Why does this bowl only have discussion over Visa and related issues. Don’t we have lighter topic to discuss ? Or even helping out each other with career related question or just fun things

OP - you can’t go find a lawyer for every single thing given the myriad of immigration issues one needs to face. People often look towards this forum for other experiences and general advice. They probably follow that up with a lawyer when they plan to make actual decisions.

Visa directly impacts career related questions. Immigration gone wrong may displace families, uproot careers etc. So it’s a very obvious why

Have you ever asked a random stranger for directions even though you have all the expert tech in the world or what zone they are boarding for an airline even though there is an official guy at the gate ? It’s human nature to get opinions from others, share experiences. Why do you need my opinion on fun activities if you can just google and in fact get expert reviews on virtually anything ?

Because most have come to this country wanting to do well and visa issues add to unnecessary stress. Collective sharing of info doesn’t hurt, it only helps relay information and reduces stress when we hear and share of similar stories.

OP - if you scroll through, there are other topics that get discussed as well.. From chai to cricket and what not. And if you have other topics in mind, please do post! What is stopping you? Why do you have a problem with visa topics if majority of the people want to discuss them? If you don't care for those topics, just scroll by. These are topics of serious concern for a lot of people on this bowl, even if they aren't for you and me

Hi everyone, I’ve been trying to land my first product design role and I can’t seem to get my foot in the door.

Any advice?
