Everything I'd send you, in one place

Manifest Law: U.S. Visa & Green Card Services

An immigration law firm's full menu of U.S. work visas and green cards — O-1, H-1B, TN, E-1/E-2/E-3, J-1, L-1, EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, EB-3, EB-5 — each with a plain explainer, plus free guides, current USCIS processing times, the monthly visa bulletin, employer sponsorship checklists and immigration news.

Why I recommend it: Read it for the free half: the visa explainers, the processing-time tracker, the visa bulletin and the employer guides cost nothing and are clearer than most government pages. The legal work itself is paid and they publish no prices anywhere on the site, so if you contact them, ask in writing for a flat fee in dollars for your specific case before signing. They also list a pro bono service and free webinars. A firm writing about the visas it sells is still marketing — useful, but not neutral advice.

Coqual

Global nonprofit think tank (formerly the Center for Talent Innovation) producing research on diversity, equity, inclusion, and sponsorship in the workplace.

In plain terms: This nonprofit research organization studies diversity, leadership, and workplace culture. You can read their reports and articles to understand current employment trends and workplace dynamics.

Why I recommend it: Useful research on sponsorship — the difference between a mentor and someone who spends political capital on you.
