H1B visa holders still waiting for green card, if this madman goes completely cuckoo on us, what countries would you consider relocating to? Also is it presumptuous to assume the firm will help?

Any of you suggesting Canada ever worked here? I moved due to visa reasons, and it's pretty bad up here. It's just like consulting in developing countries (ghosting ton of hours, $30-100k projs, dictator bosses...), but with a cold weather and very discreet forms of xenophobia (like 1y Canadian work experience requirement for pretty much any job).

Client base is way smaller, and most of the projs are sold through random RFPs in which the client squeezes till the point of making staffing a goal seek exercise in excel. I've heard crazy things like "for this proj we'll have 0.15 director, 0.1 manager, and 0.5 SA".

Are initial law firm consultations usually free? I’m on H1B and wanted to schedule an initial consultation with an immigration lawyer to discuss some GC options (outside of employment based) and was told I’d have to pay $200 for a consultation (45 mins session).

Has anyone been successful in negotiating the schedule on a global pregnancy bill? My provider won't bill by visit and split the global cost into four payments all due by the 28th week. I don't understand how that's legal since it is so off the calendar of services and crosses calendar years (and insurance coverage), where most costs are incurred at the end of pregnancy with increased visit frequency and delivery.
