As a woman and lawyer, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg was a personal inspiration and my hero. I admired her so much and I looked to her as a role model. An exceptional, irreplaceable person and a great loss for us all. Let’s do what she wanted and vote. #justiceruthbaderginsberg #scotus #lawyer @theskimm

Employers petitioning for nonimmigrant employees would be subject to fee increases of up to 75%, depending on the nonimmigrant classification sought. With some case types, including naturalization applications and requests to replace or extend green card, a $10 discount will be offered to those that opt to file applications online instead of by mail."
