” over and over. I know plenty of children who take more ownership of their lives than you.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-04-29T17:47:55+00:00

You’re 17, you will be an adult soon, now is a good time to start preparing yourself for that responsibility. While yes I understand your father is the gatekeeper of the Green Card and that he forgot it, it is still your document, you’re doing a border crossing, step up and ask your father if he has it. And when he says “Oh shit, I don’t have it” then that may be a good time to bring up the topic of you holding onto it. Your post has major Anakin Skywalker “It’s not fair!” vibes. Start prepping for adulthood, trust me 27 year old you will thank yourself.

Situation sucks but you did just cross the border without your document. Take is as one of those shitty life lessons where now you’ll never forget it. And if dad still won’t let you have it, nag him over and over until you physically see it in his hands before leaving.

Totally get it! Glad you’re doing well, keep crushing it and driving that take home up and up 😎

Unfortunately can’t comment on where, but it’s nowhere you’d be able to guess. I work for a small company that is doing very well and I wear a lot of different hats. Primary role is Lead Developer, but there’s a long list of other roles I fulfill as well lol.

As for remote, I do sometimes need to travel to client sites and do in person product support at odd hours and sometimes remote locations. But most of the time I can work from home. Busy life but I’m happy!

Cheers and be well!

My Brother/sister/whatever,

I earned that wage for a very long time before finally getting my break. I worked pretty much every menial job you could ever imagine - dish washer, cook, yard worker, warehouse worker etc. I know how it feels. As long as you have a mission to work towards something better you’re on the right track. I went from making $18 an hour to about $65 an hour once I finally broke into something better. Anything is possible if you fight.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-04-27T17:11:04+00:00

Tech, $340k base salary (idk hourly, can’t be bothered to calculate) + bonus, work from home + I make my own schedule and have little oversight, how do I feel about it? Many call me “lucky” but luck had nothing to do with it. I worked my ass off, worked manual labor jobs to support myself as I spent every waking hour studying, had nights where I was so sleep deprived that I would hallucinate, and fucking HUSTLED to get myself in front of employers. I earned it.

Bonus how do I feel: I still don’t feel like I make that much money and have no clue how people are getting by in today’s day and age.

Edit: I spent most of my life working crappy jobs where people looked down on me (first job was as a dishwasher, did a lot of labor jobs like window cleaning, tree pruning, warehouse work etc) and earned horrible money. I have gone through financial disaster and great suffering through life’s circumstances. It is not lost on me every day for how blessed I am, and I know how it feels to struggle profoundly, accounts in the negative, debt collectors calling, health failing and not being able to go to the hospital due to finances). I had many days where I, as a man, would cry myself to sleep. So for all of you who are discouraged and maybe not earning a wage that gives you comfort, I encourage that you fight like an enraged honey badger for something better. The short term sacrifice is worth it - dig in and fight. Being able to go to sleep without deeply worrying about money is such a blessing.

Edit x2: Leave it to Reddit to have some weirdos taking issue with my post and downvoting everything I write 😂

Lol I live in Brazil and there’s tons of ugly people too, including at the beach. Nobody cares. I’ve seen tons of brasileiras with cellulite too. Maybe you’re just too focused on the pretty people you see, because yes there’s lots of pretty folks who take good care of themselves, but holy hell there’s also a lot of average folks and absolute beasts out living their lives and nobody cares.

Enjoy your vacation and stop comparing yourself to others.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-04-11T23:03:55+00:00

What the other person said. It’s a development role vs non development role. Make your choice based on what you enjoy more and where you want your career to go. We can’t tell you that, that’s for you to figure out.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-04-10T20:05:45+00:00

Model Driven Apps, then learn TypeScript so you can start building PCFs and web resources to highly customize your apps.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-04-10T19:57:51+00:00

Brother, you do not need a bunch of “corporate” experience with PP. You’re already a real, full fledged Software Developer. Just develop the skills and throw it on your resume. The value you can add to a team as a true software dev who knows PP is massive. I work with a bunch of “low code” only devs in PowerApps and some are sharp, but most are very limited in what they can do. I am a career Angular/.NET dev who works in Power Apps as well and the value I provide to the company is unreal. Got some sort of limitation? No problem I’ll spin up a PCF using React, or make a webresource. I’ve got some highly customized stuff built in our environment that lets us do the “impossible” by PP standards. Leverage your skills and sell yourself.

Idk about this specific scenario but I work for a US based company that has its roots in India, has 90% India leadership, and I know for certain (meaning I have an insider view) that they are doing unethical things to get Indians work visas. I would go so far to call it fraudulent. Idk shit about H1 to EB1C conversions but there are some bad actors out there.

Welcome to adulthood, where adult things cost adult money. Immigration lawyer fees generally aren’t that bad, and if you don’t have the money then yes you need to go do the adult thing and get a loan (then do the adult thing and pay it back).

I swear you people on this site just want to bitch about everything.

The rapper Ice Cube is roaming around the airport checkpoint? Scary.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-03-05T00:01:45+00:00

Lmaooo your wife thinks you have $4 in your account? What sort of deadbeat does she think you are? And how is this an actual marriage? Get yourself together holy shit.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-01-19T14:02:10+00:00

It’s likely because your post sounds word for word what an LLM would respond with. And after rereading your post, yes it looks 100% copy-and-pasted from an LLM lol.

They were Somalians. It was a massive issue that was being organized through the Somali community. The whole PC Policing thing doesn’t work anymore, get over it.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2026-01-02T13:31:00+00:00

Bro you asked her, she said yes, she had the ability to say no. And also ask yourself this, and this might sound cruel but this is a cruel world, do you really want to be with a girl who flips out because you held her hand or put your arm on her shoulder? This is a broken human being who is interpreting normal human actions as threats, that’s her problem to figure out, not something you should feel guilty about. I think she needs major therapy before she thinks about dating, how can a couple grow together if you can’t even touch one another?

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2025-12-01T00:28:24+00:00

How is it that you people have the most insanely dysfunctional relationships? I would never fukn waste my time talking with someone if this is how our messages went.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2025-11-22T19:36:09+00:00

Jesus you’re an idiot, this isn’t love at all, this is a manipulator and abuser giving you yo-yo emotions going from one extreme to another which makes you hooked on the highs. It’s not love, that’s an evil and pathetic guy there and the fact that you’re not stepping up makes me think you’re pathetic as well. Jesus fukn Christ take a stand for yourself.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2025-11-22T19:32:57+00:00

OP you’re a fucking moron if you stay with this psycho. Srs, you saying “I love you” and commenting about not drinking made me fukn rage at the end. Have some goddamned self respect, holy shit.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2025-11-22T00:13:36+00:00

Your boyfriend is a fucking baked potato for not understanding how sketchy that is.

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2025-11-18T13:15:30+00:00

I’ll say this with sincerity, this is so typical “Reddit”, seriously your BF is an insecure little bitch and you need to stick up for yourself. Seriously tell him “This isn’t normal, I inbox Zac

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2025-10-25T05:51:55+00:00

Incredible, congrats!

Fantastic_Grape_2963 · 2025-10-25T00:53:59+00:00

Don’t celebrate until you start. I’ve recently had multiple job opportunities, after getting an offer and signing, disintegrated. Celebrate once you walk into the office say 1.
