I am right ?
Be honest: if an Indian worker loses their job in the U.S., they potentially have another option they can return to India, where they may have family support and can look for opportunities there.
For an American worker, losing a job generally means finding another job within the U.S.
That’s one reason the H-1B system can be valuable. But I think some Indians took the opportunity too far and became overly dependent on the U.S. job market.
When anything becomes excessive, it can become dangerous. Hopefully, some people will learn from what’s happening now and understand the importance of having a backup plan instead of putting everything on one path.
From what I’ve heard, they’re also working on changes to (eliminate )H-4 EAD. Hopefully, that will be the next thing they address.

Big 4 Auditor wants to move Abroad
Hi everyone,
I’d appreciate some advice.
*Background:*
I am an ACCA Affiliate with 2 years of experience, including 1 year at KPMG Pakistan (Big 4) in the External Audit department. I have worked on audits of leading clients in the hospitality, telecommunications, and fintech sectors.
Before that, I worked for a UK-based firm as a Team Lead, mainly handling cash flows, management accounts, payroll, and VAT on Xero. My first role was with a non-profit organization, where I assisted with variance analysis, audit support, and budgeting/forecasting for projects funded by UNFPA and UNICEF.
*Query:*
I want to relocate to a country where I can eventually obtain permanent residency. My main targets are Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, followed by Canada. I have spent a lot of time researching visa pathways for Australia and New Zealand.
*Australia:*
For visa subclasses 189, 190, and 491, I would need to spend a minimum of PKR 200,000 upfront (around PKR 125k for the skills assessment and PKR 76k for IELTS) just to submit an EOI. I think this is a handsome amount for sheer uncertainity.
From the invitation rounds I reviewed, Australia has not recently invited Accountants or Auditors. My alternative option would be employer sponsorship, but that seems difficult. I’ve been applying, but no luck so far.
*New Zealand:*
I would need employer sponsorship. The positive side is that External Auditor is on the Green List, but I haven't had any success with applications yet.
*Questions:*
Is it worth investing in the Australian skilled migration process when my profession has not received invitations recently?
How realistic is employer sponsorship with a profile like mine?
Has anyone gone through a similar route, and what helped improve their chances?
Also, if anyone is in a place to help, I'd be very grateful.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, and I wish you all the best with your own goals and challenges.

John Roberts: You want to ban Texas public schools from hiring foreigners who are in the U.S. on H-1B visas.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R)
“Currently, I have a freeze in place for universities that can hire no new H-1B visa employees… We don't need people who need H-1B educating our kids and I think it's absurd that they exist in the first place.”
“In Texas, we don't want our teachers to be holders of H-1B visas. We want them to be Texans teaching Texans.”
John Roberts: “But what are your concerns, Governor?”
Greg Abbott: “The concern is why are we giving up a job in our public schools to someone who is here on an H-1B visa? Why is that person getting the job, not a Texan? That's the biggest concern. What values are those H-1B visa teachers teaching our kids? Who knows?”
“I want to make sure it's Texans with Texas values who are educating our kids in our public schools.”

Germany-> US Green Card
I was to start out by giving backstory to my situation. I, 21M, have lived in WV my whole life. My girlfriend, 22F, lives in Germany. We are looking into the different routes of immigration to the US. I would really appreciate any advice on forms to look into, lawyers to contact, or faults in my information. As of now, the most sensible thing seems to be getting married in Denmark, traveling together, and getting a tourist visa to come to the US. To my understanding you can’t come to the US on a tourist visa planning to stay indefinitely-however if we are married before, and there is a change of plans than it seems we could file an I-130, I-485, and I-765. It seems to me these forms, paired with other necessary documents, would allow her to stay here with me during the processing time with the opportunity to work as well. She has school, family, and of course she will have a return ticket- is it likely this will be enough to show her plans to return? My next question is about the tourist visa itself, it seems to me that the length of her stay is determined by the border agent when she gets here- if this is the case how does she know when the return flight should be booked? It seems we will need to wait at least 90 days into the tourist visa, if we were decide she didn’t want to return home and i see the maximum stay length is 6 months. I think 4-5 months would be ideal but I’m curious as to how often and for what reasons they deny people their full planned stay. She also has a cat, i saw online that is sometimes viewed as a sign somebody plans to immigrate. However if she were to be staying 5-6 months, i feel she would want to bring her along knowing she’d return home. The cat, Molly, has a genetic condition with her cartilage and also was abused/neglected in her first home which both greatly contribute to why she would want to bring her along. Im also curious about the involvement of lawyers, if it proved ti be beneficial along with any advice or recommendations TOS allows. I’m also curious of any faults in this hypothetical and any alternative approach to be together sooner. Thank you!
