I’m planning to get married in a month and my PERM has been initiated. However, my future spouse just graduated and is looking for a job. Is applying for H4 status a viable option so she can remain in the US if she can’t find a job? TIA!

Ba careful she might lose OPT if changed to H4 status.

like

I'd say let her remain in OPT until such a time when you receive your I-140. Then if she still wasn't picked in her own H1 lottery, you can sponsor her H4+EAD.

like

Yes you could apply for H4 which would let her stay and find a job but she wouldn't be able to work on it since you don't have an approved I140.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.
