A lot is changing in US immigration right now. Attorney here. Ask me anything.

Hi r/askimmigration. I'm Amanda Emerson, an immigration attorney at Manifest Law. I'll be answering your questions today from 12PM to 4PM EST.

The May 21 AOS memo has created real confusion across almost every visa category right now, and a lot of people are getting bad or incomplete information online. On top of that, H-1B transfers and layoffs are leaving people scrambling, RFEs are increasing, PERM timelines are long and unpredictable, and the general climate is making people anxious about cases that should be straightforward.

Ask me anything about:

• What the May 21 AOS memo actually means for your specific situation
• H-1B transfers, layoffs, and the 60-day grace period
• Marriage-based green cards and what path makes sense right now
• RFEs and how to respond without making things worse
• PERM, I-140, and employer-related complications
• OPT and STEM OPT questions
• Employment-based green cards including EB-1, EB-2, and EB-3
• Whether your situation actually needs a lawyer

Drop your questions below, I'll be answering live during the window above and checking back throughout the day.
