I'll be here for the next 5-6 hours. As usual, there are countless topics given the rapidly changing immigration landscape and I'll be guided by whatever you're concerned with. Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases because I won't have access to all the facts. Please stick to a factual discussion in your questions and I'll try to do the same in my answers.

Edit: I am taking a break now and will return later this afternoon/evening to respond to any comments and answer any questions. Thank you everyone for a great and engaged AMA so far.

Is asking about Recurse Center on-topic? I wanted to apply, but I genuinely don't consider it safe to travel to the US. As far as I can tell there is no comparable bootcamp-style retreat in EU :(

Why go to the USA then? The world is big. Go somewhere you don’t feel unsafe about.

I'm not going to the US - that is the entire point of my comment.

I am not sure if it helpful to you, but I did RC remotely and my experience was great

That is helpful to me! How did it work? I imagine a lot of RC interactions are kind of spontaneous, and I never understood how that would translate over the internet.
