Someone here asked recently which candidate would be better for workers like us who are here legally with all the credentials, paying US taxes just like Americans. I kind of laughed inside and I still do. Why even ask? Did any other administration excessively hate us this much to the point the rules changed substantially gazillion times a year? Let’s be real. This is nothing more than direct targeting of us. How can anyone not know which is at least less worse? 😂

I moved here in 2009 and I can speak from experience. One administration made rule changes that helped my wife get an EAD and start her US career, made rule changes that protect my priority date against job loss etc.

The other administration hasn't been helpful although I haven't been personally impacted by any changes yet

As a ROW person my only concern with Biden would be the removal of country cap (know this is a sensitive topic but just being honest - we all look out for what’s best for us).

But I’d rather have Biden than have Trump again for immigration overall, obviously.

They need to increase EB GC numbers. Current 140K/Year makes no sense. Should be atleast 0.1% of the population/year, especially as a larger chunk will be highly skilled, will feed into the economy by paying taxes, buying domestic and so much more. Useless to lose them to other countries.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.

I’m maxing out the 6th year for H1b and my I-140 just got approved. 1 month ago, my employer has filed a h1b extension but it is based on the approved PERM instead of the 140, and only asked for one-year extension. In that case, after 6 months (180 days i140 rule to avoid employer’s revoke), will I be able to switch employers even though the renewed H1b gonna expire soon at that time?
