70% H-1B approvals from India in FY 2025 revealed in new report, US senator surprised
A new USCIS report shows that 70% of H-1B approvals in FY 2025 were from Indian applicants.
Senator Eric Schmidt expressed surprise at the latest official report on H-1B for FY 2025, where India tops the list of countries with 283,772 approvals, followed by China with 49,161 approvals. The senator wrote, sharing excerpts from the report, “While Washington pats itself on the back, American workers are told to “up-skill” or be replaced by H-1B hires. The entire system is designed to let companies take advantage of the law while American graduates and workers pay the price.” Blaming Big Tech, Schmidt said they are encouraging this despicable practice by laying off American workers.“An ex-visa officer in India shares dirty secret: 70-90% of Indian applicants cheat the system with fake credentials. Then, Indian workers hire themselves, eliminating American jobs. “Once they’re in, they stay, they bring in more, while the American talent is left out,” Schmutt said, citing earlier interviews with US Foreign Service officer Mahwash Siddiqui to make the case.
On Chinese H-1Bs, Schmidt said the Chinese are flooding sensitive science and technology roles and through them the CCP is stealing US IP and spying on American companies. “Why should the American people lose their jobs for funding CCP crimes?”Immigration entrepreneur James Blunt spoke about the numbers and the panic, saying it was “very low for a trillion dollar economy”. “So we went from a ‘flood of millions’ to ~400,000 approvals… with ~70% of people here already renewing. That’s very low for a trillion-dollar economy. If the argument requires inflated numbers to work, it’s probably not a strong argument to begin with. Although I appreciate you posting the actual data, it tells a very different story,” Blunt said, responding to Schmidt’s post. Said that India’s approved H-1B number is like a few high schools. The value of people and “not flooding the market”.
West Bengal Verdict: Along with Mamata’s enemy Suvendu Adhikari, Amit Shah plotted her downfall. india news
New Delhi: Fielding Suvendu Adhikari – who defeated the CM Mamata Banerjee In his constituency, Nandigram, in 2021 – it was only the beginning of the Union Minister against him in Bhabanipur Amit ShahA determined effort to defeat the TMC supremo in her own backyard. What followed was tough groundwork and precise execution of focused management, which ultimately led to his stunning downfall, leading to the collapse of his party in Bengal – Suvendu’s giant-killing feat was the most dramatic upset in the elections. But behind the headlines was a lot of ‘quiet work’ done under Shah’s watch. Sources in the know in the BJP say that the Home Minister was determined to make every possible effort to defeat Mamata in her stronghold, as she had prepared the way for BJP’s victory.
.
With the belligerent Suvendu proving unsuccessful, Shah planned to prepare a dedicated team for Bhabanipur to ensure effective implementation of his strategy. Every night he spent in Kolkata, he held meetings entirely focused on this seat, said a source close to the BJP campaign.Read this also Iron barrier fell, path to Mamata Banerjee’s house opened for publicThe constituency had about 25,000 Gujarati voters and 21,000 Marwari voters, the balancing communities, Shah met their groups separately and they shared their views, an informal dinner provided a cordial atmosphere. These communities alleged that TMC members resorted to strong-arm tactics to prevent them from voting in earlier elections and that fake votes were often cast in their names. “He said that if his society was provided security, they would be able to vote freely. Shah ensured that security arrangements were made at every such place,” a BJP functionary said.
.
Shah’s team also appointed a dedicated booth-level in-charge at each booth in Bhawanipur. His job was twofold – to flag any internal rifts within the party and to report any TMC threats on the ground. Shah’s personal goal was to get all BJP workers to vote before 11 am and then work to ensure maximum turnout for the party. BJP members, including MLAs from other states with whom different communities may belong, were also deployed. Through the SIR process, around 47,000 names were removed from the voter list in Bhabanipur – these were either dead voters or duplicate entries which the TMC alleged were exploited to cast fake votes. Eventually all efforts came together and Mamata suffered a crushing defeat by over 15,000 votes, which very few people had expected, although she alleged that the elections were stolen from her and her party through undemocratic means.

उत्तर प्रदेश के फतेहपुर जिले से एक बेहद चौंकाने वाला मामला सामने आया है, जिससे इलाके में हड़कंप मच गया है. मामला मलवां थाना क्षेत्र के बढ़ैयापुर गांव का है, जहां एक युवक की पीट-पीटकर बेरहमी से हत्या कर दी गई. बताया जा रहा है कि युवक अपनी शादीशुदा प्रेमिका से मिलने उसके ससुराल गया था. इसी बीच प्रेमिका के पति और परिजनों ने उसे पकड़ लिया और भैंस चोरी का आरोप लगाकर पीटना शुरू कर दिया, जिससे उसकी मौत हो गई.
प्रेमिका ने बुलाया तो पति ने पकड़कर पीटा
जानकारी के मुताबिक, मृतक कमलेश प्रजापति (42) निवासी भिटौरा थाना हुसैनगंज पहले से ही तारा देवी नाम की महिला के संपर्क में था. तारा देवी की शादी बढ़ैयापुर गांव में हुई थी. आरोप है कि महिला ने ही रात में मिलने के लिए कमलेश को बुलाया था। जब वह वहां पहुंचा तो महिला के पति मानसिंह और परिवार के अन्य सदस्यों ने उसे देख लिया। इसके बाद उन्होंने भैंस चोरी का शोर मचा दिया और कमलेश को पकड़कर लाठी-डंडों से बुरी तरह पीटना शुरू कर दिया।

Original Sabarimala PIL should have been dismissed: Supreme Court india news
New Delhi: A nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court led by CJI Surya Kant on Tuesday said the Supreme Court should have thrown into the dustbin the original PIL in 2006 which had struck down the practice of restricting entry of women in the age group of 10 to 50 years in the Sabarimala Ayyappa temple. “All India Young Lawyers Association”, which had filed the PIL in 2006 through its president Naushad Ali, through senior advocate RP Gupta explained how the petition challenging the ban was filed due to the misbehavior of the Ayyappa temple tantri. A bench led by CJI Kant said that the Supreme Court could have ordered a probe into the misconduct to punish the culprits. But based on newspaper reports, the PIL could not be considered.The bench said, “The SC had considered the PIL on the basis of ‘documents’ which should have been thrown in the dustbin. Locus standi was generated on the basis of newspaper reports. The SC should have ensured that action against the culprit is expedited and nothing more.” The nine-judge bench includes CJI Kant, Justice BV Nagarathna, MM Sundaresh, Ahsanuddin Amanullah, Arvind Kumar, Augustine G Masih, Prasanna B Varale, R Mahadevan and Joymalya Bagchi. Justice Kumar asked whether the lawyers’ body had passed any resolution to file PIL and whether it was a registered body. Gupta said no resolution was reached and although Naushad Ali was only a nominal lender, he and his lawyer were threatened. Gupta said, “The then CJI Deepak Mishra, who was the architect of the controversial decision, had offered security to the petitioner and his lawyer. Then CJI Mishra had said that even if the petitioner wanted to withdraw the PIL, the court would not allow it.” CJI Kant said, “So was it actually a suo motu petition (taken up by the court itself) filed by the petitioner organization?” The suggestion that the case was, in fact, prepared by a bench led by the then CJI Mishra found some vindication in Justice Nagarathna’s comment: “This is a realistic assessment of the CJI (Kant).”Justice Nagarathna said, “The former CJI had offered security to you and the president of the petitioner organization. He could have ensured that you did not face any security threat by not entertaining the petition. Why would a person who does not believe in Ayyappa question the decades-long temple customs based on the faith and belief of the devotees?” He asked, “Are you the chief priest of the country who will question the temple customs and say how such a practice can happen in the Ayyappa temple of Sabarimala.” Justice Sundaresh said this appeared to be a clear case of abuse of the process of law. Justice Nagarathna said the Supreme Court now considers genuine public interest litigations and is strictly against personal-publicity-money-political interest litigations.
New FBI investigation by USCIS for green cards: Who will be affected?
Green card applications will now receive stronger FBI background checks.
Checking FBI databases to check immigration applications is nothing new, but now with the introduction of new enhanced security checks, USCIS has greater access to the FBI’s criminal history database. CBS News reported that the administration has asked some cases to be put on hold as the new changes are being implemented. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services distributed internal guidance to its officials directing them to resubmit pending applications for immigration benefits, including asylum, green cards and U.S. citizenship, to increase FBI background checks.Officials were directed to avoid giving approval to any pending cases that have not undergone detailed background check.The order directed the Justice Department, which oversees the FBI, to provide USCIS access to its criminal history database “to the maximum extent permitted by law” to identify criminal actors.If FBI information about related cases was received before April 27, USCIS officers were instructed to resubmit fingerprint-based screening. Officials were told that re-submission is not necessary if they intend to reject an application.USCIS spokesman Zach Kahler told CBS that the agency has “implemented new security checks to strengthen vetting and screening of applicants through expanded access to federal criminal databases.”Kahler said, “The process is ongoing as we implement these enhanced background check requirements. Any delays in issuing a decision should be brief and resolved quickly.” “USCIS will always prioritize the safety of the American people.”
Who will be affected by the new measure?
Those with cases pending as of April 27 may face this new scrutiny but USCIS said the delay should be short. H-1B visas do not fall under this because it is for immigrants, while H-1B and other job visas are non-immigrant visas.List of services potentially affected
- Form I-485 (Green Card)
- Form N-400 (Citizenship)
- Form I-751 (Removal of Conditions)
- Family-Based Green Card Sponsorship
- affirmative asylum application
- advanced parole

Riteish Deshmukh reacts to Raja Shivaji’s reaction; It is said that families are bringing children, grandparents to theaters. hindi movie news
actor-director Ritesh Deshmukh has reacted to the positive response received by his directorial Raja Shivaji, which was released in theaters on May 1.Talking about the reception, Riteish said that the film has created an emotional connect among the audience, with families coming together to watch this historical drama. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.“When I see people taking their families, groups, taking their grandparents… there are a lot of people who have never seen the film, they are taking their grandchildren. New parents with one- or two-year-old children feel that the first film of their life should be Raja Shivaji,” he told ANI.He said that the audience is sharing their reactions online after watching the film. “Everyone feels something after going inside. After coming out, they make a video and post it, asking others to watch this film,” he said.
‘Children should look beyond textbooks’
Ritesh said that organic word-of-mouth is the most beneficial phase for any filmmaker.He said, “I think this is the moment when the audience accepts a film. This feeling is very good for the producers because when the audience accepts a film, they themselves start promoting it.”He also stressed the importance of presenting history on the big screen. He said, “We are limited to a few pages of history. When a story is shown on the big screen, children understand that there is more to it than what is in the textbooks. It is important to watch this film to know all this.”
Strong opening at the box office
Raja Shivaji made a strong start at the box office, collecting Rs 23.90 crore in the first two days. According to trade, the film recorded the biggest opening day for a Marathi film, earning Rs 12.40 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 11.50 crore on Saturday. The film has so far earned a total of Rs 52 crore in six days of its release. The Marathi version is leading in performance, while the Hindi version is expected to grow further through word-of-mouth. The historical epic stars Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Bhagyashree and Genelia Deshmukh along with Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi and Amol Gupte in lead roles.
Israeli beauty queen says she met Zohran Mamdani’s wife in a café, Rama Duvaji ‘refused to get engaged’
The beauty queen says that Mamdani’s wife was willing to be photographed in a cafe, but when he found out that she was Israeli, he refused to marry her.
Miss Israel 2025 Melanie Shiraz posted a video of her meeting with Rama Duwaji, wife of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, in a Brooklyn café and alleged that Duwaji refused to negotiate with her on the issue of Palestine. “So, guess who was sitting next to me in a café in New York?” Shiraz, 27, called out the 28-year-old first lady in New York City in an Instagram video. “It’s none other than Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duvaji – the same Rama Duvaji who not long ago posted extremely anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and terrorist sympathies and apologized for it.”Shiraz said that Duwaji was willing to have a photo taken with him as long as he did not know his nationality.“I was disappointed to see the kind of rhetoric she was promoting online, as an Israeli, until I told her this,” Shiraz said. “But I told him that part of my ideology as an Israeli is to have productive dialogue in which one side is not constantly dehumanized.”“But the change in conduct was clear, and even more so was the lack of willingness to engage,” Shiraz wrote on Tuesday. “I turned to real, respectful conversations with openness. That openness was not reciprocated. And, perhaps, that’s the more telling point: how often this disconnect appears, and how normalized it has become.”Rama Duwaji came under criticism due to her social media activities expressing hatred of Israel, although Mamdani defended her and said she was a private person with no prior role in the administration. Rama Duvaji did not issue any statement on the beauty queen’s claim. No conversation is visible between them even in the video.Duvaji apologized last month for social media posts he reportedly made as a teenager, saying he was “truly sorry” for sharing messages containing language that was “so hurtful to others” — without providing additional details. One post asserted that Tel Aviv “should not exist,” while another praised Palestinian terrorist Shadia Abu Ghazaleh – a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a US-designated terrorist organization.Duvaji said last month, “When a tabloid recently published old tweets I wrote as a teenager, I felt deeply embarrassed to be confronted with the language I used that is so hurtful to others; being 15 is no excuse for that.” “I’ve read a lot and seen what others have said in response, and I understand the hurt I’ve caused and I’m truly sorry.”
