Trump just signed an EO banning any new work visas.

Do in house counsel jobs offer green cards as part of the offer? Anyone has any experience with this? I’m currently at a firm on H1B and figured law firms are more likely to sponsor it before I head to in house, but wondering what companies’ policies are...halp!

I'm working in the US under H1B, I got a chance to face an interview for another company. My current company started the PERM application also and results will be out within the next 3 months.

How long will my green card application delay if I move to a new company and start to apply for a green card from scratch?

Since EY Law does not provide evidence of filling for H1b, how sure can one be that the company really filed for them? With the high rate of H1b denials, I doubt EY Law really filed for everyone.

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise.

I just started a new job almost two months ago and they are a really small place which brings some disorganization and fast paced work...

I’m totally empathetic to people that miss offices and traveling. I understand your reasons why, I truly do.

For me personally, after non-stop weekly travel for 4 straight years, not traveling has made me realize how much I enjoy being home. Spending time with family, sleeping in your own bed, consistent exercise schedule, etc.

I for one hope consulting becomes more of a hybrid travel model (i.e. travel 1-2x per month or as needed). Else it won’t be for me.

Anyways, just some thoughts.
