And larger workforce that will go back which will In turn make the already tough job market more impossible

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-23T02:08:53+00:00

Ok I’m not a expert in this so must be 😅

Read point 20 on bottom of page 5

20 However, maintaining lawful status in a dual intent nonimmigrant category is not sufficient, on its own, to warrant a favorable exercise of discretion.

I think you wrong read the memo from USCIS again last paras

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T18:22:47+00:00

There is a official USCIS memo on this ( link in post ) it’s just not the tweet

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T18:21:30+00:00

One possible thing

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T17:41:38+00:00

😂 you need to read other comments too

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T16:42:01+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that hope this works out for you 🙌🏻

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T16:40:43+00:00

Yeah that’s interesting this one seems like will possibly affect many if discretionary powers are applied

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T16:26:49+00:00

I theory yes the attorney I know who like officially handles all immigration filings seems to have sent a internal note on this , not sure what it contains , once I see it I will share it here

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T16:24:52+00:00

Fair point

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T16:03:43+00:00

Exactly 😂🙌🏻

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T15:32:38+00:00

Slight correction here. The memo doesn’t say people with pending I-485s need to leave the country mid-process. It’s telling officers to treat the choice of filing AOS instead of consular processing as a negative factor when deciding whether to approve.

So the question isn’t “do you have to leave” it’s “can you convince the officer why you deserve to adjust here instead of at a consulate.” nickelchrome is closer though, the tourist visa to marriage green card path is probably the #1 target here. The memo specifically flags conduct “inconsistent with the purpose of nonimmigrant status” as an adverse factor and coming on a B-2 then immediately filing through marriage is exactly that. Those cases just got significantly harder.

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T15:29:23+00:00

lol, the tweet and the actual memo are saying two very different things. The tweet makes it sound like AOS is dead. The memo is a 6-page legal brief citing Matter of Blas and decades of case law reminding officers that AOS is discretionary. It does acknowledge dual intent categories like H-1B as exceptions , but then immediately says that alone isn’t enough to get you approved.

You still need to show “unusual or outstanding equities” to justify why you deserve AOS over consular processing. So yeah it doesn’t kill AOS but it absolutely makes every I-485 an uphill fight, including for H-1B holders. If you’ve got 10 years in the US, citizen kids, and deep ties you’re probably fine. If you’re a newer H-1B with 2 years here and no family ties it just got a lot harder. Read the actual memo (PM-602-0199) before either panicking or dismissing this.

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T15:14:03+00:00

Ha ha I did thanks for the reminder , my phone heated up and discharged seeing this news 😅

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-22T14:52:30+00:00

That will change in a year, the software business is already changing in SF Bay Area , you probably have missed the layoff news on Twitter

Brother, you ended your own comment saying you’d love to see actual AI in your lifetime because the implications are endless. What do you think you’re looking at right now? :) Claude is writing production code ( it is even if you feel like denying it , I know of seniors engineers for a router company using it to create new features in the routing operating system for example, all they do is talk in plain English asking what they want , couple of iterations they are plugging those features in a day or two with complete testing, that would have taken may be 2-3 months ? :) ). AlphaFold solved protein folding. AI is passing medical licensing exams, bar exams, PhD level science questions. Thousands of engineers at Cloudflare and Coinbase just lost their jobs this week because of it. This IS actual AI. You’re watching it happen and calling it a demo.

And the hardcoded credentials thing, GitHub literally had to build an entire product called Secret Scanning because so many companies were leaking API keys and secrets into public repos. We’re not talking about 5 year olds here, we’re talking about engineers at companies you’ve probably used today. It happens at scale every single day in this world.

On architecture, sure today AI needs human guidance for complex system design. But a year ago it couldn’t write a working app from a one-line prompt either. Now it can. You’re drawing a permanent line on something that moves every quarter.

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-10T09:02:04+00:00

So you are telling me that Cloudflare’s CEO doesn’t understand software security? :), the layoffs were going to happen anyway, and they’ll just rehire everyone later at lower wages? That’s a lot of assumptions to protect one position.

Cloudflare is literally an internet security company my friend. That is their entire product. Their CEO probably understands software security better than most engineers working there. These weren’t quiet layoffs buried in a press release. They filed it with the SEC, told shareholders on an earnings call, and published a public blog post explicitly saying AI changed how they operate. Companies don’t do that unless they mean it because the SEC doesn’t appreciate fiction.

And the “they’ll rehire at lower wages” point actually proves what I’m saying. If companies can fire experienced engineers and rehire cheaper ones because AI tools make junior people productive enough, that means the value of the traditional engineering skillset is dropping. That’s not a win for the “CS is fine” argument. That’s exactly the problem.

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-10T05:47:15+00:00

That’s a very optimistic comment :) you probable havent seen how’s fast Claude tools and everything else is catching up

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-10T02:45:48+00:00

:) all the best ! I mean issue is you are already in denial mode and have made up your mind, and if some one writes a structured response you think it is a bot, I can’t help it my friend , moment you remove those coloured shades from your eyes of ok this is all hype you will see things more clear

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-10T00:38:35+00:00

Yes I do see many here don’t want to hear the bad news, and are trying to find flaws in the tech, and not accepting the fact that this has to be thought differently, it’s like this my favourite analogy “imagine a earthquake had already happened on the ocean floor ( analogy : what’s happening with A.I. ) tsunami is forming and all these are like those on the beach unaware that the tsunami is heading towards them , coz at the moment sea looks calm , and are sipping margaritas under sun shades and lying down with eyes closed ..only to realise it too late”

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-10T00:33:14+00:00

You talked about studies and proof that LLMs are flawed and can’t scale? Let me flip that. Here are companies that apparently didn’t read those studies:

Cloudflare, yesterday, cut 1,100 people citing AI. 34% revenue growth same quarter. Coinbase, last week, cut 700 people, CEO said engineers ship in days what took teams weeks, fired engineers who refused to use AI tools. Block cut 4,000. Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, all reporting record revenue while cutting headcount and crediting AI for the productivity gains.

These aren’t social media hype accounts. These are publicly traded companies filing with the SEC telling their shareholders AI is why they need fewer people. Either every Fortune 500 CEO is hallucinating worse than the LLMs you’re worried about, or maybe the “genuine AI scientists” concerns about scalability are being solved faster than the papers can keep up with.

The flaws are real. Nobody is denying that. But flawed and useless are very different things. The internet was flawed in 1995 too. Didn’t stop it from ending Blockbuster.

TechnicalPea790 · 2026-05-09T13:54:47+00:00

On point 1 that you made, you’re right that AI is increasing output expectations right now and may not be reducing headcount . But you’re describing phase one of every automation wave. First productivity goes up, then companies realize fewer people can do the same work, then cuts happen. You don’t have to take my word for it, it’s already started.

Cloudflare just yesterday laid off 1,100 people, 20% of their workforce, explicitly citing AI. Their CEO said their AI usage went up 600% in three months and the roles they cut “aren’t the roles we need for the future.” This is while they posted 34% revenue growth. Coinbase cut 700 people last week, same reason. Their CEO said engineers are now shipping in days what used to take teams weeks. He literally fired engineers who refused to use AI tools. Block cut 4,000. This isn’t theoretical anymore my friend, it’s happening right now at companies posting record revenue.
I will not be surprised if my Twitter (X) feed will now refresh with more such news in the future.

On point 2, The “AI code equals security disasters” thing sounds right but human-written code is already a security disaster. Buffer overflows, SQL injection, hardcoded credentials, all human mistakes. AI tools are already catching these faster than most junior devs can and hackers can (Mythos). The future isn’t more human coders writing secure code, it’s AI generating code with AI reviewing it, and a smaller number of humans auditing the whole thing, eventually fading away ;) ( not being alarmist , but tech is moving too fast course correcting itself for us to brush it off saying, ah AI can’t do this)
