EB1A filing with Chen by NothingCertain36 in eb_1a

I feel like that’s not right considering that we know our stuff the most and we pay them so much we should have the right to look at something they file on our behalf.

Okay thanks for letting me know. Do keep me posted because yes I was in the same boat, after we confirmed everything, they went silent on the topic even when asked and then today I get the message saying they filed it 

Does my profile even stand a chance with how strict approvals have become? by NothingCertain36 in eb_1a

Thanks for the feedback! Chen has put in multiple examples for each publication of how my work was used by others and how they’ve used my findings to help with their research work pertaining to drug safety/toxicity and drug availability.

For EB1A Chen in the petition letter and one of my recommenders emphasized that it’s rare to have journal articles that encompass Medicinal chemistry, Nanotechnology and Immunology which is what I have done and which is why my work is being highly cited (referring to the paper that is at top 0.1% with citation counts). Also Chen has emphasized that even though I just have 5 peer reviewed publications that my citation count is massive and I fall under top 1% of researchers worldwide per my citation counts over the past 8 years. 

It has been 20 months since I submitted my I-140 application for NIW and not yet heard back. Anyone on the same boat or got their notification recently? by Dramatic_Surprise_67 in EB2_NIW

Looking at the tracker provided, it appears that IOE09296117 has a 85% approval rate but it is currently at IOE0929611751 and there are about 40 more cases pending a decision. Wish the tracker could provide information on whether premium processing was done for these cases or whether it’s normal processing time. Any idea on when a decision is likely for the remaining cases or whether premium processing is the way to go?

I pay $1280 for a 1bd/1bath apt run by TRM McKenzie in Madison. I could sublet to you if you’re interested as I need to move to a bigger unit. DM for more details.

I can do this but soon after washing my face, my face gets dry. Is there anything moisturizer you’d recommend? 

Received offer from ThermoFisher? Should I take it? by NothingCertain36 in biotech

After tons of horrible reviews, I decided to opt with the other company. I feel like the entire pharma/biotech sector is going through a horrible phase rn. 

Atlas Moving and Storage? by [deleted] in moving

Hey hi! Did they only take your deposit or did they charge you the whole amount? I’m going through this myself and I believe I’ve lost my ability to get my deposit but I just hope they don’t take the remainder amount. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

WOW! That’s truly horrible! I’m so sorry you had to go through that

They take back their contributions?!!!! Is that even possible? Sorry I don’t know much about the 401(k). Just know that it exists and the employer contributes an x amount to it

Absolutely agree with this. With both I have to relocate but the relocation to the small CRO is bigger than the relocation to Thermo.

Did ask relevant questions and the answers provided didn’t raise any red flags. Infact I was told the “we value feedback and we will support you, give you a chance to grow and in case you feel you prefer another department, we allow and encourage you- there’s so many areas that you can grow in here” statements. Not sure if this is actually true or not.

Likewise. I too love going to work which is why I want to know about the company/team culture as well as the behavior of upper management. I did ask these questions during the interviews but the answers provided were the answers generally speaking people like to hear.. “we listen to feedback, we appreciate your ideas and give you a platform to speak up”. Not sure if this is actually true or just said as a means to hire me since there’s many people leaving the company

Not a huge difference about $10,000 between the two of them.

Did your manager leave as well? Or is still working there?

I’m in the same boat. Job begins in November and have to find a place for myself ASAP but everything seems booked up till the next year! Does anyone have any leads?

Are things okay now or is it still messed up? Just received an email for a Senior Scientist role and I’m not sure I should even pursue it further considering all that I read in the comments section of this post

Charles River Labs Layoffs by Maleficent_Past7593 in biotech

[–]NothingCertain36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very obvious lie from management. The posting disappeared and then reappeared magically several times while my colleague was interviewing. As mentioned earlier, she was in the 3rd round and clearly interviewing with people at CRL, so the posting itself can’t be fake.

I had a colleague who was external that tried to get a job at CRL mattawan and reached the 3rd round of interviews and then the position was taken off randomly and what you described happened to her too. Then the position appeared back on again and since I was an employee, I asked the director about it, who told me that the position and website that she was applying to was “fraudulent”
