A friend of mine have been visiting countries for tech events and posting on social media that these events sponsor his visa and stay.
I went on to the official website only to find out none of those events sponsor any visa and asking participants to arrange for themselves.
It's sad he lied all the time, dont believe what people post on social media.

May be he don't want to show off that he is spending money on foreign trips..

That can be another perspective to see the things..

So he spent out of his own pocket? Lol

Ya he comes from a rich family

He may be rich by background and can afford trips himself, but just to show off to others that he has earned it himself.

For such type of people it's not lying, its natural.

How are you guys thinking about booking appointments for 1st time H1B stamping? Every time I open the site, there are no slots available for 2022. I’m sure majority of you have faced the same. Also, heard that some people have reached out to agents and got their booking done via them. Is that even a safe option? At this point of time, having being waiting for appointments for months, I wonder if there’s any other option ?

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Do you recommend we go for a serviced/luxury apartment (e.g. Montaje, 345 Harrison, etc.) or hire a broker to get a “normal” apartment?

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?
