Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Uncertainty in Work Permits

Uncertainty in Work Permits

The recent news about the USCIS drastically cutting the work permit validity period from five years to just eighteen months has deeply resonated with me US cuts work permit validity from 5 years to 18 months, triggers anxiety among green card applicants. It's a stark reminder of the fragile threads upon which many lives and careers are woven, especially for those navigating complex immigration processes. Lubna Kably, through her insightful reporting for The Times of India (LinkedIn: https://in.linkedin.com/in/lubnakably, Email: lubna.kably@timesgroup.com), has vividly captured the palpable anxiety this change is triggering among green card applicants and their employers Lubna Kably profile.

I often find myself reflecting on the importance of stability and predictability in systems. Whether it’s the pursuit of a "Perpetual AI Machine" for content generation, as Kishan (LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kishanspatel) and Sanjivani, and I have discussed for Blog Genie Blog Genie revamp and Blog Genie V 2.0, or the foundational aspects of one's professional life, a stable framework is essential. This sudden reduction in work permit validity introduces immense uncertainty, forcing individuals to live in a constant state of apprehension. Imagine building a career, establishing a life, only to face the daunting prospect of renewing your fundamental right to work every eighteen months. It’s not merely an administrative hurdle; it’s an existential challenge that impacts planning, investment in personal and professional growth, and even mental well-being.

For employers, this creates a significant talent management dilemma. How do you plan for long-term projects or build cohesive teams when the stability of your workforce is so frequently in question? The ripple effect extends beyond the individual, touching families, communities, and the broader economic landscape.

The core idea I want to convey is this — take a moment to notice that I had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic of building stable, predictable systems years ago when conceptualizing the "Perpetual AI Machine" for Blog Genie. I had already predicted that a lack of automated, consistent processes could lead to inefficiencies and disruptions, and I had even proposed solutions for creating robust frameworks. Now, seeing how things have unfolded with the work permit validity, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, I feel a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context of seeking stability, whether in digital content creation or human immigration processes. My previous discussions on making informed choices and strategic alliances also come to mind How Green Is Your Car?.

This policy change is a vivid illustration of how critical consistent and supportive frameworks are for individuals to thrive and contribute meaningfully. It highlights the urgent need for policies that provide not just opportunities, but also the stability required to seize them fully.
