Merry Christmas and happy new year. It's been a tough year with stress about work, immigration, family. This little corner of the internet always gives me joy, hope, and inspiration to work for a better, kinder world.
Hope everyone enjoy the break and start 2026 with energy to keep improving yourself and the world.
Hello, I'm currently on an H1B waiting on my priority date (I'm Canadian but born in China), my H1B hits the 6 year mark next year. My wife is currently on a TN which expires next year.
Should she switch to H4 EAD under my H1B instead of renewing her TN?
Toronto is certainly growing and certainly the most ambitious and challenging city in Canada. However it's not near the level of Bay Area or even NYC for tech. There's a small community that you can be a part of but the general feeling of energy isn't there.
Hey, don't be too hard on your self. I failed interviews from Big 4 and a lot of other startups too. There are tons of false negatives as a part of the interview process.
My wife and I are Canadians working in California on TN visas. I'm at a small startup that doesn't sponsor H1-B but I might start my own business in the future.
Should I look switching to a larger company in order to get H1-B so I have the freedom start my company?
