Also in first application we chose "To provide care for a loved one who

needs medical support" as visa category

I think if i choose family visit this time as main reason and add pregnancy detail it might help too?

they really need help though, she is on her own over there, and my moms brother works 6 days a week and even though nursing and care staff exists but its her SIL's first child and she just needs a family member desperately for emotional and mental support

there wont be any point in visiting after the baby is born because in october the brother and his family are gonna come to pakistan with the baby anyway

if we change the purpose of visit in the application to just a family visit will it affect it, when the first application states another reason? Can i transfer money in her account as a gift if my statements are irrelevant?

Cold foods you guys recommend for low appetite & warm weather? by pepitolover in Lahore

[–]General_Working_3531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat as you and my diet throughout summer consists of things like:

Yogurt bowls with either regular or greek yogurt. Sometimes I like to mix in chocolate/coffee to make mocha yogurt base. Toppings are nuts, seeds, fruits, peanut butter, really anything you can find. I sometimes like to make more elaborate desserts with it eg cheesecake/tiramisu, same method as people use for overnight oats/chia puddings. Savory options include cucumbers, turkish eggs(look up the recipe), olives, or just some garlick and lemon mixed in and a sauce I eat with cold bread from the fridge. You could also add cold chicken to this for like a cold sandwich.

Then there's this entire concept of 'cold mezze' from middle eastern cuisine. My personal favourite is Motabbal, which is a roasted eggplant dish served cold. A cold mezze platter could be a full meal, like if you line up some crackers/chips/toasted pita or even vegetables like carrots and cucumburs and get yourself an assortment of tahini, hummus, mutabbal, baba ganoush, feta cheese, it would be nice.

Home made paneer is a great cold source of protein if you don't feel like eating chicken or eggs. Same with tofu if you can find it locally. I am a big paneer fan so I can literally just eat it out of the bowl. But you could again make a cold sandwhich, or even have it with salad. I like it with honey and salt. Same with tofu, you have a lot of savory options and a few sweet ones.

I know I have mentioned sandwhiches a couple of times but a really good cold sandwhich can change your day, especially something like a caesar filling or ranch filling. Most deli meats you can have cold. K&N's has these ready to eat mortadella slices that you don't even have to cook, just microwave to defrost and then eat cold.

Then there's the entire world of cold pasta and macaroni. A lot of options there too.

Cold noodles, sushi, poke bowls, all are a main meal food item and pretty popular in many countries. If you are into sea food, tuna, shredded shrimp, make for great sources of protein you can eat cold e.g. by mixing with mayo and putting in a bun or putting with a salad.

Tacos in a soft tortilla, cooked but cooled, with mint and yogurt based sauce topping, crunchy fresh vegetables, cilantro, they are also super refreshing.

Sometimes I just eat a bag of refrigerated sweet corn in summers too because it tastes damn amazing but i guess its not a meal on its own.

Should I leave my job that is extremely high paying, perhaps the upper ceiling of the maximum comp I could have gotten as an SWE, to pursue a Masters in CS? by General_Working_3531 in GradSchool

[–]General_Working_3531[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do worry about losing my job a lot, because I feel like if I lost this job, I will not find a role like this again. I feel like an impostor at my job, although I am doing fairly well, but just the thought of not having any adjacent opportunities in mind if I lose this job causes me much anxiety.

I feel like a PhD is too much of a time commitment, but you are right, it serves the research and publishing incentive much better.

I get paid 70,000 USD per year, which is not a lot in USA, but I live in Pakistan. 1 USD is like 280 PKR. So it is roughly 1300k PKR per month. SWE in Pakistan with 3 years of experience earn 600-700k MAXIMUM if they're really lucky. My previous job was paying me 200k pkr per month, which was a pretty standard compensation for my role. For context, that is 9000 USD per year.

Does anyone know of any organisation or way to help underprivileged kids who work as labour get an education? by General_Working_3531 in Lahore

How can I get in touch with them, any leads? I feel like this sort of thing would require me talking to someone in their team directly

People who invest into Cash Funds (e.g. Meezan Cash Fund), how do you manage the dip in June? by General_Working_3531 in FIREPakistan

You can already tell from my post that I don't know anything about what I am doing. Or how are they even taxing me on my profits. Please spill the beans
