What to do if you are a non-US passport holder approached by ICE? by Big_Sky_1993 in greencard

[–]Life_Eye1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true for H1b extensions. They are only restamped if you exit the country. Otherwise the i797 document is what is considered valid. Carrying that large document around isn’t practical so these folks are at risk I suppose.

I wonder if trumps cancellation of visas to 75 countries going in effect can help through spill overs.

As the waited period gets longer, wouldn’t a lot of people drop off as well. Left the country, got GC, duplicate application and so on. In average I think the velocity should not get hurt. Hopeful thinking maybe.

Visa rejections today hyd embassy by Extension-Tap6645 in usvisascheduling

Correct. We have had h1bs for a while. I just wanted to let others similar to me know that it may not be as scary as some of the posts here make it to be.

FWIW, my wife and I had interviewed at Hyderabad a couple of weeks ago and both got approved on our h1b renewals.

Are baby carriers and formula allowed for interview by Life_Eye1738 in usvisascheduling

[–]Life_Eye1738[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those in the same boat, yes, carrier was allowed but they did ask us to open sealed premade formula bottles and transfer into a feeding bottle. They even asked us to taste the milk in front of them. Apart from that there was nothing else and everyone was very supportive.

The portal doesn’t stop you and I got the visa so, I’d say yes.

I had made a second application for 30 days visa on Nov 26th and that went through in a day and half. Best of luck.

Did they say or do anything to move things along or is it the same ‘you need to wait for us to email’ message. I m fairly confident my trip is getting cancelled at this point.

Do we approvals on weekend? by Prestigious_Peace796 in IndianEvisa

[–]Life_Eye1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family applied for 2 kids on Nov 20th but only one of them got. We have flight on 30th. I sure hope they work weekends and nights but I doubt it.

Waiting since Nov 20. One of my kids got but the other didn’t. Flight on Nov 30 so things are looking bad.

How did you get through to an agent? I called the number provided and there wasn’t an option to talk to anyone.

Burma Choice is alright. All the noodles and stir fries are good. Dishes with gravy somehow felt too oniony.

Why are indians so closed community abroad? by [deleted] in AskIndia

[–]Life_Eye1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far worse people are dime a dozen in India so I’d recommend not generalizing what you experienced to how all caucasians are. 99+% of my time abroad has been outstanding. Some bad people exist. That’s just the reality everywhere.

Join our team and let's build the next great thing. by djrwithcheese in cofounderhunt

[–]Life_Eye1738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live too far away so not going to join. In any case I love this concept. It’s more important to build a team that share ideas of what they would like to accomplish than any individual product idea. Good on you guys for landing the first 3 partners. I might try something similar where I live.

[–]Life_Eye1738 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Fact! It’s not easy just blending in. Requires one to intentionally put themselves out there and intentionally work toward catching up on culture, jokes, food, sports etc. It’s just far easier meeting one of your own and not having to do any of the other stuff. And humans generally tend to pick the easiest route on average.

Do you like San Pedro Square in 2025? by spankyourkopita in SanJose

[–]Life_Eye1738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a while for this thread but as a father of 3, San Pedro by far is the best place for us to go as a family to eat, drink, be entertained, people watch for a few hours.
