I'll be here for the few hours and then again at around 1 pm PST for another few hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and comments and I'll try to do the same in my answers. Thanks!

I run a coffee meetup in Buffalo, NY. Around graduation season we get a lot of international students who come and are looking for jobs but are worried about visa issues. What are the resources about what their actual situation is, and how I can help connect them to smaller companies who might not know how to sponsor students?

Alum here, most of the international students I knew got a job on campus to get their paperwork done and then you can use it elsewhere.
