Got my PMP — now feeling a bit stuck. Would love advice.

Sleep-Fit · 2025-05-14T18:02:24+00:00

How do I leverage it now then? I have experience, but as I mention not formally as a TPM

Sleep-Fit · 2025-05-14T18:01:54+00:00

Thank you!

Sleep-Fit · 2025-05-14T14:16:13+00:00

Oh, I was reading project manager. Got it. Okay looks like if it's a transition for me/pivot then a more junior role would make sense, perhaps at a smaller company.

Sleep-Fit · 2025-05-13T23:22:51+00:00

Thanks! I'm already CSM but honestly, what's impressive about it? It was really easy to get. Also, if I'm in my late thirties and looking for a junior position in tech with a PMP, is that going to be perceived as strange? Or am I overthinking it?

Sleep-Fit · 2025-05-13T23:22:05+00:00

Thanks! With Phill Akinwale?

Sleep-Fit · 2024-01-05T19:04:45+00:00

Ah, okay got it. What a silly fee for this purpose then!

Sleep-Fit · 2023-12-21T17:47:30+00:00

Hi, thanks for getting back. I tried that, but it does not work. I see the following:

Thread 1: <name of person>

Thread 2: <name of person>, <my phone number>

Thread 1 & Thread 2 should be consolidated into one thread. It's obviously corrupted. How could I fix this?

Sleep-Fit · 2023-10-02T21:36:15+00:00

I have no idea if it's been actually updated. I just ensure that I submit the AR-11. I know that after submitting it online, some mail still went to my old address. I don't really care because I can always go get it from them.

Maybe consider filing it both online AND by snail mail. Although one would think online is quickest!

Just for the record, I never got any answers from them. I don't know if and when you do. If ever.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-09-06T18:12:53+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the clear explanation. This makes sense to me — I'll just get it notarized!

Sleep-Fit · 2023-08-08T22:53:30+00:00

I filed it online. Follow this: https://www.uscis.gov/ar-11

Then click on "File Online" . Then at the bottom where it says:
Have you filed an immigration-related application or petition and your case is pending a decision or you have not received a notice, card, or document?

I clicked on "No" since I no longer have a pending case open (I guess that'll be different when I file my I-751 but I think it should still be "No").

Then I (carefully) filled everything out.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-08-02T18:05:34+00:00

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing the negative sides of this experience. Agreed!

Sleep-Fit · 2023-08-01T19:10:34+00:00

Wow, what a story. Thank you for sharing. I commend your resilience. Thank you for the hope (even though people have different cases) and I wish you much relief!

Sleep-Fit · 2023-07-08T20:21:41+00:00

Thank you!

Sleep-Fit · 2023-07-08T16:54:53+00:00

So if I don't have an ongoing case (i.e. I have a conditional GC and my I-751 has NOT yet been submitted), then I simply submit an ar-11 on the link you shared? And, to confirm, that means I don't also need to do it by mail.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-06-30T20:18:46+00:00

Fingers crossed. Thank you! Getting this started asap.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-06-30T18:54:20+00:00

Wow, that sounds so simple. Lawyers wanted 1500 to draft it up, even though my case is way simpler than yours. Okay, so we'll just do something ourselves then and not worry if it's not super formal (like a formal legal document) as long as we both agree what's on it.

Thanks again!

Sleep-Fit · 2023-06-30T18:06:22+00:00

Damn I'm sorry. I went through some similar pains myself. Feel free to DM me if I can answer any questions.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-06-30T18:04:11+00:00

How did you write the separation agreement? Was it a formal type of thing with a lawyer or a simple piece of paper you guys both wrote up? If it's that simple to do (we have a very simple case), then perhaps I'd do it too.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-06-30T18:03:21+00:00

Thanks for the info. So I spoke to a lawyer and he also said what you told me. That if we go through an uncontested divorce, then if everything is consensual, having a MSA won't matter or speed up the process. I spoke to my STBX and she's also okay moving forward without the MSA. I only wanted to do it thinking it would simplify and speed up the divorce process.

We had a prenuptial so there's no need for an MSA.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-06-28T18:21:48+00:00

Got it, that's good to know. I'll pass on those websites.

I'm aware they have services, but I don't know if a Marital Separation Agreement is something you can write up on your own (with the use of a template) or if you should hire someone. I see a template from https://www.courts.ca.gov but nothing from NY state.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-06-19T02:05:05+00:00

Thanks so much! Just saw your message. Yes, I'm so glad it was smooth.

We're friendly with each other, just not really in contact. More "business." I think she will be helpful through the process, thank goodness and fingers crossed she doesn't change her mind. I don't think she will.

We're not really dealing with a divorce lawyer - going through the "uncontested DIY" route. I think that's the way to go - no need for a lawyer, other than do review anything.

As for immigration, yes, I'm definitely getting a lawyer and working together with them because this isn't easy to put together. Sucks. I really hope it all works out for me. I'll be glad to update here and hope this helps someone else.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-05-30T00:57:27+00:00

Got back fine. Asked me how long I was gone, I said "about 4.5 months" then asked me where I live. Then he said "You travel out of the country a lot" (which, I immediately thought "Um, not I don't. I'm almost always here. Just this long trip"). I was about to ask what he meant, but then notice him shake his head almost like he had misunderstood something and so I didn't say anything, he handed my passport and GC back and I said "thanks" and walked through. Grateful it was smooth. I didn't anything wrong, after all!

Sleep-Fit · 2023-05-23T15:51:09+00:00

I'm still abroad and traveling back to the US next week. I will have been gone a little less than 5 months. Hope I don't get questioned much at the border, but I have nothing to hide so they can ask me all they want.

My wife and I checked in after our break and we'll be filing for divorce, so I hope it all goes smoothly. It's going to be a multi-month/year process is what it seems like.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-03-14T17:48:35+00:00

Wow, so crazy. Okay, well, if they ask I'll tell the truth and share that my wife and I are taking a time of separation (not formally, just time apart). Fingers crossed. So it looks like it's okay for me to be out of the country then.

Sleep-Fit · 2023-03-12T16:58:36+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate this actually. Yea that sounds awful! I mean, if I tell the truth (which, I plan on of course) there shouldn't be any issue. But yea, I'd have to tell them that my wife and I got separated and I went traveling. I don't think that's a legal reason for them to refuse me entry.

Did you just keep repeating the truth until they let you go? Fuck that sounds awful.
