Re: Ask HN: Ways from the EU to the USA
#12Without going into whether it's a good idea, or how the current administration and climate might affect things, these are some common options I have personally heard of: - L1 visa: Get an internal transfer from a company that has offices both in the EU and the US - H1B visa: Get hired by a US company and enter into a queue/lottery type of thing - Green card lottery: Enter the annual lottery to get a Green Card to ent…
Just to be more realistic
H1-B without a degree and 19 y.o.? Not gonna happen
I'd believe the same for O-1 (and very few 19 y.o. have "extraordinary ability" without a degree. Very, very few.)
Easiest way would be to go get a degree in the US (of course, you need $ for this)

#13As things stand now, I wouldn't feel safe even briefly visiting the States.
Then don't go to the United States. Europan immigrants to America faced much worse risks.

As long as OP is not an MS-13 gang member he will be fine.

#15> I love how free the United States is. they know the value of justice Definitely get out from behind your computer and read the news.
I get it. I can’t see many details from here. I’m watching the news, but tech comes from the US. It’s hard for me to sleep when new stuff launches there in the meantime. Everything is delayed for me, and I'm struggling to move forward. I need to improve myself, and here I have to work on a full-time job, +4 different side projects that are none of mine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Everything seems good from X(Twitter), but not as much…
The fearmongering is outrageous. Life goes on in the US and not much has changed. Unless you are joining terrorist gangs or openly supporting known terrorists organizations you will be fine, just like all my German, French, Spanish, Indian, Mexican, Iranian and whatever else neighbors I have are.

"tech comes from the US"... today perhaps, but there are many opportunities to build a more equal and socially just tech from Europe
A lot of tech comes from US / China, but it's also a tech based on control and enslavement...

#17You say you're 19. I take it you don't watch the news or at least not the U.S. news (which is understandable)? I have some bad news for you my aspirational friend. Things are changing very fast. It seems as if we're quickly losing the freedom to have the wrong ideas. This was certainly a thing when Dems were in office, but now it has been amplified into an Orwellian form. And as far as immigration goes, if you don't…
Go to Europe and say/tweet mean things about specific groups and you will be locked away. Go to the US and support MS-13 and terrorist organizations and you will be locked away. These are not the same level of Orwellian.

...and has never, once, even suggested that Trump might not be the ultimate genius he pretends to be...
even slightly criticizing their president is enough for them to feel triggered like little snowflakes

Life goes on in the US but innocent people were detained and deported without a due process, let alone a reason to be.
And the people behind it would like to make it even worse
