How many news about India? Pakistamis now read India Today?

So only 20% of them will be men who are bread winners. Not as bad as it sounds.
Unexpected glass half full post, keep the optimistm flowing bro![]()
A lot of bright Indians could be returning to India or migrating to other countries soon. I plan to do my MBA from an M-7 (Inshallah) but not sure if I would eventually want to reside in USA.
Indians and migrants from other communities have contributed significantly to the growth of USA. I am curious to know how much this could impact the growth in future.
The US does not need growth as much as they need to reduce unemployment amongst the locals which has led to lots of other problems. Say what you want about Trump, but he's held his end of the bargain domestically.
Besides a tragedy occurring, you really cannot be poor in the U.S.
If you work hard and not get in trouble (becoming a parent before married, not having a high school diploma, etc).
Tbf most indians here don't like trump and tend be more liberal except for some FOBs with complexes lol.
those who love trump will not be hurt by this move.. those who support trump are already citizens and their goals are different. the ones who will be affected by this move are those who are in H1B. and honestly i feel it is time for them to go back.. i don't understand why would they want to stay
America is a first world country and their kids get access to an Amerifan college education. You can't seriously tell me that most people would prefer living in Mumbai over Atlanta or Bangalore over San Francisco![]()
Trump gets a lot of flak but he's in the right here. All those local graduates from universities and professionals need work. Local talent should come before the foreign (visa holders) ones.
Same should be the case in Canada, EU and elsewhere. If you are a local talent you should get priority over the foreign one.
you do realize that they are H1Bs right. if their spouses are losing their job, they don't have green cards.. For Indians the current waiting list is more than 15 years for GC. by the time their turn comes kids would be 18 and won't be eligible to stay as dependents. they will have to return back on student visa anyway..
about living in Mumbai, or Bangalore over San Fransciso, that is a personal choice. i cannot make it for all. but if my well educated and well earning spouse is out of job and my kids will go out of status in a few years with no clarity on my GC status, i would be fool to stay. i have lived in four continents. and most of the places for my role my savings would be less if i worked alone compared to both of us working in India. In India, i get to have a maid, a cook, Gardner, five minute walk to my kids school, two minute walk to market, cinema, playground, IPL matches every year, whole family within a couple of hours of drive, and whole lot of other luxuries i can find back home which i like.. after having seen public school in US and the private schools that our kids go to in India, there is hardly any difference for the kids. if kids do prefer to study out of India, why restrict only to US when so many options are available all around the world.
where i lose out is traffic, bureaucracy, corruption, etc. most of the time I work from home anyway and traffic doesn't affect me.. and how many times will i interact with govt, may be once in couple of years. on a personal level it hardly matters. so my quality of life overall is much better in India.. other person's situation may be different. there are three very close relatives who returned to India after staying in US for more than a decade and all of them had GCs.. so it is not so big deal as you are making out to be.. most of those who return get into excellent positions in the same company. one class mate who returned couple of years back has started a school now... it might be alien for you to see people giving up western life and returning back to Pakistan, but it is not so unheard of here in India. I personally can quote at least couple of dozens in my extended circle who have done that.
so in summary if i were in that situation i wouldn't hesitate to return..
You're a dependent unti 21, so that's 3 years of college.
some Indian might be butt hurt to get this real news but when it close to home it become a tragedy.
Quite of few good Indian friends will be missed if their visa aren't renewed.
You sometimes need to watch tgeir media.. 24/7 india goes their..and mostly they use hindus when they refer india. Hinduo ki yeh mjal..hindu yeh hindu woh...baniye yeh baniye woh..bhrahamnvad yeh brahamanwad woh....whereas in india ,our media is not good but still they refer them as pakistanis and not muslims .
So Trump was recently a God in India being worshipped and all. What will he be now?
He is doing a great service to India. They will thank him later

They'll probably just move to Canada like a lot of people have in the past.

Canada doesn't even have 1/5th of the jobs that US has atleast in tech.

Sensible decision. Indian IT firms abuse the H1B system a lot
In any case my personal opinion is that H1B should prioritise people with American education. Right now many of the H1B folks I used to meet were just randomly plucked out of Hyderabad or some other random Indian city and be dropped in an Anerican city. No assimilation or understanding of American culture and no attempt to learn either!
20k slot is for Masters I believe, not an American degree specifically.They do have a dedicated 20 k slot don't they, the ones educated in USA.
And you are basically saying all h1bs don't assimilate, I'm on one could you let me know what is the criteria for understanding or assimilation?
I hope they ban all the h1b's so more jobs for us![]()
That's not how it works dude. We have a huge shortage of doctors and health professionals and most of them come on this visa. Just cause we ban this visa doesn't mean that magically there will be skilled people in certain fields to fill up the vacancies. In order for an employer to sponsor an employee for a work permit they have to prove that they exhausted all their options and can't find somebody here to do the job. The problem is that Indian companies have gamed the system but bigger companies like IBM and Amazon don't do that, they would only hire somebody if they had a special skillset.
There is a huge social cost of women working, as the role of bread winner still remains with the males and they are expected to take care of the household. Women are good at nurturing the family, but having more of them at workplace has left a vacuum at home, put burden on males due to more competition for jobs, while not doing anything to lessen the burden of traditional responsibilities on males. So this is a good news for a change and even a cynic like me can't help but see the positive side.
While you paint a rosy picture we both know that this is not the case
I've seen so many Indians (and other nationalities as well tbh - but Indians in majority) pulling all kind of stuff to ensure that they stay in the US by hook or by crook and do not have to go back to India.
h1b only accounts for 1.4% for doctors and health professionals, its the Tech Workers eating the chunk.
This is the worst ever post on PP!!! It's backwards thinking and just shows the patriarchal society will never vanish in the subcontinent culture. Women are more or equally educated as men these days and need their opportunities.

so we have a SJW here. Agreed women need their opportunities and equal rights, but they also need to share equal duties. The burden of paying off home loans, maintenance, medical bills, taking care of parents, getting younger siblings married etc all depend on the male child. But when it comes to rights, the female child comes to ask for equal share in property? Men have to take all the burden, and then fight for job opportunities with females. Men are providers, female are nurturers. It has worked for the last 5000 years and will work for the next 5000 years.
i can talk for myself and my close family and friends.. it is true for them. i don't know your situation. regarding people pulling all kinds of stuff, sure i have seen. i have met several illegal Pakistanis driving taxi here. what does that have to with the topic at hand. these are h1bs what illegal can they pull. they won't have a job if they overstay
So what should be the criteria for Canada ,PR? Coz most are getting that nowadays very rare are other work visas,just saying.
Hire local graduates, PR or citizen. Period!
When did I say Pakistanis are exempt from this?
But I said it's mostly Indians and that is factual simply because there are just so many Indians to begin with.
Who else do they hire? All tech requires PR /CITIZEN unless you are talking against the Express entry low points,not sure what your issue is with existing employment issues.
Unemployment of Canadian graduates is the issue with the current system in place.

And yes, hiring those with no Canadian education and no Canadian experience is an issue, since companies don't have to pay as much to them. It is a fact! Can't provide it since I don't have time to google for someone else.

To add to my comment above, I think a big reason why immigrants find it less difficult to find a white collar job in America is because of how big our market is compared to Canada's much smaller economy, > 80% which is tied to America, and this likely the reason for the archaic policy of only hiring people with socalled "Canadian work experience".
America might have more opportunities and willing employers to hire immigrants but their govt's Visa policies will deter these employers in the future from hiring overseas talents. I worked for a major corporation for about 14 years there and never had issues with visa but again the visa policies in the US is still archaic.
Yes but people from around the world are getting PR without Canadian education and getting jobs, and then they are hired.
Your point is they should get PR after Canadian education?
I'd have to disagree. Canada is far worse than America when it comes to hiring immigrants, it's a well known fact that you can't find work in Canada unless you have socalled "Canadian work experience". Shutting out immigrants is just covert racism and this is coming from somebody born and raised in America. Why bring in immigrants if y'all don't want to hire them, I find fascinating how most of my Pakistani relatives had little difficultly finding a white collar job in America yet my relatives in Canada have faced obstacles just cause they don't have Canadian work experience despite having worked in America and Europe. Canada has an outdated policy about immigrants and it's just covert racism. Imagine the uproar in Canada if we banned Canadians from working down here cause they don't have American work experience.
