Adam Cohen

Thanks, Greg! I was honored to be able to weigh in on the initial article and then to further clarify in a later response. The Washington Post put out an excellent report.

My law partner Adam Cohen @MDVisas explains why Elon's explanation doesn't hold water.

"Foreign students enrolled in U.S. degree programs may be authorized to work part time and for limited periods to complete their degree requirements. Adam Cohen, author of “The Academic Immigration Handbook” and an attorney who specializes in employment visas, said Musk could obtain work authorization as a student, but that would have required him to be engaged in a full course of study at Stanford. Otherwise, “that would have been a violation,” Cohen said. If he didn’t go to school, “he wasn’t maintaining his status.”" Nice to see my law partner @MDVisas quoted and his excellent book referenced. Adam's one of the most knowledgeable lawyers in the country when it comes to university-related immigration. Elon Musk, enemy of ‘open borders,’ launched his career working illegally wapo.st/4e0PdyI

Thank you @AILANational for allowing me to contribute this piece about how the current #H1B program is very out of sync with the needs of the U.S. economy.

Agree with @shevdd on #H1Bvisas: “Congress needs to take a good hard look at the statute and build out legislation that would ensure at least part of our #immigration system would meet the demands of this century.” ctt.ec/eUe4Q+

In 2021, @AILANational submitted recommendations to help @USCIS reduce barriers to benefits and services. A NEW AILA chart lists the recs, whether or not they have been implemented, and if they are in progress or completed: ctt.ec/h8ISp+ #HoldUSCISAccountable

It is time for lasting, structural changes that build upon the contributions of immigrants, reunite families, and strengthen America’s economy. Read AILA’s solutions to modernize the U.S. immigration system here: bit.ly/realimmsolutio… #AILANDA23

In terms of age, the Immigrant Act of #1998 is older than the #iPhone (gen 1) of #2007. Keeping up with the changing needs of users requires at least 12 updates on the iPhone - why doesn't Congress do the same with #immigration? This is our immigration system the 1998 Nokia.

Undocumented and #DACA-mented lawyers are uniquely positioned to understand and serve their clients, but they're also subject to the threats they advocate against. READ more on #ThinkImmigration from AILA DEI Scholarship recipient Gerardo Villegas Juarez: bit.ly/3xXLrDx

On #ThinkImmigration, @AILANational member Dominique Pando Bucci, using her own example of a challenged L-1 denial, demonstrates how business #immigration attorneys can utilize federal litigation to right the wrongs their clients face: bit.ly/3InNzuj

"The stateside renewal option would be an important step for workers and employers, said @ShevDD... 'The need became even more apparent with the pandemic and delays in visa processing because people were really left in limbo.'” bit.ly/3YD7pXN
