Re:Amazon to lay off 9,000 more workers after earlier cuts by BurningFrog on Monday March 20, 2023 @05:09PM (#35238768)
According to the immigration lawyers I've talked to, nobody gets deported for overstaying a tech work visa.

ICE has priorities, and this is very far from being one of them.

You might not get deported, but overstaying a visa will cause you trouble if you are ever planning on getting a new visa afterwards, be it dual-intent or just to visit. Not being able to attend an on-site meeting or conference because you took "too long" to pack up and leave after having your life uprooted from one day to the next still sucks, even if it isn't as traumatizing as being raided in the middle of the night.
