The H-1B has given me so many opportunities. But even after 12 years, my life in the US feels unstable and temporary because of it.
Surbhi Madan, a Google software engineer, has been on an H1-B visa for 12 years. While the visa has enabled her to grow her career, it also leaves her with a sense of instability. The visa has affected everything from the leases she signs to whether she will freeze her eggs. This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Surbhi Madan, 30, a senior software engineer at Google. She lives in New York. It has been edited for length and clarity. Business Insider has verified her employment and visa details. I came to the US in 2013 to pursue a bachelor's at Brown University. I was inspired by my older brother, who went to the US for his master's and liked the teaching approach. College was a big cultural adjustment, and I wasn't prepared for how cold the East Coast got. Still, I loved building an independent life, finding new hobbies, and meeting people from all over the world. During my four years of college, I didn't think seriously about my long-term future in the US. I interned at Google's New York office one summer and landed a full time offer with the company a semester before I graduated. I kicked off the process for my Optional Practical Training and received my H-1B visa in the lottery on my first try. While the one-third probability of getting picked in the lottery remains the same since I applied in 2017, the job market when I graduated felt better. Companies were hiring and willing to sponsor H-1B applications. I feel like I got really lucky when I compare it to the situation for recent graduates now. Long-term stability I've been with Google for eight years and have grown to become a senior software engineer. I'm in a phase of my life where I'm thinking about long-term stability. I'm looking for leadership roles and have considered a career change. In college, I was a teaching assistant, and I still volunteer for teaching opportunities, especially for women in tech causes. I've thought about pivoting into a teacher career or pursuing teaching opportunities along with a full-time job, but a work visa like the H-1B doesn't allow for either of those options. I enjoy my work, but there is an internal expectation to do well because my performance is the only thing in my hands. I cannot control the economy or the layoffs that have been sweeping tech. I'm not putting down roots I've been living in the US for 12 years. My challenges feel very different from my friends who are US citizens. I have friends involved in activities like bike lane advocacy in New York. I refrain from volunteering because it means contacting my immigration lawyer to make sure it's safe to get involved. I'm anxious about making mistakes when I drive or file taxes because I don't want anything to threaten my stay in the country. Because of the visa, my life in the US feels temporary. I have friends who are buying apartments. I find it hard to put down permanent roots. I have an option to renew my apartment lease for one or two years, and I always choose one year because I never know how long I'll be allowed to live in the US. One time, I was returning to the US after traveling abroad. At immigration, a US border officer asked me about the purpose of my visit, to which I replied, "I live here." I remember him saying, "You don't live here; you work here," which left a mark on me. I remember thinking: "It's true." My visa has become a consideration in my family planning, too. I'm 30, and I have been looking into egg freezing as an option. While researching the process, I thought about what would happen if I no longer had working rights in the US and wanted to retrieve the eggs. I had this vision of rolling into the US on a tourist visa with a suitcase to pick up my eggs, and I thought: "It's not worth it." I also can't imagine having a person depend on me while I'm on a temporary status tied to having a job. Once a year, I sit down and have a check-in with myself. I take into account the last few years, and the anxiety I feel about the future, and ask myself if this is still worth it. The answer has been yes — so far. On the days I feel anxious, I try to refocus on the things in my control. I also have a decent financial cushion by now, which is another benefit of working in tech in the US for eight years. This story is part of a project on the experiences of Indian H-1B holders working in tech. Read the full story here. Read the original article on Business Insider Solve the daily Crossword

Chicago Air & Water Show soars and stuns over lakefront
Crouched down, Thaliya Martinez fidgeted with her camera lens, preparing for a day of photographing aircraft at Chicago's annual Air & Water Show. Martinez, a freelance photographer and member of the Army National Guard, said she aspires to be a pilot one day. '(Flying) is just so fascinating,' said Martinez, who came to the show for the second time ever. 'Because it just proves that anything is possible.' The 2025 Chicago Air & Water Show took off Saturday morning with organizers expecting over 1 million attendees throughout the weekend. Known as the biggest event of its kind in the country, the show drew locals and visitors alike to Chicago's lakefront beaches. The show featured the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds and the U.S. Army Parachute Team Golden Knights, both military groups that have performed in the show since the 1960s. A host of other military and civilian performers from the Marines, Coast Guard, Chicago Fire Department and Chicago Police Department also took to the skies. For Armen Tatevosian, a pilot who served in the Air Force, the show's performers did an amazing job executing their routines, even as some cloud cover swept along the beaches in the afternoon. 'Just the skill that these guys have are amazing,' he said. Tatevosian has come to the Air & Water Show for more than 20 years, and said the more technologically advanced aircraft have been 'awesome' to see. He attended Saturday's show with his wife and son. The Osprey tiltrotor aircraft and Thunderbirds were some of the Tatevosian family's favorite parts, he and his wife said. The air show also brought spectators from around the globe. Adrian Webster, an aviation photographer from the United Kingdom, flew to Chicago Thursday to take pictures of the performances during the weekend. Webster said air shows in Europe often don't allow aircraft to fly beyond a certain display line in the water. At Chicago's show, pilots frequently dipped close to the city's skyline, which he said was a 'completely different dynamic.' 'I've watched God-knows-how-much stuff online about U.S. air shows,' Webster said. 'Really wanted to go to one, so here I am.' Webster said he was most excited to photograph the B-2 Lancer, adding he hoped 'the aviation gods are on my side today.' Win Win, a data engineer who lives in the Wicker Park neighborhood, biked down to the Air & Water Show with less than an hour left in Saturday's schedule. He was able to catch the Thunderbirds' performance. 'It just mind-blows me that humans can … do these mind-blowing tricks with airplanes at high speeds — just like that,' Win said, gesturing to the Thunderbirds splitting off into all different directions overhead. He said he's 'for sure' returning to the show next year. The 'precision' action during some routines, like two planes flying so close they look like they're about to touch, were some of the highlights of the show. Martinez is a few years out from earning the certifications she needs to become a pilot, she said. As a Black woman, she's excited to enter a field in which people like her are underrepresented, she added. According to Sisters of the Skies, a pilots association, less than 1% of professional pilots in the U.S. are Black women. Saturday's show was one more way to increase her familiarity with aviation photography and flight itself, Martinez said. 'I'm looking to get some better shots, new angles,' she said. The show continues Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The LG USB-C monitor is just $170 for a short time
It's one of the most unassuming monitors you'll ever see. Depicting itself with a simple screen that says 'LG Monitor' without any of the accolades, 'ultras,' or blue light blocking features (which are present for this monitor) this LG monitor can seem plain. However, the LG 27U631A-B (which we'll be referring to as the LG 27 USB-C Monitor) has a better stat profile than you might think and, with this deal, a very reasonable price. Usually $250, you can now get the monitor for $80 off, rendering it just $170. You can even save 5% or 10% more for buying 2 or 3 monitors, respectively, in LG's 'Buy More, Save More' event. It really makes it one of the best USB-C monitors you can buy today, an easily accessible pickup found by tapping the button below. Read on to see exactly why. Why you should buy the LG 27 USB-C Monitor This 27-inch monitor has a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixel) resolution with a smooth 100Hz refresh rate, HDR10 for a wide color gamut, and a USB-C connection with 15W power delivery. This makes it an excellent hub for your computing gear, and a great monitor to connect your laptop to when you're planning on sticking close to your home. There's a reading mode for low blue light and casual reading before bed, too. Finally, one interesting quirk of this monitor is that it has built-in webOS streaming, making it a sort of TV-lite. The LG 27 USB-C Monitor is now down to a price of just $170 after an $80 discount is applied to its regular price of $250. Compared to other monitors like it out there today (especially in a new era of tariffs) it's an incredible price point, especially when you can save an additional 5% or 10% if you buy 2 or 3 monitors instead of just the one. That makes this a great deal for those looking to expand the home office for everyone in the family. Looking for a something different? Check out these other monitor deals instead.
