#h1-b visas

[tomorrowusa]

Elon Musk REALLY IS sounding more like a James Bond villain. Seriously.

We all know that Musk is a mega-rich narcissistic megalomaniac who is promoting his own version of eugenics and has a goal of colonizing Mars. That's pretty weird by itself. But now he is actually using the sort of language we'd hear from some nefarious nemesis of 007.

The Independent reports that Musk recently posted this...

"Take a big step back and F*** YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot comprehend."

That's over the top even for a James Bond villain.

Musk wasn't aiming that comment at some "lib" he was trying to own, but at MAGA immigration hardliners. There is apparently a MAGA civil war over the use of H1-B work visas. Who knew that Musk was pro-immigration? (Oh wait, he's an immigrant who is a citizen of three countries.)

Trump ally and werewolf lookalike Steve Bannon called Musk a "toddler" – which is probably the way many of us would describe his idol Donald Trump.

Is this the hole for the H-1B visas?

Elon Musk: The Journey from Privilege to Innovation

The Ambitious Journey of Elon Musk Once upon a time in the late 1970s, in Pretoria, South Africa, a young boy named Elon Musk was born into a life of privilege. His father, a wealthy engineer, and his mother, a model and dietitian, provided him with a comfortable upbringing amid the turbulent context of apartheid South Africa. Surrounded by stark divides of wealth and opportunity, Elon grew…

Elon Musk vows 'war' over H-1B visas in rift with Trump supporters

WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA —  Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, vowed to go to “war” to defend the H-1B visa program for foreign tech workers late Friday amid a dispute between President-elect Donald Trump’s longtime supporters and his most recently acquired backers from the tech industry. In a post on social media platform X, Musk said, “The reason I’m in America along with so…

H-1B visa holders who moved to Canada on special work permits can now sponsor dependents

The Canadian government introduced a new work permit program for H-1B visa holders from the United States, effective July 16, 2023. The permit allows current H-1B visa holders to work in Canada and potentially pursue permanent residency based on their qualifications.

Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has allocated a special stream for 10,000 US H-1B visa holders, aiming to provide them with more secure and long-term prospects compared to the United States. The work permit was met with an extraordinary amount of interest; in just the first day, the 10,000 available permits were taken.

In March 2024, Canada announced that it would be processing a number of H-1B visa holders who applied for the pilot project before the deadline but were not granted work permits due to the declared cap.

Dependents of H-1B visa holders can also now benefit from this initiative. Work permit holders can sponsor dependents for work, study or visit in Canada.

Who can apply

To qualify, you must be the spouse, common-law partner or dependent child of an H-1B visa holder applicant

currently live in the US. If you’re not eligible to come to Canada under this policy, you may qualify as a family member of a highly skilled worker .

Applications for open work permits for dependents must be submitted by September 27, 2024, while there is no deadline for visitor or student applications.

Family members of H-1B visa holder applicants who��ve already applied may be eligible to apply for any of the following:

temporary resident visa (TRV)

study permit

open work permit

How to Apply for a TRV or Study Permit as a Family Member of an H-1B Applicant

If you are a family member of an H-1B visa holder who has already applied for a Canadian work permit, you can apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or study permit through the IRCC Portal.

Steps to Apply for a Visitor Visa (TRV) or Study Permit

1. Access the IRCC Portal: Begin your application by accessing the IRCC Portal.

Follow General Application Steps: For a visitor visa, follow the standard procedures outlined by IRCC. For a study permit, adhere to the general guidelines provided by IRCC.

Answer Key Question: During the application process, you will encounter a question that helps IRCC confirm your status as a family member of an H-1B visa applicant who has already applied. It is crucial to answer this question exactly as instructed. Failing to answer this question correctly may lead to delays or refusal of your application. Ensure all information provided is accurate and complete. This helps IRCC verify your connection to the H-1B applicant. Incorrect or incomplete applications can result in delays or refusal. Pay close attention to all instructions and double-check your responses.

It's all fun and game to watch MAGA at war, we deserve the holiday cheer. But voters don't care about intricacies of H1-B visas; we must talk MAGA's about impact on lives & livelihoods. Ridiculing Trump et al for their incompetence, highlighting their crimes & engendering revulsion for their agenda.

Here's an H1B visa stat for you: Last year, the top 30 H-1B visa employers laid off 84,556 people at the same time as they sought 34,414 new H1-B foreign workers. This includes firms such as Tesla.

Trump's war on immigration has left millions of job vacancies (many of which companies won't fill), and soured many immigrants about living in the USA. Other countries are stepping in to take advantage of it. Will Biden change anything? Will Congress?

H1-B visa is a way to import third worlders and place them in positions that rightfully belong to Americans.

It also denies opportunities for Americans to gain the skills and experience for those positions. Why spend time educating, training, and building up an American when you can just import a foreigner?

[andallofthemwitches]

The bit where he compares Elon Musk to a guy getting rightfully stomped at a Popeyes...until even he's like "...oh, y'all don't gotta do all of that...."

Also an astute recap of the H1-B visa situation.
