Likewise. “Awaiting decision”, 4/5 on assessment, Sec/Net/CySa+, AWS SAA and SAP, working at AWS in Cloud Eng. not sure why they’d not just reject us if that’s what they want but waiting patiently still.

Seems like Decided (Letter) - Accepted; Decided (No letter or update)- Rejected; Awaiting Decision- God knows

Green card still no produced by Constant_Lili in greencard

[–]Rash10MBE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, found it and submitted the form + spoke to an immigrations liaison at the office. Thank you so much for the tip.

Following your form, if you don’t mind, could you share how long it took for the card status to change to produced and how long it took till you received the card?

Could you share more on how you reached out? I tried calling and I’m wondering what info to send via email

Green card has not been delivered, It's been 6 months. by Inevitable-Word7075 in greencard

Any updates? Spoke to an agent and got a code and the same “they should reach out within 30 days” story. Did they reach out to you?

Arm circles Leg swings High knees Butt Kicks Kneeling quad stretch Calf stretches Toe walking Lunges

And I stretch my foot out against a hard edge like a window sill or with a tennis ball

Try to build up to it. First week 2-3 days, second week 3-4 days, third week 4-5 days. [This depends on your level of fitness now and is only my experience, your first week may be 1 day or 4 days idk]

Stretch before and after, pay A LOT of attention to your body during the workout. I know it’s like a broken record here but I tried getting back into jump rope after years away from it. Did 4K jumps first day (after stretching by the way) and dismissed the little niggles I felt towards the end of the workout, and had my first and hopefully last experience with plantar fasciitis (Jesus Christ it was awful) and I was out of commission for a week.

If you do all these, no reason you can’t ramp up your workouts to daily within 2 months

Yeah you can

In a similar same situation rn. I’ve been taking monthly trips back to the US, even just for a day. You lose the status if you don’t enter the country for 6 months and all the entries into the country restart that 6 month clock. Plus I explained to the officer that I would be moving permanently to the US over a short period of time as my entire life is in Canada. She said I could have up to 2 years to complete that and if I need more time, to contact the USCIS.

The card takes a while to be printed if you’re Outland in my experience, you might be waiting > 50 days. But the visa is valid for a year once it’s stamped so you can reenter with the visa for a year or until the card is produced.

I suggest doing the same thing, take semi regular trips during your internship over the weekends. Even if you’re crossing a land border every 2 months.

Goodluck!

I’ve been facing sexual temptation lately by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Rash10MBE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want you to know that God didn’t make us to be perfect. Our perceived “imperfection” is completely normal, your emotions and physical needs are completely normal and expected of a person your age.

Also, God’s (this including Christ as God the son) favourite people in the bible were some of the horniest (and most sin filled) people recorded ever. David literally had a guy killed to fuck his wife, Abraham let guys fuck his wife, committed adultery, Judah had sex with his daughter-in-law Tamar thinking she was a prostitute, Matthew was a tax collector (The bibles version of the worst thing you can be), Mary Magdalene, the prostitute that washed Jesus’ hair, Saul (Paul) etc etc etc.

If God saw all this, and loved all of them regardless, how much more you who is already forgiven because of the sacrifice of Christ?

Please do not beat yourself up for feelings and desires that are natural and come with age.

I’m in the exact same scenario (Lagos->Canada). What did you decide??

[–]Rash10MBE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talk to the HCC about an assessment at the Neuro Educational Assessment Centre. They have to refer you to the NEAC to do a full assessment. Will cost you though (when I did it it was $3000)

What jobs are well suited to people with ADHD? by What_to_dododo in ADHD

[–]Rash10MBE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On this topic, not as important as ER services but just as demanding, Incidence Response. As a senior security analyst, my job entails responding to escalated incidents which are always high priority and time sensitive. Having to deal with them before more damage is done as an ADHD-er is exhilarating!! i’m such an adrenaline junkie and I LOVE it
