A friend told me that applying for a green card bans you from ever doing grad school in the USA. Can someone confirm?

This sounds incorrect ! The only thing I can think of is hat if you get through a job sponsorship you technically have to work there for a number of years after you get it (I think that it's 2), but there are ways to get around that one too. There might also be a constraint for the period during which they are processing you, but I thought that the min constraint then was around international travel.

Op your friend is bullshitting. I came on f-1 switched to h-1 and then gc. I had every intention to immigrate. You just "say" that when you are a student.

Nope. You need an interim visa- H-1 or F-1 to wait for the Green Card date.

Not true at all . Your fr is messing with you

No need to work anywhere for a number of years. Get the card then bounce.

He said his lawyer said that the F1 visa states that the person receiving it has no intentions to immigrate. The green card application is contradictory to this.

That's bull. My friend was on f1 and got his green card 2 months into mba. Thats the only reason he got his dream job (employer doesn't sponsor visas)

Getting a green card also bans you from having sex for life with an American - you are only allows to pro create with other immigrants.

@ EY 3: the mutual consent thingie overrides everything lol

I’m a business/commercial lawyer with 8 years experience looking to relocate to Chicago from NYC area, while also trying to make the jump to in-house after only ever working at a boutique firm. It’s been 5 months and I haven’t had any luck applying to job postings on the usual sites (no calls, no interviews, nothing). I can’t tell if this is due to covid, the market, the fact that I don’t have any in-house experience, the fact that I live out of state, or something else entirely. Any insights??

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?

Physician Assistant salaries in the Chicago Area? I’ve practiced at an AMC for 5.5 years and make around 116k salary. Outpatient surgical sub specialty, but the same salary “formula” as my previous role in urgent care in the same system. Another AMC offered me 124k 9 months ago for a similar role - which I turned down due to some red flags during interviews. Recently got a 10k retention bonus when I voiced my intent to leave but still feel underpaid as I’m literally keeping my practice afloat.
