i see my buyers are giving me ratings but i cant see them in performance tab. is it a glitch ?

I’m a Band 10 Consulting employee at IBM USA, and my manager just told me that this year’s raises were basically nonexistent for anyone Band 8 and above and that Band 10s got no increases at all across IBM USA.

Can anyone here confirm if that’s actually true? This sounds wild.

Hey everyone,

Posting this on behalf of a friend. We’re trying to connect with India-born L-1A visa holders who filed an EB-1C I-140 back in September 2024 under regular processing and are still waiting for adjudication.

Since it's been about 21 months, we want to see how many people from this specific batch are facing the same backlog. If you're in the same boat, could you share:

• Filing Date: (e.g., Sept 15, 2024)
• Service Center: (e.g., Texas or Nebraska)
• Current Status: (e.g., Case Was Received / RFE Issued)
• Premium Upgrade?: Are you planning to upgrade to PP, or just waiting it out?

We know regular processing timelines are completely all over the place right now. Any data points or shared experiences would be highly appreciated.

Good luck to everyone waiting out this backlog!

Parents in the Georgetown area. I’d appreciate your advice. My girl plays tennis, and is also an active horse rider. I’m trying to find a solid fitness or conditioning program to support both sports. Safety and respectful coaching are very important to us. If you’ve found a gym, trainer, or youth program that worked well for your kids, I’d love to hear your recommendations.

Thinking about trying Fidelity’s advisory service, where you get a team of advisors and they manage your portfolio for you (minimum $50k requirement option).

Before I get into it I wanted to know the consensus and experiences with this program/offering.

How were your returns? And what was your risk profile like?

What were the fees, and were they reasonable?

What were the main benefits and annoyances?

Basically is this worth getting into vs. fidelity go vs. a competitor?

size of investment i am considering is ~150k+

Thanks
