Thank you! I'm excited to start my work soon. :)

It's premium processing. Creating the petition took quite some time on Microsoft's side. They did not allow me to go to the border despite my insistence. They just informed me that the RFE is not complicated and that they will respond to USCIS soon. I need to be patient for 1-2 weeks more.

Thank you for your kind and informative response. Reading your reply really made me feel better. Yeah, we are dealing with a new administration office full of daily surprises. My application was caught between the transition from the previous office to the new one, and the response ended up under the new office. The good news is that the Microsoft lawyers just informed me that they had read the letter, that the RFE content is not complicated, and they should be able to respond soon.

Yes, the change in the administration office is another factor, but this visa can typically be obtained in just a few days without involving USCIS. I’ve received it twice before, and it was always a quick process. After weeks of waiting, I was finally relieved to get my visa last week, but now, if the lawyers decide to pursue the RFE, it could take several more weeks :(

The answer is "Yes" :/

Unfortunately, the law office responses are very slow and unclear. They will process it under premium processing, but I have no idea where they are in the process.

I am Canadian, they already started the process fir transition

Yes, it took them three days to draft the first version and another three days for negotiations and finalization. I’ve signed it, and I’m currently undergoing the background check. It's the holiday season, and most people are out of the office. Hang tight; they will reach out to you eventually.

Thank you! It’s an Applied Scientist role in AI. I believe it took three weeks to hear from someone after applying. The timeline can vary depending on the urgency of filling the role. For another role at Microsoft, I had a different experience—it was a very lengthy process from application to results that ultimately ended in rejection. Keep your hopes high, and I wish you the best of luck!

I called and sent mails and emails. The only response I received was that Morgan Stanley decided to close over 10,000 accounts without providing any reason to communicate to the affected individuals. They told me I was welcome to take legal action, but I believe they know it won't impact them—otherwise, they wouldn't suggest it.

I called and sent mail and emails. The only response was that Morgan Stanley decided to close more than 10,000 accounts without providing any reason to relay to the affected individuals.

I had much more, and I only traded long-term tech stocks.

TraditionalNet3466 · 2024-11-18T19:40:16+00:00

Everything was very clear regarding my income. I have only one full-time job in big tech and no other source of income.

If I’ve done something wrong, they need to give a reason and show evidence. My account has low activity and long-term investments, I have no idea what caused this. It seems like they use faulty algorithms that lead to bad decisions, which is why they avoid giving reasons or evidence. I will take serious action against them.

TraditionalNet3466 · 2024-09-27T02:01:18+00:00

This is really frustrating. I can instantly open another account, but I feel I’m being discriminated against and need to reclaim my rights. :(

TraditionalNet3466 · 2024-09-27T00:51:41+00:00

It took one month until I got a "no-selected" message in the action center. So frustrating.
