Hi fishes, this is a general question for Indian Associates.

Wanted to understand why the majority of companies go for a H1B visa for any employee they want to bring to US, and not the L1 visas? (A/B)

The H1B is a lottery, and therefore is uncertain. It's such a huge disappointment for the efforts made on both ends, the company and the employee. Why not simply go for L1s and skip the uncertainty

Hi Fishes,

My sibling (from India) applied for Canadian Visa for study permit (2 years) and it was rejected stating the reason "the IRCC agent was not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay.
The intake was in Jan 2023.

Should we apply again? Has anyone ever experienced this and would appreciate if they can guide me? I'm really worried and emotionally tormented. Need urgent help.
