> shitty countries This is the kind of name-calling that the site guidelines ask you not to do ( https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html ). It's particularly shameful that you put down a specific country as "shitty". We don't need that on HN. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12367643 and marked it off-topic.

Oh, fucking come on. Somalia is shitty. I don't think that's controversial. Everyone knows Somalia is shitty, including Somalis, which is why they're so keen to get out.

You can't comment like this here. If you do it again, we will ban you again.

It will be interesting to see what happens to these people if Trump were to get elected, given his promise to investigate H1 visas. Will he ask whistleblowers to step forward? Perhaps deport these "extraordinary individuals" and hand over their green cards to the actually deserving ones in the queue? Or is the number of affected people too small to matter? Many people on message boards rarely seem to appreciate the a…

> why does getting a degree in the US give any more credibility? It does not! And probably never will. A lot of people who I know went on to get a phd because of lack of options or because of frustration and failure in corporate life. The latter is statistically a sizeable number; consider unless the kid in your class went off immediately after school. Whereas a multinational manager is usually directly contributing…

Not sure if your comment was just sarcasm.

With all due respect to the multinational manager who may be extremely good at what they do, everyone knows that there is still some pretty drastic exploitation of the process going on if they are actually coming in under the EB1 category. Here is an easy test: these individuals will very rarely openly discuss exactly why they qualified for an EB1 (if they even willingly talk about it) - and I am fairly certain the deserving ones in the category will feel no such compunctions. Here is another - you can usually find scores of people with exactly the same qualifications as these multinational managers if you actually bother to probe further.

Having said that, I do think the system is too far beyond reform at this point, and people would be much better off trying other countries to showcase their talents, including their own.

Unfortunately wealthy foreigners are just going to abuse the hell out of this to drive up real estate prices.

You're exactly right. American citizens should never have to compete with foreign nationals for anything.

I am inviting foreign nationals in a nonimmigrant F-1 Post Completion OPT (EAD) status to meet in San Francisco and discuss their thoughts about the proposed rule.

I am drafting a response from a nonprofit research organization and H-1B cap-exempt employer perspective:

or SMS text WHOMENTORSDOTCOM to 50500 to obtain my contact information.

This year, my organization endeavors to maintain a relationship with startup founders of a startup that would not otherwise be a qualifying institution to work part-time on-site at the non-profit research organization anywhere in the USA.
