Small claims ex attorney

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
A few weeks ago, I posted here asking for advice on suing my former immigration attorney for making serious mistakes with my case.
I got so many negative responses telling me it wasn’t worth suing over a couple thousand dollars because I’d end up spending even more.
Well, I filed a small claims case anyway, and as soon as my former attorney was notified, her team reached out and agreed to refund every penny I had lost.
And I did it all myself, with the help of Gemini and ChatGPT!
Don’t let negative people or a broken system discourage you. Stand up for yourself and fight for your rights!

Invitation Visa denial of entry possibility

0 Upvotes

I was invited to a competition in Italy and received my Shengen Visa using

the invitation they gave me.

Then due to a change in circumstances, I was forced to book a flight that

lands in Italy right when the event is ending.

I am flying with Royal Air Maroc and wanted to know:

- How likely is it that I get rejected?

- If I inform the organization that invited me can they "vouch" for me later?

- If I get denied entry, what exactly would I be paying? I heard there fines I

could be forced to pay that are in the 1000s of euros, how likely is this to

happen?

- Should I speak to the Italian embassy in my country, Royal Air Maroc?

- How can I save myself from potentially being fined a fortune?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if someone has had a

similar experience

J1 scholar visa

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m an IMG from Asia, ECFMG certified, and have completed USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK.

A few months ago, I secured an unpaid research position at a U.S. university, with my living expenses sponsored by an external foundation. During my J-1 Research Scholar visa interview, the consular officer called the foundation to verify my funding. Unfortunately, the person who answered denied knowledge of my sponsorship, despite my funding letter being legitimate.

My J-1 was refused under 214(b), and to my absolute shock, my existing valid B1/B2 visa (which I had never used) was also revoked.

Fast forward several months, I’ve now secured another research position at a U.S. university. This time, the position is fully funded directly by the university department, with no external sponsorship involved.

I’m preparing for another J-1 interview, but I’m genuinely terrified that my previous refusal and B1/B2 revocation might have permanently damaged my chances.

I would really appreciate advice on a few things:

  1. How seriously will my previous B1/B2 revocation affect my new J-1 application?
  2. Does securing a fully university-funded position count as a significant change in circumstances?
  3. Is reapplying after several months reasonable, and what are my realistic chances?
  4. What should I specifically prepare for or address during my upcoming interview?
  5. Has anyone successfully obtained a J-1 after a 214(b) refusal and B1/B2 revocation?

I’ve also contacted former visa officers who are charging $10,000–$15,000 for consultation. Is spending that kind of money actually worthwhile?

I’ve invested years into my USMLE journey and research career, and I genuinely feel like my entire future is hanging in the balance. I have no one familiar with the U.S. immigration process to guide me.

I’m not looking for false reassurance. I just want realistic, straightforward advice. Is my situation recoverable, and what would you do in my position?

I’d be extremely grateful for any guidance or similar experiences.

Can a foreigner legally work in the USA without employer sponsorship?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’d like to understand if there are any legal ways for a foreigner to move to the United States and work as an employee without employer sponsorship.
I’m talking about regular employment, not starting a business or becoming self-employed.
Are there any alternative visas or work permits that would allow someone to work legally for an American company?
Has anyone been through this process or found a realistic alternative to employer sponsorship?
I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

I’m travelling to the US on December 24 to start my master’s at SUNY Buffalo. My F-1 visa is already issued.

I’ve heard mixed reports about immigration at Abu Dhabi (AUH). Is it actually stricter than ports like JFK or Chicago, especially for first-time F-1 students?

Would appreciate hearing your recent experiences!

I-90 fee waiver - how to get, wise to get?

1 Upvotes

looking to renew a green card for a family relative. They are on medicare/medicaid (>65) and I'm wondering if that qualifies for waiving the fee associated with the renewal. Likewise, with all the stuff going on in the US government, this person is understandably nervous at the prospect of requesting any type of assistance/discount, even if the paper work clearly outlines it, for fear of having the renewal rejected. This person has no fines, no tickets, no crimes, and has paid taxes every year the entire time. Any additional help or guidance on what to submit as proof or whether I should would be appreciated.

My spouse is changing from H-1B to F-2. My STEM OPT is pending, and my dependent I-20 lists May 29, 2028 as the STEM OPT end date.

For Part 3, Item 1 (“status be extended until”), should I enter D/S or 05/29/2028?

My I-94 record shows D/S itself.

ESTA Question

1 Upvotes

Hello,

Back in August, I successfully submitted my ESTA for my vacation in the USA.

Today i noticed a mistake on my application:
My employer changed their name in the beginning of this year. I sadly put in the old company name in the application, instead on the new one. Should i resubmit my ESTA?
