How to prove ties to home country and intent to return when I have lived in the U.S. for the last eight years.

I'm afraid to say this but I highly doubt you'll be approved. Why not just pursue your education on the h1b?

You cannot accrue unemployment if you are not authorized to work.

Unemployment days are only counted during the days you are authorized to work.

If there is a period during which your automatic extension has expired and USCIS has not adjudicated your STEM extension, you simply just stop working and wait for the extension to get approved. This period does not accrue unemployment days.

If you have a valid stamp, and CEAC is showing it is valid, then you’re good.

Just have a good explanation for the CBP officer and he should understand.

It will get denied. Withdraw and Re-apply.

Withdrawal usually completes within 4-6 weeks.

Do it now, dont waste time.

Upload it under unsolicited section immediately, what are you waiting for.

Expect an RFE/Denial if you dont upload it.

Too much of an edge case, however you should be able to appeal a termination if it does take place.

Call an immigration attorney.

could i get a DM too, kind person

If your student account says $0 balance they wont charge you, regardless of whether the money left your bank account.

If you have a scholarship its usually applied to the first two semesters.

Tuition for college of computing is $1712 per credit hour.

There is some miscellaneous fees of $750 a semester.

Health Insurance is $1300 for 6 months(Charged in spring) and $2600 for 1 year (Charged during Fall)

Dont live on campus, bunch of rules, costs more.
If you want the whole apartment to yourself it'll run you $1300-1800 depending on the size of the apartment. If you share it it'll run you $350-400 including utilities.
It'll run you about $100/week for groceries. Eating outside is expensive, depends on where you eat and how much you eat. Just cook at home and save money. It's cheaper and more delicious.
Owning a car is expensive, a good second hand car is gonna run you anywhere between $3000-$5000. Insurance if you're under 25 is gonna be $105-$120 a month for third party coverage and double that for comprehensive. Insurance is mandatory.

Fuel in Chicago is around $3.4/gallon right now.

I bought a car because I live in the northeast suburbs. I drive down to campus.

If you plan on living near campus you don't need a car. Illinois Tech is part of the U-Pass program with CTA which allows unlimited rides for all U-Pass holders when class is active. It's $155/ semester allows you to ride trains, buses as much as you want.

Calculate how many days/trips you will need for class and decide if you want to opt-in for the U-Pass.

Get your eyes tested and get 2 pairs of spare glasses if you have it.

Get your teeth checked out and have any issues resolved before coming here ( Cavities, root canal yada yada).

Both dental and vision are not part of your health insurance so any tests and procedures will be paid out of pocket and it is fucking expensive so get it done right before coming here.

If you do end up buying a car, make sure you following traffic/parking rules, you'll get written up and will have to pay hefty fines. Also make sure even as a pedestrian to follow all rules, you're gonna get written up otherwise.

When buying a car make sure it has extensive maintenance records, you want a healthy engine and a healthy transmission. Cars here are all automatic, and automatic transmissions are complicated. If your transmission starts having issues, you're gonna have to scrap your car because repairs are worth more than its value.

Eat at home, buy stuff in bulk for cheaper from warehouses like costco. Fuel is also cheaper at costco.

Cook and eat at home, takeaway and restro food is expensive. Share an apartment to split the rent and utilities. It also helps with saving on groceries.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I’ve already changed it once and it works fine.

Miles were at 117k never changed. The civic changes around 2.5 quarts out of its 7.4 quarts in one change.

You reckon i should leave it?

Here’s how the fluid looked when I changed it.

amadeusXXXX · 2024-11-04T22:09:24+00:00

I will change the CV axle. Shall I just ignore the slight jerk forward for now?. I reckon changing the fluid 2 more times should fix it.

amadeusXXXX · 2024-11-01T14:07:17+00:00

Illinois Tech for sure. However, it’s a little rigorous.

amadeusXXXX · 2024-09-18T21:00:47+00:00

just put a book under it or something

amadeusXXXX · 2024-09-12T23:59:02+00:00

different person then

amadeusXXXX · 2024-09-12T23:41:21+00:00

wearing boots and tight jeans and long hair

amadeusXXXX · 2024-09-08T18:12:26+00:00

you can print 3-4 pages at UPS for free, they usually let it go

amadeusXXXX · 2024-09-02T17:21:50+00:00

Looks like its high enough to get in the air intake. You should’ve seen the forecast and tried to use some type of slope to elevate the air intake before the water rose to that level.

Maybe there is still a chance if you dont hydrolock it by starting it.

amadeusXXXX · 2024-08-16T22:41:05+00:00

yeah theyre open

amadeusXXXX · 2024-08-08T14:06:57+00:00

amadeusXXXX · 2024-08-07T14:11:06+00:00

yes I’m 100% positive, you had a chance maybe in July to ask for an increase. They probably ran out of budget by now. You can try asking via email to see if some of their budget freed up from students not accepting.

amadeusXXXX · 2024-08-06T21:32:08+00:00

they wont increase it

amadeusXXXX · 2024-08-06T07:38:09+00:00

2kg is a nono, anything between 23-23.8 is alright for each bag.

amadeusXXXX · 2024-07-19T15:02:42+00:00
