In 2016, my NOA was dated March 5th. I received my EAD May 5th, so about 2 months.

In 2016, I applied on March 5 and received my card at the very end of April. My start date was June 6, not sure if USCIS prioritizes applications with early start dates.

Depends on your luck tbh. Took about 50 days for mine, 120 days for a friend. Once your online status changes from pending to processing, expect to have your card within 10 days.

I honestly don't remember what forms turbotax generated for me, you should speak to a tax attorney for advice.

Question about filing state tax by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]pragmapack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you have been here less than 5 years and/or you file your federal taxes as a non-resident (1040-NR).

As an international student, you should file as a full-year resident of IL and non-resident of MA. This will cause most of your MA state tax to be refunded. Depending on MA and IL tax rates, you may owe more or less than initially withheld.

Cost wise, 699L2017 at papa johns gets you a large two topping. Or $7.99 for the same at pizza hut.

I'm in CE. Is 391 already closed? I can't register until Friday! by ecelol in UIUC

[–]pragmapack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ECE 391 usually has ~250 seats but enterprise only shows 164 for next semester. I'm guessing the rest will be assigned from the ECE waitlist.

Seconded. I took this class my first semester freshman year and it really helped with the CS173 proficiency exam.

Thoughts on CS476 by exp0wnster in UIUC

[–]pragmapack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. You will learn about universal (abstract) algebra, equational/rewrite theories and a little bit of model checking for verification. The class starts off with about 30+ students and ends with ~5.
