I don't understand the point of this. Your stay is anyways only authorized for the time period specified in your I-20 (which can be extended by the university). Looks like a strategy to shore up visa fees for USCIS. The biggest risk he

UK doesn't have "at-will" employment like the USA. Their PR system is also time based, which means you don't have to live in uncertainty forever, unlike the H1B which is lifelong temporary immigrant for certain nationali

It's not that simple. All those democratic actions for H1B you've described are merely tokens when you consider how much attention they paid to undocumented immigrants (DACA). They've completely neglected the kids of H1B work

Would like to hear more of your thoughts on this, but in simpler terms. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're claiming immigrants are here primarily only for the money, but don't want to culturally integrate ?

So it seems GM didn't really give any money to Nikola ? The article mentions they get 2 billion equivalent in stocks for non-cash contributions and 700 million in reimbursements from Nikola.

Can anyone ELI5 this for me ? I am unable to access the paper and the abstract is way too technical for me to make sense. If I understand this right, they are using friction to generate power, but how are they doing Bluetooth wireless trans

I wonder if there is an equivalent for MSVC and Clang Compilers. Would be nice if there was a good guide somewhere on flags to use (and their trade-offs) for fast floating point performance for numerical intensive programs.

Totally agree. USA was the default option in the 2000s but in 2020 there are a lot of competitive options for high skilled employment (including staying back in India). There seems to be lot more awareness in India about H1B issues and the

For Canada, its not always about comp. If you're Indian there is a 100+ year (projected) waitlist for US permanent residency. Chinese have a 5 year waitlist and every other nationality has no waitlist. This means for the whole waiting
