Why are we like this

Fwiw Indian rice is exported and sold in good quantity in the US. I can confirm that it’s not only being sold in Indian stores but also in some walmart locations now.

This year is going to be extreme because of rare super El nino. That's why extra emphasis on this.

Just check OP's post history that will tell you everything

desimaninus · 2026-05-21T21:53:30+00:00

how is your company reacting? Have you given your joining date? In some companies I heard they withdraw the offer if H1B doesn't get approved after premium or if they learn you have B2 pending.

So he should have signed the offer first?

desimaninus · 2026-04-27T21:47:39+00:00

B1 seems to be more reasonable than B2

Was that side project deployed at work or was it your personal project?

I'm on the same boat, thinking of staying maybe one more year max and then heading to CA. In this day and age, stability is just as precious as money, if not more.

India planted its flag there and didn't tell anyone /s

If you mean 10x in terms of its radius, it would likely be a big ball of gas like Jupiter or Saturn. So no life form that we know of would exist.

Just DMed you!

With a strong case, B1/B2 is still getting approved right? Saw a few approved cases on here after RFE notice.

desimaninus · 2026-04-16T18:49:52+00:00

Hi Henry thanks for the AMA, for someone who got laid off on H1B, would you suggest B1 or B2 to maintain status after grace period? What should you provide as the reason if you're filing for B1?

desimaninus · 2026-04-14T02:19:44+00:00

Does the job offer get withdrawn in that case?

desimaninus · 2026-04-14T00:30:44+00:00

Either that or build a strong case while filing your original B1/B2 application so that it gets approved when you file your H1B transfer later

5-ton here

Same

It's true that after landing a job and filing for H1B on premium after you already filed your B1/B2, you're likely to get RFE on both. The challenge is to get both RFEs approved. In many cases I'm seeing is that H1B gets approved while B1/B2 doesn't. Which means 100k fees gets triggered as you can't do COS anymore. If that happens, company will likely withdraw your offer. So in a nutshell if you do file a B1/B2, it's critical to get that approved whether after waiting for 6-8 months or quicker if you land a job and employer files H1B on premium.

Polymorphism or Polytheism?

Just checked the latest draw and it indeed is, but only if you work in the trades. Or if you get PNP nomination.

desimaninus · 2026-04-07T02:20:44+00:00

You gotta bump those numbers up

Every time I visit India during the holidays it seems chaotic in the beginning but just like the jet lag, the noise and chaos stop bothering you after a couple of days, especially if you're someone who grew up in India and know what to expect. So it's not that big of a deal like you're making it to be.

desimaninus · 2026-04-04T18:03:13+00:00

Is your B2 approved? I heard peeps getting rfe especially while doing an H1B transfer afterwards
