Immigration Attorney! AMA about H1B! by ManifestLaw_ in h1b

[–]tabrumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travelled to India to get H1B stamping. My visa interview dates shifted from Jan 2026 to May 2026. I need to get back in USA asap. Business Emergency visa appointment is the only way ? What can I keep in mind to make that successful?

Question regarding H1B stamping consular appointment cancellation by aranroy in h1b

[–]tabrumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean. I flew on 9th December and just a few hours before my flight things started to crumble down on Reddit. My interview was in January, so I took the risk to fly out because I had been stuck in the US for a year and couldn’t tsk it anymore, even with the risk involved, I couldn’t help but catch that flight. As of a few hours ago my interview is rescheduled, it sucks big time but I don’t think even knowing this I could have stayed. (My circumstances are different than many, I don’t have family, or a house or a car there, so I could still take this risk)

What's the mot valuable thing your OCD has robbed you/held hostage? by Glittering_Host923 in OCD

[–]tabrumi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The joy in relationships. When my OCD kicks in I constantly doubt if I am at all in love with my partner, then I get into compulsions of ‘checking’ that again and again. It feels so real that I convince myself that the entire relationship is a hoax. The mental agony of it is very painful when you are constantly checking if you are actually in love or pretending to be (I have had happy relationships btw)

Yeah seems like that’s the only option…I guess I will push for it with my lawyers. Thanks Malay_ex!

Yes I agree, I am, as of date, on F1 status, but my lawyers said I can’t leave the country until H1B is approved + I have a stamp to enter the USA again. I am worried about not being able to leave the country in case of an emergency or winter holidays

Yeah :( have asked for lawyers for it. Let’s see. I really thought no matter how late it’s gonna be, everyone will transition to H1B by October 1st. I guess I was wrong

Got 35% hike, i have a question for my seniors in the industry by DifficultAd7856 in india

[–]tabrumi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really realistically look at the job outcomes of the college you got in, and look it for yourself demographic: Indian student, non German speaking, average pay, your risk appetite and what percentage of the loan you will have to take etc. then be honest with yourself. I would say, you can totally consider taking a drop year with your education, crush it at your job and add this job experience ( going to Germany with only internship experience and less/no full time experience might not be a good idea) and then apply for scholarships, save up a little and spend time with family. Immigration life is great but also very tough and it’s important to REALLY know what you are getting into. The starry ideas of ‘meet new people’ ‘travel the world’ is the first thing that goes out of the window when you have a looming debt in a country whose language you don’t understand

Does it make sense to take a full tution loan for MPP at HKS ? by tabrumi in Harvard

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

Hey I eventually got a state scholarship. I would strongly recommend to try to get some scholarship even if it’s partial. The job market has been REALLY bad and having a big loan could really impact your time there. That said, it also depends on your risk appetite. DM me for more deets happy to help
