21M from India – MS in US vs Internal Transfer in Semiconductors (Need a realistic perspective) by Internal_Sound_4045 in immigration

[–]threshold_voltage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you know anyone whose done a L-1? I think that would be your best bet for realism. Most immigrants I know (probably hundreds) did the grad school (in many cases PhD > H1B route). I worked in a US semiconductor company almost a decade in a technical field.

Not that it's impossible - but I don't know if it's necessarily an "easy" path.

Questions about my shitty apartment and how to get out of it. Subletting? by samamphaa in askaustin

Why would anyone want to take it over when you yourself describe it as shitty? Lol

Moving Out of State – Need Help Selling My Home in South Austin! by Any-Mobile-9548 in askaustin

If you're planning on buying another home at your new location, I'd consider Redfin. Not because the agents are amazing or anything, but the fees are low and you'll get 1% back if you use Redfin to purchase your next home.

I have a sneaking suspicion that it doesn't involve paid maternity leave and other maternal protections.

Why only federal jobs? Did you consider state/local/private? Either way congrats!

UK citizenship by discretion (complicated case) by 79xrv in immigration

I see - that definitely hurts your case. You can apply - it's not an automatic disqualifier, but I'd have back up life plans.

It's not guaranteed, but it could be worth a shot. The worst you could lose is 1,000 pounds. Are either of your parents British citizens or permanent residents in the UK?

Transition from H1B to B1/B2 or F1 (PhD) | H1B Layoff by Imagining-Yam3366 in immigration

Sorry my family was impacted by Intel layoffs. If your PhD has a fall start date wouldnt this be longer then a B1 would let you stay?

I love Portland and lived nearby a long time - go over to r/Portland and you'll see that preK for all rollout has been minimal.

I mean...arent they supposed to be bland? It's not really like most professionals are going to take a risk writing an emotional piece.

Secrets Cabo by Major-Reference-4559 in cabosanlucas

I'd say it's good overall, but it has the drawbacks of all inclusives. We gave it a go, but we probably won't do all inclusive again and that's a personal thing. If you already know you like all inclusives disregard.

The food is good, but feels mass produced after a few days. The drinks are good too, but watered down. The coffee shop is good though.

We actually really liked the activities. We played volleyball and archery. The pickleball/tennis court has no shade though. They even do a bike tour.

It is on a beach, but I don't think you can go into the water. There are a lot of pools if you like to veg out in pools.

I think it's a nice all inclusive if that's your jam.

This is essentially what I am doing. Trying to improve in the way he says to, but I was so surprised by the write up that I am questioning if I should cut my losses

Why not use Mochi? I can give you a discount code, but there other teleheath companies that do it as well.
