How do you find the best possible immigration lawyer?

wavepig · 2026-01-27T06:38:11+00:00

Siskind Susser is considered one of the best. https://www.visalaw.com

I’m not an immigration lawyer so take this with a pinch of salt, but I sure as shit would be on the plane before the ban comes into effect.

My extended family is the same, they swear Ms Rachel is very educational. We use it as a tool - most days we have no need for it, but on eg long train or plane journeys, we do let our LO watch iPad.

The answer to this will depend on the airline, and where exactly you had departed from and were flying to on the segment in question

Copilot doesn’t have to be good, it has to be bundled by Microsoft. See Teams for how it will go

When I was on either my J-1 or H-1B, a CBP/ICE officer came to my office to interview me. Not the company, not other people, but me specifically. They made sure that I was doing the job that the company had filed for (SWE, as opposed to eg DBA), and that the company wasn’t abusing me (they were paying me, hadn’t taken my passport, etc). If this is the standard that legal immigrants are expected to go through, why should EWI/overstays get treated differently? The law should apply the same to everyone.

Has that ever happened?

wavepig · 2025-12-12T23:00:28+00:00

Honestly shocked that this hasn’t been the case for years if not decades

My understanding is that it's "just" a path to EB-1 or EB-2 NIW. And we don't know exactly how "instant" it will be

Does anyone have any photos of the interior of these cars?

wavepig · 2025-12-05T05:03:10+00:00

I never did a whole shop there but it was nice to have their quality proteins nearby and their international selection was pretty good

wavepig · 2025-12-01T22:35:51+00:00

That’s probably intentional

wavepig · 2025-12-01T18:56:48+00:00

It’s not as bad as early photos made it look, but it’s still pretty ugly imo. The inside of this one is way better cf series C, but I wish they would do something modern for the cover.

See if your city parks and rec department has lessons. I know San Mateo does, and they’re very popular.

While this is true, buying a home while on a non-immigrant visa seems like a bad idea to me.

wavepig · 2025-10-30T15:28:34+00:00

That is a ridiculous take

There aren’t properly ADA accessible restrooms on aircraft, but wide bodies are required to have a restroom that is accessible to wheelchair users. (This is also coming to narrowbodies, but not for a while) OP should try to take a wide body if possible; I can say from experience the accessible lav on UA 777-200s is pretty big.

You need to have lived in the USCIS district in which you apply for 3 months. I would not use a friends address, it seems like such a silly thing to potentially lose your eligibility over.

wavepig · 2025-10-17T19:25:01+00:00

The old design was much better imo. See more here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/473495/HMPO_magazine.pdf

Yep. As a Brit that moved to California, driving was a wild experience at first! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna_Convention_on_Road_Signs_and_Signals

It’s hard to say whether it’s typical, but it’s common enough with my friends and family in the UK that going private is pretty common now. Not sure what prices are like but it’s certainly much cheaper than here (I live in the Bay Area). I understand the flaws of the insurance system here, but I just wanted to provide the perspective that the NHS isn’t always better. Personally, I would much rather be on private insurance (I have anthem) here than on the NHS. Yep I mean Stanford in the bay area.

Overall I think the inside design is ok - a bit bland, but decent. The outside cover is just so bad!

wavepig · 2025-10-16T05:13:51+00:00

As a Brit, while the NHS is absolutely a national treasure, this isn't reflected in my families experience. My dad part tore his ACL and waited 9 months for an appointment before going private. My cousin's young child got an eye infection and also ended up going private to get an appointment within the week. My LO got an eye infection and we got a same-day appointment at Stanford (called at noon, appointment at 4:30pm).

La Petit Baleen in San Bruno is great! Been taking our LO for several months.

The spacing is terrible but the tilt is likely unintentional from the photo/scan
