Real ID

Hi everyone, not sure this is the right place for this question, but I’ll ask. Here’s my situation:

  1. My initial H1B is expiring on September 30, 2026. My stamp is expiring on September 14, 2026.
  2. H1B extension is gonna be filed by the end of August, 2026.
  3. I also have a pending 485. I’m current and waiting for an approval (any day now). I have received EAD/AP in March and it’s valid for 18 months.
  4. I live in Northern California.

My question is “Can I use a valid EAD/AP card to get a RealID without abandoning my H1B extension/status?” I know DMV is not a federal agency, but they’ll use SAVE System to verify my status. Have you done something similar?

Shoe options

So I’ve been doing small 9-10 mile walks around town in my Altra Lone Peak 9-s (zero drop, mid support trail runners). I used the same pair to hike Mt Whitney in 2 days (backpacking 21 miles). Everything seemed normal. Today, I decided to walk in them for 46 miles along El Camino Real from Santa Clara to San Francisco in a day. Bear in mind, this is a thoroughfare street with concrete and asphalt sidewalks. After 26 miles, I had to stop because my feet were hurting so bad, it was hard to take steps. No blisters, no apparent injury. So now I’m questioning whether these are the right shoes for El Camino. I was hoping to walk around 15-18 miles a day with a base weight of under 8 pounds. Any thoughts? Will I need more cushioning? Thank you!

Parking over Sunday

Hi everyone. I’m not affiliated with SCU, but I would like to park my car on/near campus on Sunday from 1am till 11pm. I know I can park at Caltrain Station for $5.50, but is it possible to get a visitor parking on campus (or for free)? Thanks! P.S. Is the campus free to walk around at night or is it closed to public? I’d like to take photos of the church/mission

HVD and Transit Value

I have around $4 on BART HVD. Since I don’t use BART for small rides, most of my rides end up costing over $6. How can I exhaust HVD money? Why doesn‘t BART charge both HVD and transit value in combination? Thanks!

Muna Restaurant

What are the chances of getting off the waitlist for Muna? I was checking every day for online reservation to open and somehow I still didn’t get a table. Instead they asked to join a waitlist. Sorry, if this is not relevant to this sub
