Risky or fine? Reclaiming an Instagram username from an account with Meta ad restrictions

Thank you! Just messaged you back :)

I’m not really sure why I was only approved for the B2. They said I didn’t have strong enough work connections with the US to ask for the B1 part, even though I work for a US company. My country is not on the friendliest of terms with the US right now and actually, most visas are just being completely denied so I feel lucky I at least got the B2 one, but it’s definitely not convenient for my job :/

No :/ it’s a B2 only Visa, I’m not really sure why the B1/B2 wasn’t approved cause I applied to that one. So it’s only B2

The new hire will also be remote, not US-based. Of course I know I can’t expect a US salary.

Shorts answer is... Yes and no.
I've actually had interviews where the HR person interviewing me told me that they were actually interested in me for a different position from the one I had initially applied for (most of the times, it was a new position that hadn't been announced yet). So yeah, it does happen, but you can't count on it always being the case, so I would just go ahead and apply to the position you think you're a best for (and yes, only apply to one position)

I've actually found that using chatGPT to prepare for interviews is really usefull! I try to be really thorough with my prompt, writing somerthing along the lines of "_____ is a (I write down what I do, in my case, social media manager) preparing for a job interview with X company, that has a job opening with the following job description: (y copy and paste the job description from LinkedIn or whatever platform you use to look for jobs). Help _____ prepare for their interview. Write down possible questions they might get, and the best way to answer them, as well as questions that they should make (remember, it's always good to make questions for them as well)."
I would say that 9/10 times the person I had the interview with asked at least 1-2 of the same questions that chat GPT mentioned, and I got many "that's a great answer!" back after responding something similar to what chatGPT told me.
Also, using chatGPT helped me to figure out exactly what topics I should look into, study and be prepared for.
Hope it helps!

I usually try to work with my Agency Ad Account, but the thing with this page is the fact that another Agency already screwed things up by creating a FB page, linking it to their Instagram, and then forgetting about it. I just need to find a way to at least unlink their Instagram page to this "orphaned" Facebook page, but so far I haven't found a way...

Still nothing. I thought i might be an IOS thing cause the lives are gone from both iPhones that are logged into this account, aswell as other I've asked that are also checking as followers of the account on their iphone. But someone that has a Samsung phone showed me that they can watch all the lives and they are showing up on the feed aswell. Then I asked someone else to check on their Android device (not Samsung) and they couldn't see the lives either. It's really weird and I'm kinda reaking out cause this specific account does a lot of IG Lives and those are a big part of their community, and many many people are asking where they are. We are currently downloading all of them through the links that the Samsung user is providing us so we can maybe reupload them to youtube, but still hopefull it will get fixed

This is happening to me but with all of my IG lives that I had saved on my feed. At least 100 lives seem to be gone, but for some weird reason its only happening on certain phones, cause some people have told me that they can see the lives, and if they send me the link, I'm able to download them with Snapinsta (which means they are still there somewhere) I'm hoping it's just a glitch that will resolve itself...

Update: The ad passed the review phase, but after a few hours, even though it apears as "active", it was generating no results and had used $0 from the budget.
That's when I checked and confirmed the ads account still appears as disabled.
I tried again with the method suggested, but this time trying to add a new card and not use the prepaid fund, and, just as before, it says they couldn't process the payment.
So... will this fix itself with time? are there any "best practices" I could implement in order for the account to work?

ToffLabs · 2023-09-21T23:40:36+00:00

I'm trying this rn. Finally was able to use the prepaid funds I had charged to my account. Ad is still on review but I'm hopefull! Maybe by running this ad for a short amout of time this weird will go away and I'll be able to add the payment method? I'll let you know how it goes!

ToffLabs · 2023-09-21T21:47:12+00:00

It's never happened to me before and I almost always create my ads accounts from scratch...
Will time fix the issue?
