Hi Peter - thank you for this! I am from Mexico and working on STEM OPT on an expired F1 (can't travel), lost H1B lottery two years in a row now.

Are there good reasons for Mexicans on STEM OPT who intend to get a GC to keep entering H1B lottery, instead of getting a TN visa and attempting change of status? Are there other avenues?

Thank you!

Calibre is my favourite product - been using it for more than a decade now. So happy to see it top the front page here.

yes, but there are also things done because "they have always been done this way." That's also a dangerous pattern imo.

Democratizing the spread of ideas can help prevents privileged groups from controlling discourse. In the past you were subject to what you could broadcast on radio/tv or publish in print -- many of these options were out of reach for POCs, women, ppl in poverty.
