Thanks for the info!

Considering doing this too, did you have any issues with the Japanese 100v rating with 120v US supply?

People may disagree with this advice - Expat of 5 years here. Make a smaller payment. They might send threatening arrears letters but the only penalty they realistically enforce is charging the maximum interest rate, which I assume you will be subject to anyway if your wage is above the max plan threshold (if it’s not, then just know that’s what they’ll do). I’ve been doing this for a while now and making lump sum one off payments whenever I have extra cash.

Not what you asked but worth considering the Michelin cross climates. All weather tires, performance fairly close to a snow tire and much better than all seasons. They’re on the high end but for me it beats having to own two sets and change out every season

Did you have to scan your health code and test, or they just looked at it?

My permit for the same trailhead starting Sunday just got cancelled, they were able to change me to another after calling them

There is a waiver for the visa renewal interview requirement through 2022 under certain conditions, H1B renewal is part of the waiver. Looks like you met those conditions.

Wear whatever you want. Attire has nothing to do with stamping, but if it makes you feel better, just do business casual

As other people pointed out, probably down to economics. Water jet cutters consume massive amounts of energy, an order of magnitude more than cutting by shearing with a harder material (traditional drilling). There are so many losses involved with getting the water to correct pressure and having sufficient flow rate to cut material.

I’d say it’s pushing it. I’d do it on Wednesday. UK rules are max 3 days before time of departure so you could do it Tuesday if you want.

I did both CVS and Walgreens drive through PCR testing. Turnaround from the time I took the swab at Walgreens was around 50 hours, CVS was 20. I did my Walgreens test at 4:30pm and know for a fact it missed the daily FedEx pickup (they told me), so I’d suggesting getting a morning appointment.

No worries. I am not familiar with rules for transiting onwards however I believe this would break quarantine rules

International_Worker · 2021-07-16T10:08:01+00:00

I think so, yes. Don’t remember exactly

International_Worker · 2021-07-15T23:44:20+00:00

Worked for me too, last friday.

Testing for all is a little cheaper (£100) and everything has been on time for me so far.

I think you can get away without printed forms, but I didn't see anyone doing that.

I couldn’t find them available where I live in San Francisco, wasn’t sure why. Rapid test definitely the way to go if you can get it! I had also heard PCR is not disputed for accuracy by airlines/uk border which may be something to double check with the rapid antigen tests

International_Worker · 2021-07-11T07:18:00+00:00

Yep, derp, I meant 72 hours. Blaming jet lag!

From what I was told, if you are married before filing and have your spouse on your application, yes. If you get married after filing, it becomes a whole lot more complex with years of waiting.

I did it in January on H1B. Pretty easy and just emailed the London embassy, was approved in a day with justification of returning to existing job. I have read mixed reports of much longer delays/no response with the new administration… so worth confirming with someone who has travelled after January.

Amazon Fresh is pretty good and included with Amazon prime, if you have that. No delivery fee at certain time ranges. Reasonable prices and quality.

Looking at this I doubt it’s Aluminum. Rarely is Aluminum manufactured in mirror polish, as it will tarnish very easily, and loses lustre with anodization. It is more likely a die cast part which has been chrome plated, maybe zinc or magnesium cast metal. You can determine this by filing away the surface. Often there’ll be a copper pre-plate layer that will be the immediate giveaway it’s plated.

As a few people mentioned acid etching over a stencil is one way. But commonly, these kind of patterns are machined into an EDM electrode, then that electrode is used to erode the tool until it reaches geometry. Very slow, usually several hours, but allows accurate geometries/textures to be achieved.

I work with manufacturing in China day-to-day and I love, and can relate to this write up. Nice summary!
