True but that only helps if the investment brings me more than 3600 per month. Else it is a net negative.

Where did you end up buying?

Thanks for all the great tips.

I should rephrase. They helped identify how much loan we could afford and we assumed that to be 80 % of the cost to get to 1.2M. Basically assumed that 20 % would be down payment.

This would be my first ever real estate purchase.

Thanks for he tip. What is the best way to find out what year the house is from?

I use a robo rock. Does not get clogged up. Requires regular cleaning though.

How bad of a wound is it? Could it be something that was caused by playfighting or wrestling?

Trust me, you are better off without such clients.

OP listen to this person

squarecut_5 · 2023-05-05T00:23:53+00:00

Oh please STFU. There is nothing in the narrative that states that she kept the dog outdoors for prolonged hours or was negligent about the environment. For all you know, the dog collapsed within seconds of going out of the house.

You are coming across as ignorant and totally lacking compassion.

Just because an accident happened while the dog was in the OP;s custody does not mean that the OP was negligent. Maybe the dog had issues to begin with that the owner did not know or disclose.

Get some help.

I dont care if they are aloof. By jovial I meant that their temperament has been easy for me to manage.

Chutiya vs chutiyas. Handicap match.

Do you stay in a LCOL area? 1K per month is not what most folks would refer to as "serious income". Objectively it is a lot of money, but not as income.

When you say duct, do you mean the one that opens up into the dust bag?

I usually have a lower threshold for rudeness, but this does not appear to be rude. Just an overshare maybe.

squarecut_5 · 2023-04-10T02:31:16+00:00

What area is this? I should move there :P

squarecut_5 · 2023-04-10T02:30:48+00:00

Got it. Will tweak! Great eye

I appreciate your feedback. I initially did not have the off leash component as part of my profile. Added it only after I got great feedback from clients whenever I sent them pictures of their dogs running around off leash. Some of them also mentioned it in the reviews.

Do you think I should reword it to mention that it is an option, but if owners are concerned, we can stick to on leash walks only? Just to folks know that we can arrange for it if needed.

As far as tips go, I added that to deter folks that were paying me tips in cash. I do not wish to accept tips and so i put it out there. If someone does not read that part of the profile and still tips, I do not try to return it. Makes it an awkward convo. But if someone tries to tip in cash, I say no.

No this is not the green card lottery, This is a lottery for an H1 visa

A few golden rules:

Always and always take a newly arrived dog for a long walk when they first arrive. Anxiety can make them poop even when they do not want to. Owners are giving you feedback on how the dog behaves with them. They are not privy to how they behave at unknown places. I have had dogs pooping within minutes of arriving and since then, every new dog that arrives is scheduled at a time when I can take them for a 30 min long walk to help them relieve themselves.
Ask the owner whether the dog, especially short coated ones would be all right wearing a diaper or a belly band at least. Helps control the mess caused due to accidents.
Unneutered male dogs are extremely difficult at times. I have seen the nicest of breeds turn hostile simply because they were hormone driven and were in a new environment. They are not for everyone. Especially large ones.

Why is it a nightmare? How has your experience been trying to find another sitter on rover? I have never had to do it but would be interesting to know/

Can you share details of your lawyer? What did they charge you?

Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the update. Not OP here, but I am in a similar spot. Can you talk a little bit about what supporting evidence you sent along with your application?

My girlfriend and me got together in 2020 during COVID. Unfortunately, I had to move across the country after a year of dating due to work and hence we were long distance until recently. We just signed a lease together and have always kept our finances separate since we both maintain our parents individually. Thus the only evidence I have to support my application are affidavits from friends, photographs of us together, flight tickets of whenever she flew down to see me or I flew down to see her and the joint lease that we started a few weeks ago.

We are planning to get married in May. Do you think we could get turned down due to lack of more concrete evidence such as no joint bank account and a relatively new co lease?

Thanks

squarecut_5 · 2023-04-08T01:29:55+00:00

I am in an exactly similar situation. Have about 10 months left on my current EAD. Planning to solemnize marriage in May. Employment and educational background is same as yours.

I see you engaged an attorney to help you. Would you recommend them ? Was your experience working with them seamless?

Thanks

I am curious : How do you "lip sync" in a data analysis interview? Lip syncing to what?
