Moving to the US? Immigration attorney here. Ask me anything.

Hi r/MovingToUSA. I'm Avalon Paul, an immigration attorney at Manifest Law. I moved to the US from Trinidad and Tobago, so I've personally navigated this process from the outside. I'll be answering your questions today from 12PM to 4PM EST.

A lot of people here are trying to figure out whether moving is even realistic and where to start. Whether you have a job offer, a partner, a business idea, or just a dream and no clear path yet, there are usually more options than people realize.

Ask me anything about:

• Work visas including H-1B, L-1, O-1, TN, E-3, and J-1
• E-2 investor visas and what qualifies
• EB-3, EB-2 NIW, and EB-1A green card pathways
• K-1 fiancé visas and marriage-based green cards
• Dependent and spouse visas including H-4, L-2, and EADs
• The May 21 AOS memo and what it means for people already in the US
• Adjustment of status vs. consular processing
• Long-term planning from any starting point

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