I’d argue the H1B Visa’s appeal has stayed roughly the same. Yes, layoffs have created short-term challenges, but those are part of cyclical economic changes. The U.S. economy has always bounced back, and so has demand for skilled talent. In fact, layoffs might even create new opportunities. Many skilled workers laid off from big companies move into startups or entrepreneurial ventures, which can be just as rewarding. For ambitious professionals, the H1B is still a ticket to playing in the biggest innovation arena in the world. So, while there’s more uncertainty today, the overall attractiveness of the H1B Visa hasn’t diminished significantly in my view.

It was built to welcome the British king and queen. King George V and Queen Mary visited India back in 1911. The gateway was basically a massive welcome arch for them. It marked the spot where they first stepped onto Indian soil.

Funny thing is, the arch wasn't actually ready for their visit. They only saw a cardboard model of it! The real stone structure took many years to build. It was finally finished in 1924. So, it was made to remember their visit, but they never saw the real thing. It's a pretty impressive sight, right on the water.
