Am currently on H1b status and have been since oct 2019 (so no h1b visa stamp in passport). I am planning to travel to Hong Kong to get my visa stamping done. Does Trump’s proclamation prevent me from entering the States before 2021?

Short answer, yes. You didn’t have a visa stamp at the time he made that proclamation and assuming he lets it expire at the end of the year without extending it, you can get a new stamp only in 2021.

I am the world's worst flier. I hate flying so much and usually sit and cry the entire flight from fear and anxiety. Ever since I had my kid, who is now a teenager, it's gotten even worse. I am so afraid something will happen to me that will leave him without a mother. Yes, I know the statistics on crashes. It's not just that. It's the fact that I've had two superficial blood clots in my legs in the past (not DVT), had covid last year and really don't want to get it again (more in comments)

Hi there!
I completed the last round of an interview (presentation) last week. Originally they said they would be calling my references & then make an offer accordingly.
Today they updated that they'd like me to travel to their HQ (based in Nordics & I'm in London) for the final round where I'd meet the CEO, the hiring manager and a couple of people in the team.
I don't think I'm the only one in the process - even though initially the last round was the presentation.
What are your thoughts?

Do I need to go for stamping if I change employer and receive new i-797 while visa stamp in passport still valid.

My husband and I used to be very affectionate. We used to take at least 2 hrs everyday just to give each other emotional space. We would talk about what we’re feeling and why and so on. It used to be so fulfilling and beautiful.
But since we had a kid, all conversations are with a purpose. It’s either planning the next day, the next move, finances, etc. Amidst this, we lost focus on each other.
