The #TrumpOrganization has consistently made use of temporary #visa programs to hire #ForeignWorkers for #MarALago, 4 #Trump #GolfClubs & his Virginia #winery — filing to bring in at least 1,880 seasonal workers since 2008, including 382 during Trump’s 1st term, acc/to Dept of #Labor data.

The company’s use of short-term, temporary visas has increased steadily in recent years, from requesting 121 in 2021 to asking for a high of 178 in 2024.

This is a pretty good journey through the mess that is the H1-B and Green Card process in the US, which is heavily used by the tech industry.

The article focuses on PERM listings, which are ads for positions *that you have already filled* with H1-B visa holders, so that you can apply for employment-based green cards for the same people.

I must admit that I’m a beneficiary of said system: I got an H1-B, got an employer to advertise the same position I already held for PERM compliance, got my green card, and successfully applied for US citizenship in a process that took more than a decade. But there is no denying that the system is perverse and broken, and doesn’t do anything close to what it purports to do. There are also corner cases that workers fall into where they are either deported or become essentially indentured workers to a company as long as they want to stay in the US.

The Indian government already has three mostly similar versions of my answers for the one-year business eVisa application.

I'm pretty sure that they will use the differences in details as a reason why I shouldn't be allowed, do they wish to do so.

Like Melania Knauss, the #HateCrime suspect in the #Boulder attack had overstayed his work #visa. Employed as an accountant, under #education his résumé listed Al-Azhar ‘#University ‘ - a historic center for (only?) Islamic and Arabic learning located in Cairo, #Egypt. huffpost.com/entry/boulder-ter
