Tragically, there appears to have been an investigative time lag after his ex-wife’s body was discovered.
Apparently his “kill list” was not discovered until after he murdered his professor and committed suicide.
From what I hear professors routinely take students ideas and claim them as their own. Kind of the way managers do in business.
The Police did not discover his ex-wife’s body until after they discovered her name on the “kill list.”
It is not quite that easy. First, if he came here under a student visa, he must apply for a change of status from F-1 to H-1B. He would have to find a company that would sponsor him, which is not that easy given the various requirements and the limited number of H-1B visas available annually, i.e., 65,000.
USCIS is closely scrutinizing applications lately to ensure that the sponsoring companies are indeed who they say they are and not a way to bring in immigrants who have no intention of returning home. There has been extensive fraud, especially among Indians, to set up these phony companies to bring in people for a profit. And once you stop working for a company, you must find another sponsor, or else you must go home. The total H1B visa time is six years. A company can sponsor you for permanent immigrant status. If not, you must go home for at least a year, then apply again.
There are plenty of other rules and regulations that can impact someone trying to change an F-1 to an H-1B, but suffice it to say, given Sarkar's educational pedigree, he could parlay that into an H-1B.
I would like to see a chronology of his immigration status from the time he arrived here until now. I venture to say that there is a reasonable possibility that he is in violation of his immigration status.
40% of the 12 to 20 million illegal aliens came here legally and overstayed their visas. It is also instructive to know that 60% of all green cards are issued to people already here thru a change of status. Once you get here, it is very difficult to deport you, especially under Obama who has virtually stopped enforcing our immigration laws.
Did you read #15, as previously suggested?
Sarkar also killed his ex-wife in Minnesota. Seems he’s left a trail from Minn to CA.
Did you read my response post #31?
Yep. But you keep asking the same question over and over.
What is the question you think I am asking over and over again?
Please go buy a clue or give it up and moveon.com....
I believe we agree on everything except one point.
Currently, about 200,000 foreign STEM graduates are working full time in the USA under various kinds of non-H1B visas: student, internship, training, travel, etc.
You seem to imply that foreign STEMs cannot apply for Green Cards unless they have a H1B visa. I believe that is incorrect, but I don't have a link that confirms my belief.
I do know one thing for certain via a Center for Immigration Studies researcher:
80% of Chinese, Indian, Russian, and Eastern European STEM PhDs are still working in the USA five years after they received their degrees.
I was referring specifically to foreign students here on student visas. They can receice authorization to work while being a student, but they cannot continue working without a change in status. They need sponsorship of a business to stay and work here. The Obama administration and even Bush have facilitated this transition from student to work. In addition to the 65,000 H-1B visa annual cap, there is an additional 20,000 H-1B visas for STEM graduates plus an additional exemption for non-profit organizations. And Obama has issued an executive order allowing spouses of H-1B holders to work.
The bottom line is that there is no shortage of STEM workers. Here is an excellent CIS study on the issue Is There a STEM Worker Shortage?
The proposed TPP will allow foreign companies to import their own workers into the US. Jeff Sessions has written extensively on its impact on our workers.
They may require a “change of status” but they don't require a H1B. A STEM with a B.S. can work full time for 30 months without a H1B, and legislation was being negotiated last year to increase that non-H1B work status to 6 years.
I don't know the specific non-H1B opportunities for STEM Masters Degrees.
But, the Chinese, Indian, etc. STEM PhDs who are still working in the USA five years after graduation do not have H1Bs.
Re: “...plus an additional exemption for non-profit organizations.”
That also includes unlimited exemptions for universities and government agencies of any kind. The Department of Defense can hire and renew exempt H1Bs for up to ten years.
Many universities actually subcontract federally funded research, then hire H1Bs, then staff the subcontractor with exempt H1Bs.
