>Microsoft is a relative underdog now (among the tech giants).

How do you define a Tech giant?

By Market cap they are #1. Here are top 5.

1. Microsoft $895B 2. Apple $888B 3. Amazon $867B 4. Google $816B 5. Facebook $473B

They have been in top 3 for last 30 years with a robust business model. They missed on Mobile and search but hey it would be hard for any tech company to top in each market.

>India mostly allowed free access to US tech companies for a while.

Tech companies allowed it as well because they wanted to capture Indian mindshare which would eventually become their largest customer base.

Hey Peter,

Thanks for doing this AMA. My question is regarding EB1A. I work in large tech firm in US, have masters degree in CS, with couple of IEEE publications and some US approved patents. Original work with total citation count ~40. I am in critical engineering role in my company in their flagship product (can get recommendations as well if needed). What are my chances for EB1? Thanks again!

do you see any changes coming to EB5 program? Apart from delays which are potential downsides? Thanks!

Hey Peter, How much does number of citations to patent(s) matter? If it does, do they look at total number of citations for all patents combined? How many citations are considered 'good'? Thank you!
