Hello, lets say my endeavor is about reducing costs in the public sector or whatever... how much is usually considered meaningful for the national interest? I know it varies a lot by field, but since the standard is “national” impact, I assume many cases ultimately relate to very large numbers.

Is there any sense of a floor in practice? Are we talking about something like $500K, $500M, or much higher? Curious how people think about this in real cases.

Do you feel it’s easier to get approved when your endeavor has a clear, measurable economic impact, like reducing costs, or when the value is more about contributing skills, knowledge, or people, like training others, even if it’s harder to quantify?

Which of these two options would you say is better: one that focuses on measurable financial impact, or one that focuses on training or creating an impact that isn’t necessarily financially measurable? Thanks

Hola gente, he notado que Aliexpress ahora cobra el IVA del 21%, entiendo que mandan el paquete tipo courier quitandote un cupo de los 5 envíos por año. Saben si es lo único que tengo que pagar? O cuando llega acá alguna compañia lo agarra y te cobra demás? Mail Americas pincha y corta algo de aca o eso es solo para los no couriers? Es mi primera compra despues de un largo tiempo no pidiendo y veo que todo cambió. Gracias

When writing the endeavor proposal, how much detail does USCIS actually expect? For example, if I say I will work with organizations, do they expect me to name specific ones? And if so, would they also expect letters or some kind of correspondence from them?

On the other hand, if I keep it more general and don’t name them, is that something that could be scrutinized or weaken the case?

Last year I heard from a lot of people whose petitions were not detailed and some USCIS officers were sending RFEs asking for corresponce showing interest or a more detailed plan of action, but the petitioners just sent carbon copies, another officer received and approved. Does that work on 2026? Is the bar higher? What do USCIS officers want? A clear plan of action year by year with the institutions involved and letters of interests included? Or the plan can be more brief? Thanks

Hello guys, does anybody know which one are the best earbuds for less than a $100 in terms of Noise Cancelling? I dont really mind the quality of the sound or the basses, as long as they are decent, I mainly use my earbuds because they are building some apartments close to me, so I need to reconnect with my studies and stuff.... so I put some music + activate the ANC, are the nothing earbuds A good for this? Thanks
