#82Someone studied in the US under a F1 visa and a scholarship. No other substantial income other than that. This person while in the U.S. had to file tax forms, although there was no tax to be paid because this person had no income outside the scholarships. The student finished the studies in, say, October last year and then left the country for his home country. The student graduated and does not intend to return to t…
Pretty sure the best time to file tax-related stuff is before it's due and the second-best time is immediately after you become aware of it. Filing late is almost guaranteed to be better than not filing at all, and if there was no tax due then I suspect there also won't be late filing penalties.

#83Thanks for the AMA Peter! Do you think there are risks involved with leaving (and hence returning to) the country on a Green Card?
I don't but a quick discussion with an immigration attorney to make sure that there are no hidden issues probably isn't a bad idea.

#84What do you consider the probability that there will ever be free elections in the US again? Please answer with a value between 0 and 1.

#85Just a high level question. My youngest son was adopted. He isn't white. He is naturalized. Should we go ahead and renew his passport so he can carry around a passport card at this point(we never got one in the past because they seemed like a waste). It seems crazy but with people being grabbed off the street for being brown, it seems prudent have a quick way to prove citizenship.
It's awful to have to consider these things. But since you ask, he also could carry his naturalization certificate. The other option is to get a Certificate of Naturalization but that's akin to getting a passport.

#86How has AI impacted your profession?
In a limited way. Where it has impacted our clients is it has made it much easier for them to get reference letters when reference letters are required. But our basic every day work is largely unaffected by AI. So far.

#88Should individuals on a green card be concerned about anything, such as criticizing this administration?

That’s a very valid question. However, I’m not sure why an immigration attorney would be able to answer it.

At $22/h you are actually competing with offshore workers in remote low COL locations.
How would you justify it's you should get the work/money, not imigrant worker? The fact your parents immigrated earlier than they should justify it in your opinion?
