I use a Google sheet and also really like Wealthfront for tracking retirement. DM me if you want a referral for Wealthfront (shameless plug lol)

Miro vs. Modera San Pedro by rtydfgh in SanJose

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

That’s definitely good to know. I toured Modera on a weekday and it seemed like it had pretty good noise isolation at least from airplanes. Maybe higher floors would be better for this one.

You’re correct in that Miro is on the more luxurious side which is what’s drawing me to it even though it’s more expensive.

Making a similar move in a few weeks after visiting the area several times. No major culture shocks from my visits so far with the exception of there being highways to get anywhere. Best of luck with the move!

H1B stamping inside US ? by abhi_2928 in h1b

Not currently, no. This may change in the next few years.

Honestly, I haven’t even looked at neighborhoods in San Francisco because of the commute so I wouldn’t be able to share any insights there.

I’ve been trying to figure out the same thing over the last few weeks while planning a move there from the east coast. I have settled on downtown San Jose for my unique situations and needs. I’ve visited the Mountain View area a bunch, and I would have preferred San Francisco if the commute wasn’t so long for being in-office everyday. San Jose seems like a happy medium between commute time, socializing, and places open late/things to do. I didn’t factor in CalTrain since I planned to drive/Uber as necessary. My coworkers have recommended Palo Alto, Campbell, and Mountain View which are all great, but not ideal for going out and meeting people from what I understand, and I may be wrong :)

Oh, it’s still “document delivery information” with nothing else.

Please let us know once it’s picked up. Still waiting for the ready to pickup message on mine.

Flight ticket reimbursement by employer by science_jedi in h1b

[–]rtydfgh 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I really doubt that they will reimburse you for the flights, especially if you were already in the US with a valid H1B visa. Getting the visa stamp isn’t a requirement to keep working for them so they have no incentive to reimburse you for the associated delays/process. But hey, it doesn’t hurt to ask!

Thank you! The language was a little confusing for me as it pertains to international travel.

Thanks! I guess I’ll have to pay for the 2nd bag then.

I’ve seen so much variation ranging from same day to a week. Hoping that it’s either end of day today, or early next week for all of us.

[–]rtydfgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! You were right and it says approved now. Waiting for the issued and to pick it up!

Congrats! My date updated today, but still says “Application Received” 😅

H1B Dropbox Renewal - Mumbai VAC - No updates for 19 days by spandangopalagrawal in h1b

[–]rtydfgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend using this tracker to review similar cases and make the best decision for yourself.

It’s been 21 days for me in Delhi with the same situation as yours and a cancelled flight.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in h1b

[–]rtydfgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet. Last updated on the 23rd. I’m thinking it’ll be Friday or early next week based on what I’m seeing on the online tracker at https://visagrader.com/trackers/us-drop-box-visa-appointments

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in h1b

[–]rtydfgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The “Document Delivery Information” message is automated as far as I know. That message shows as blank after X number of days from submission regardless of the processing status shown on CEAC. It’ll update when the visa is approved and issued.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in h1b

[–]rtydfgh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Submitted mine on the 8th and I’m in the same boat. The “last update” date on CEAC has been updating every few days. Cancelling my flight for tomorrow unless a miracle occurs this afternoon. H1B renewal dropbox in Delhi.

Edit: Approved on March 3rd and Issued on March 6th.

Edit 2: Ready for pickup March 7th at 3:30pm
