Any predictions on the India EB2/3 backlog? Is it really going to take 5 years to clear 2009?
On a similar note, any chance of an immigration reform in medium term like 3-5 years that would help reduce the backlog for Indians on EB2/EB3? If not, any alternatives apart from EB5, EB1 that you could suggest?
Question for the admins (dang and sctb). This seems like an attorney trolling for work a few times per year. https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=proberts Note other AMA's which are typically different: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=%22AMA%20%22&sort=byPopularity... Is this allowed because the poster 'does work for YC' meaning if another attorney did the same thing on a regular basis it would get flagged?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yes, unbelievably slow. Anecdotally, at least 25% of the cap-subject H-1B petitions that we filed last year are still pending. The why is tough. Many people think that it's the result of general hostility by the current administration toward the H-1B program. But there's no question that the rate of requests for evidence and denials are much higher than ever before that many of these are without legal basis.
You mean, that were submitted this year, April 2018?
Would you mind to share is it becoming easier or harder for startups to hire foreign engineers on H1B visa in the past few years? And roughly how many percent of YC companies support new H1B applications?
Thank you for your time!
The processing of successful H1B visas seems to be taking much longer this year than in previous years. Could you shed some light on to why this is?
Instead of staffing for the expedited processing, they have removed it for periods of time.
By encumbering and slowing down the process the outcomes unfortunately do have some small success in achieving the administration’s stated goal of decreasing foreign workers.
To clarify, it seems that any sort of MVP, attempting to show traction, etc could be considered "employment", and thus a violation of current status.
Hey Peter, are you seeing anything new with regard to EB3 Greencards vs previous years?
