Early reports indicate that it'll be a travel ban and a visa issuance ban. But nobody is sure about the amendments, transfers and extensions coz those aren't technically the visa documents but petition approvals. But again, I'm sure they will get affected negatively in some way

Is there a certain base for layoffs? Like no upcoming projects? Performance related? Department? Promotion likelyhood?

Impacts everything. Please stay put and try to be less disruptive. Don’t travel. Don’t file amendments. Don’t try to switch jobs. Just stay put if you can and avoid any points of failure.

That article doesn’t really say nothing new to the rumors we’ve been hearing for 2 weeks. Chatter though is that it will get signed after the Tulsa rally today

LOL, “as soon as today” means literally nothing. Actually if something, we were expecting this to happen the last days, not this late

Really hoping it doesnt apply to opts

It’s gonna be on Monday, not today. Enjoy your weekend folks. 😏

I see that too, but only if you click on the thumbnail. Click on the actual url in the post and it should take you to the page with the video

I think he is also hinting that L1A will not be affected (big business with people moving in and out)

Lol bcg2 too much optimism. Let’s be clever and wait for him to give more details.

I am surmising from the comment he made that few exclusions will be there especially in cases where business folks are travelling

You are right he did say about business folks, but he said that they “business folks” have been coming in for a long time. I surmise it as H1Bs who have been in the country for too long. At least I hope so that that’s what he meant. Not that I would want anything bad for other category of visas, but hoping out of self preservation. Feel sad to even think or hope like this 😔

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.
