I would genuinely like to understand how you square this with the current president being known to leverage a lot of low/unskilled temporary workers visas. If these weren't issued he would need to hire Americans? Sources: https:&

I don't think you understand anything about an immigration process. All these cases are meticulously documented. So not making a decision is not at all the same as a 'no'. A 'no' you can challenge, a pause not so mu

No, people are following the rules and politely asking for a renewal in a different country. The issue here is that they're not being denied, the government is basically refusing to make a decision for an indefinite amount of time. I&#

So for those that don't know, it's quite common for a visa renewal to be required to leave the country. Depending on the visa, you might have to do this every year. So just imagine, having a normal job in the US and you're as

The biggest blocker to nuclear in most places is that it needs the backing of a country in order to be built. The financial risk is just to big. Pair this with their decade+ timeline and you have a mix that means that it's a long term
