Been unemployed for almost a year despite aggressively looking for a job (based in APAC region). Just because I worked at Facebook, ppl think I have it easy and shouldn’t worry but with all the visa restrictions before and everything, it’s so hard to find a job. I’m srsly battling anxiety everyday in this job search process. Is there even light at the end of the tunnel? Seems like a long tunnel right now

Sending you empathy and hope 🤗 there is light at the tunnel!

Year-long job hunts are unfortunately not that uncommon, even in specialized fields! Even if companies/recruiters have not yet caught up to the fact that employment gaps right now are the norm, you are not alone - if you have the funds to keep going, don't stress, you are doing well, you got this! Make sure you are staying on top of your budget (I know how anxiety reduces the mental energy to spend on things - if money is tight, put your mental energy towards your budget first). You will be ok!!!

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 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

Hi everyone, I am a French Anaplan Consultant and I am looking to move to the US in 2 years.
Do you know if Anaplan Consultants are in demand ? Are companies willing to sponsor H1B visas for consultants ?

Currently on an F-1 visa & wondering if any of the firms are hiring foreign students. In the last 6 months, during interviews, I’ve been told I can’t be moved to the next step cuz of my visa status.

Do I need to inform the USCIS/DHS I gained another citizenship? FYI I'm on a working visa specific for a certain country.

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…

How do you deal with irrational anxiety whenever your boss is saying “hey let’s schedule 1:1, I’ve got a few things to discuss”? I’ve never had a bad performance rating before, quite the opposite I have received positive feedback. I also know 99% of the time this meeting is harmless and my anxiety has been proven wrong many times. But I’m still always on edge whenever this kind of meeting is scheduled. 😩

Also, yes I do go to therapy and have discussed this issue, but it hasn’t helped
