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.

Thanks for doing an AMA!

Should folks on H1B visas who have an ongoing green card application via PERM be concerned at all?

Would you advise not traveling until the i-495 is filed?

No, they still should travel. But they should consult with their company's immigration lawyer regarding the documents they should carry when they travel.
