Earlier quoted context omitted.
I still think it's extremely unlikely. In other immigration contexts, "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" has been interpreted to exclude only diplomats and those not subject to the laws of the U.S. even though they are in the U.S. So children born in the U.S. to diplomats aren't considered citizens at birth.
The same is true for people born into war zones not fully under US control. I still wouldn't write this off. All it takes is a compelling argument for a new interpretation of "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". It's pretty easy to make a compelling argument. The 14th Amendment was intended to address the citizenship status of freed slaves and their descendants post-Civil War. It was not meant to apply to the c…
some incomplete notes on my recent o1 . i recommend minn at lighthousehq, tell her i said hi https://github.com/swyxio/swyxdotio/issues/477
Hey Peter! Thanks for doing this! I’m trying to understand the dual intent nature of O1A. I’m a PhD student with EB2-NIW and EB1A approved. Unfortunately, I am not expecting a green card in the next 6-12 years due to my country of birth. I am eligible for O1A, but it seems like the dual-intent of O1A seems to be in grey area unlike H1B. Would I have any issues with O1A stamping in foreign embassies or during reentry…
Hi Peter! Thank you for doing this. I'm a software engineer with 3 years of experience and a MSc degree in computer science. I'm currently working in a big tech company in the UK and I would like to move to the US in the near future. At the moment I'm more leaning toward an L1 because I don't have to go through the lottery but I'm exploring other scenarios. Would you recommend trying to move to the US with an L1 or a…
I assume L1B because you mentioned “engineer” instead of “manager.” I’m currently on an L1B visa, which is a three-year dual-intent visa extendable for another two years. This should provide ample time to initiate and complete a Green Card application under Employment-Based 2nd preference. However, I would consider choosing the H1-B visa for the following reasons: It’s getting harder to get L1-B because USCIS are ask…
What are better chances O1 or H1B? Still need apply for a visa waiver due to a record on my file. For O1 - I have a company - I'm getting published soon (Springer Nature. I only have a Bachelor in Science) - I have articles written about me - I published 2 articles in a large newspaper - I was a judge at a hackathon
Hi Peter, Thank you so much for doing this. I just moved to the USA as J2-Dependant. I have already submitted form I-765 to get a work permit (EAD) but this can take between 3 and 4 months. A European company that just opened an office in the USA would love to hire me but might not want to wait that long. Is there anyway to speed up the process by them sponsoring me?
Any pitfalls to watch out for for Canadians on the TN? Specifically during this next administration?
Hello, I am a computer science research engineer with 2 years of experience in a non-U.S. big tech company research center in Europe. Before that, I worked as a research fellow at the university after I got my master degree. During that time I published 4 papers, and I was a reviewer for a CS journal (even though I actually reviewed only 1 paper). I actually have 60-70 citations of my works (if it might be relevant i…
