ghirnion Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

Hello! Not sure if this is you, but every year I either miss my kids’ summer camp deadline or scramble to grab whatever’s left . I figured there has to be a better way — so I’m building something that helps parents like us get reminders (and maybe even auto-book if this is possible) before camps fill up.

If you’ve been through this rodeo too, please provide your feedback — your feedback will help make next summer a lot less stressful for other parents

I am currently on H1b. If I got laid off and went back to my home country for 2 years. After 2 years, if a US company decides to hire me back, could I come back on H1b (provided my H1b hasn't reached the limit of 6 years). Does it happen?

Thanks a lot! a follow up on (2) - what does a "geographical area" mean. Like would Houston and Austin be in the same geographical area? Is there certain miles radius a cut off or entire state?

Hi Peter!

Thanks for doing this! 2 questions from me: 1. If the company is not able to file PERM successfully due to the layoffs and once the H1b expires. Is it possible to extend the H1b after 6 years eventhough there is no PERM filed?

2. Can companies not absolutely file for PERM during layoffs or is there like a georgraphical restriction/meaning certain number of miles that they should look at to determine if layoffs have happened? Is there a fixed number of miles/radius?
