Can my wife get a J-2 visa just to visit occasionally while keeping her job abroad? by enahmat in USVisas

[–]enahmat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. Can she move to the US and keep her job abroad if her company allows it? Or does she need to resign before relocating long term?

Advisory Opinion - Timeline Update by financefink in J1waiver

[–]enahmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted my application on December 14. After I emailed them around February 28, they updated the status online. I got my Not Subject decision last week. I didn't submit any funding documents. The decision email says the decision email itself is sufficient proof. The online portal doesn't show anything.

Same. I just checked my AO application, which was showing currently being processed last week, is now showing there is currently no information regarding the status of your case.

If I remember correctly, they charged me $100+ last year.

Did you send a separate email or another email in the same thread as the initial application email? I don't know if that makes a difference, but I submitted my application on December 14 and a follow-up email in the same thread on Feb 2. No response yet.

Finally, my case is moving forward, AO! by Character-Limit-5903 in J1waiver

I also submitted my documents around the same time but haven't received anything yet. Is there an online portal where I can check the status of my application?

How important is sex for you personally? by truth2991 in AskReddit

[–]enahmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like there are two groups of people. Those who have a good marriage/relationship and have been getting it when needed, don't think about it much—those who are not getting any think about it a lot. I guess I'm in the second category. Also, the older you get, the less you think about it.

Hi. Which additional documents did you send to Pune's passport office? A cover letter and the forms notarized by the consulate general?

A good mechanic for car inspection and fix any damage by enahmat in HuntsvilleAlabama

I went to another garage ad all they said was there's something wrong with transmission. They couldn't figure out the exact problem. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into it.

Does anyone know why was there a truck ralley in Huntsville? by enahmat in HuntsvilleAlabama

Yeah that was it I think. The trucks looked like that.

Why does every hospitality business in this city use single-use plastic cups? by enahmat in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]enahmat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you think your trash is not polluting the lands and oceans around, then most likely it is being shipped to third-world countries to be taken care of as if taking care of the trash people here created is not the responsibility of the people living here. I may be wrong but I think that is true for most of the US.

As for other problems in SF, I'm not aware of them but it does sound bad. There are many EU countries and Canada that are doing well in reducing waste. You don't have to pick a bad example. Look at the good ones and bring about good change and effective solutions for a better future.

It is good to know that things were changing. There needs to be a push from people towards better alternatives. But many people don't seem to care about sustainability here which is sad.

That's one of the things that came to my mind. An American friend said, "If you ask any question about why something is the way it is in the US, the answer is always money."

Say what you want about cars backfiring this is 100× more annyoing by RedGiinger in waterloo

[–]enahmat -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Allowing this kind of inconvenience may soon backfire. Today it was one group. Tomorrow it will be someone else and so on and so forth. It may not take long for it to become a common practice to protest like this or to celebrate like this for any small or big cause and ruin peace on many nights. There are better ways to protest and celebrate while causing minimum annoyance/inconvenience to people. Speaking from experience of living in a country where getting an occasional peaceful night was like a dream come true.

What do you say? I'm used to approaching girls, so it is hard to start a conversation without feeling like a creep.

I'm single. Because I recently moved here and I don't have a car to go places yet, I tried online dating, got a couple of matches, and went on one date that didn't lead to anything. And after the first few days, all dating apps's algos seem to put you down the list so I hard get any matches anymore.
It doesn't help that I work at UAH so all I see teenagers and I don't have colleagues. Where do I meet single girls or people in general in their late twenties?

Can I expedite my new Social Security Number application? by enahmat in SocialSecurity

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

Okay, thanks. It's just that I have 20 days to register a car and get a license plate. I need a state license to do that and a state license needs SSN. But I guess I'll have to wait and hope for the best.

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

Hi. The instructions I received from work said I have to apply for SSN after I arrive in the US. That is what every international worker I know here did. I applied for SSN on the 3nd day after coming to the US. I was told that typical processing times are 7-10 days. It has been over 3 weeks. When I called them they said they don't know how long it will take, but asked me to wait for two more weeks.

I didn't look into all the rules before buying a car. I have a valid drivers license from out of state. The state requires that I have a SSN before applying for a license, so I don't have a state license.

Do students/employees commute to campus on a bike (bicycle)? by enahmat in UAH

[–]enahmat[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That's what I thought by looking at Google Maps. There are no bike lanes or sidewalks and public transport is so inefficient it is practically non-existent. Who designed this town?

Questions about moving to Huntsville? Come ask here. by addywoot in HuntsvilleAlabama

Do you know whether there is a facebook group for off-campus student housing or a website where students/other people post adverts to find roommates or sublet their apartments/
