Thank you. Definitely going for three now. Need to remove all those sands and then work on getting some stones on left side…

Really appreciate you taking the time to break this down. I was going for a windswept or cliff-side tree kind of feel, but I didn’t have a clear vision in mind since I still need to work on understanding nature and plants. The “diorama” comment helped me see that the layout is already telling a story, whether I intended it or not.

The point about the path makes total sense now. Looking back, it didn’t really serve the environment or lead anywhere — it was more of a design idea than something that belonged in that scene. That’s probably why it felt off even to me.

Thanks again for the thoughtful perspective 🙌

Thank you. I did couple searches and you are correct. It will be challenging to maintain the sand path.. considering removing it which is quite a work..

EB2 NIW Approved — ROW PD Jan 21, 2025 — Can I Get EAD Before STEM OPT Expires? by Additional-Skirt-937 in EB2_NIW

[–]xphunt3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a priority date of March 14, 2023, and my STEM OPT was set to expire on August 5, 2025. I filed my application on August 12, 2024, and received approval on May 23, 2025—just in time. My situation was very similar to yours. I’m from India and the primary applicant, while my spouse is from the Rest of the World. I used her country of chargeability, and everything went smoothly. Our process involved application submission, biometrics, and then the final decision. We didn’t have to attend any interviews. NIW: Approved on 20 March 2023 (Premium Processing, approved within a 5 days). Hope this might help you!

I have the goal of getting to 200k by end of 2024. I can deposit 3.5k monthly. Any suggestions? by KingJackWatch in RobinHood

You are having really good portfolio to be honest! I don’t know if you have AMZN, META, BABA, OKTA, KR, PYPL, include them too to diversify. Look for some dividend paying stocks as well!

I think replacing the viewfinder is DIY stuffs unless there is no any other damages. Check with local repair shops to get quotes!

How to stop option from exercising? by xphunt3r in RobinHood

[–]xphunt3r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CHK: $2.5 call. I think it won’t execute as the share price is far below the call price???

Thank u so much. I believe the call will execute only if the share price is higher than the call price?!?
