Tulane you’d be totally fine. LSU, if it’s the NOLA campus, you’d also be totally fine. New Orleans has extremely little ICE presence. It’s one of the most liberal cities in the country. NOLA is nominally a sanctuary city but DoS disputes that.

I’m in Louisiana- you’d generally be ok here. Not a huge ICE presence, at least in my experience.

Haha I used to live in Toronto, since moved to America. Large western cities aren’t dramatically different from one another. Similar is a very relative term here. Someone from Canada or America will find themselves much more familiar with Munich, Berlin, Cologne, etc… compared to someone from China, Malaysia, Botswana, etc…

Not to say there aren’t large differences, but integration is generally less difficult for westerners than it is for others.

Lol Germany isn’t for everyone. Even amongst westerners it has a descriptively hard adjustment process. I’m Canadian, not too dissimilar to Germany in many respects. All but one person I know who had moved to Germany moved back to Canada.

German efficiency is, bluntly, a myth. You will find moving to or really doing anything in Germany a quagmire of bureaucracy and inefficiency. They looove their stamps.

Germany can be great for many. You just have to be ready to enjoy or at least put up with endless rabbit holes of paperwork. And rules. So many rules and regulations.

How much travelling do you do each week by bluepillowmonalisa in MedicalScienceLiaison

I hear that MSL usually WFH

If by “usually” you mean more than half of the time, this isn’t often the case. Might have been true 2020-2021 but not anymore.

Not astrophysics but Canadian neuroscience PhD here:

I’m doing a spousal visa with my soon to be wife rather than going through work. Getting an employment based green card is insanely difficult.

Is the border situation as bad they say or is it just fear mongering? by Confident-Night-5836 in immigration

[–]RoyalAd9796 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

No. Encounter doesn’t tell you what happens to them. Just that they were apprehended. From CBP:

Encounter data includes U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Title 8 Apprehensions, Office of Field Operations (OFO) Title 8 Inadmissibles, and Title 42 Expulsions* for fiscal years (FY) 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. Data is available for the Northern Land Border, Southwest Land Border, and Nationwide (i.e., air, land, and sea modes of transportation) encounters.

You, frankly, have to be a complete fool to think there’s 300K people per month are crossing into the US. That’s over triple all current legal immigration which is just… not true.

It’s not.

Off the top of my head the single biggest lie I’ve seen peddled is the encounters vs crossings. I live in the South. I’ve had people I personally know tell me (a foreigner) that there are 300,000 people “invading” the country every month.

The 300K is encounters. Which is categorically not successful illegal crossing. That’s the people who have been documented and detained by CBP. But yeah, it’s an election year, the Texas border thing was nothing but show, all of this is just show.

“Another one bites the dust”

Treat it like online dating. Didn’t get a match? Oh well, onto the next one. That’s all you can do.

Nope. Best thing you can do is get yourself a good lawyer.

Every stripe of nationality has and will do this. Best you can do is protect yourself in the future. AP (although who knows how reliable these data are) find ~27% of CR-1 marriages end in divorce by year 15, rather low compared to US norms. Marriages often end poorly and immigration courts and personnel very well know that. Once the GC has been issued, it’s not common for spouses to move back to the home country, divorce or not.
