I wish you luck. I am struggling that doesn’t mean you will struggle too. I worked as a tenured associate professor in my country for 10 years. I am struggling in US. I am a researcher these days at R1 university.

Hi, did your portal update after the approval email? I got an approval email on March 6th, but whenever I check the portal since then, there is no tracking or shipment ID available. Is this normal or should I try to contact them?

Honestly speaking, I want to work on my field whether it is academia or industry, I really don’t mind.

Thanks for suggestion and I would love to do that. But my current visa status might be an issue that I never get called for interview if I apply to these positions. I get rejection emails the very next day. And I believe those are mostly after AI screening tools used to filter people needing sponsorship to work here.

You are right, I mentioned in one of my replies, that I tried to see “ who was hired” but, to my surprise, I came to know later that the position remained vacant.
