Has anyone ever told a partner they need to take a PTO day for interviews? Seems like a terrible idea, but potentially a great thread

What benefit could possibly come of this. At least have an offer and an exit strategy before telling a partner you are thinking of leaving.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

Is a 601 waiver required for having done unauthorized work in the US? Client is married to US citizen, and applying for GC overseas. Never overstayed, but did work illegally here in the past.
