Need some suggestions/input. I am currently on h1b, and my GC process started in Aug 2022. It is in job classification submitted to the DOL stage. The next steps would be the Perm filing and the I140 application process. Based on the current timelines, it may take around 1.5 years to get i140 approved for my case from now. So the question is, my to-be spouse works at Deloitte India. What are the best options? More details in 1st comment

I have an approved I140 from previous employer and current employer hasn’t started GC yet. Been on H1B since 10 years now, so if my new GC doesn’t start before my H1B is up for approval in 2023 cont.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
