Start lining up other interviews. If laid off can get a 6 month tourist visa. Make sure immigration documents are together and passport is not expired. Breathe

If you can afford it, you can take a leave of absence. Your H1B stops ticking at that time as well, I think but better clarify that with the lawyers

BIA Briefs: I’m an associate at an immigration law firm. I determined that immigration isn’t for me So I gave the managing partner my 2 weeks.

How I’m going to argue that the IC abused its discretion or misapplied the law when we made a facially insufficient argument for relief?

When building a new brand, who is the actual client? Who has the final say? Who should you really listen to if no one is taking the lead? The president of the company, the original owner, the financial money partner, the third party manager? Everyone seems to have a voice, but the main contact is the underling gathering and offering their own opinion, which strangely seems to be the most on point. How do you handle this type of situation?
