Are you sure that is correct? According to results from googling you get 60 days to find a new job if you got laid off from H1B job. https://www.stilt.com/blog/2020/05/steps-after-an-h1b-layoff... . Ps: to someone who downvoted, what don't you agree with?

HN discussion> [Mechanic brother] sees a lot of drivers who have a 3 year old car with 200k miles on them and basically a new car worth of repairs needed. At the median rate for my city (Boston), those drivers were paid $1.07/mile* or $214K. They probably paid under $50K in gas, oil, tires, and repairs to that point, so they’re quite a bit ahead even if they have to throw the car away . Even at $0.66/mile for some of the worse c…

HN discussionAn green card holder is a permanent resident. I think they will keep renewing you unless for example you didn't file taxes or committed a serious crime or things like that. https://www.stilt.com/blog/2020/05/green-card-renewal-denied...

HN discussionUber drivers earn roughly $0.70/mile[1]. Gas at $3/gal and MPGs at 25mpg mean it costs $0.12/mi in fuel. a $30k vehicle driven to 150k miles costs roughly $0.20/mi in depreciation. Without additional maintenance costs, its roughly $0.32/mi to drive a car. Approximating tires, oil changes, brakes, and other maintenance of roughly $0.15/mi, you're looking at total cost to drive at $0.45-0.50/mi. Do you think most Uber…

HN discussion400,000 current H-1B visa holders[0] divided by 999 at-risk holders (article describes "hundreds") leaves us with less than 0.25% of the visa-holding population at risk. It's very possible that I'm heavily overstating that percentage. How is this even news? [0] https://www.stilt.com/blog/2019/04/h1b-visa-holders-in-usa/

on “H-1B visa holders scramble for jobs after 2022 tech layoffs”> What are the main drivers of the crypto hate here on HN? The massive quantities of shallow fraud and bankrupt integrity that is either at the core of or openly embraced by the industry does it for me. But I suspect the frequent, confident inaccuracies in respect of the financial system parroted by many crypto enthusiasts particularly grates this community. I haven’t written it off yet. But it’s never going to be l…

on “Show HN: Builder.io – Drag and drop page building for any site”Not sure where you are getting your information, you will get an EAD while waiting for your GC backlog to clear: https://www.stilt.com/blog/2019/05/gc-ead/ . This EAD allows you to switch employers and even remain unemployed for awhile (though when you GC eventually becomes current, you may get denied if unemployed).
