While I've heard this argument over and over again that H1Bs are cheap labor, there is little hard evidence to support this. And while I agree, that there are cases of US visas (any visa, not just H1s) that are abused, generalizing the

1) You could opt for a plain old wire transfer between accounts, I think the banks charge $15 for that, but its almost immediate. 2) Or you could deposit the check in your Canadian bank account. Although, in this case you'll have to w

It is really beautiful. The minimalistic user interface is much more usable now. And the results for some test queries I ran were pretty good. Great work! I'm going to switch my default search engine for a few days and see how that goe

Thing is, its not even ethnicity that decides the cap. Its 'place of birth'. If you are an Indian citizen, born in the UK, you get to skip the Indian line. Still, I see no basis for discrimination based on place of birth, ethnicit

When employers hire workers, the birthplace of the worker is irrelevant. For people with the same qualification and experience, why would you discriminate between someone from Ireland, UK, India or China. For you it should be the same, and

'certain' in this context means: those H1B holders who have completed 6 years of the original visa term. They are compelled to either wait and languish in line, or go back home where their spouse can work. Edit: Not sure why I got

The proposal does not give a blanket approval for spouses of H1-B workers to work. It only allows spouses, for those H1-B holders who have maxed out the original 6 years on their visa and are now awaiting their turn in line for Green Cards

In my case, I had my wife enroll in a graduate program rather than wasting 6 precious years of her life. Promptly, I had her switch from H4 to F1. So effectively, I've just kicked the can down the road. It remains to be seen what will

Correct me if I'm wrong, but takes a very narrow view when it says ROI on Health Care costs. I think they overlooked the possibility that healthier employees (and employee's family) could help provide an ROI in terms of productivi

I mostly use the dot randomly and it doesn't mean anything. Although, I'll use ALL CAPS if I want to drive a point through. Interesting though that a dot can have so much meaning.

I don't get it. Why do you have to go out to sea if you are going to experience it virtually anyway? Couldn't you just have it on land in a room that also moves based on the waves you see out of the virtual window?

In my view, this applies not just to CEOs, but other people too. I've seen many around me and myself included, concentrate work so hard to achieve what we thought was best for ourselves and to keep our family happy. However, it would t

In my view, this money is well spent. It auguments and helps space research and exploration and puts India - a developing country - out there with the developed nations to boast of a successful space program. Skeptics will never die. Money
