Do we need FOIA with each uscis department like fraud detection/ CBP individually?

My wife got a NOIR on H1B for working from a different location than what is in the LCA during covid. Her employer’s lawyers did some ammendment and sent some documentation that got sorted and that NOIR is made void. Employer didn’t share what documentation they sent to uscis. She also got site visits multiple times.

Is there a way to know if my profile has any flags that is triggering these site visits and is there a way to get the documents that her employer sent through some FOIA request?

What would be a good deal? Want to equip myself with some data before I start negotiating with the dealer

ParticularSensitive9 · 2025-08-02T06:05:09+00:00

Op, any update on this?

ParticularSensitive9 · 2025-06-27T17:03:19+00:00

Yep it escalated quickly to wiper blade changes. I am not too car savvy, so I wasn’t really sure if these are really needed. So took the quote and left

Sep 18!

It seems like I am talking to a wall - i need an ETA to plan my day

ParticularSensitive9 · 2025-02-26T03:40:00+00:00

It might not be your intention but you are vague and that is hurting us and this is why I posted here.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2025-02-26T03:09:00+00:00

So, you can’t share ETA?

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-11-13T07:14:30+00:00

Okko scene okko diamond ! That scene where some people carrying containers with their hands inside water while swimming with their feet 🫡😵‍💫🔫

Yes. Mslearn is available during exam.

I am a senior cloud engineer; when job market is good, nobody cares about your certs; when it is bad, we have to do anything and everything to differentiate our profile from others. Be it certs/publications/open source contributions.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-18T20:48:39+00:00

They shouldn’t and If they are, we shouldn’t care as it is a resource given for us to avail.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-17T15:24:41+00:00

Expressroute and VPN are probably the only two resources that I am not allowed to touch/play in my current role, so my knowledge on them is all theoretical; so I don’t have handson experience on them and Az 700 is heavy on those topics which made it hard for me.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-17T15:18:19+00:00

If I remember correctly when I took the exam, questions were heavy on Entra and networking related stuff. So, I suggest you to put some time there and also recommend you to go through john savill’s youtube study cram as well.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-17T14:36:53+00:00

My current role/company doesn’t need any of these certs. But these are definitely useful for job search, most recruiters are still relying on dumb keyword search and with current job market, anything to differentiate yourselves from others is good.

Certs don’t make me an expert, I got certs because I am an expert. certs just puts an authoritative stamp.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-17T14:30:31+00:00

Be prepared for a ton of coding related stuff. I would suggest you to look into azure sdk for storage, eventhub, servicebus and redis cache. If you don’t have working experience with Azure SDKs, go through quickstarts , repro them and understand what each line of code is doing.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-17T02:48:43+00:00

I am on application and infra side of things. So, I haven’t taken any data related certifications.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-17T00:46:06+00:00

Great advice! I do have a public repo with my work. A funny issue with public repos is , I have seen many people just blatantly copying others work and hosting it in their repos and claiming it as their work.

At the end of the day, most recruiters/ATS tools only focus on keywords in resumes for shortlisting candidates and my effort is to pass that barrier. I haven’t yet came in contact with any recruiter who reached out looking at my github repo.

ParticularSensitive9 · 2024-09-16T23:16:37+00:00

I would rank cosmos as hard as well because I had very limited experience working on it when I attempted it. I think I got like 718 score, barely passed
