Were you not aware of our current administration?

No I’m well aware of the situation. My comment was more a remark on the casual placement of a PSA of this magnitude.

Especially when placed casually along side APEX technical school and CUNY ads, like disappearing family members is a banal occurrence in this country now.

That’s always happened. If you are in the US “illegally” you pretty much don’t have any rights and can be detained for days without being able to contact anyone. It definitely sucks and makes me really think about going back to my country

🙃

You can attribute this to the imbecile in chief occupying the White House.

@O&M1 - so Trump set up this hotline? Or there were no detentions before this administration? Did Obama (and previous presidents) simply wave everybody through?

@Self-employed 1, if I may — While I’m not aware of the numbers on Trump, and I know that Obama deported more immigrants than any Commander in Chief before him, you can’t underestimate the impact that The Donald’s Nativist meanderings have had. It seems a very bad situation has only gotten worse

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

Hi all! To qualify for an L1A visa, do you have to be a senior manager / executive level or does it work as long as you’re a manager? I just moved out of the US because the H1b lottery didn’t work out for me, and I’m thinking rather than spending 1 or 2 years in my home country and go back as a senior, I’d much rather work here a bit longer, get that manager title, wait a year, and then go back as I think that would be the fastest route to green card..? Any thoughts/advice? I’m from 🇰🇷 :) TYI!!

I received an approval for H1B transfer but in my application it looks like they used the wrong I-94 number and last date of entry. I specifically provided the latest and correct one to them during preparation- anyone have any idea why they would do that? It seems like it would have been deliberate

During the VMAs last night there was a car commercial and all I have to say is that if your brand is picking a 5 year old Sia song that didn’t even chart too well as a song for a NEW commercial, you need to tap into culture a little bit.

I’m begging for a world where we stop using songs like this and Roar by Katy Perry as the standard backing tracks for boring ads.
