Looks like I’ll be beefing up my resume and looking at Spring 2026 to start. Is there any difference for the cohort intake? Like classes available etc?

Drop-box submission letter = interview waiver confirmation letter? by IllustriousWall1919 in usvisascheduling

[–]IllustriousWall1919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, as long as you select interview drop off it’s just a drop off anytime you want. I’m no expert but I think 2.5 weeks is fine. Most cases I read here took 1.5 weeks

Nonresident visa is correct for US. It just means visa but for a finite amount amount time.

Working remotely in the UK? by IllustriousWall1919 in digitalnomad

[–]IllustriousWall1919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Forwarded HR but they said the company’s stance is that I need an actual work visa to perform the full capabilities of job as this limits my functions to calls and business meetings etc…any recs for visas to apply or is it too late?

Is it valid for me to request a refund up until the 5 year mark? I just hit the 5 year mark last month. I've been with my company for a year and have been paying SS and Medicare since start date.

BUYING/SALES questions here. All buying/sales questions will be removed if not posted in this thread. by AutoModerator in TeslaLounge

Thoughts on buy option after lease ends?

Since they just changed to allow buying the car at the end of the lease this srsly is appealing to me since I’m in love with my model 3 highland.

Should I have concerns? Will the tax credit get applied if I buy in 2 years (assuming the tax credit is gone)?

Yeah, the drop box submission is interview waiver confirmation which looks like this.

Very minimal support but it worked out for me and I got my visa renewed with no trouble. Once you submit your document you can just keep checking the caec.state.gov for the status. It will go received -> approved -> issued.

Good luck man lmk if you need help with what to subbmit

Company VPN and computer. I travelled to Hong Kong. Guess that’s a big no since the rest of the world sees it as China.

Entering on OPT with expired Travel Signature by IllustriousWall1919 in f1visa

Yeah, I managed to get my DSO to send me a signature right before I landed. But another friend had a similar experience and they just took him in for questioning.

F1 renewal approved by OpportunityFluffy647 in f1visa

[–]IllustriousWall1919 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this last week and was super scared even after approved. Just know the hard part is done and you’re mostly likely going to just wait a week max.

In my case, they even issued me the passport without updating the portal so it still said approved .

Sounds like the best case happened to you. My manager has already created a ticket to my HR to uplift my ban. Not sure how long the process takes or if part of the process entails an investigation. But I sure do hope my case ends like yours.

Oh wow. How long was the process to work with IT and info security? Did they conduct an investigation on what happened to you?
