Can we actually make this happen? Like get signatures and petition to the City?

I just completed it without any gadgets :p best thing is jump down into the tall grass and you can go behind the rock. There’s no vantage point for the sniper or any other henchman. Simply throw them off the cliff xD worked like a charm.

Always do the unexpected!

Hey OP, Could you give an update on your situation? Did you face any issues at the border?

The thing is I can support myself comfortably for around 2 years (Tuition + cost of living + additional expense) Its about the next 2-3 years that I need some guidance with, how to demonstrate satisfactorily with the constraint that I cannot use my TA/RA stipends for those years to justify my profile. Thats what I need some clarity.

What would be the best way to proceed

Well my statement of standing shows funding bifurcation for each term for the next 5 years however the word “guaranteed” is not written explicitly.

I just want to be sure that what I declare/explain is within the decorum of what’s expected by the officials.

Hey! I can definitely ask my parents to sponsor me, but is that the only way forward?

That is true but isint it the case that you also need to show the financial plan for the subsequent years right? I am worried how to show that without showing RA/TA how can I feasibly work out a plan

But am I able to show my TA/RA Income source? because I was told I cannot show income generated in canada

I agree Inherently it does not. But If you have connected your iPad to the mac via Sidecar, You know that you can interact with the macbook screen on the iPad using the Pencil, That means there is some secondary code that supports it. Maybe we can use the same piece of code to have a fully operational touch system macos? But yes a very ambitious project

This is promising! Which AI are you using? and Are you using an LLM Service like Groq or something?

Is it open source?

How are you running all these models? API Keys? Or is there a way to get access to all APIs?

We just had an info talk session where our University's ISS department said that even they don't have much clarifications but from all the documents that they have received from USCIS and WH if you are not already in H1B lottery system by Sep 21 2025, any new petitions to enter the lottery will require a fee of 100k.

Now I believe everyone who's on F1 OPT who got their jobs later in the year will participate in the next or the 2027's Lottery system and if we want to take part in that will face the 100k fee or not? That's still not clear and that why most of the companies are not moving forward with H1Bs which they wouldve previously. Everybody is waiting but for what is the question.

True. But F1 to H1b Change would that be considered a new petition to a H1b? If so the FAQ clearly states all new petition have the 100k fee tied to it. Right? Or is my interpretation incorrect?

Hey I know you have answered a ton of questions about Change of Status but I only saw you mentioning the articles before the White House released the H1B FAQ on September 21st 2025.

It states "ALL" new petitions filed after Sept 21have to give the 100k for processing. It only says that the fee is NOT for current H1b holders and renewing.

Now I have scoured the web for if Change of Status (CoS) is a new H1b petition or not and I was not able to find any information regarding this.

Could you help me in understanding if there were any other clarifications for Students who are trying to change their Visa from F1 to H1b after Sept 21.

The article I referred to:White House Wire H1B FAQ

All the proclamations that I see are mostly from Sept 20th. Has anyone gotten a declaration after the White House released the FAQ (Sep 21) saying all new petitions will be asked to pay 100k.

I'm not a lawyer but Now CoS is it considered a new petition or not is the question at hand. Has any immigration attorney been able to clarify on this?

Try to debug it if possible. GPT is really good with that.
I would recommend deploying your Frontend on vercel (Free) and Backend on Render (Free again!)
if the deployment is failing, Debug it again and again till it works. Trust me you'll learn basic devOps and you'll be thankful that you did.

Learn from my mistakes a webapp that you cannot show to the world is as good as it not existing.

Dude with Agentic AI if you just need to build the project not understand it you can build a basic ass website in a day!

I would receommend you to actually learn but first the grade is important too. SO
1. Come up with an idea for a project (Idea, tech stack, maybe even design if possible)
2. Ask some Copilot Agent To work on it for you
3. Look at what it built and try to make it better and better till you can
4. Make sure to ask it to add a readme.md file that way You can see atleast the basics of what happend and how
5. quiz yourself on this app before the Viva/Defense (if any)

But this is ONLY for the Grades. I would say LEARNING is the best way forward it would help you to even get faster and using AI as a tool is the way to go these days.

Then you can get a course. DON'T just go simply over every topic as you will get an information overload. When you are building something (that you want to) then think what do i need to learn to make it happen.
Open the course navigate to that section learn it. Thats how I began my journey. It has worked well.

Looks Dope

Tbh in my opinion Someone might find use of it. people use when2work and other scheduling based things that even work on htmls that I know of. so this can have some use to someone. However I would advise you to dpeloy it without spending a penny if possible. Try to find your audience then and then see how it goes and scale up

Do you have any leads for a data analyst that are hiring recent grads? I am unable to find many positions regarding that
