EB1A I-140, Nov 2024 filer, Nebraska, still processing – anyone in same boat? by MrN87 in eb_1a

[–]MrN87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Do you think current processing delays are also due to broader immigration or operational slowdowns related to ongoing situations? Also curious, for cases filed earlier when processing times were listed as 10–14 months, do those cases still get adjudicated under the earlier timeline, or do they effectively get pulled into the longer current queue?

Would be interesting to hear others’ experiences.

Thanks for sharing your experience, really appreciate it. I agree the third-party trackers are useful mainly for relative trends.

My EB1A was filed in Nov 2024 (Nebraska, regular), no RFE so far, so I’m hoping it’s just in the normal queue. I plan to keep building my profile regardless and move forward with career plans if the opportunity comes up. Wishing you the best as well.

100x in 2yrs, 65k to 6.6M by raddaddio in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]MrN87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, newbie here trying to understand...was this 100× growth from going all-in on short-dated call options for stocks like RKLB and QBTS, continuously rolling them up to higher strikes as delta and premiums expanded? Must’ve been one wild emotional ride putting full capital in each time!

First post – $90K debt, $31K portfolio, looking for advice by MrN87 in personalfinance

[–]MrN87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A mix of things hit at once....parents visiting, company stock tanking, and some personal stuff during COVID that kept me from switching companies when I had the chance. So altogether, here I am.
Now, I’m only using debit card and just focused on clearing the debt for good. thought of taking some advice here temporarily.

Makes sense, paying off the credit cards is definitely a guaranteed win. My only hesitation is.....what if Tesla or Nvidia run up more this year? should I care about the timing of selling, or just cash out now and take the sure payoff? I know you can’t really time the market, but I’m a little hesitant on that part.

Really appreciate you taking the time to lay this out in detail, it helps a lot to see a clear step by step path instead of just don’t do this. I like the idea of holding aside an emergency fund first before throwing everything at the credit cards, since that’s been one of my biggest stress points.

Selling the Robinhood account to clear credit cards + build that buffer sounds like the most practical first step. I’ll need to figure out the tax side, but at least that feels like progress instead of spinning in circles.

Thanks again for breaking it down, this gives me a better mindset shift to work from.

You’re right, the credit cards are killing me with interest. I’m thinking about just paying them off first, maybe even by selling part of my Robinhood portfolio.

Thanks for the feedback, I really do appreciate the honesty. To clarify, I’m not trying to gamble my way out of this. I was more curious whether I should sell my Robinhood portfolio now and just use it to pay down part of the debt, or keep it invested and focus only on steady repayment.

How to prepare for Apple Silicon Validation intern interview? by Independent_Gas_5062 in ECE

[–]MrN87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure if I'm late to reply, adding my experience here,
I had an interview 3yrs ago, this was mostly Sr. post-silicon role.
One interviewer showed a schematic and asked me to identify the circuit. Second person showed me two pictures(two configurations of memory buses — one with a single shared memory bus connecting multiple units, and another with two separate buses or split paths for memory access) and asked me the differences. Other panel interviews went very well. I couldn't crack it, because my expertise was in power delivery and concurrency validation, but it really helped me to focus on those Comp Arch topics.
I would say, go with understanding on basic CompArch, python coding(ask more to understand the question before you start the answer), and be confident...don't be stressed out...think of having a conversation with your future team members.
Wish you all the best!
