It really is frustrating. I commented elsewhere on this post that a very good friend of mine was just laid off and his immigration status is now a question that needs an answer in the coming month(s).
His entire family is on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I'm 3 states removed, so I can't physically help him with anything, either. My own employer is not hiring right now. The best that I can do is reach out to my own network on his behalf, and I am doing that, but I do not like the feeling of helplessness that I feel over his situation, let alone what he must be feeling about it. It really does feel awful, even as a bystander.
- tacheiordache 4y agoCould a friend hire him for their company for a fictitious salary or something like that to keep their immigration clock going?
- miscaccount 4y agothat would be immigration fraud and can be a serious offence. the paper work for getting a H1b or any immigration visa is like 100+ pages at minimum. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/two-santa-clara-county-executives-charged-specialty-occupation-visa-fraud https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/two-santa-clara-county-... just one of the many example.
- jamiek88 4y agoI know you mean well but unless you’ve actually been through the U.S. immigration system you can’t properly understand how absurd this suggestion is. Please no one do this. It won’t help, won’t work, and you’ll both regret it big time. Some people tried this stuff with their llc’s in 2008 oil crash, lot of h1b’s and E2’s all employer tied. I testified at several of the hearings.
