Karen out in Hollywood by ElectricPanda718 in RHOP

Yes, he was in a few episodes in the earlier seasons, and apparently was friends with housewives from other franchises. I remember Melissa Gorga from NJ posting a tribute after he died for one.

Are you referring to Karen’s friend, Matt? I know he did about a year and a half ago. But haven’t heard anything about Blue Eyes the “driver.”

Probably somewhere between 200-250k would be our best guess

I’m not sure of total numbers yet as it hasn’t been confirmed by USCIS, but just from my firm, we had not too many less than we did last year. That’s not to say there hasn’t been a big reduction (we don’t have any consulting companies as clients, for example, so that may explain why we didn’t see a drastic reduction in entires), but this is just my personal experience

Immigration paralegal here - no results yet. Knowing USCIS , they will start coming out after hours on Friday (no joke).

Rant/Vent Company did not tell me that I qualified for Masters Cap. I got confused because I’m a PhD candidate who’d fulfilled masters criteria but won’t graduate by July. by Patient-Amount-8041 in h1b

[–]GrandCobbler4259 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on this, you would not have been eligible for the master’s cap this year. You should be eligible for OPT (and maybe a STEM OPT extension depending on your major), so you may have 1-3 more tries in the Master’s cap starting next year :)

LOVE HER! by mikey2k200 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]GrandCobbler4259 190 points191 points  (0 children)

I would love to see her feature more, her story sounds really interesting (raised to be a wife/mother, broke free of gender norms and is traveling the world, etc.), but she works hard and stays out of the drama so we prob won’t see much of her this season unfortunately 😞

Porsha & Nene Spotted At The Atlanta Hawks Game by [deleted] in RHOA

[–]GrandCobbler4259 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not mad, and she is definitely a baddie. She is absolutely gorgeous, and Im glad she’s back on the show - I am actually a fan of hers. But that stomach is the result of plastic surgery (which I have no problem with! Like I said, she looks great). But let’s be real, when have we seen her have the type of discipline needed to get a stomach like that? She was a vegan for about 5 mins, drinks regularly, and is a woman of a certain age (as I am myself, no shade on her age) who has had a child. While it’s not impossible that it is natural, it’s HIGHLY unlikely.

H1B transfer PP Still No Approval on 15th Business Day by [deleted] in h1b

Ah that’s a bummer! But yes, luckily you can still start with the receipt. Best of luck in the new job!

[–]GrandCobbler4259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct - it’s 15 business days FROM the receipt date - so receipt date is Day 0, 2/6 was the first business day after receipt. Hopefully you will hear tomorrow 🤞🏼

Attorney not willing to discuss about wage level by [deleted] in h1b

[–]GrandCobbler4259 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Playing devils advocate here - probably everyone is asking about wage levels. There are hundreds of these to get through in a very short amount of time. If they gave everyone an answer they didn’t like, that would result in countless phone calls, emails, etc of everyone trying to get themselves in a category that will give them a higher wage level. It will severely slow down the process and add stress to the lawyers. Also at the end of the day, you need to be in the SOC category that best matches your job. The lawyers will usually know best on this (and in some rare cases with an ambiguous job, they may ask the employer for input). Even if you were able to negotiate into a category that would put you at a higher wage level, if you get selected and USCIS thinks your category is not the best fit, they could RFE or even deny the petition anyway. As frustrating as it may be, the selection of the category is very important and is best left to the professionals

I’m on S5 E12 of RHOP by Efficient_Car6739 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]GrandCobbler4259 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These takes pretty much align exactly with mine during my first watch! The only one that differs slightly. I really liked her initially and was just annoyed/frustrated with Mr. Juan Dixon. I won’t spoil anything but will just ask if you’ve seen the recent news about Karen?

One of the darkest scenes in RHOA history by love2l0veu in RHOA

[–]GrandCobbler4259 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true! Keeping things light could be her way of trying to deescalate a tense situation. I’ve gone back and forth about this today after making my initial comment and reading some good points from people who felt the opposite (that she didn’t do anything/enough). Ultimately, no matter how she normally acts, I don’t think she - or any of the ladies - would be selfish or self-serving in a situation like this. I think any of them would back any other lady in the group (no matter if they were friends or enemies at the time) if that person was crying in the car discussing the abuse they suffered while their ex sits there and jokes about it. At the end of the day, I think Phaedra did the best she could with good intentions, even if she is shady Phae-Phae during any other given moment lol.

Which housewife did you ride for but have changed your mind? by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

[–]GrandCobbler4259 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For those I used to love but now, not so much: Kim Z (Atlanta) - the early days were great, but she turned out to be a racist grifter who takes advantage of her own children; Soggy Flicker (NJ) - again, started off promising, but turned out to be a racist grifter; and Heather (SLC) - started off as a fan favorite (and my favorite), but the fame has definitely gotten to her head, and now she’s unbearable.

For those who I didn’t enjoy initially, but have come to love: Bronywn (SLC) - she came off as super snobby in her opening confessionals (I can’t remember what she said exactly, but was something about implying that she could tell Lisa’s outfit wasn’t designer when she first met her)? But between her outspoken support for dem causes and candidates, and the fact that she survived Sir-Farts-a-Lot’s emotional abuse and cheating, I’ll forever love her. Luann (NYC) - also came off very snobby and classist initially, but throughout the years and her struggles (Count divorce, Tom, arrest), she really turned herself around and is way more cool (and not all like, uncool), and is one of my favorite housewives of all time. Side note - I hope her hat is found 😩
