US visa questions? Immigration attorney here. Ask me anything.

Hi r/USVisas. I'm Avalon Paul, an immigration attorney at Manifest Law. I'm also an immigrant myself, originally from Trinidad and Tobago, so I've personally navigated parts of this process from the outside. I'll be answering your questions today from 12PM to 4PM EST.

There is a lot of anxiety in this sub right now. 221(g) admin processing timelines are unpredictable. H-1B stamping is getting harder. The May 21 AOS memo is creating confusion for people already inside the US. And B1/B2 refusals keep leaving people without clear answers.

Ask me anything about:

• B1/B2 tourist visa interviews, refusals, and reapplications
• 221(g) administrative processing and what to do while you wait
• H-1B stamping, consular processing, and visa renewals
• F-1 student visa interviews and maintaining status
• The May 21 AOS memo and what it means for pending and future green card applications
• H-4, L-2, and dependent visa questions
• DS-160 questions and corrections
• Employment-based green cards including EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and EB-3
• O-1 visas and who qualifies
• TN, E-3, and other work visa categories

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