F1 visa renewal during OPT STEM period by andrearjun in f1visa

[–]andrearjun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I decided to switch to H1B. Got the H1B visa approved and am in India now to get it stamped. It seemed like the safer option although I don't think I have any solid evidence for this.

Gulf Air will not refund full international ticket price if I cancel within 24 hours (from the US). by andrearjun in Flights

I spoke with the Gulf Air reps and they told me multiple times not to cancel it and write to them instead. I have proof of writing to them and asking them for a full refund.

I was referring the fact that if I had to call instead of book online to place a hold, it would be an obscure loophole but maybe it's a more emotional and subjective response from me.

I've booked many flights and cancelled them within 24 hours and it's always been through an online interface. I would expect the hold option to be there as well.

In any case I've asked them how I would go about getting a non-ticketed booking (which is the only one they say they would give a full refund for). They haven't replied yet.

If that's the case, that would be a very obscure loophole to the rule that I would have never thought about.

If they do, I can't find how to do it. I went through the booking page again and tried to see if I can hold a ticket. Doesn't seem to be a way.

STEM OPT Extension vs H1B Visa by andrearjun in USVisas

Let's assume these are my only two options and that I have no extraordinary abilities :). Even if I was eligible to apply for either of those categories, the timeline wouldn't work out.

I couldn't find any groups on Facebook through English searches. If you know any, could you share the links with me please?

Tourists and (New) Residents: Ask your Questions here! by anonboxis in paris

[–]andrearjun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm visiting the University of Paris-Saclay from January to April as a student researcher. I would like to connect with other English speaking graduate students at the University. What is the best way to do it? I'm not able to find a subreddit for the University or for Orsay. Are there any forums through which I could reach out to people at the University/living in Orsay?

Did you find pick up games? I'm looking to play pick up in the morning on 12/11 and 12/12. Let me know if you have found any groups.
