✅lets give green cards to IIT, IIM graduates and other great Indian talents from Top 100 US schools. 👍 (and those who work at FANG, top universities and research institutes etc) 🙅♂️ICC abusers, H1b gamers from india, please wait in the queue. You guys caused the backlog for your fellow Indians and you deserve the wait! ❌
IIT and IIM people should work for India not US. Indian government subsidises for their education. They have the smartest brains to do anything in life. GC should be give to mediocre people because they are the ones who need support to as they lack brain power and survival skills.
"they have the smartest brains", or just spend years cramming for the sole purpose of answering an exam, only to never touch the subjects they studied ever again
Cramming is skill that people who can't master it are jealous. We all do cramming of some sort in life but are jealous of IIT and IIM guys because some didn't manage to crack it. I know many friends from IITs and IIMs who though crammers have extraordinary mental capabilities and they are very knowledgeable, enlightened in many areas of life.
IITs and IIMs are less than mediocre. U.S., U.K., Canada, China, Singapore, Japan, Russia, Germany, France, etc all have mid-level schools that are better than the best IIT. See where Indian schools are ranked: https://cwur.org/2018-19.php (ranked 400s - 600) https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/rankings (ranked 500s - 700s) https://www.timeshighereducation.com/student/best-universities/best-universities-world (unranked, lol)
At least they are among the best in India!
Take top 100 companies, looks at their top employees CEOs, VPs.., everywhere you will see IIT and IIM grads. You can't value them based on college ranking. They have managed to crack toughest exams even before 20 years of age. I'm not an IIT an or IIM grad but have huge respect for majority of them, not all though.
@goog hooli, doesn't matter. who do you work for now btw..??
To me, merit is equal to average amount of taxes paid. So the top of queue won't be by priority date, it would be the sum of taxes paid divided by length of wait. BTW I'm not Indian so I don't have a personally vested interest in the GC queue. I just want to optimize the US government earnings from individuals.
agreed
Like this idea. But would also consider those working at universities and research institutions. their tax paid per year might not be super high, but their contribution to this country might be high (social goods)
Let's give EB Green card a different queue with higher priority to those who have at least a US advanced degree, just like what H1b does.
... top 100, or maybe at least accredited colleges. Telugus have already started many fake colleges. They will start more fake colleges.
Hehehe, you guys keep shouting at each other for how good IIT/IIM folks are (something which need to discussion). My IITian friends are returning back to India because they can earn in Crores here, and can afford 5 servants, whereas they can earn at best 450K at Bay area.
Today is Saturday and it's 4:40 pm in India. Do you know why I am sitting in office on Saturday? Your "Smart" IIT kanpur CS grad took down the production system yesterday by "mistake". He was working on this feature for 2 months. Now I have to clean up his mess. If in the next 30 minutes the issue is not resolved this dumbass IIT grad sitting next to me won't have teeth left. We don't even have blue-green deployment setup. Because that too was assigned to him months ago.
Everyone is blabbering so much about iit/iim grads being meritorious and what not, did everyone forget about the reservation system in India? Sure they graduated, but are you sure that they got in only because of merit?
Forgot to add : it does makes sense to have a better system for gc through meritocracy but where you graduated from does not make as much sense when talking about meritocracy.
Joke- how do you know a person/ OP is from an IIT/ IIM- they tell you within the first 5 minutes (was told to me by one of my directs who happened to be from an IIT- oh man, was he insufferable) Man, talk about privilege, not everyone is form a top notch schooling background, but they for sure AF are talented, in some cases more than you with your education pedigree.
Well bragging is pretty common an people always show off whatever they can. I have seen people showing off a harvard degree even though all they had was a 2 weeks short course. I have seen poeple who didn't even go to harvard and lying to everyone that they did. My roommate shows off my expensive car to his family/ distant relatives and tells them it's his. Right on my face. Same holds true for people who work top companies. Same holds true for poeple from USA/UK other high per capita countries. Every single person from these countries I have met will tell you withing first 5 minutes that they are from 1St WORLD and how 3rd WORLD is bad. Infact every brit, french i meet all brag about the fact that they like to use fork and knife. So, the point is show off is common. More common than you think. People like to feel better than others and will build narratives/ rhetoric to prove it.

IIT/IIM grads ≠ the only meritorious people from India. Otherwise, agree. Let companies decide what merit means — prioritize for each role based on salary (eg. Your salary must be greater than the market average for the role you're going to join)
Fair enough. The merit-based scoring function should also consider tax paid per year, occupation, area of research, citations etc. Saw so many great Indian friends / coworkers waiting for GC for too long (unfair to them), but abusers keep coming to ICC. Sad.
Bigger salary != merit. There are hundreds of fat cats getting paid shitloads of money to do nothing while the menial worker bees do all the work.
