#

dont worry about it

#

they will be counting some counties where he has heavy lead

#

but those 2 counties have like 1.1k votes

#

and those 2 where biden has heavy lead have like 4.5k

little bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:03 AM

#

ahh im honestly worried about pa

#

94% counted and its still very red

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

when you say worried, you are worried whether we get 50k lead or 80k lead?

little bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

any kind of lead

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

lmao

little bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

theres still a 25k diff

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

bruh

#

and 175k votes

#

where Biden leads 70-80%

#

the real tension is whether we get an extra state of Georgia or not

#

PA has been ours since the morning

errant isle Nov 6, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

Is John King taking a break

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

the guy who was presenting instead of John King was rude lol

lofty siren Nov 6, 2020, 5:23 AM

#

John king prob going to sleep

#

Will be back tmr at around 10

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

John King will wake up to President Biden

#

thats really dumb that in PA they couldnt count vote until election day

#

we would have had President Biden already yesterday

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 6:27 AM

#

PA 18k

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

Georgia 1.2k

#

I'm going to sleep

#

and wake up

#

to blue PA and GA

#

💪

crimson leaf Nov 6, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

georgia lead

#

😮

little bison Nov 6, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

Blue GA. PA still red. I'm not sure blue ga's going to hold

crimson leaf Nov 6, 2020, 2:11 PM

Oh shit PA is blue

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

I'm going to sleep
and wake up
to blue PA and GA
@proud bison

#

I just woke up

#

Good morning America

#

Why they didn't call PA yet? It's outrageous

#

There are still 124k votes left to be counted in PA, we are winning by 50-140k as I was saying yesterday

livid glacier Nov 6, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

they'll call PA later today I think

#

still 35k votes in pittsburgh area that can;'t be counted until 5pm due to litigation by trump admin

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 3:56 PM

#

yeah but like bruh

#

at leat 75% of them are Biden

#

now in order for Biden to lose PA

#

in the remaining votes in PA he would need to have less than 50%

#

and he has 70-80%

#

they had guts to call AZ but not PA which is already a done deal?

#

"In conversations with allies in recent days, President Trump has said he has no intention to concede the election to Joe Biden, even if his path to a second term in office is effectively blocked by losses in places like Georgia and Pennsylvania."

#

Looking forward to seeing Trump removed from WH by military lmao

#

let that dumbass stop counting now

#

then we won with 306 electoral votes lmaooo

livid glacier Nov 6, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

haha

#

facts

#

we'll see where his litigation takes him tho

#

and ga sec of state said recount happening if margins stay this close

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

bro we are winning PA by 50k+, he cannot do shit except for whine a little bit

#

GA recount is coming for sure

#

no matter if Biden or Trump wins

#

but GA is just a nice addition

#

PA determined the election for President Biden

#

the fact that they didnt call him yet is just because Trump makes atmosphere in the US rn that everyone is scared of calling President Biden

livid glacier Nov 6, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

yeah true actually

#

as long as PA margin is big

#

we're good

#

cuz then everything else is just a buffer from trump pulling some cheese in court

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

exactly

#

also we got over 60k of the remaining 250k in AZ

#

and Trump had only 52.8% there

#

so now he will need 58% in the remaining 190k in order to flip AZ

#

I think it's possible that AZ stays too

#

so then Trump would need to flip PA and 2 more states in order to win presidency

#

not happening

#

https://www.predictit.org/ on predictit AZ just went from 70% Biden to 95% Biden

#

this election is over guys

#

Congrats!!!

lofty siren Nov 6, 2020, 4:29 PM

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 4:33 PM

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 4:49 PM

NC is like im out of this shit

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

Remember how Trump made us feel on July 7th? That's how he feels now lmao

crimson nimbus Nov 6, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

NC said they'd finish counting by 14th lmao

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

fuck them

crimson nimbus Nov 6, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

dont even need them tbh

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

its good that GA and PA didnt say that lol

crimson nimbus Nov 6, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

trump needs NC morre

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

trump doesnt need NC

#

Trump needs a fuckin God stepping on Earth and starting making miracles

crimson nimbus Nov 6, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

only the red states tried slowing down counting votes

#

but idk, maybe im just saying shit

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

I think everyone slowed down

#

because now they got to hard votes

#

like the ones that need to be verified and shit

crimson nimbus Nov 6, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

true

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

Biden has victory speech today

crimson nimbus Nov 6, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

The only positive thing that came out of this year

#

Rather, the only thing that went the way I wished for it to

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

WE ARE 4.2K ABOVE TRUMP IN GA!!

#

They should call GA now

lapis wharf Nov 6, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

Lol they probs got that many in military/provisionals to count then there will be re-count

proud bison Nov 6, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

4.2k lead, there is no enough votes to overcome it

#

Trump would probably need like 90% or more of whatever is left

livid glacier Nov 6, 2020, 10:42 PM

#

he'd need 75 pct of millitary votes

#

which is possible

#

but improbable

proud bison Nov 7, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

President Biden has 0.5% lead in PA, why don't they fuckin call it jesus

Are all international students finding it tough to get interviews?

#

for new grad full time roles

fresh fulcrum Nov 8, 2020, 4:52 AM

#

Have you tried improving your resume? If you’re not getting callbacks at all it’s probably that and also the job market is pretty much screwed up right now.

#

Perhaps walk into your schools career centre to have them help you with the resume

#

Also talk to your professors they might have connections to recruiters or have someone write you a referral, that can come in handy

civic hollow Nov 8, 2020, 4:56 AM

Had my resume checked by a lot of people. No issues there. Even by people in the industry

At least that's what I think

@young moth Follow up with recruiter. Usually they want to keep a copy of that form; and also need authorization to fill it out

is this H1B stuff like the new wages and directly related degree rule likely to stick around even w a Biden administration? I know we can only speculate but just curious if anyone has any insight

small flame Nov 14, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Biden supports wage rule policy, just not the absurd way the trump admin did it. So i think a more realistic version of it might be released

#

he outlined it in his immigration plans on his campaign website.

rotund kindle Nov 14, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

@small flame ok that’s good to know! I’m not super familiar w US politics but do you know if these current H1B restrictions eventually expire or have to be overturned?

small flame Nov 14, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

I’m not closely following, but there are a couple of lawsuits against the current rule and some lawyers are saying it’s a easy win since the admin did it without following law.

rotund kindle Nov 14, 2020, 10:15 PM

Thank you! Was having an anxious day abt all this uncertainty I appreciate you replying 🙂

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 1:29 AM

#

is this H1B stuff like the new wages and directly related degree rule likely to stick around even w a Biden administration? I know we can only speculate but just curious if anyone has any insight
@rotund kindle I would say, just expect Biden administration to cooperate with companies

#

you can rest assured that big tech lobby will go to Biden ASAP to bring back normality to this country

#

and they will probably come up with reasonable solution

#

cuz giving international students path to work in the US and support the economy is a no-brainer

#

but for Trump xenophobia is more important than economy

#

just the question is how much Biden will be able to achieve with divided House, and Republican Senate

#

but in Obama/Bush times, Bill Gates just approached the head of DHS and was like "yo I need STEM OPT" and they created it lol

#

anyone can share their experience? i heard that its harder for us to switch company because once your gc has already been applied youre stuck at that company, but others say once i140 is approved there are no issues changing companies (?)
@cunning umbra yeah I think there is some point at which you get EAD even tho you are still waiting for Green Card, I'm just not sure how many years you need to wait for that, if you are not Indian/Chinese, I think you should get it in 1-2 years

I guess with him gone everything will be better

I'm sure Canada would start having better job prospects soon if Trump stayed in charge of the US

hahaha true

#

people from China are starting to go to Canada for further study

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 1:55 AM

#

yeah exactly cuz for most smart immigrants Canada is like the second best place to work in after the US

#

so if the US treats them like trash

#

they will just go to Canada

#

and make Canada great

#

instead of the US

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 1:55 AM

so true 🙂

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 1:56 AM

#

and they think that they will have more jobs if those people don't come to the US wtf

#

yeah exactly

#

it's so hard to hire foreigners

#

no company would do that if they didn't have very serious reasons for it

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 1:59 AM

so hard. Companies will have to pay extra money to do that

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 1:59 AM

and they need to sue government all the time to protect us

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

yeah so contradictory

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

Trump's propaganda is telling his supporters that those companies fight that hard because we are cheap labor

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

impossible

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

fuckin cheap labor that gets $200k+ straight out of college

#

lmfao

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 2:00 AM

there are so many procedures and extra fees to pay to hire a foreigner

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 2:00 AM

yeah it's so expensive lol

yeah and also sde is like so highly compensated in USA

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 2:00 AM

but Trump's supporters don't understand it

because they just believe the convenient "truth" that Trump presents to them

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 2:01 AM

Trump is crazy as hell

#

🙂 I mostly just watch him as a clown

hushed hearth Nov 15, 2020, 2:01 AM

he is just a very selfish opportunist imo

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

yeah

#

Trump doesn't give a shit about anything but himself

#

he is so defensive rn

#

like bruh

#

since he lost the election

#

he didn't do shit for the country

#

he appeared once in public

#

and other than that

#

he was 24/7 watching TV

#

and tweeting

hushed hearth Nov 15, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

I wonder if he is just trying to blackmail everyone into protecting him from all the legal stuff which awaits him after the election

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

as if he was unemployed lmao

#

I wonder if he is just trying to blackmail everyone into protecting him from all the legal stuff which awaits him after the election
@hushed hearth yes

#

Trump has always been blackmailing people

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

if only he could behave like how Clinton did when she lost to him

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

he fired so many people since he lost election

hushed hearth Nov 15, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

the fact that he fired so many ppl in defensive branches is kind of scary though

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

maybe he wanna fire the entire government so that he can make it worst for Biden to take over

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

yeah Trump is just replacing every official with loyalists like a dictator

#

he resembles Hitler's early days in politics way too much

#

we better pray he leaves that White House on January 20th and his story ends

#

maybe he wanna fire the entire government so that he can make it worst for Biden to take over
@lethal wing yeah he definitely wants that

#

let's just hope it's the only thing he wants

hushed hearth Nov 15, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

I doubt that he has much support in the army though

not some coup or shit

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 2:05 AM

I got to say — the public’s rhetoric on H1Bs is ridiculous. I personally know many families on H1B who bring in $500k+ a year. How tf are they cheap labor. It’s ironic that people who say this are the real cheap labors. Ik that sounds harsh, but it’s true.

lethal wing Nov 15, 2020, 6:16 AM

Imagine 500k per year as cheap labor

proud bison Nov 15, 2020, 7:15 AM

My understanding is you're getting CPT for a summer internship

#

my internship last year started on May 26th

#

my lazy ass started the CPT process on May 1st

#

there's no rush it'll be fine

#

also usually an offer letter with complete internship start and end date should be enough for your CPT office

#

which you should already have

young moth Nov 16, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Yeah but they told me I need Salesforce to fill out a form

deft copper Nov 16, 2020, 8:33 PM

No rush

proud bison Nov 16, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

I got an offer May 20th, filled for CPT May 20th, started working June 1st, chill

#

It's surprising your school even allows to file for CPT so early

#

mine won't let you till March

opal jetty Nov 16, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

my school lets us file for CPT 90 days before the internship start date

little bison Nov 17, 2020, 6:22 AM

Yeah there's no rush. If it's been a month reach out again

autumn linden Nov 17, 2020, 11:12 PM

guys im really having a freaking rough time

#

do yall fill in the apps "now or in the future requried sponsorship" a yes or no? my school told me no

quiet vine Nov 17, 2020, 11:14 PM

i put yes

lofty siren Nov 17, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

I put yes

autumn linden Nov 18, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

yea my school told me that we are authorized to work during school under CPT and if you in stem, its up to 3 years OPT. so technically no, maybe if u going to stay at that company for like 10 years but definitely not while you going to stay for 1-2 years :/ thats why i put no

sharp heart Nov 18, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

I do feel companies automatically reject us when we put yest

#

yes*

#

but I kinda feel like yes it the right way to go, even with CPT

#

sorry OPT*

autumn linden Nov 18, 2020, 12:25 AM

there should be like a hub for companies that accpet us

lethal wing Nov 18, 2020, 2:07 AM

@autumn linden how is your response rate

#

I put yes and got like 5% response rate

autumn linden Nov 18, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

around the same

quiet vine Nov 18, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

yeah I sorta suspect that it automatically rejects you from most startups and small-mid size companies

autumn linden Nov 18, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

i noticed that i heard back a little more

quiet vine Nov 18, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

but they're going to find out eventually

autumn linden Nov 18, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

they find out when we accept the offera and they do I-9

#

i always check with them first tho

proud bison Nov 18, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

I put sometimes yes, sometimes no, 33% response rate

#

really depends on the wording

#

then I always clarify immediately during interviews

lethal wing Nov 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

33% insane

#

👀 good for u

autumn linden Nov 18, 2020, 9:40 PM

it's crazy on how they considered CPT as needing a sponsorship even tho we have like atleast 4 years to work there

biden admin supports the wage rule as well, so even if it’s overturned it may be reimplemented. but the wage levels will be realistic though.

i am from Georgia(Country). I major in Business administration thus won't have CS degree, however in parallel I study CS subjects too. What are the odds(given my education and country for Visa) I will land offer in fang or other big tech companies?🤔 🤔

autumn linden Nov 24, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

I went to Georgia! so pretty!

#

I'm not sure about this, depends if you currently attending a US school?

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

Thanks^^ No, I don't attend US school. As I know most of our CS graduates who land offer from big tech companies, start working mostly in European headquarters like Berlin or Madrid

autumn linden Nov 24, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

um I'm an international student (attending to US school) and they still consider us as needing "sponsorship" i would just try to apply and see anyway!

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

what does US school mean? I don't understand meaning

shut drum Nov 24, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

@spiral moss You could apply to FAANG companies in London as well. It should be easier for non-EU residents to apply to jobs and get a work visa starting Jan 1st

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

@shut drum and what changes after Jan 1st?

shut drum Nov 24, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Brexit. It's going to ruin the UK but at least EU applicants for jobs don't have priority over non-eu regardless of ability or experience

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

Mhh, never thought about it, good point. But I still think that these companies would prefer local interns rather than searching for them. Probably becoming junior dev would be easier

shut drum Nov 24, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

And I believe there are more incentives to bring non-eu applicants in

#

Eh you'd be surprised especially with FAANG

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

why?

shut drum Nov 24, 2020, 8:32 PM

#

FAANG cares more about talent than the potential cost of sponsoring a visa

brittle mesa Nov 24, 2020, 8:46 PM

#

Uhh cost is almost never a problem

#

It's the uncertainty

#

Eg

#

Fb us hires a lot of f1 students because they can do opt while trying for h1b

#

Or would hire Canadians studying in canada because they can be brought on tn

#

But not internationals in canada because then they have to sponsor from day 1

#

Which is big uncertain

#

As chances for undergrads was 30%

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

These Visa related topics are so complicated :(

brittle mesa Nov 24, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

Ya it's very annoying

#

Especially that you can get an offer but still not pass the lottery

#

Even if you do

#

You've to apply in march

#

To come in October ish

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Don't companies help you to like, I don't know, send you visa for working, or something like that? 🤔

brittle mesa Nov 24, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Yeah but it's a lottery for the us

#

Before the recent changes

#

So they can help you

#

You can have the best job

#

But you still have a 1/3 chance

#

To get the visa

spiral moss Nov 24, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

If I want to get H1b I should have cs degree as well. I guess I am stuck

reef jungle Nov 25, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

@spiral moss H1B is not the only way. there's also L1 which is a guaranteed path to the US if you work at a EU branch of a US company for at least 1 year. then you can transfer to a team in the US. the only caveat is that you can't switch companies once you're in the US until you get H1B or green card

spiral moss Nov 25, 2020, 11:11 AM

@reef jungle oh now i get it. So first step is to start working in EU country. Thanks

Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone is familiar with how OPT jobs work. I just got let go from my company yesterday and I only have 3 days of OPT unemployment left. I not sure what my options are to stay in America. I don't know if I can find another jobs within these 3 days.

rotund kindle Nov 25, 2020, 5:00 PM

If you’re not on STEM OPT you can do anything even unpaid- find a startup or a prof at your school that needs volunteers (as long as it’s CS related)

You need to be in US for 9 months which is an academic year

#

So you won't be eligible to work on cpt for 2021 summer

I would suggest you to look for internship in your home country and then start applying for new grad positions in US

there is not a single one that has base salary below $300k

yo wtf im having this weird conversation with my CS department and IS advisor. So I can't take internship courses so i can only do 1 in the summer. what if i wanna intern in fall? WTF

hidden jewel Dec 4, 2020, 6:33 PM

#

you can definitely use CPT in non-summer seasons

#

however the requirement is often that the internship has to last at minimum the entire duration of your school semester

#

so for me, for example, if I wanted to intern in the fall I would have to find an internship from August 27 ish to December 16 ish

#

usually around 16 weeks

autumn linden Dec 4, 2020, 6:44 PM

yea but apparent i have to take a course while doing so.. but what if i already took the course in the summer and can't repeat the course twice :/

this is not true, Trump has nazis like Stephen Miller in his administration that believe that Americans are superior beings, he doesn't care if companies exploit you, he actually probably would even be happy if they exploited foreigners for the benefit of citizens

#

this facebook lawsuit is just one of the last attempts before leaving the office trying to make companies tired of trying to find ways to hire talent regardless of citizenship

he just wants to leave some more permanent damage and ruin the international competitiveness that US has been building for hundreds of years so that Biden and future presidents won't be able to restore it easily

Can one move from opt to green card directly without dealing with hb1b? If it's EU citizen

candid cliff Dec 14, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

Doesn't matter if it's EU citizen or not, there will be greater risk

#

Since OPT does not grant dual intent then you may have problems when you try to reenter the country if they find that you have "immigration" intent

#

Only H1B provides you that flexibility

#

Pretty dumb rule, I don't really get what is the benefit of preventing students to apply when there is stuff like green card lottery

molten gyro Dec 14, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

NAL, but from what I’ve read, you can do it but it’s a little bit risky. As Chelsea mentions, OPT doesn’t grant dual intent so if you apply for GC while on OPT you are breaking that part of the “contract” from your visa. As long as you are part of ROW (rest of the world aka not Indian and non Chinese), GC processing takes ~2 years. So if you apply for GC as OPT it’s best if you don’t leave the US in that time so they don’t take your legal visa status

candid cliff Dec 14, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

Well not preventing, but heavily discouraging. You can still apply for green card while in OPT

molten gyro Dec 14, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

I mean that’s the info I’ve been able to gather. Something I will def look more into and ask immigration lawyers once I’m on opt

#

I want to agree with you. I just worry about those who feel the anecdotal and statistical evidence against foreign names feel pressured by the bias

#

I think people should retain the right to change their names on resumes as they see fit and the legal name should not be seen on recruiter/interviewer side because it’s irrelevant

#

The legal name should still be provided of course, because duh. I’m referring to its visibility

reef thistle Dec 19, 2020, 2:21 AM

for a lot of my friends that do it (not even international but those that are like asian-american or hispanic, etc.) it's not even about the pressure, it's more like, to each their own

#

are the ones that don't want to change their first name on the resume (which is fine)

How much does university matter if you are out of top 20 for getting internships / jobs? I have heard mixed answers about this. For instance does it matter if I go to Penn State, NCSU or Buffalo?

candid cliff Dec 26, 2020, 11:35 AM

#

It’s not about which school you go to, it’s about job tactics. Sure, recruiters do reach out to top 20 by appearing at their career fairs more often. But there are also career fairs outside of school

#

In general, most friends I’ve seen from those school still got internships/jobs as usual. NCSU is a pretty strong school. Tons of alumni at big companies

Hi, so I'm a freshman international student and I applied to STEP and just got an interview. The problem is I'm currently not in the US and I recently found out I couldn't get OPT because of my status. This means I can't move forward with the application and I have to withdraw.

#

I was completely shocked when I saw the congratulations email and also really bummed out by the fact that I can't try my luck. I was wondering if there's anything I can salvage from this?

little bison Dec 26, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

Do you go to a school in the US? Can you work currently/get work authorization in EMEA/APAC/Canada? J1s are banned but 2021 might see that overturned

compact marten Dec 26, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

@cunning umbra Can't get CPT until Sophomore year unfortunately

#

@little bison Yeah I go to a college in the US. I was learning remotely for the first semester because of covid restrictions but I'll hopefully be on campus for the Spring semester. Not sure about the work authorization, can you tell me where I can find out?

#

I'm very new to this

hidden jewel Dec 26, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

compact marten <@!401752534407970816> Yeah I go to a college in the US. I was learning remotely...

email your school's DSO or international office or whatever system is in place and find out ASAP

#

don't withdraw anything until you have all the details

compact marten Dec 26, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

Here are all the details I found out. I got this info after I applied to STEP and didn't know how it will go. I can't get OPT because I won't have been on campus for two semesters by the end of the academic year. CPT won't work either for more or less similar reasons.

#

The interview window I was presented with is basically 4 weeks starting from January

#

I asked the school's DSO about this and I was basically told that I'm out of luck. I didn't withdraw my application sooner because I was hoping for a miracle and I also really didn't think I would get an interview

#

I go to a liberal arts college and I haven't declared a major yet. Basically yeah

#

sucks

hidden jewel Dec 26, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

I believe thats a pretty normal CPT requirement

#

i have that too

#

you have to have been in the US for 2 semesters

#

before being eligible for CPT

compact marten Dec 26, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

should I just inform the recruiter about my situation and tell them I will reapply next year

hidden jewel Dec 26, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

If you don't mind saying, is there a google office where you're from and do they have a STEP program there?

compact marten Dec 26, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

unfortunately they don't.

hidden jewel Dec 26, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

hol up lemme check mine you might be right

#

Oh wait so the thing is, you need 2 semesters of F-1 SEVIS status before being eligible for CPT

#

didn't people doing online semesters from abroad have an inactive SEVIS record for that semester

#

they reactivate it when you're back in the States right?

compact marten Dec 26, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

yeah

#

I think that's what my school's DSO was telling me

hidden jewel Dec 26, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

are you eligible to work in any other Google STEP location

#

i.e can you obtain work auth in any other STEP location

#

based on your citizenship

#

Oh wait I think Allistyre asked the same thing above

#

basically what you wanna evaluate now is whether you could be eligible for work authorization in other locations where google hosts the STEP program

compact marten Dec 26, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

that's a good idea. I haven't thought of that. I'm looking into it right now.

hidden jewel Dec 26, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

If not then yeah, you'll probably have to ask them to reconsider you next year. I really hope that they do give you the opportunity next year - google recruiting is kinda meh

#

ah turns out I can't work in any of the countries. Sucks.

Ok so I've been seeing a lot of people doing bachelors in computer science (at US) getting multiple offers for intern roles, for different large companies (Like Amazon, FB, etc). Is this just happening for US citizens or are international students also getting multiple offers too?

Only for full-time roles. Not for internship roles, unless they're gonna get converted to full-time.

I'm not a 100% sure whether an international student studying outside the US can even apply for internships in the US.

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 2:41 AM

Easy if you get the required salary

#

If you're in level 2,3,4 you are basically guaranteed one if you have done your master in US

#

It's still the same

#

Advanced degree exemption is there for 20k visas

#

Do you want to me explain in detail how came to that conclusion through last year's data?

#

Well atleast according to last year data

#

📎 image.jpg

#

There were 27k selected petitions for advanced degree exemption

#

Out of which the level 3 and level 4 will be selected in the 65k cap

#

And even if none of the 14k level 2 advanced degree petitions are picked in the 65k cap which is basically 50k after giving h1bs to 15k level 3 and 4 petitions

#

They could be picked in the 20k cap after that and 6k out of the 10k L1 applicants will also get a visa

craggy mango Jan 10, 2021, 3:01 AM

#

it's based on wage levels, so location and role will determine your level

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 3:02 AM

#

So people are classified to a level based on their base salary according to their location and role

#

And there are 4 levels and the order of preference is in descending order

#

So you could basically check the lca wage levels for your position in your city and see for yourself if you're eligible or not

#

Yup

It's way better than lottery for sure

I don't really want the country cap to be gone but there are details in that, which would ease out things for people who are already on h1b

I read 10 on blind but I’m not sure how true it is

#

If it passes this year it will be in law from 2023

#

The country caps thing is transitional

#

removing country caps is a bad move imo

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

So it's gonna take 10 years for 100% of the visas to not be country capped

craggy mango Jan 10, 2021, 3:20 AM

#

it'll just be like 90% indians getting gc then

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 3:21 AM

#

Well it would clear the backlog that india and china are facing

molten gyro Jan 10, 2021, 3:21 AM

#

I understand the problem that Indians face, but that rule would oversaturate a market thats already saturated

#

Everyone in my internship last summer was Indian

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 3:22 AM

#

But with the new h1b wage allocation it won't be 90% but Indians will be hugely benefited by that

#

Hopefully I’ll apply for GC by 2023 so I’m good

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 3:24 AM

#

Well I just want the restrictions to ease out on h1b idc if I don't get a green card so I don't mind country cap not being removed. I just want to be sure that I won't lose my job if I go to India to visit my parents

#

Travel restrictions are horrible for h1bs

molten gyro Jan 10, 2021, 3:25 AM

#

Yeah. I’m trying to go from F1 to GC

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 3:26 AM

#

molten gyro Yeah. I’m trying to go from F1 to GC

Umm that's risky but doable

#

You need to do it in your 2 year stem extension tho

#

I don't think they will give you a stem extension if they know you applied for a gc coz F1 is non immigrant visa

#

And you also can't travel in those two years outside the country if you apply for gc

#

Lol ofc

#

You need to be employed and they might cancel your visa at the airport for absurd reasons but this seldom happen but still a risk

#

So traveling is a risk

#

And you also can't start a business on h1b

#

Gc is basically a citizenship without voting rights

cunning umbra I don't think they will give you a stem extension if they know you applied for a...

Yeah I know hehe. I’ll talk to an immigrant attorney before I do anything

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 3:33 AM

#

molten gyro Yeah I know hehe. I’ll talk to an immigrant attorney before I do anything

Yup good luck to you

#

Let's calculate this ok, there is about 741k backlog for indians by April 2020

#

There are 140k gc given per year for employment

#

And it would also make it harder for WITCH companies to abuse the system

#

The wage level allocation already makes it difficult for them to get h1b.

#

I think the wait time would still be 15 years for indian and rest of the world will also have similar wait times

#

Btw if you could, can you send me the the link so that I can read that report

cunning umbra Jan 10, 2021, 4:08 AM

#

Why is the backlog increasing?

#

Well looking at this, it looks like it helps no one

#

Not row or indians or Chinese

#

The best for indians to have a gc is have kids and wait for em to be 21 years old when they can sponsor you for gc lol

#

I knew I won't get a gc when I got here so I don't mind

#

Lol

#

What if you don't get married to a citizen lol

#

I don't understand how the backlog is growing when amendment will be made to h1b

#

So that Indian nationals won't clump up the h1bs

#

Lol I'm against S386 if those are the outcomes

#

well for me its alright i can go back to india or other countries but for people who had kids here, its very difficult to change their lives

#

especially if their kids arent citizens and they are brought here as kids
