Hey there Ali, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to jump in a thread to tackle something as complex as law.

A lot of users, and people in general do not interface within the legal domain much beyond some of the standard legal proceedings one faces in their life: marriage, custody, maybe some business disputes, speeding tickets, etc. - safe to say, misconceptions about the field are widespread.

What are some common misconceptions you regularly see in your practice area and would like to see more people have a better understanding of when it comes to immigration law? Are there any particularly harmful tidbits of information that is popularly shared that is entirely contrary to how it actually works?

I've been a regular user over at another forum for a while now and I'd like to introduce you to a "tradition" over on Hacker News where Peter Roberts, an immigration attorney, spends some time tackling questions to the users over there. If you'd be interested, I'm sure Dan (dang) would be receptive in potentially having some extra help over there if you'd be interested. It's a great network over there and having a Canadian immigration attorney would be a really valuable asset to that end.

This sub doesn’t feel like the best place to do an AMA about a startup; while it does have a larger audience this is somewhat more niche of a subject area that may have worked in a business-like subreddit or even a ‘Show HN:’ post on the Ycombinator forum that’s more-so focused on startups in general.

What do you think of Reagan firing 11,000+ US air traffic controllers in 1981? It seems the American ATC has been understaffed since then.

Do you ever feel that your office is understaffed and you’re overworked?

What’s the funniest thing a pilot has said to the tower on takeoff/landing?

edit: reagan did not fire them in the 60’s, he was president of the Screen Actors Guild in that time.

bonus: here’s Reagan on What’s My Line in 1953

When do you think you’ll do a ‘Show HN:’ post?
