I had a dream that one of my good friend/ colleagues received his GC. He was in queue since 2012.

Suddenly I felt alone as my PD was in 2017.

Phew, it was a dream - So I woke up into my waking immigration nightmare.

Is their any company which gives a lot of job security. In the crazy times of this immigration policy? It’s so important to find a safe place. Any input partners ?

My total experience is around 7+ years and am currently working in a MNC from the past 4 years. I was planning to make a switch to some other company but recently my manager has mentioned to me in person and as well as on my appraisal feedback (in writing) that I will be nominated for the H1B visa in the coming cycle. This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book
