HI folks,
My current CTC is very low with respect to my YOE. CTC : 5.2 lpa
YoE : 4
Tech stack : Python , MLops
But now my manager has initiated H1B visa for me and the visa process is in progress.
Is it worth to wait till the H1B process completes to work in U.S (or) should i make a switch immediately. .

Unpopular opinion: the latest changes to H1B visa program are acceptable and ultimately serve a good purpose in the long run.

I have had my medicals done for Australia Visa. Also, verified the medicals have been submitted to the department. Can someone please advise how much time will it take to finalise the visa after medicals submission?
It will be really helpful if someone can share their experiences?

Everyone who is happy about “merit based”.
Stop.
We don’t know what it is.
I have an Ivy League education and make about 400- 500k. Am I merit-based? If I am, what does it mean for 90% of immigrants who don’t have these bonafides?
Yep. If there’s an emphasis on salary, new grads (top schools or otherwise) would probably be out of the game.
Lol just using "merit based" and "immigration reform" as tools to pick work visa holder and DACA against each other, and hopefully to score some political talking points .
Y'all be clowns if you think the current administration care anything about any kind of immigration. You think any EO is in favor of you, but it's simply because Trump think he can use you to attack another immigrate group. Once that's done, hell be happily turn around and attack you with another immigrate group.

I’m so tired of everything. Just make it stop
An EO cannot change the law. The legal framework is decided by Congress, not the President.
@C1, I think I see your point. The EO doesn’t create a law per se but it executes what a law would have done, so in the meantime where there’s no law, it’s the law.
I’m kinda drunk right now so bear with me 😂😂

Seems to help legal immigrants.. good news. No?

Well, he is going to create pandemonium till November. He needs distractions.
Sounds like the merit would significantly depend on your salary level and perhaps education. Worst could be Level 4 wages for everyone- not practical though.
Not sure if he can go through with this bypassing Congress.
This is about DACA and not H and L visa
@mck1 is spot on. Trump seems to excel at pitting different communities against each other in scenarios where the only winner is himself

nothing is merit based ..even the so called merit based immigration of canada and Australia is a farce. they force you to invest in their university degrees so that they can support and subsidize their own. it is laughable that a country is saying a person holding a degree from their university is meritorious than some with same degree in say china or india. If you truly want to make it merit based make it open for all around the world , have the toughest entrance test in respective subject test where you need ppl and make the rank based qualification. an engineer writes an engineering test , a doctor writes a medicine test . unless you do that stop spreading that false notion of merit.

G1...Thats exactly what I am saying...if you consider IELTS as entry ..take the top rankin IELTS candidates ....what ever exam it is take the top rankers...thats it .....EY4 ...I had assumed you are from a specific country ..and would know them...my bad...the former in my list is just a wealthy corrupt businessman/politician and the latter a top scientist
Forget it guys, I keep thinking about all the great foods I can eat everyday if I move back to India!!😅
Republicans want to reduce immigration. Period. Whatever method they use is going to help some group and demolish other. Trump is no different. Don’t believe anything he says.

Oh when did democrats stated or did something to increase the immigration? That’s the thing that drives me nuts this idea that the democrats cares about immigrants..maybe they do for specific categories. What did they ever do for legal immigration? ( FYI I usually vote for democrats in my country) Trump sucked big time with the last EO but I didn’t see one single response from a Democrat to stop the EO. The EO was barely mentioned on CCN and other democrats news that day (I have a screenshot). Democrats had 8 years to make the h-1b process nicer or to update it? I don’t think anything was done in that matter. During the campaign they always talk about grating GC but it is always for illegal immigrants, nobody talks about the backlogs in the H-1b world. I’m even from a country without backlog and I could get the GC in no time if my company sponsors it so I have no conflict interest in this matter.

The only part made sense to me is merit based immigration. Not sure how DACA will change with that.? Don’t get me wrong - I don’t have much knowledge on DACA
