Just 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.

I don't think they were addressing you.
They said “people [are] being grabbed off the street for being brown”—if that were true, I feel like I would have noticed.
You are a sample of '1' and you don't get to invalidate other people's experiences based on your own. The only reason you do not notice, given that it is true is because you would either rather have it not be true or because you are actively working not to notice.
I know this is a general question, but: Assuming a US startup is considering engineering hires outside the United States, how does one currently assess the likelihood of getting them a visa to work in the USA? And what timeline and cost would be involved?
Unfortunately, a case by case analysis would be required. However, if they are from a country with its own visa (that is, Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and Chile), it's relatively easy to get engineers visas.
I'm a US citizen and my girlfriend is Iranian. She's been in the states for 7 years, first on a student visa then applied for her green card 1.5 yrs ago on NIW, currently "pending status change".

In her specific situation, would marriage provide a more robust chance of having her GC application approved? Is it even possible to re-apply for the GC while she's in the current "pending status change" state?

It is true. There are 100's (probably 1000's) of confirmed news stories by now. Just like people get into car accidents is real, even if you personally haven't been in a car accident yet. And people dying is real, even if you are still alive. You are a sample of '1' and you don't get to invalidate other people's experiences based on your own. The only reason you do not notice, given that it is true is because you wou…

It's in general possible to only access social media via browser, not apps.
Which makes no difference since they’ll just ask you for your social media handles.

That doesn't make any sense. I'd need to know all the facts to advise. Please send me an email to schedule a call (proberts@robertsimmigration.com). Which Consulate is she applying through?
Isn't 1-2 year wait time standard for spousal immigration?
Extremely frustrating process to say the least (my Taiwan resident card was sorted in less than a month).
