It is always harder to find a job if you are not a resident. I made a plan to find an employer to sponsor me since first semester of law school and it has worked well for my wife and I.
We were sponsored and had our petitions approved. Now we are waiting for the insane amount of time needed to get it all finally sorted out by the immigration agency.
I’m happy to help with anything I can.

So stuck. What do I do? I joined this firm a year ago (4 yrs exp total) to grow/get more court/client exposure. Then 2 more-experienced associates were hired, pandemic, & all cases are divided between the other 2. I have no defined tasks except deficiency letters or the odd pro bono case. Boss claims it's mentoring. I still need to meet bill req.

Last wk Boss said I'll do more & my work was good, but today said I can't 2nd chair bc I don't have experience. I'm doing less now than my prior firm.
