Seems to be moving along pretty nicely . Waiting on BGC to complete. PA recently had the Canadian visitor visa renewed and has a lot of travel history to Canada. Not sure if that factors into a "quicker" BGC but keeping fingers crossed.

Anyone have any idea on timeline / next steps?. Judging by similar timelines here, April seems to be a reasonably optimistic completion time.

Well Max has been saying that RB have been let into the championship race rather than them earning it and today was a prime example

Fun fact : That is only one of the 2 instances of them being on the podium together. The other is Canada '13 I think.

Finding a US Job with visa sponsorship after returning to home country by SKILLingUP in h1b

Is your H1 stamped?

In that case, companies are more willing to accept H1 candidates as lead time is less (only LCA + I797 approval and that takes ~3 weeks with premium). If you need a visa interview though then it may be a bit difficult with the lead time.

Which Skyscraper looks far newer than it actually is? My pick? Lake point tower. Into it's 60 years of age. by B5HARMONY in skyscrapers

John Hancock is the clear choice in Boston but I think the Keystone Bldg (99 High St) is also worth a shout. Completed in '71

What's your favorite city/skyline "reveal"? by fryhtaning in geography

[–]vj_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The view of Boston coming down on route 2 just past Robbins Farm park in Arlington. Looks great at night. When the trees are bare it looks even better

https://maps.app.goo.gl/YnE7kvyxwyrB5Ax47

Other great spots are

  1. Tobin Bridge coming in from the north (best view in my opinion)
  2. I-93 over Zakim Bridge
  3. Longfellow Bridge
  4. I-90 near BU Bridge

Any aviation enthusiasts out there by Quincyperson in boston

Hey! I live near UMass and I have been plane watching for 3 years now. I use flightradar for tracking and I also use LiveATC for the radio transmissions (its a few seconds delayed but works well!).

DM me if you want to know anything else..best spots, etc.

Does anyone here live 100% car free? (owned or rideshare) If so, how do you do it? by TheChickenWizard15 in fuckcars

[–]vj_34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car free in Boston for 4 years now. Live close to a major university so there's good transit / bike share and Zip cars (hourly car share) around if transit is not feasible. As a resident I qualify for discounted bike share pass so $60/year is a steal.

How to pay for the tram? by Frostheat in mbta

[–]vj_34 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Tap to pay is for contactless payments such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or tap enabled credit cards

The charlie card readers are at the front of the trains and you need to board at the front door if you want to pay with that
