2024.05.14 20:40 cool_geekguy TB test for UK Visa
Hi, need advice
I have been living in UK for the last 3 years. I plan to shift to a new visa soon but outside the UK (from Pakistan). Will I still have to provide TB test if I apply for visa outside UK, provided I have a resident card (BRP) valid till December 2024? Or I would be exempt from TB test? Anyone plzz!

Anyone know how long Cardless takes to make a decision one way or the other? I applied for their new Qatar Airways Visa Signature credit card, and it's been 7 days since I received this non-answer on my application, basically saying they'll get back to me:
"We need some more time to reach a decision. We'll send you an email once we've finished reviewing your application.
Best, Cardless"

My F1 visa expires on May 30, 2024, but my EAD card expires on June 20, 2024. Does my H1B need to be filed before expiration of my F1 or before expiration of the EAD card? My company’s lawyers are very slow so would appreciate clarification on when to pressurize them. TIA.

My teenage child is going on a field trip and flying across the country. The school recommended giving a debit card instead of cash. I went to the store and was looking at prepaid visa cards vs visa gift cards. Up until now, I had thought they were the same thing. Which one should i get? Or any other recommendations?

Hello all, I’m a non-EU citizen currently living in the Netherlands. My friends and I would like to rent a car in Paris to travel somewhere in France but I don’t have a credit card to provide as a deposit. All I have a is a Maestro debit card. I do have a VISA international debit card but that doesn’t have my name. Do you have any suggestions or any specific sites that allow without a credit card?
I’m the only one that has a license and is it possible for my friends to give their card as a deposit instead of mine? Please advice.
Thanks

2024.05.14 19:26 Grouchy-Mud6594 Looking for suggestions based on our finances.... want to own a place!
Looking for some basic financial advice as two not-so-financially literate adults in our 30's (we're working on it!).
My partner and I are in our mid 30's and would like to continue to pursue our dream of owning our own place. We would be more than happy with a two bedroom condo. We live in Vancouver - Lower Mainland and will likely be staying here until retirement as my partner works in emergency services and cannot transfer his seniority, etc., and will be earning six figures in the next year (we would otherwise be open to relocating elsewhere). We have had to spend 40K this past year on fertility treatments which was a big blow to our down payment savings. I am a social worker who is looking to get a job with an employer that covers fertility treatments to offset that cost for us. We both went to university in our late 20's and spent the last several years paying off student loan debt and trying to save.
Looking for suggestions on how to proceed with our finances. We both have chequing, savings, and RRSP accounts with Vancity Credit Union, and Visa Infite credit cards. through them as well. We both also have TFSA and FHSA accounts opened with Questrade. We know we are quite behind for our age but want to get aggressive about putting money away. I will include our approximate finances below for reference. I should mention neither of us carry ANY debt - student loan, consumer, or otherwise.
Me
• My annual income moving forward will probably be about $50,000-60,000 (a significant reduction but worth it for the fertility benefits) • Vancity - RRSP = ~$12,00 & High interest Savings = ~$50,000 • Questrade - TFSA = ~$23,000 & FHSA= ~$1,000 • I have a couple of thousand in a chequing account and then we keep a few thousand in our joint chequing for shared houshold expenses
Partner • Partners income = $95,000 (and will continue to increase up to ~$115,000 in the next couple of years) • Vancity - RRSP = ~$10,00 & High interest Savings = ~$16,000 • Questrade - TFSA = ~$3,500 & FHSA= ~$0
Wondering if I should take most of what is in the savings account and maximine my TFSA/FHSA and only hold an "emergency fund" in there? Is that risky?

2024.05.14 19:02 West-Swing11 Failed delivery of BDO replacement card
So I have a BDO Gold Visa and Mastercard with shared limit and they expired last March. BDO sent me a new card for both pero failed delivery yung Mastercard. Hindi ko alam kung bakit failed delivery eh nadeliver naman ng maayos yung Visa card and nadeliver naman din yung mga previous replacement cards ko from BDO. Nobody called me from BDO and hindi na ako nagbother kase I rarely use my BDO card na. Nawala na rin sa BDO app ko yung mastercard. This week lang nakatanggap ako ng statement from BDO for April and meron pa rin akong statement for my Mastercard pero ang charge na lang the membership fee. Can I cancel the Mastercard ba even though shared limit sila with my Visa card?

2024.05.14 18:53 markaznar MB card conversion question
The first world problem: I got approved by MB for a card I have no use for! Like, LITERALLY! 🤣
The query: For those whom have experience, can I call MB hotline to have them convert the card to MASTERCARD WORLD or platinum (the prior is my preferred MB cc), the very moment the card gets delivered and activated via their MB app?
The research: Per agent, conversion cannot be processed until end user activates unwanted cc. I find this hard requirement wasteful..seeing as bank ends up spending for courier service and packaging (remember paper - wood- trees?) for not. UnionBank and BDO were able to make charge card type without needing me to activate their respective cards 🤷♂️
The ranting: For reference, cl is lowish at 425k per MB hotline. Per research, it should be enough for the MB Mastercard world cc. However, if I am mistaken re figure, then MB Mastercard platinum will do - at least I still get the 50 percent discount on some restaurants (the biggest reason for the card). MB
The “even more” ranting: 🤣 Cashback visa does not work for me as I NEVER do grocery shopping since I always dine out. I also do not pay tuition fees nor purchase physical or electronic books! 🤣
The answer?: 🤷♂️ Xxxxxxx.
The Gratification: Thanks everyone 🙏 and a good night, este, morning 😁

2024.05.14 18:45 colombia84usa Would I be able to apply for the SRRV based on my situation?
I am 40 years old and married. I won't be able to move to Philippines until I am about 43 because my wife is still has a green card. She will become USC in 2.5 years.
I am medically retired from US Army. I have a DD214 and was in the army for 5 years. I collect SSDI and VA pension. I also have a military ID card.
Would I be able to apply for the SRRV expanded courtesy? If not, what visa would I be eligible for?

My fiance came to the US on a K1 Visa and we have been married for a month. We are at the Dept of Motor Vehicle for a state identification card. They can only issue the id card until the expiration date on the I-94, which was the expiration date he had to come to the US. How can he get the expiration date extended?

2024.05.14 18:37 Mark_Alpha_JDS Emigration Questions ($, Employer, Logistics) (UK -> US)
I’ve been blown away by the level of responsiveness and expertise from Redditors for a few related topics which have been a huge help to me. Thanks in advance for any feedback here and I hope I’m in the right place!
I’m in a level of ‘negotiation’ with my Employer (a global Tech company) about a relocation from Southend, SE England to either Alpharetta or Tampa as part of a promotion within my existing Team on what is expected to be a ‘3 year gig’ (at which point the company is expected to be sold which would inevitably see changes of personnel almost certainly those who I am currently ‘negotiating’ with!). Naturally there are a million and one things to consider, especially as a (married) father of two young children.
As I await more formal details of the offer (including the $!), I am trying to speed through all the various research needed which I am simplifying into the below, in order to make negotiations effective and ultimately lead up to a point where I will be able to make an actual decision (likely in the next two weeks)
My Wife and I are very excited about the prospect, just trying to be as cautious as possible especially given this will be likely to move quickly!
Many thanks in advance

- Understanding the ancillary costs associated with relocating to the US as well as the expected on-going living costs in either location (to also include the likely requirement to relocate BACK in ~3 years time)
- Understanding which of the many risks associated with this opportunity I should attempt to have mitigated by my Employer
- Understanding any fundamental blockers/showstoppers that could prevent the move from being viable
- (re: 1) What are some of the more ‘obscure’ costs which I may not have factored in?
- I have been told informally that the company would fund my ‘relocation costs’ but those have not been specified and nor is there a dedicated function within my company to support this. I suspect the onus may be on me to even negotiate these elements. What could be considered normal and reasonable? The obvious costs which I would assume to be covered would be the travel expense including shipping of likely clothing and other valuables we’d want to take with us (see below), VISA, documentation etc.. But there are plenty of other expenses which I am not sure are a direct expense or not and therefore do not know whether to push for their inclusion? Such as preliminary trips to the location (with or without family) to visit potential areas to stay, temporary accommodation (hotel? Serviced apartments?) temporary car-hire? Getting US driving license? Storage of furniture and equipment back in the UK (for use in 3 years)? Relocation of household Pet? Advance on salary for settling in (and deposit for house rent etc.)?
- Are there costs in ‘moving’ money from my UK bank account to US (as part of the move) and also moving money back after 3 years? All being well, I am hoping for a sum of $300K-$500K to ‘return home’ with after the term
- What would a general/sensible approach be to finding accommodation – renting a hotel/serviced apartment for 1-2 months to allow us to visit neighbourhoods and find a suitable property which I assume would usually be on a 12 month contract?
- Use of storage for 3 years in UK – I am weighing up the pros and cons of renting out our current family house (3 bed Semi) furnished, which would likely mean we would not need to pay for any storage for the duration, and could make use of Parents’ house for storage of any equipment/items which we would not want to take with us, nor leave in the house (but want to use on our return). The alternative would be to empty the house and rent-out unfurnished and to likely incur costs of £10K-£13K overall to keep it in storage – which would certainly be worth more than the items/furniture themselves. I have read that there are insurance implications with renting out furnished houses and also that renters would be more likely to ‘move on’ in a furnished house. We’d not be fussed about the furniture being damaged, and we would probably replace on our return regardless, so with the potential extra rental cost there could be a £13K-£16K swing? What’s normal/usual to do in this situation?
- Is it considered normal to move into a fully unfurnished rental property and purchase new furniture? There doesn’t seem to be a market in either area for Furnished rentals, from what I have seen. Is it normal and reasonable to purchase mostly second hand furniture, electricals etc. at the start of the term and sell on after 3 years to recoup some funds? Or not realistic?
- (re: 2) What risks/outcomes could and should I be asking (vs mandating) my Employer to mitigate contractually? I’m acutely aware of the general ‘hire and fire’ culture in US although I have a very long tenure at this company (~25 years) and with the promotion/relocation being one of strategic importance (which the Company approached me on) I would have some reason to be confident that at least the company would not enforce a negative scenario on their terms?
- If the family doesn’t settle adequately in one of the locations, should I be able to relocate to the other? Accepting the company would not pay for that relocation
- If I elected to leave the company, I should be free to do so? Although it would mean having to find another company to sponsor VISA otherwise I would need to return home
- Protection against redundancy – moving to a general US contract would leave me with little protection and perhaps a standard ‘one week’ notice period. Should I request an abnormally long notice period – for example, 6 months? My priority would be to protect myself against the Company making me redundant, not giving myself the flexibility to move to another company whilst there (I have no desires to leave the company in the short or mid term). Assuming a notice period would maximise my chances to find alternative employment without having to go back home?
- Protection against dismissal/performance-related firing – could/should I request a bespoke compensation in the event of this? If I was to have to relocate back home with no VISA then I would incur additional relocation costs and also significant additional costs related to new agreements in the US (house rental etc.)
- (re: 3) Interested to know if there are others who have emigrated and any nasty surprises? For example, I have read about the challenge in building up credit rating in the US and how long that may take? I have a (UK) Amex card which I will port to a US card when over there and use it as much as possible and set up a US bank account as quickly as I can.
My Wife and I are very excited about the prospect, just trying to be as cautious as possible especially given this will be likely to move quickly!
Many thanks in advance

2024.05.14 18:35 Mark_Alpha_JDS Emigration Questions ($, Employer, Logistics) (UK -> US)
I’ve been blown away by the level of responsiveness and expertise from Redditors for a few related topics which have been a huge help to me. Thanks in advance for any feedback here and I hope I’m in the right place!
I’m in a level of ‘negotiation’ with my Employer (a global Tech company) about a relocation from Southend, SE England to either Alpharetta or Tampa as part of a promotion within my existing Team on what is expected to be a ‘3 year gig’ (at which point the company is expected to be sold which would inevitably see changes of personnel almost certainly those who I am currently ‘negotiating’ with!). Naturally there are a million and one things to consider, especially as a (married) father of two young children.
As I await more formal details of the offer (including the $!), I am trying to speed through all the various research needed which I am simplifying into the below, in order to make negotiations effective and ultimately lead up to a point where I will be able to make an actual decision (likely in the next two weeks)
My Wife and I are very excited about the prospect, just trying to be as cautious as possible especially given this will be likely to move quickly!
Many thanks in advance

As I await more formal details of the offer (including the $!), I am trying to speed through all the various research needed which I am simplifying into the below, in order to make negotiations effective and ultimately lead up to a point where I will be able to make an actual decision (likely in the next two weeks)
- Understanding the ancillary costs associated with relocating to the US as well as the expected on-going living costs in either location (to also include the likely requirement to relocate BACK in ~3 years time)
- Understanding which of the many risks associated with this opportunity I should attempt to have mitigated by my Employer
- Understanding any fundamental blockers/showstoppers that could prevent the move from being viable
- (re: 1) What are some of the more ‘obscure’ costs which I may not have factored in?
- I have been told informally that the company would fund my ‘relocation costs’ but those have not been specified and nor is there a dedicated function within my company to support this. I suspect the onus may be on me to even negotiate these elements. What could be considered normal and reasonable? The obvious costs which I would assume to be covered would be the travel expense including shipping of likely clothing and other valuables we’d want to take with us (see below), VISA, documentation etc.. But there are plenty of other expenses which I am not sure are a direct expense or not and therefore do not know whether to push for their inclusion? Such as preliminary trips to the location (with or without family) to visit potential areas to stay, temporary accommodation (hotel? Serviced apartments?) temporary car-hire? Getting US driving license? Storage of furniture and equipment back in the UK (for use in 3 years)? Relocation of household Pet? Advance on salary for settling in (and deposit for house rent etc.)?
- Are there costs in ‘moving’ money from my UK bank account to US (as part of the move) and also moving money back after 3 years? All being well, I am hoping for a sum of $300K-$500K to ‘return home’ with after the term
- What would a general/sensible approach be to finding accommodation – renting a hotel/serviced apartment for 1-2 months to allow us to visit neighbourhoods and find a suitable property which I assume would usually be on a 12 month contract?
- Use of storage for 3 years in UK – I am weighing up the pros and cons of renting out our current family house (3 bed Semi) furnished, which would likely mean we would not need to pay for any storage for the duration, and could make use of Parents’ house for storage of any equipment/items which we would not want to take with us, nor leave in the house (but want to use on our return). The alternative would be to empty the house and rent-out unfurnished and to likely incur costs of £10K-£13K overall to keep it in storage – which would certainly be worth more than the items/furniture themselves. I have read that there are insurance implications with renting out furnished houses and also that renters would be more likely to ‘move on’ in a furnished house. We’d not be fussed about the furniture being damaged, and we would probably replace on our return regardless, so with the potential extra rental cost there could be a £13K-£16K swing? What’s normal/usual to do in this situation?
- Is it considered normal to move into a fully unfurnished rental property and purchase new furniture? There doesn’t seem to be a market in either area for Furnished rentals, from what I have seen. Is it normal and reasonable to purchase mostly second hand furniture, electricals etc. at the start of the term and sell on after 3 years to recoup some funds? Or not realistic?
- (re: 2) What risks/outcomes could and should I be asking (vs mandating) my Employer to mitigate contractually? I’m acutely aware of the general ‘hire and fire’ culture in US although I have a very long tenure at this company (~25 years) and with the promotion/relocation being one of strategic importance (which the Company approached me on) I would have some reason to be confident that at least the company would not enforce a negative scenario on their terms?
- If the family doesn’t settle adequately in one of the locations, should I be able to relocate to the other? Accepting the company would not pay for that relocation
- If I elected to leave the company, I should be free to do so? Although it would mean having to find another company to sponsor VISA otherwise I would need to return home
- Protection against redundancy – moving to a general US contract would leave me with little protection and perhaps a standard ‘one week’ notice period. Should I request an abnormally long notice period – for example, 6 months? My priority would be to protect myself against the Company making me redundant, not giving myself the flexibility to move to another company whilst there (I have no desires to leave the company in the short or mid term). Assuming a notice period would maximise my chances to find alternative employment without having to go back home?
- Protection against dismissal/performance-related firing – could/should I request a bespoke compensation in the event of this? If I was to have to relocate back home with no VISA then I would incur additional relocation costs and also significant additional costs related to new agreements in the US (house rental etc.)
- (re: 3) Interested to know if there are others who have emigrated and any nasty surprises? For example, I have read about the challenge in building up credit rating in the US and how long that may take? I have a (UK) Amex card which I will port to a US card when over there and use it as much as possible and set up a US bank account as quickly as I can.
My Wife and I are very excited about the prospect, just trying to be as cautious as possible especially given this will be likely to move quickly!
Many thanks in advance

2024.05.14 18:01 litttlejoker Is there a point to having multiple travel credit cards? Should I close some down or renew?
I have 4 cards right now- Chase sapphire, United explorer, capital one venture x and Amex platinum. I travel frequently and my favorite card is by far the Amex. I feel like they have the best hotel selection, customer service and perks.
Is there a point to having all these different cards for travel? Or is it wiser to just put everything on one, maybe 2 cards (for backup), to maximize points? My husband likes having a lot of cards. I see it as a bit useless and would prefer to just focus getting more points on one. Maybe 2.
I don’t really want to renew my venture x. Had a terrible experience in a hotel stay with them a couple weeks ago. Customer service was bad.
Also not sure about renewing my Chase sapphire either. I am not fond of their interface or hotel selection and they have many of the same benefits as Amex.
I’m considering renewing my United explorer, but only because I can use my points to do so. But I don’t really find that card to be amazing either.
From what I hear these are the best cards for travel. I was considering opening a delta card, but I don’t really need another Amex. Since some places don’t take Amex I like having a visa/mc for backup.
Thoughts?
