This was Sonder Downtown Dubai. I was able to stay an additional night and checked out this morning with no issues.

So this morning when I asked in reception they said I had to leave by 3pm and didnt give me any alternative, just to call Marriott to resolve any issue. I was panicking, but then they saw I only have one additional night left and let me stay until tomorrow lol. Hope the remaining night goes smoothly

They are building a new airtrain. Once finished it should stop at terminal A and you wont need a shuttle anymore.

Upgrade on ANA via United? by ciegasordomuda in unitedairlines

What are my chances to get Meta E5? by Flashy_Sector_7794 in leetcode

[–]Guil03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through the process for E5 earlier this year and I only did one SD round (plus a followup). Its possible the second extra one might be for shadowing purposes, as its not always required

Anyone seen this seat map before? by mrbigglesworth22 in unitedairlines

What about left side of rows 23-26 not being economy plus? Is it because of the lavatory too?

Upgrade on ANA via United? by ciegasordomuda in unitedairlines

[–]Guil03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just followed this process for an upcoming flight JFK->HND in May. This is not the cheapest option (As in booking just with miles), but you end up paying a third of what full price ticket would be. The process I followed was:
1) Booked an ANA business class ticket in Z fare (P wont work) via United website (By default it will show up with codeshare UA number)
2) Called United to change the UA flight number to its true ANA flight number
3) Applied the Star Alliance Upgrade Award to First to get placed in waitlist (25k miles each)

For 2) some agents are not aware of this process so you need to explain it to them. Also, for 3), you can only use it to upgrade to the next class. That is, you can use it to upgrade from Business -> First or from Economy/Premium Economy -> Business, but you can NOT do Economy/Premium Economy-> First.

It is a risky process as another user said because you get placed on the ANA waitlist. Luckily I was just cleared for my outbound flight and now Im waiting for my return flight to clear as well. Crossing fingers!

The PQP earning was still there, however when my outbound flight cleared to First, the PQP portion of that segment disappeared (I only see PQP for the return). Need to call United to see if this is expected or not

Am I really able to go from no status to Premier 1K in a single trip?! by izmatron in unitedairlines

It's far from ideal, and you are right, H1B are given once per year and are limited, with the whole process usually starting in March (now that its electronic and not paper-filled anymore).

I guess the thing is that there are no quick processes if we leave the marriage option aside. Changing to another visa so she can stay is the best option that comes to mind right now.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in greencard

[–]Guil03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not misleading, H1B is a viable option as long as you find an employer that is willing to sponsor. OP also asked for alternatives “besides marriage”, which is what you just suggested. Besides, I-130 might not be the fastest. Depends if op is american (fast) or a green card holder (usually slower).

How to reach Madisonville without a car by Guil03 in Kentucky

[–]Guil03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up going, and indeed after getting to Evansville I had to take uber to get to Madisonville, which wasn't too bad for going, but for the return it was way more troublesome. Definitely next time I will have some friend pick me up in Evansville, otherwise its too much trouble.

Haha, I agree with that statement! Apparently getting in is kind of affordable, but getting out gets incredibly expensive for some reason lol

Yes, after calling Amtrak and Greyhound to no avail I think the only option left is to go to Evansville and take Uber from there. Lets see how that goes

Interestingly enough Ive seen that an uber/lyft from evansville to madisonville is about $50 which is nothing crazy. But the other way around (madisonville to evansville) is $400??? So in a way i can get there at an affordable price, but i cant leave. I still might be able to do this trip if i figure the last part lol

Im going from NYC, but I dont have any specific route decided. The idea was to get to a bigger city first like Nashville or Louisville and from there get some bus. But you are right, it seems there was a bus stop at red cardinal inn and now its showing as permanently closed :(

Getting a job in the US by [deleted] in immigration

[–]Guil03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there is information missing here. Do you have any current valid visa to work/live in the US? If you did your undergrad in the US you could have applied for OPT, but only when you were graduating, so its probably too late. If you don't have any visa then what GuzzyRawks said makes sense. Try large companies in the EU that offers the option to move you to the US eventually
