I'll be here for the next 6 hours. As usual, there are countless possible topics and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with but as much as possible I'd like to focus on the recent changes and potential changes in U.S. immigration law, policy, and practice. Please remember that I am limited in providing 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 responses. Thank you!

hi I have a friend in a tricky situation wondering if you could help.

he and another founder are both technical cofounders.

he decided to be CTO and the other CEO but he is the only director in delaware c corp.

The CTO is Canadian and CEO is American.

However, CTO found out the CEO wasn't doing in his role. He wasn't committing code and also not contributing to executing, just sitting on his linked in private messages as some way to promise potential investor interest. So to protect the IP, CTO decides to block CEO from accessing github until he can explain and negotiate what to do next.

CEO used this as an excuse to terminate the CTO and acquire the IP by automatic buyback and claim ownership of the IP.

CTO is currently lawyering up and plans on filing injunction against CEO who acted in bad faith.

Will the CTO have trouble getting visas in the near future? It's clear the legal dispute will become public very soon.
