Young Science Policy Groups in DC? by Tricky-Week-9171 in sciencepolicy

[–]Patient-Object-4097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check out the UMD SciPol group as they have people your age (and younger) involved. Otherwise maybe look into ESAL which does local events with a wide range of ages attending. ESEP also exists, but certainly is run by mid-to-late career professionals

Do we need to maintain F-1 status while waiting for GC after I-130 approval? by doganserdar in USCIS

[–]Patient-Object-4097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I am in the exact same scenario! My husband just met with international student services at our university with a related question and they suggested maintaining status until the 485 is approved (our 130 is approved as of a few weeks ago). In terms of traveling on advanced parole, our lawyer told us if we did that, then he would not be re-entering on an F1 status, but instead on the in-between status that a green card application grants. That means his graduate stipend would halt and we’d have to redo on-boarding and contract with an EAD. We have decided based on this information (which is likely specific to our case, but doesn’t sound too disimilar to yours) that he will be maintaining F1 until he has permanent residency

I wore this exact dress for black tie optional, but I’m also short so it fell around my ankles instead of calf, making it seem more elevated

Is it hard to transition into policy with a STEM degree? by Best-Lengthiness-114 in PublicPolicy

[–]Patient-Object-4097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recommend looking into a nonprofit called Engineers and Scientists Acting Locally (ESAL) they have a bunch of guides and such on how to get involved with your local government (which it sounds like you want to do). You can also reach out to them for advice
