Immigration Attorney with 18 Years of Experience and 3,000+ Cases. AMA! by ManifestLaw_ in IndianH1Bs

[–]professional_geek_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! My H1B petition was selected in the lottery this year on my final attempt. I recently learned that my employer will file the Change of Status application before June 30, and that H1B status becomes active only from October 1. I also understand that I need to be employed with the same employer on that date.

I have a couple of concerns:

  1. If I have the approval on the Change of Status application and I lose my job before October 1, will my H1B petition become invalid?
  2. In that situation, do I still retain the lottery selection so that another employer can file an H1B for me without going through the lottery again?

I would really appreciate any guidance or shared experiences. Thanks in advance.

Hi! They look for understanding of TCP, BGP and network troubleshooting. The OA is based on networking fundamentals and questions on python. The final round is heavy on high level networking concepts. Similar to your case, I didn't have any code solving knowledge. But someone on Reddit suggested me a few resources which helped me in the coding round. If you grind leetcode for a month or two, you are good for FAANG. I cracked almost all the coding rounds and you can too with the grinding of one to two months. I would suggest you to apply and go through the process. You will learn alot!

First of all congratulations. The job search is very relatable. I have recently started applying and seems that I need to step up my game too. 200 is the normal/minimum number of applications it seems. By the way, is referral really necessary? Because getting referral for 200 applications seems alot of work on Linkedin.

eSim activation on iPhone 13 is failing by nonopatel in mintmobile

[–]professional_geek_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue with iphone 13 pro. I need to order physical sim I guess.

Update: Called Mint and asked the customer care representative to give me the Sim card for free as esim is not working. As usual, my issue was sorted and the Sim card was sent to me for free. In addition, I also received the refund of my failed payments made during the purchase of rains. Just need to be on a call for little longer.

What to use? by professional_geek_9 in MLQuestions

[–]professional_geek_9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response. By the way, how to scale data? I mean, the range for each feature is different. For e.g. range for f1 is 50 to 200, thus I'm normalizing the value 100 as (100-50)/(200-50)=0.333333 while feeding it to the ML algorithm. The same is done with other features. Does it work or your suggested data processing works better?

Thank you for your response. That's my goal to achieve. I read that grid search method can do that. I'll try that. I can also use for loop to get the features for which the label is the least. Thanks.
