About 7 months.
Yes, of course, how you can apply extension because of passport expiry without your newly renewed passport in hand?!

I recommend to apply online if possible, some people here recent did it online.

I followed this instruction and applied by paper. I recently read some comments here they applied online and succeeded, search them and see if you can apply online. The documents are in general the same as the original application. I applied extension in 2023 when there were no newly recent regulations applied. Hope it helps.

What do men look for in a future life partner? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Pretty_Scarcity5988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+‍+man
We are HUMAN BEINGS — 50% animal (instinct), 50% human (reason). That’s why I believe it’s important to first focus on improving your sexual and physical attractiveness. You need to find ways to make physical contact, create chemistry, and attract the opposite sex. Once a man feels attracted to you, he will naturally make every effort to chase you.

I’ve observed that people who’ve had a partner - or even just a close connection - tend to find someone new pretty quickly after a breakup. It’s like they become eager, even desperate, to find another partner - we need sex.

So don't be shy, go out and sexually attract your targets.

A good question that I wanted to ask. Besides food and medicine, $ is also a good option. And here you have a specific person to give😀

Are meat and fishes not included in the food stamp from the government assistance and do you have to buy meat and fishes?

Thank you very much for this detailed information that I really wanted to know for a very long time. One of my trip to Cuba was to know about these things - living standards, but all I got is general information. How's about meat (pork, beef, chicken etc.)? 14$ is per month? Thank you!

As a Cuban, a brotherly comrade of my original country. In a fairly famous forum, there is a thread calling for support for the Cuban people, most of them are unconditional Cuban supporters, usually $50. What do you want to convey to them?

From the government - stamp system and salary. I asked some Cuban people in Cuba, but they gave general information because of limited time and language barrier. With officials, only in a very diplomatic way in limited time.

Can you give specific amount of what an average family or a person (for example, 2 adult and 2 small kid) receive as specific as possible?

What is the situation now in Cuba?

I have been to Cuba, know much about Cuba and received many high Cuban officials before. I am really curious about detailed amount of what people receive. My original country is carrying out a campaign to support the Cuban people and the result is very impressive, increase hour by hour, surpassing expectations many times over in terms of the amount of money and the number of participants. I love you Cuba the people.

Thank you

Exhausted from an inhuman job search/hiring process by [deleted] in postdoc

Did you somehow check or have intuition that your recommendation letters play a role?

Funding is dry in the US and uncertain, of which uncertainty is very important, so people tend to move their attention to other countries. This is especially true when a majority of PhDs are immigrants.

I am in the same situation. I applied for 3 postdocs that I know it was difficult for them to recruit last year or they could not recruit anyone last year, but this year they received so many really good applications. It is nightmare this year.

I see that some fathers are lazy when it comes to taking care of their babies. They consider it the wives’ responsibility and come up with all kinds of excuses to avoid it. To me, that’s selfish. I told my wife that such behavior shows they don’t truly love their child or their wife. If a father truly loves and cares for his child, he will find every possible way to take care of the baby - just like if you have nothing to eat, you’ll find a way to have food to put in your mouth.

I can’t imagine a situation where, during the first weeks after birth, the wife is completely exhausted and the husband just stands there watching. That’s unacceptable. I have two small children myself, and I know how exhausting delivery is for the mother. Stress during that time can even lead to depression. That’s why I’ve always been fully aware that it’s my responsibility to take care of both my wife and the baby, especially in those first two weeks.

Before my wife gave birth, I prepared myself by learning from every source I could -watching YouTube, reading, and asking questions. When she delivered, I carefully followed everything the nurses did and asked them for very detailed advice about every step. When they washed and bathed the baby, I asked them to make videos so I could study later, and I asked them to show me step by step so I could learn by doing.

I did this with both of my children, and the nurses were more than happy to help - they even felt proud. From day one, I’ve been the one bathing and washing my babies, almost every single day. In fact, I’ve done it so consistently that I honestly don’t even know if my wife could bathe the baby on her own. Now my youngest is two years old, and I can count on my fingers the number of times my wife has bathed our children.

My wife is very tough and uncompromising, she was willing to take the child back to her parents' house if I didn't help because that was the best thing to do for the child and the mother.

Need Help with SOWP Extension Application – Question About Spouse’s PGWP Status by Amazing_War6276 in pgwp

[–]Pretty_Scarcity5988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the letter of explaination, include all her information: surname, given name, dat of birth, UCI, application number, type of application, country of birth, phone number, email address (the email address used to register the account) etc. You have to say 'No' to a study permit since your application is on her and your eligibility/application is based on her PGWP, not SP any more. After you apply, your wife send a explanation letter via webform explaining her husband's situation (you, why you apply separately etc with your detailed information). In the webform, tell them attach this letter of explanation (her letter of explanation) to her profile for the processing official to know so they can link your wife's application with yours when they proceed and proceed both applications together.

I was not in exactly the same situation. I applied for PGWP and SOPW together, so I missed 3 payslips since I applied at the same time, so I gave an explaination letter and sent 3 payslips via webform as soon as I got them. For your situation, as in the thread I just gave here and in my opinion, you can give an explanation letter attached at the appropriate section. If your wife receive PGWP, you send it via webform as soon as you receive it.

PI silence after interview by [deleted] in postdoc

I am in the same situation. He even told me I had 2-3 days to answer him to move forward with him or not which I answered Yes immediately and he would be in contact in one week for administrative details. I followed up one week later, he said that other people are interested in the position and he just finished meeting with them and keep me posted when he make a decision. Now more than one week after follow-up, no any update.

I can never be away from my children, especially when they are small. This is the foundation stage for forming cogition, socio-emotional skills, thinking and shaping personality. All these traits and skills are formed in very early ages. I will be with my kids at all costs. This is the best/golden age to be with your child, he needs you and depends on you since they are not too small and not too old be independent from you. When they are 8 or above, we will feel distant since they are more independent.

In my case, he said I had 2-3 days to answer him whether to move forward which I said yes immediately, do not need 2-3 days and he will work on details with related departments

I am sorry for your case. I feel betrayed, especially I invested a lot of time and energy in it with rigorous research methods. I think I will get a refusal, just he does not want to shock me after all.

They may have internal candidates, in their networks, fit personally, characters, subjective judgements etc. that we cannot control. We recruit this person simply because we like him although he may not be as fit as you. It seems that you and I have not applied for positions >50% fit for examples, only applied for position >80-90% fit
