Not sure if anyone here has experience with this.

My friend has been in the U.S. for almost 3 years and is seeking political asylum from Russia. Today, he was asked to bring all of his immigration documents to an appointment. When he arrived, there were many other people there as well.

They told everyone, "You know you have a court hearing coming up, right?" Then they collected everyone's passports and said they would return them after their court hearings and once everything was resolved.

Does anyone know if this is normal? Has anyone experienced something similar? His next court hearing is in August, and he's worried that this could mean he's going to be deported.

Any insight would be appreciated.

I've been in media for over 12 years. I worked on Wall Street, Bloomberg and then tried to start my own businesses. Turns out think public company didn't follow through with the money they promised me for my startup as of 1 month ago.

I need to find a job asap. I've been applying to media companies as well as other jobs but not luck. I do have 2 bartender interview tomorrow. But do ya'll recommend anything?
