Yeah you have to complete the interview and biometric process in India. Once you do that, they will seek no objection certificate from ministry of home and either finance or external affairs. Once that's received you will get an email saying your application status had changed. Then you can schedule a final interview in US with CBP. After that you're everyone in GEP

I got laid off in January and have been trying to find a new job since. I keep making it to the phone interview and sometimes a second interview, but always get ghosted. It’s so disheartening.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?
