Should I get a buzz cut? I’m finding it annoying needing to style my hair (bangs are kinda longer). Any advice about what to do would be great. I usually just put some pomade in it or texture spray and call it good.

I will be working for a university in Milan as a post-doc. I am from the US. The university will apply for my nulla osta in late May. Is it likely that I will have it by late August?
I've lived in the Philadelphia consulate's jurisdiction for six years — driver's license, tax records, the whole paper trail. I've been in NC for graduate school, but my lease there expires May 27, and by August (when I need to apply for my Italian work visa) I'll be staying with friends and family in Michigan.
My instinct is that I have the strongest case to apply through the Italian Consulate in Philadelphia, given my long-established ties there — even though I won't technically have a current lease in that jurisdiction at the time of application.
My worry is that without an active NC address, the Philadelphia consulate won't accept my application — but I also have no Michigan license, lease, or documentation to apply through Detroit.
Has anyone successfully applied through a consulate based on historical ties (license, taxes, prior residence) rather than a current lease? Did the consulate push back, or was the documentation enough? Should I just use the Philly consulate and use the address of a friend in NC on the visa application form? Any advice appreciated! 🙏
I will be starting a postdoc at Bocconi University in Milan later this year. As an American with a U.S. PhD and no current work authorization in Italy, the university must first obtain a nulla osta from the Prefecture in Milan. Only after that is issued can I apply for a visa.
The professor I will be working with is adamant about me starting as soon as possible and is well connected politically. In practice, does that ever help expedite the process?
More generally, does anyone have a sense of how long this typically takes? I’m also wondering whether the relative simplicity of my case (no dependents, just a single applicant) has any impact on processing time.
I’ll be starting a postdoc at Bocconi and am an American with a US PhD. Since I don’t currently have working rights in Italy, the university will first need to obtain a nulla osta from the Prefecture in Milan. Only after that’s approved can I apply for a visa.
Does anyone have a sense of how long the nulla osta process typically takes, especially in Milan? I realize this is a student forum, but I’d really appreciate any insight from postdocs or other non-students at Bocconi.
Thanks in advance!
A PI in Italy has opened a position with the intention of hiring me. He explicitly told me that he is opening the position to hire me. He also told me that he designed the job advertisement around my profile.
I am an American with a U.S. PhD, not Italian, and I interacted with him on one occasion several months ago. How confident can I be that I will be selected through this process?
