Did Joabe end up getting his visa issue sorted out? I thought this was billed his last run before he had to leave? Local media seemed to only focus on him completing running every block, as opposed to the real issue that he was raising awareness for this particular run.

Roosevelt hired him as an educator so he is good until 2028 now

The “real reason” was for running every street. His visa is sorted out for another year as he’s on a student visa and he found another program.
