Any desi friends here got GC through a sibling? Is it faster than going through the EB2/EB3 way?

Thinking about moving from Seattle to San Diego, but don’t have any friends down there. Any advice for how to meet queer friends?

Approaching 30 now and living with roommates in NYC, but considering moving to my own place. Has anyone found that living with roommates is better than living alone? Conventional wisdom says no.

I’m a pretty outgoing person and i like to have people around. I also like my roommates cause we chill. So I’m really scared of moving in alone and being lonely. Increase in rent will be marginal and totally affordable.

I haven’t had any type of romantic/intimate relationship in 10yrs, since I was 16. It has to be me and I should just prepare for a life alone, right?

My SO lied about the scar on his fist. I never ask about the story behind it but he initiated the conversation and said it was from the boxing club. Now it turns out that it’s the result of street fighting . It’s a small thing but I feel very uncomfortable about it. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking or if this is a major red flag that shows his personality.

How have you dealt with anti-vaxxer friends? I have one and I’m not mad or angry at them. I’m just disappointed that I’ve associated myself with someone like them. 😔

Anyone have a good way to actually see younger (9/10 year olds) student work when completing their math problems in real time while teaching virtually. I'm struggling with knowing what/if they are doing at home. Holding up dry erase boards to the screen is hard and time consuming!

My brother-in-law (age 30) told us recently that he is transgender. How can we support him? (‘Him’ as we haven’t discussed pronouns yet). It was a surprise to us!

Read a very interesting article on that used machine learning and a lot of data to find key things people look on a relationship:
- Tall (if a man),
- Rich,
- Specific race/ethnicity,
- Similarity to one self (people are 11% more likely to date someone with a similar name)
- Sexy name? I may have to change mine now
- Physical attractiveness
- Occupation of authority - if a man

And these same factors were classified as the ones with the least impact on happiness in a relationship

I recently met my close friend’s boyfriend and he made a good impression…until he tackled me. Now I don’t know how to raise it with my friend. My friend and I live in different parts of the country so I was looking forward to both of them visiting me since it seems like her happiest relationship. We were enjoying a picnic in the park by the lake and I don’t even know why but he started saying he wanted to rassle me (or however wrestling would be spelled in a fake accent) but (Cont…)

Men marry their second mom.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

My partner of over 1 year dropped a comment that made me feel very uneasy. He said that he loves everything about me but wishes I was a bit more socially active. I love being on my own, reading, watching series, FaceTiming friends and family abroad. I moved to London 2 years ago and because of the pandemic it has been hard to establish solid relationships here. Am I being too much for feeling hurt and insecure suddenly about this or is my partner a bit of a dick for making that comment.

How did parenthood change your relationship with work? For the men and women

I find people to be so disappointing. I wish I could live all alone without them. But I guess that’s lonely and we need to feel loved by someone.

Looking for a husband 🤣

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

My cousin is in great shape physically and I know he could get through that part of basic training/boot camp but don't know if he could handle all the yelling because of past trauma he's been through. Thoughts / advice?

My relationship just ended yesterday because he wanted to “focus on myself and figure things out.” My relationship before that ended (~2 years ago) because he wanted to focus on himself. I can’t help but feel like it’s because something is wrong with me. What am I doing wrong?

Hello fellow desi consultants,
I am currently working for Deloitte USA. I got a transfer offer to Deloitte Canada office. I have 2.5 years work experience and a bachelors degree. When i was calculating my CSR score for express entry it came to be around 418, assuming I’ll score the highest band in IELTS. Does anyone know if Deloitte Canada does LMIA for transfer hires like me? I am not sure if having a job offer helps unless the company files for LMIA.

Working on buying a home. Got great rates with a lender. While signing, noticed that I was marked as a Permanent Resident Alien. I'm on H1B.

If I tell my lender that I'm a non-Permanent Resident Alien, would there be any issues vis a vis rates? or actual approval?

I have 3 more years left on my visa and I have very good credit history over the past 6 years

Anyone willing to help me with my RFE? Happy to DM. Got one as part of my h1transfer; related to how my masters degree is tied to my new job description. TIA!!

Telling my wife and my parents/in laws that we are most likely going to be a one child family, reasons include physical toll on my wife due to limited support in the US (Covid prevents us from having parents over) affording college in the future, overall savings etc. I’m being given a laundry list of negatives of having one child but I’d rather support one child 100% than not have enough for 2. Let me know your thoughts
