@elonmusk This is what lack of thinking sounds like. When he was super excited to sign up with OpenAI and introduced chaos it was big achievements back then for Microsoft only to realize how much imbalance AI can create. So this is not interesting because the span of this is only few days
@sabeer Chasing the 4 isn’t really that important compared to chasing the people who are training and creating more of those. To you that may be the motive not for the most.
The average time for an Indian origin H1B to get green card is about 15 years. Which usually means atleast 6 to 20 H1B renewals during this period. There are several people still on H1B awaiting green card for past 22 years. People still choose to be here as they respect the country and want to contribute here for greater success.
H1B Available every year- 85,000
From 2024
* Registration period: March 1–18, 2024
* First lottery selection: March 29, 2024
* Second lottery selection: August 2, 2024
* Beneficiary-centric selection: USCIS selects registrations by unique beneficiary, rather than by registration.
* Passport or travel document requirement: Registrants must provide valid passport or travel document information for each beneficiary.
The H-1B lottery for fiscal year (FY) 2024 received 780,884 total registrations, with 758,994 eligible registrations:
* Total registrations: 780,884
* Eligible registrations: 758,994
The difference between the total and eligible registrations is due to: Duplicate registrations, Failed payments, and Registrations deleted by employers before the registration period closed.
The H-1B cap for FY 2024 was reached on December 13, 2023. The annual statutory cap is 65,000 visas, plus an additional 20,000 visas for foreign professionals who graduate with a master's degree or doctorate from a U.S. institution.
USCIS selects more than 85,000 registrations to account for:
* Candidates who end up not filing H-1B petitions
* Anticipated denials of H-1B petitions
The selection rate for FY 2024 was approximately 24.8%. The increase in the number of registrations from FY 2023 suggests that competition for H-1B visas will be more intense for the 2024-25 cycle
@SIIA_US@DavidSacks Removing country caps is still a far better move to begin with. Along with this if skills are considered for prioritizing immigrants it will be better.
@elonmusk Baby Elon got turned on unnecessarily now. Is this the beginning of the end . Take it easy, people will leave your company if you ban Mac. What alternative do you have using IBM or Oracle products?
@krishna_vssr@anil_am22 You don’t have to prove skills for every extension, perm, i140 while they keep admitting people from countries who are damaging the society
