Have started seeing lot of Indian drivers in Bay Area lately, has anything changed in terms of visa / eligibility for being a driver?
The Indians you see driving for Uber/Lyft are probably beneficiaries of chain migration. Everyone knows Indians have a 70-150 year wait time for a GC when they are on an H-1B visa.
what happens if I drive Uber on H1 Visa? will I be deported? it's not like I'm gonna get GC before I die. might as well make some extra cash on the side if they're not gonna deport me. 😂
Finally, they get the job they’ve been dreaming of since childhood. That of an Uber driver.
Still a honest buck! What would you like them to do - rob you, sell drugs?
And employ you at MS or Google so you can have your dream job.

I have heard that MS students are driving uber/lyft on OPT. Not all can land jobs due to uncertainty in H1b lottery. employers are having a tough time to accommodate the ones already employed on OPT but didn’t get picked in the H1b lottery, so they are limiting the new hires who would be on OPT
Wait what, is that legal ?
I don’t think so. The OPT only gets approved from a STEM verified employer from what I know
Bunch of gults as well
How old are these drivers look like? If they aren’t like 100+ years old for waiting in line, possibly they lied to the immigration officer.
Recently being racist became fad .. maybe that is why you are noticing Indian drivers

I take Uber pool everyday for my work and I can recognize a trend / pattern, there’s nothing to be racist here, I’m in fact happy for these students.
Cannot be Indians. Must be Pakistanis or Bangladeshis. They have a shorter wait time to get GC.
