You may want to pull this down. I've heard more than half a dozen stories about people who wrote about applying for visas whose socials and websites were checked and who were asked about things they've shared online. I'm not 100% sure but I think a Green Card can be revoked. And if you're applying for citizenship this post may not reflect favorably on you.

Not an employment lawyer but I agree. You really don't want anything that could cause issues at this point and even if there is a 99% chance this wont... It would be really unfortunate for the 1% to happen. Especially since only 3/4th of the process is finished.

I'm not an immigration attorney but I work in the global mobility space and nothing about this post is particularly damning if it were to come up during adjudication of his N-400 (application for naturalization). What the author is describing, the EB-2 NIW, is well known amongst immigration attorneys.

  We live in a political and bureaucratic reality in which: 1. Immigration of any kind is highly scrutinized 2. Law enforcement suspicion can be aroused by something as trifling and absurd the fact that "Subversion" [0] sounds like "subversive" Putting aside the debate of what the word "hacking" actually means, wouldn't you advise a client to avoid writing a headline of "I used hacking..."? If your client runs afoul of the law for any reason, this seems like the kind of documentary "evidence" that prosecutors would be happy to entice a grand jury with.

Is this really an issue if the OP did this anonymously? Who would possibly know? Or does this count as perjury?

  Someone could definitely file an anonymous tip to the USCIS (his full name is on the website). Maybe they can’t find something fraudulent perse (although HACKING is in the title) but could find his defiant tone offensive and could make it very difficult to proceed.

I mean, the company is his first name comma LLC, isn't it? There's nothing being hidden, here, even before this blog post.

All it takes is one person to report him to immigration to test how robust his solution really is.
