You regularly do those AMA. My question is: what motivates you to do them? Is it to promote your services? Is it to find talents for YC? Something else?
If someone, say a Canadian, overstays their tourist visa in the states by more than 6 months and are then banned from re-entering for 3 or 10 years, what are their options for fixing their immigration situation? If they receive a job offer (TN Visa or H1B) would that fix it?
Thank you
Hello Peter, Thank you for taking the time to provide insightful answers to our questions. My question concerns EB-1 visas and greencards for extraordinary ability. The usual route to prove 'extraordinary ability' seems heavily skewed towards those with scientific publications under their belt. Would it be possible to qualify for a software engineer leaning towards tangible tech contributions, for example significant…
Certainly "your field" per se, but if you follow up on clients I figured you might have a better clue than most.
US immigration? If I live past tomorrow, I want to leave the US. Idk how to even start.
One does not simply leave. You need permission from your destination to reside there. Tourism is different.

This isn't necessarily true: "at will" means a legitimate termination has no notice period. Employers are not allowed to fire employees for any reason, or to have an abusive employment environment. OP: any employment lawyer could also advise you on jurisdiction.
Employers are absolutely allowed to fire employees for any or no reason as long as the reason isn't specifically illegal (e.g. on the basis of race or gender).

Absolutely! Most of the EB1As we handle are not done for scientists, they are not done for those with a significant number of impactful publications, they are done for engineers and founders.
What are the biggest issues that you see in the immigration mechanism that the US currently has in place (in terms of tech work visas) and how can we improve upon them as a community? From your vantage point is the immigration mechanism (for tech) working effectively for its intention or does it not align with its stated intent?
