Unpopular opinion: is it really that bad that Trump is making it impossible for people who rely on government assistance to get green card? Shouldn't green card be merit based?

I thought it was for citizenship. The financial independence regulation for getting a green card has always been there. Same as the requirement for carrying it all the time.

I think part of the reason to not be strictly merit based is for familial ties. eg. If my parents lived with me and retired, I would take care of them. They wouldn’t need go on gov’t assistance but they wouldn’t be eligible for a green card.

When you think of Green Care based solely in qualified workers, then yes. But what happens when you start considering asylees?

Hi Fishes, Is it possible to process h1b as cap exempt if I had worked on USA in h1b status for few months and if the visa is expired now, once I join a new employer.

Any parents under H1B? I was@looking to get an au pair for kids and got to know that I cannot host one because I don’t have a green card yet. Any options? I heard people get au pairs that have another year remaining in their visa but couldn’t find one yet

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

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
