Are we able to apply for green card directly through F1 Visa without H1B?

Neither F1 nor H1 is relevant. You need some sort of sponsorship for applying. Could be based on spouse, parents, child, business investment, employer....... employer sponsored being what you are referring to H1B

It’s $900K for EB5 investment green card now. It was recently increased from $500K

You can but some companies might not want to do it if you don’t get H1B. I had a colleague who was on stem for 3 years, never got selected for H1B and uncle D refused to sponsor

I think it's the same for EY

Yes you just have a lot of travel restrictions and if there is a gap between F1 expiring and your GC application being finished you will need to take a leave of absence and not work. This route also really only works for ROW candidates- I’m currently going through this process

You could be sitting in your home country and have your FUTURE employer file an employment based GC for your FUTURE job.

If I am working on F1 but didn't get selected for H1B, will my employer still be able to initiate GC process for me?

And if you are from a high pop country, it's absolutely unlikely a company would apply GC without H1B. You wouldn't be able to work during your waiting time once your OPT expires.

yes...

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I. Emirates business class both ways for 2 people, 290k pts total or 145k each way for 2 tickets. Plus another 30k to get us round trip domestic connecting flights bringing the total to 320 points. This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?

I’m new to the immigration practice, and recently submitted an I-129 for 15 H-2B landscape workers. I knew the deadline would be close, but I convinced the client that we could take the chance. The cap count was reached after we submitted, so no approval. Is there any other avenue to bring over those workers or is he screwed?

I (36F) am married to another woman (34F) and we have a baby (5moF). We split all childcare, cleaning, meal prep, errands etc fairly evenly and it works well.
