Does anyone know Global Service requirements this year? (United)

Notes:

* Aware it is “invite only” and by hub - trying to see if anyone has ballpark estimates; I anticipate the thresholds may change

* I have heard they switched from PQD to PQP?

* Current GS have been extended already

* I did try calling the 1k line and gave up when I found myself explaining to the rep how GS works

Any intel appreciated

If I have a valid H1B until May 2025, will the i131 being denied have any impact on me? I need to travel out of country and I know that’ll result in i131 being denied automatically. I have filed for 485 in July 2022 and hopeful that it’ll get approved before my H1B has to be renewed in May 2025. Is there any risk of travel king out of country multiple times on H1B before 485 approval?

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Idk what advice someone could give me , but has anyone else gone through “just surviving period”

How do you manage keeping track of and responding to teams chats and emails in a timely manner? I have a hard time addressing chats when I am focused on something else, because I know it will completely derail me. But then I forgot to circle back to the chat when I’m done and I’ve recently been told that my response time is unacceptable and needs to improve, but I’m truly unsure how to improve.

I broke my foot a few weeks ago and sitting at my desk in a cast is incredibly uncomfortable still. But, the work I do can’t really be done from the couch as there is too much paperwork involved that I prefer to physically spread out. I am a true solo. So, I am my only accountability. I’m usually pretty good about getting going, but I’m stalled out. Send me some tough love to get me going today.

Would love your advice here! The work week really burns me out, and whenever I attend church on the weekend I have a really tough time paying attention and being present. Any tips for me to be able to be more focused and in the moment at mass?
