Has anyone refinanced their student loans on h1b visa? Is common bond the only option?

Random question: does everyone have 5000 pounds of saving? 😂

Hi - I'm looking for a referral for a family member in the LA/Orange County. Relative is a permanent resident (has been for 10+ years) and looking to apply for citizenship. Relative had a juvenile record which was expunged ( I think it matters for citizenship). They had this record before they applied for their permanent residency. Now looking to an attorney with immigration & crim experience. Thank you!

Is Trump’s executive order to halt immigration for 60 days going to have any impact on applications of international students?

I am leaving US, because of no H1B. Why are you?

Hello fishes

I am new to Amsterdam and my visa allows my wife to work there as well. Can anyone help me with job postings in Human Resources Hr , Learning and development etc I can provide details if required.

Please help it's been really hard for her without a job and would like to know the options.

My H1B is processing but after hearing stories that company won't provide any projects for US even after H1B approval , should u take a jump. Have a offer in hand for another company which pays 50% hike on current package

Does JPMorgan Chase blacklist if we accept their offer and don't join.

My H1B was approved last year for consular processing, but did not activate it. Since I thought the ban was restricting new H1B. A friend recently said that was not the case. Is that right? Am I able to activate it now?

I don’t have a finance background and recently started investing in stocks and mutual funds (around 5K usd). I want to ramp up my investments but not sure how and where. Any recommendations for any books/subscriptions/blogs that can help me?

I’m finally hitting a stride (now in my mid-30s) and have some cash to play around with/invest. Any suggestions or recommendations on good, long-term strategies (and/or things I should absolutely be doing) for people not familiar with having a tiny cushion of wealth? Also open to “you should hire a financial advisor, etc..”

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Im interested in purchasing a rental property. I have the money saved up, but not sure where to start.

Benefits of roth ira vs mutual fund?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

How much did you spend furnishing your first home?? I've got a 2800sqft 4 bed room 3 bath with a game room and office and I'm looking at $30k ish.

Curios to know if the RE bowl think there will be a crash in RE prices since it was at a peak for the past couple years, a lot of realtors are saying no it won't but a fisherman won't say his fish is stink so I don't put much weight on their opinion. Also I am thinking these ppl that are paying way above the asking price for some properties will lose once the value in some of these properties drop. That's just my 2 cents, curious to know yours.

What are peoples current mortgage interest rates in the US and when did they start?

I'm from the UK and looking to move the US sometime soon with a view to buy and currently on a 1.4% interest rate on my UK property secured about 12 months ago for the next 5 years (so a good time to do it).

But seeing much higher interest rates mentioned on here so curious to get a temperature check on people's current deals.

Seeking nonfiction book recommendations on startups, tech, leadership, or investing. Finishing up Shoe Dog and need to find the next one.

Was laid off in Sept. Unfortunately we will be seeing many more coming. It's what happens in a recession. Unfortunately I now also have my age against me. Not in a mentally good place at the moment.

Thoughts on culture in Pillsbury NY?

Is it possible to get a remote job in the US but be based in Canada? Not sure of the legalities but the salaries here are much lower than those in the US...

Any insight on KPMG's Deal Advisory & Strategy Core Rotation internship and how the rotation would work over 8-10 weeks

How do you feel about getting homework for jobs?

We're altering our interview process to eliminate a homework assignment we give to candidates. It's about 2 hours of varying difficulty questions.

The VP wants to replace it with a 1 hour pair programming exercise because he thinks experienced candidates won't bother with homework. A lot of my experienced colleagues would be fine with the homework as long as it was within reason.

What's the consensus? Homework or nah?

When handling regional work in say, apac, how do you handle the multiple languages? Do agencies hire localization teams? Do they try to be more visually driven than copy?

Damn LIBOR rate up again...

Anybody thinks that the student loan forgiveness will pull through at court?

If you didn't have to pay off any more of your student loans what would you use the money for instead? I'm stuck between something impractical like a trip somewhere or something I need like a new car lol

Can grad students get $20k forgiven if they got Pell in undergrad but outstaning loans are only for grad school?

If you could go back in time what would you tell yourself before taking out student loans?

How did you navigate refinancing loans? I have both private and federal loans (definitely applying for the relief for the federa). I'm going to have to refinance all of them bit I don't really know where to start. I've been holding off because I'm in a contract to hire situation and upon hire (if hired) I'll probably be offered a lower salary.

Not mad that student loans being paused means I can use the money for Christmas. Are you still making payments during the pause? Or are you saving the money for something else. My christmas present to myself is a spa day!

What do you think are the chances this thing actually goes through? As of today they're still blocking it. It's paused which is fine, but if they don't actually forgive them after February I'll be pissed.

Anyone ever considered declaring bankruptcy to get rid of student loans? I see that even if they are private, you still have to show undue hardship.

Has anyone successfully refinanced a non-US student loan (e.g. from Prodigy Finance) in the US? Which company did you use?

In a perfect world how much would you want to make a year to both pay off your loans and live a good life? I think I'd need to make upwards of $200k to pay off my loans, take care of my family and live a fulfilling life.

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

Today, I officially have enough money to pay off the entire balance of my student loans. Won’t pull the trigger until SCOTUS issues a decision, but having the ability to do so is such a weight off my shoulders that I had to tell someone.

Do you need to do anything to receive the 10k forgiveness, or is it automatically applied based on your income and circumstances?

SOFI or who else?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???

What career can help me pay off 110k loans with 6% APR as quickly as possible? I realized I don't want to work in medicine but only after taking out a loan of course. I just don't want this to be hanging over me for the rest of my life

Are you doing what you thought you would be when you took out your student loans? If so, do you feel like taking out your loans was worth it?
