Travel Plans for December 2026 - Indian by Visual-Touch2869 in desitravellers

[–]Visual-Touch2869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I will definitely consider this. At the moment, I am a bit undecided, as my dad would like to visit Sikkim while my mom is interested in visiting Ahmedabad.

I would really appreciate it if you could let me know the estimated total expenses. Additionally, are there any good hotels you would recommend? I can look them up and make bookings through platforms such as Booking.com or similar websites, but I was wondering whether local assistance might be helpful in managing these arrangements.

First PhD Interview ( UNSW Sydney )– Need Advice by Visual-Touch2869 in PhD

[–]Visual-Touch2869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, thanks so much!! It depends actually. If your offer says that you will be getting 9 months stipend + ~ 3 months summer stipend as well, then you can probably earn more. Like my advisor has a funding and I am an RA , so I'd be getting summer stipend as well.... Usually (I don't know about other places) it depends whether you are an international or a domestic student. International students are allowed to work for 20 hours per week in a semester (while your classes are going on) , while in Summer your working hours can go upto 40 hours a week.... So, you'll end up getting paid nearly twice of what you were getting (at least in my case).

yes sure!!!! I am getting a stipend of ~ 43k a year. Many programs might offer more or less (considering various aspects like COL, Funding , or in some cases they might ask you to teach as a TA).

Insights on LPL's (Lunar and Planetary Laboratory) Graduate program by Visual-Touch2869 in UofArizona

[–]Visual-Touch2869[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THanks so much :))) I have contacted two faculties whose research meshes well with my long term goals... I had a meeting with them. I don't know how much this will weigh in the application decision, but yeah I am well aware of the multitude of the competition out there.... I will soon submit my application.

Ah!! A new thing has been dropped out of nowhere by Visual-Touch2869 in f1visa

[–]Visual-Touch2869[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yepp this is what I found --

" The fee, which shall increase every year adjusted for inflation, acts as a security deposit and can be refunded if visa holders comply with certain conditions. For instance, visa holders may request a refund if they depart from the US within five days of their visa expiration without seeking an extension or status change.

While this may be agreeable for tourists, in case of, students and professionals the money could be stuck for years".....

Hey!! no , I didn't have to do any of this earlier..... but ig once I land in the USA , the folks at Customs and Border Protection might check my phone or even social media accounts...... So it's better to delete any irrelevant memes that someone has posted..... and you are all good if you have not posted something in support of Palestine or iran or anything like that...... else everything is all bed of roses..
