highimpactaliens.com - "80K advising calls" but for 30min debugging US visa work-authorization challenges, and an accountability support group.
goals:
help EAs and AIS folks over 30min advisory calls to quickly know their options to work in the USA, navigate the confusion (and frustration).

if you're an EA-empathetic immigration lawyer and willing to take probono cases, email me [email protected]
