I hold a GC and have been working outside the US on reentry permit. The latter has already been renewed once, expiring again in Q1 2021. Two questions:
1. Do you anticipate any impact of changing policies on people holding GCs but working outside?
2. What would be the best time to apply for a third extension of the reentry permit, given the pandemic situation.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for doing this!
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but I thought I'll try because I couldn't find much information online. My neighbor is a really nice undocumented immigrant family. The family has 2 hard working kids who used to tutor others kids in the neighborhood to make income. They are now suffering because they don't have work and they need help. I have been giving them a monthly stipend to help them pay for food…
This is the executive order I am talking about: ttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspending-entry-aliens-present-risk-u-s-labor-market-following-coronavirus-outbreak/
As an immigration lawyer, you undoubtedly see the complexity and huge volume of paperwork needed for even talented and skilled immigrants to this country. They approach a book sized application.
Do you ever find it inequitable or frustrating, that some classes of immmigrants are by comparison, basically waved through? What things about the immigration / visa system would you recommend immediately be changed or fixed to improve our situation?
How as an American can I get into an EU country in current year? Is there any loophole/procedure/test/bribe one can do to make this happen?
IANAL, but am an American in the UK... I can say w/ reasonable certainty that you can go to Ireland or the UK now, if you can get a flight. You'll need to spend 14 days in quarantine. Good sources of information: - US Embassy for the country you want to travel to - Expat groups on Facebook w/ personal reports on what does and doesn't work - https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/
German citizen here. Q1) What is (/are) the easiest path(s) to start a company in the US and/or seek funding there for Europeans? How costly is it? Q2) If there's already a company registered in Germany for example, how costly (approximately) is the process to "register a subsidiary" in the US (required for YC), and how would the visas work? (Would spouses be allowed and be able to get a working permit?)
If you are or have been a technology startup employee, founder, or investor, can you take a few minutes to complete this survey: https://lnkd.in/gSuxfUJ ?
Your answers will help produce a report about the role of immigrants in the tech startup ecosystem.
It matters to me, because over the past 15 years, I have been under a bunch of different visas (J1, F1, H-1B). I believe that I, like many other immigrants in the technology startup world, helped create thousands of jobs in the US. I want to get data to show it and ultimately share around.
(And sorry if it's a bit off topic)
Have there been any substantial strides made on merit-based immigration as a partial alternative to the current H1B status? How would that affect the current startup ecosystem?
