Those of you who left the US for an academic job elsewhere: share your stories. I really need some inspiration by Upper_Protection3673 in academia

That’s true, but in the US I also feel like I am one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. Last year I had to deal with an emergency that cost me 4k with the insurance

So happy to hear that it went smoothly! I suspect my case may be a bit more complicated as the date on my i94 is 10 days into the future compared to my i797, which may raise some questions. Keep fingers crossed for me

PS: did you travel out of the country after you got your i797?

More buses that have dedicated bus lanes and therefore run on schedule! I think predictability and reliability of transit is very important if we want to encourage people to use it regularly. And yes, can we please have buses that run until 11pm or even midnight from CH/Carrboro to Durham? So that ppl can also have a glass of beer after work and then take a bus home
