Some positive energy peeps....H1b extension applied on 10/5 and got approval today

I took on a pro bono immigration case through my firm and made a (justifiable) mistake. No one was overseeing me. I’m worried for my client and I’m also worried about a motion to reopen/ineffective assistance of counsel argument. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

Hi, I am travelling to Poland on work visa in January 2023. Also I am getting married in December 2022. I am thinking of getting my spouse name added in my passport. Will my work visa will still remain valid in my old passport? Or there will be issues at immigration?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone here went on Day 1 CPT and then got h1b?

Hey guys, what Day 1 CPT method do you all take? I heard there are online and hybrid options. Just curious if the online option can hinder the h1b process. Is hybrid a safe option to go for the h1b process?

Hi Fishes,

My sibling (from India) applied for Canadian Visa for study permit (2 years) and it was rejected stating the reason "the IRCC agent was not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay.
The intake was in Jan 2023.

Should we apply again? Has anyone ever experienced this and would appreciate if they can guide me? I'm really worried and emotionally tormented. Need urgent help.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Hi everyone, I’m in need of prayers. My mom was admitted into the hospital recently, but they just found some nodules in her lungs. Their default diagnosis is cancer, and she does have a past history of colon cancer. Please keep her and my family in your prayers.

I do hope this message encourages you to hug your loved ones a little tighter tonight ❤️
