Uh, I know someone who is currently on family visit back here in Europe and due back to the US in a few days. I think they are on a H1B, let's see how that'll turn out.

My understanding is that this incentivizes US firms to hire people in their overseas offices (and open more overseas offices) I expect Canadian branches of big tech companies will get a whole lot more immigrant hires over the next few years

What's interesting is that neither Amazon not Microsoft (at least in the published memos) offer their corporate travel services to assist with expediting rush travel back to the US.

CBP (Customs and Border Protection) have confirmed this doesn't affect existing visa holders too twitter.com/cbp/status/1...

Extremely Black Mirror shit to imagine some border agent looking at the official memo he got from his boss, and also a social media feed, trying to figure out which one is authoritative

It’s almost like they’re making this up as they go along and this isn’t based on a rational strategy.

I feel like continuing to refer to it as Twitter ignores what was deliberately done to it. It's Istanbul, not Constantinople… been a long time gone! 😜

This now seems to hit the press too ->

We got US citizenship last year thankfully

USA is actually going all out to make itself totally unattractive to highly skilled and educated workers. Competitor countries cannot get enough of them.

This might also be noteworthy ->

Thanks for the advice 👍
