Is it possible for a Canadian to work remotely for a Canadian company from inside the US? For how long? Would this be on a B2 visa, since my presence in the US is unrelated to my work?
I am from India and a recent graduate from a top tier university. I have only recently starting working (1 year so far) in the corporate landscape. What is the best route / plan for me to get opportunities to work in Europe? How flexible are the immigration policies of Europe for Indians? Thank you so much for doing this!
For most political conflicts I can figure out who would benefit and who would lose if a given policy decision gets made.

Can you explain the motivation behind preventing foreign engineers and scientists from entering the USA?

L1-B holder here, in the process of getting my PERM. Lawyers told me that my degree does not qualify as a BSc, even after I send them the certificate that proves it does. Apparently, anything under five years is not considered a BSc. They also told me that my 15+ years of experience have little value, as they will only consider the five most recent. What is the position of the USCIS about this?
