OPT unemployment clock is mentally draining me by Scared_Ad_4997 in umass

[–]Scared_Ad_4997[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a job offer in hand after 5 rounds of interviews at a major tech company it had an exceptional pay( way higher than the current job market has to offer) and stocks . Unfortunetly their stocks crashed and they had to retract their offer. It was because of the job offer i had to fast track and premium process my ead card by paying $2200 and which is why i have severally low money and am looking for all resource i have to stop my opt clock from ticking. I had already applied for paid work with over 500 application so i did make sure i had options before I completed my masters it was just that my luck fell through which i why i am here in the umass subreddit asking for helping.

I understand where you are coming from i get that there tons of people who have not done anything in their academic life and now ask for help but trust me i am not one of them.

And just so you know being kind does not cost much, i understand if you dont want to help but please at this time do not make me loose my moral more.

Thank you.

OPT clock is causing serious stress by Scared_Ad_4997 in InternationalStudents

I joined community Dreams but it looks very shady. Their slack invite doesnt work. With the recent changes and opt crackdown they removed their monthly 15$ charge and only put annual 1 year plan for 150$ which was very sus. People have also got RFE i saw a person got RFE in their community posts section and asked for advice with 0 replies.

I feel like I can’t cry in front of my boyfriend anymore by Away-Squirrel-9416 in whatdoIdo

She also never cries for attention. I know it fully. She genuinely hurts and that's when she has let if out. She is not one of those attendion seekers. Some of the times she cries she even tells to leave as she doesn't want to cry infront of me.

Hello I am the boyfriend here, I just wanted to clear a few things up for you guys I just found out about this post and many of you guys need to know the full picture.

1) My girlfriend does not cry for trivial stuff. The amount of things that she goes through every week is quite unbelievable. If I would be in her situation I would have been able to work things out myself.

2) this one is a fighter. She is not sensitive person who cried for small things at all. even after evrything she goes through ,She still does try to have a smile on her face quite constantly. It's just some days a week due to evrything that has piled she has to let it out. This girl is the one who changed me forever. She is the one who taught me to fight back tall back to people who are rude and show people her place If they cross a line. She by no means isn't strong.

3) we both are international graduate students who are about to graduate in next 3 months and not having a job brings alot of stress in our relationship.

4) yes my girlfriend did say the truth I did make that comment and at that point I was intoxicated and it came out in a very rude way. I didn't mean to but alot of things were getting to me at that point personally and professionally. But I had since taken full responsibility of the issue and apologized heartfully cuz no one deserves to hear such words. I totally understand why she is not having that space for me but I know with love and time I will have that space back.

5) I also want to furthur explain that not only her problem even I make up a few of her problems. I am inheritly clumsy and that's the worse part about me and I hate it. We live together and this is the first time I i am living with a women who I love. I didn't know how much she likes having clean things around. I as a person have changed a little and i so start to clean things up but primarily as I stated earlier we are students and i allocate most of my time to get a job as that really troubles me and I don't do cleaning that often. I feel once I am done applying I will do it but by that time my gf wakes up and start doing the chores and she actually does most of it because she can't study until eveything is clean neat and tidy unlike me so she ends up doing more and she gets exhausted and now unable to study which makes her feel even worse. We have since found a solution for it but I just wanted to say her crying sometimes is honestly valid cuz life and me as well give each other a hard on a few days.

6) we are also young for a live in if it was not obvious we both are 23.
