If you’re referring to getting the visa stamped - yes, it can be rejected. Likelihood is very low but of course say all the right things and be sensible. You’ll get it.

If you already get it approved, and take all required docs with you then the likelihood is fairly low and merely just for visa stamping. If you had a good history with US visa interviews then you are pretty much set.

It can be rejected if they find some anomalies in your change of status with respect to your employment or job description but rejections are comparatively less as already stated by D1

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

Can anyone please share the exact address of the AMEX Bangalore office location?!

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️
