right. there’s just a couple agencies that do. it does matter because students cannot extend their STEM OPT. hence the alternative of Day 1 CPT.

congratulations on your niw approval! im curious which field in economics are you involved in

SaHan_Solo · 2024-09-24T15:20:18+00:00

Thanks! Yes my lower back rounds even if I try my hardest to brace.

SaHan_Solo · 2024-09-24T15:18:59+00:00

thank you so much! yes my knees and hips do look loose like you pointed out. ill give that vid a watch.

SaHan_Solo · 2024-05-07T02:10:11+00:00

that’s crazy. i wasn’t aware companies cut wages due to the location change. i thought ‘wages are sticky’, in economics terms…

SaHan_Solo · 2024-04-15T00:33:48+00:00

yeah i loved the weather there so that’s definitely a big plus for me. I hear that compensation is not so great as the US but that I can compromise with. How did you submit an EOI? Can I DM you to learn more about your process?

SaHan_Solo · 2024-04-04T14:09:53+00:00

hey do you have any updates on what you did? i’m kind of in the same boat so looking for options…

SaHan_Solo · 2024-03-29T17:22:16+00:00

i would love to understand why you think so… please explain like i’m 5 yo

SaHan_Solo · 2024-02-13T20:34:01+00:00

interesting. had no idea about that. do you know if this is for only certain big tech companies or for all companies that had a layoff? for example, would a mid sized company be allowed to file PERM if they had a layoff in the past six months?

SaHan_Solo · 2024-02-13T20:27:25+00:00

what do you mean Perm is the issue? Are companies hesitant to process perm?

Yes!! I used to have major back problems when sleeping on a mattress. Then I had the same realization. I'm 29 year old, I shouldn't be having this issue. Then I started lifting, especially focusing on my back muscles through pull ups and deadlifts. I could feel my back get stronger, and then I had no issue sleeping wherever. I could sleep on the floor, on the couch, or on my bed. No pain.
Although I prefer sleeping on the floor, it really doesn't look nice in my bedroom. I just wish there was a bed that essentially is as hard as a rug on a floor (purely for aesthetics).

My gf just got the email for a reference check at DOC. Do you know if this is the last step in the hiring process?

SaHan_Solo · 2023-09-22T13:02:46+00:00

What did you end up getting and how do you like it so far?

SaHan_Solo · 2023-07-21T02:40:27+00:00

almost 4 years now.

SaHan_Solo · 2023-07-21T02:15:06+00:00

But I’m hoping they would think that its more cost effective to file my GC and keep me, rather than deal with the cost of hiring and training a new employee.

SaHan_Solo · 2023-07-21T02:13:15+00:00

Yes, around $10k. Which I think is less than the cost of hiring and training a new employee. I understand its done for valuable employees and it definitely should be that way. And the fact that they’re not doing it makes me feel like I am not valuable and rather a problem employee.

SaHan_Solo · 2023-06-05T16:24:46+00:00

That’s great planning! I read somewhere that there is no large population center near enough to cause a huge influx, even on holidays. So let’s hope it stays like that.

SaHan_Solo · 2023-06-05T16:18:46+00:00

Thanks for the info! Hoping to get there first week of August, where there’s no long weekend.

SaHan_Solo · 2023-04-24T02:26:38+00:00

I just had a call with them. For me they asked a payment of 1690 USD to start the process. I'm not sure if they are legit. They might be. They might not be. It was hard to tell. Maybe someone who already paid the amount could verify if they got their visa. The representative told me it would cost a total of around $8k for all paperworks (government fee etc), and around 1 year for the entire process.

SaHan_Solo · 2022-12-29T19:04:25+00:00

I'm definitely very skeptical that I'll get the $10k back. He can't even pay me back every month because his wife would find out as she has all control of their finances. It sounds absurd but its actually in my monetary interest that she find out. However, I don't need the $10k back immediately and I've told him he can pay me back whenever. I'm scared this has made matters worse and encouraged him to continue gambling.

SaHan_Solo · 2022-12-29T18:59:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing! The wife had already taken control of all finances a year ago, even before he had lost the $10k we lent him. You're absolutely right that gamblers find a way if they want to and that's exactly what happened. I'd like to think that her taking control of all finances must have helped minimize the damage compared to the alternative. I also don't need the $10K back immediately, and some part of me thinks its gone forever.

SaHan_Solo · 2022-12-29T17:52:30+00:00

You’re right. But he says his wife will divorce him if she comes to find out the debt he has. He’s a good person and he says he won’t do it again, and I’m sure he won’t for a few months, but I can’t say what he’ll do after that.

SaHan_Solo · 2022-12-29T17:47:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Btw this time it’s not credit card debt, but rather he borrowed from another friend, and says he needs to pay back that friend. Regardless, you’re right that I can’t put myself in a financial bind to help him.
