Do you think there will be less competition in the lottery for 2021 because of the economic downturn?
Because I have the option of graduating earlier and make that deadline or graduate normally and apply in 2022.
Thanks. Also how competitive is the lottery nowadays?
Hey Peter, as of about two months ago, I have an approved I-140 and a pending I-485. I also just last week completed an H-1 transfer valid for 2 years. I'm a California resident. With everything going on: (1) If I went to stay with my family in Canada (I am a Canadian citizen) until this blows over, would I, as things stand today, be allowed to return to the US? (2) Given office closures and general craziness, is the…
1) Would you be returning to the US to work for your H-1B employer. If so, without knowing all the facts, you should be fine. 2) I'm not sure what you are asking here.
(2) Yeah it's probably not a super useful question, just confirming AC-21 clock starts when the I-485 is filed and in spite of office closures / delays en route (my biometrics appointment just got cancelled) that remains unchanged.
My cofounder and I were meant to start the O-1 application, however given the current pandemic how do you see it affecting such applications? Does it make sense to still start it now given that it's unclear how long this will last for?

Peter, have you ever seen small companies (15 employees) getting approved for L1A visa ? The company has a foreign subsidiary where some team members work even though overall we are a small firm.

Hi Peter, I run callenq.com, a company that helps tax attorneys skip the IRS telephone hold time when they call the IRS. Is there a market for this type of service for immigration attorneys? Are the hold times long and do you need to call several times a week? USCIS Call Center Agent (800-375-5283) National Visa Center Officer (603-334-0700)
How on earth do I get an SSN? I'm supposed to start work next week and I'd love to get paid eventually.
This may appear as off-topic compared to other questions here. I am interested to know what software you use as part of your daily work. So, what software do you use and what piece of software is missing for attorneys ?
As a Canadian, does the lack of a college degree significantly act as a disadvantage for visa programs such as TN/H1-B ? In the case of a pressing move to the US, what would be some options for someone with no degree?
I think things can be easier once you've worked for the company for over a year
