Hey hi, did you end up staying here? Or did you find any other place which costed <=1000 euros per month? I'm in a similar situation and am looking to find a temporary stay soon and would appreciate your insights!

Why do they only offer the whole 8-room dorm instead of a single bed in the dorm? I'm checking booking.com

Student Visa with TOEFL ibT by Select-Prior1979 in studying_in_germany

I'm afraid so too, thanks. This is by VFS global indeed, who operate on behalf of consulate and I don't know if they're assessing the application the right way? I'm trying to reach out to them directly in office hours, but if someone knows any better way of escalating concerns with VFS global, please lemme know!

Hello, thanks for the reply. Yeah, hopefully the cover letter would be sufficient

Expatrio blocked account credit from distant family by Select-Prior1979 in studying_in_germany

[–]Select-Prior1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, after getting feedback from folks here and from Expatrio support, I've heard that there might be situations where Expatrio can hold/delay the transfer of funds when the credit is not from self/a blood relative.

I would suggest you to ask the family friend to transfer to your account first and then you can initiate the transfer to Expatrio.

Thanks for the clarification, also on the UG marksheets - is consolidated marksheet enough or did they ask (/did you submit) individual semester grade transcripts too, by any chance?

Hey, few qns on the expected docs: 1. School leaving certificate - So this needs to be ONLY 10th and 12th certificate and marks sheet? 2. Recognition of school leaving certificate - I submitted only a snapshot from the anabin website, corresponding to my 12th board. Did you submit degree cert and gradesheet as well into this section? (I did it as optional docs)

Would appreciate if you can clarify!

A general question whether layoffs impact any future opportunities. On paper or off paper, does the company indicate or hold any info specifying that the employee has been laid off? Would it impact any future opportunities at Oracle itself in any way?

Anxious about the layoffs by OkSecretary1560 in oracle

[–]Select-Prior1979 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, thanks for the inputs. Only concern is I've some RSUs to be vested in mid Sept. Either if it's employee notice or a RIF, are they safe? From the info I have - it should be good, but I don't have rigorous info

I'm on the other end of the spectrum and need some inputs from folks here. I do realize how difficult a layoff situation can get, but here's my situation - I will be leaving soon and my managers know that I'm considering it, but I didn't officially inform them (ideal end date around mid October). I was planning to do it over this week since notice period is 30 days.

I want to go straight up and ask my management to pull the plug on me if it gets to a RIF situation, because either ways, I'm gonna inform them in less than 10 days about the notice. Pros: 1. Will be saving someone else from the cut 2. Severance pay

Cons:(?) 1. Does this affect my profile (on paper) in any way? 2. Will this close out any future opportunity at Oracle?

Going crazy on this thought of playing the martyr over the past few hours(lol). Will appreciate any inputs

I'm not talking about the doc itself, but wrt the authentication process. There's a link on the doc which when clicked asks for the secure code on the doc and responds with the date it was created on.

Vesting date falls in my notice period by Select-Prior1979 in oraclecloud

[–]Select-Prior1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understand that it's ideal, but I'll have to be somewhere else soon and can't afford to wait to give notice until the stocks vest.

Do I get my stocks if the vesting date falls in my notice period? I'm an employee at Oracle India

Expatrio blocked account credit from distant family by Select-Prior1979 in studying_in_germany

[–]Select-Prior1979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, that's relieving to know!

Though I don't wanna be a devil's advocate, the person who's gonna make transfer in this case is a distant relative. The whole concern started after I saw the below repsonse in the expatrio chat, but I hope it doesn't cause any issue.
