As someone with a pending AoS, I completely understand the panic, but before we assume the worst it’s important to remember that there will certainly be lawsuits and legal challenges filed quickly. This doesn’t just affect individuals it impacts major employers, universities, hospitals, tech companies & entire industries that rely on legal skilled immigrants. Those groups have a lot of legal & financial leverage.

seek advice, but try not to spiral

There will be no lawsuit since there is no change in law here. They are just trying to strictly enforce it. That being said, folks on employment visa with no criminal or immigration history should still be able to adjust status

I agree, given there is no point. Only time will tell.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

I am looking for a new job at the end of a long career. I have excellent experience in IP and Supply Chain Management. I've been fortunate to be in a high-paying position in the Los Angeles area and I rarely see comparable positions posted. The comparable positions at my company are filled by one of the big executive search firms. Any recommendations for finding the rare executive-level legal positions or for landing on the radar of the big executive search firms would be much appreciated!
