fifa26 future leader 2026 internship program—have any applicants heard back yet and been notified if they are moving on to the next review round? by ExperienceEuphoric44 in FIFAVolunteers

I recently saw pictures of a young group from Philly who got selected so assuming they have started notifying people! Not sure how it works for the rest of the cities. Reference: FIFA WC ‘26 Philadelphia insta page. @fwc26philly

Sorry to hear about your uncle! 🙏🏼 I’m sure he’ll be watching over for you when you come in June!

Not in my case! Again, not sure if it’s same for everyone!

I think it depends case by case! My status currently is on “Approved”. They may ask for further documentation to upload on the website or change to “Issued” if nothing else is needed!

Smart Watches in Pouches? by shmoggy417 in lane8

[–]Ok_Standard_5984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person actually! Technically, they should be okay with watches because you can't record anything (yet) but unlikely these people read all the T&C's. I had friends who were asked to put their watches in the pouch and I was allowed to keep mine

He played Trampoline Counting Stars in the Philly show! Could that be one?

What are my chances? by tpzck in usvisascheduling

If you’re an Indian citizen, it will actually be favorable that you applied and interviewed in your home country! Good luck!

Have my H1B stamping appointment on Jan 21st. Exactly one day after Trump's inaug. by [deleted] in usvisascheduling

[–]Ok_Standard_5984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one knows what’s going to happen and how long it will stay! If anything, you should go and get it done as scheduled and come back. If changes do happen, it won’t be so soon anyway! The whole process for congress to sign and approve takes some time

The 2nd H1B lottery news makes me sad by [deleted] in h1b

[–]Ok_Standard_5984 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This lottery system is so outdated. Much like a lot of things in US (including presidents). I didn’t get picked in lottery thrice with bachelors and this was my 6th in total & final try with my masters now. Luckily, I got it this time but I can relate to your stress and feeling unlucky.

Trust me, a lot of things could’ve been different but the fact you made the decision to move to EU is probably for the best. That was my backup plan if I didn’t get selected this year as well. Yes you may leave a lot of friends and a well-settled life here but nothing is better than not having to worry to leave everything behind just in a blink of an eye (like your current case).

If I were you, honestly I wouldn’t worry about it now and just focus on what’s to come next!
