How are people managing stress?

[bakugo]

I just started working after masters, got H1B picked. Can’t travel back home due to visa uncertainty and stamping situation. So much bad news: 100k fee, 60 days grace period etc.

No realistic path to a green card. Even if I get EB1 *****ally the wait time now is insane? I heard they are also stopping the EB5 program?

How are people coping and managing their stress / anxiety? I just arrived to the US haven’t built up any savings. It’s easy for people who came 10 years ago to say yeah we’ll just go back, they’ve built a safety net and have multiple years of work experience https://100001.onl/https://1921681254.mx/ .
What about ppl who just came for masters before any of this and now are blindsided just 1-2 yrs into working?

Please tell me how you all cope

Hi,
You’re definitely not alone. A lot of people who came for a master’s 1–2 years ago are facing the same uncertainty.
Try to focus on what you can control. Build your career, save as much as possible, avoid checking immigration news constantly, and keep multiple options open, including other visa categories or returning home if needed. You don’t have to figure out your entire future right now. Take it one year at a time. Things can change, and today’s immigration situation doesn’t necessarily determine where you’ll end up.
Thanks
