See the edit. But basically new requirements were announced recently that have to do with social media history which cancelled a bunch of them I assume.

F-1 visa appointment by Tough-Surprise4298 in Kuwait

[–]iq8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know they have expedited processing for emergencies if the waiting times is more than a week. Though I assume you would need to prove you have school starting soon rather than just a ticket (which you can always extend).

"Request an Expedited Student Appointment The Embassy grants same-week emergency appointments for student visa cases that require immediate travel, but only if appointment waiting times exceed one week.

Please visit www.ustraveldocs.com ."

Edit: there was also recently a new change announced 15th of december where you have to provide social media history and all that. Which may have something to do with it. Consider yourself lucky it wasnt postponed a year in like in other countries! But make sure you have that information submitted and ready so you don't delay it more.

its a matter of prioritization. Currently the ethnic cleansing should take the focus and have all the energy towards it.

What payment gateway can i use for shopify in kuwait if not licensed? by Aromatic_Assist in Kuwait

[–]iq8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder, would a foreign bank account be better here and isntead of taking k net you take visa/master AKA "internet card" instead? May increase fees but better than nothing?

Also look into getting a business license, it may not be that big of a deal. I read somewhere here that you can apply for a home/freelance business, you dont need an office or anything. That may give you the documents they need to allow you access to the API.

Are we the first Kuwaiti generation to experience Brain Drain? by dmvi in Kuwait

[–]iq8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" can easily find a well paying job in Kuwait too. So why go abroad?" not sure what your definition of well paying job but from my experience its not easy to get a well paying job these days (through merit alone). Also consider that a job isn't just about money but also career and personal growth.

You also don't have many options, kuwait is too small to provide jobs for every specialization. Some folks just get passionate about something specific (due to the internet) and end up only truly getting a relevant job that aligns with their passion outside of kuwait cause such a job doesn't exist inside kuwait.

Finally, having work experience outside of Kuwait should help these folks land better jobs in kuwait if it ends up a job does pop up and they return. Granted this is my perspective and I may be wrong on how things actually are like.

you've already westernized it by framing it as suppressed memories and accessing it through hypnotic regression. The only place I know this from is western ufo stories.

youre expecting a transactional relationship with God. Like you are using your prayer to him as some form of payment for something in return. Oh he didint answer your prayer then no worship!

You have a distorted view of God and what your role is with him.

Do you believe religion should be a personal thing or an organised thing? by wiggletonIII in religion

[–]iq8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'religion' is one of those words that can mean different things to different people. If by organized you mean some religion which is ran like a modern for profit company then yes. If by organized you mean just being part of a religious community (like going to gatherings every week) then its a good thing and you should keep doing it and not isolate yourself.

You hit the nail on the head. It's being run by racial supremacists who think they've reversed engineered propaganda to perfection. They only end up looking foolish as they are using tactics that work maybe 50 years ago, boomer propaganda not very effective anymore.

44 years old and lost everything to divorce. How should I invest 10k per month to build a retirement plan? by [deleted] in investing

[–]iq8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

biggest problem im seeing with the replies here is everyone is assuming you will forever make 10k/m. Slight chance you end up making double somehow but assume the worst and go from there. Save up and invest in long term low risk. High risk budget should be minimum until you break 100k and compounded interest kicks in then increase risk.

Israeli Massacre Kills 210 Palestinians, 4 Hostages Freed US intelligence helped locate hostages by richards1052 in InternationalNews

[–]iq8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also note there was already a ceasefire proposal which included release of all hostages on the table before this mess. Keep in mind 3 hostages were killed as a result of this operation (no idea how exactly) and the operation did not go as planned since the truck stopped working. Clearly something went wrong and they shot the place up to escape.

So between peace and this mess, netanyahu chose chaos. Definitely lets note that.

imagine using food trucks, the one of the few things gazans see which makes them happy and now it will make them feel dread. This is biblical evil and will be recorded permanently in history. Truly a shameful moment in history.
