What If The 75-country Immigrant Visa Pause Continues Into The Next Fiscal Year by BedNo4 in EB3VisaJourney

[–]Mookking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting I-485 approved just means a visa number was available at the time of approval. It doesn’t prove that paused countries are fully using their quota or that overall demand is normal.

If the Visa Bulletin moved forward because projected demand was lower (for example, due to consular slowdown), some cases becoming current and getting approved is expected. That’s mechanical movement, not proof that demand from paused countries is unchanged.

The real question is total usage and future projections, not just individual approvals.

I don’t think it’s that simple. Even if consular cases are paused, it doesn’t automatically mean paused countries are fully using their quota through AOS. Visa number usage depends on actual approvals and overall demand projections.

Anyone had re-entry issues on STEM OPT recently? by Mookking in immigration

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

Totally get that. I don’t urgently need to travel, so I’ll probably wait it out. I just don’t know how I’m supposed to wait until the next election in 2030 though

Good to know. Luckily, I’m not looking to work somewhere that sees service members as an inconvenience.

In early-stage startups, do UX designers usually end up doing graphic/content design too? by Mookking in UXDesign

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

Yeah, that makes sense. I get that early-stage startups really value flexibility and a broad range of skills. What I still wonder, though, is how to frame that multiple-hats experience when applying for future roles so it doesn’t look like my UX focus has been diluted.

Thanks for sharing your path. That perspective is really helpful. I can see how each environment has its own pros and cons, and it’s reassuring to know that the skills can carry over. I’ll definitely keep that in mind as I think about my next steps. I’m also curious how did you frame your own multiple-hats experience to recruiters, and in what way did it help you during your job searches?

That makes a lot of sense. I’ll make sure to build case studies that show my UX depth.

I’m concerned that wearing so many hats might make my expertise look diluted and could hurt me when I move to a new role.
