#43Is it safe? Do you store the data?
I would like a follow up on this as there is no privacy statement on your site.
This might be relevant if people were asked to oAuth approve something to get there report - but they only asked for my LinkedIn profile which means anything they got from there is public info already.
Bit suprised by that to be honest.. if this goes viral they just lost the opportunity to get a ton of oAuth Authorizations to LinkedIn which could have been v useful to them down the line for further data scraping (I would imagine).
The fact that they didn't suggests that they have their heads on the right side of your privacy concerns.

#44Or, in other words, how much will you deprive your own society of and contribute to American society, assuring our domination and your society's dependence and subjugation.
Frankly I'm only thinking about moving to the US because my girlfriend is American. She has a lot of debt from her studies and she works in education, and education pays a lot mainly in the US. Basically she needs to rip some other students off to pay her debt, it's a pyramid (I hope she doesn't red this).
But I'm not attached to my country, the country I was born in is an accident, they are conservative and short sighted, I don't care leaving (albeit, I don't think the US is really the best place to live).

That's somewhat correct, although we have a bunch of stuff on the back-end that we're not quite ready to talk about yet :) Not a pivot, just an experiment to see how people respond. Give it a whirl and let us/me know!
More than happy to give it a whirl. Can you elaborate on what you do with the data that's given? Do you store it permanently, how long do you keep it, who else gets to have it?
They use it to generate leads for products, store it indefinitely, and will ask permission before sharing it.

True, but keep in mind TN Visas are designed for temporary work. They need to be renewed every 3 years, even for the same employer, and offer no path towards permanent residence. So, they can be used for people doing a work exchange for a company that has branches in Canada/Mexico and the U.S., or as a bridge when the H1-B cap has been hit for the current/next year. They don't really substitute an H1-B in the mid/lon…
"temporary work. They need to be renewed every 3 years, even for the same employer, and offer no path towards permanent residence." But TNs are renewable infinitely. You did need to call yourself a systems analyst. Systems analyst was on the list of approved TN jobs but computer programmer was excluded, even though they're the same thing. I believe software engineer was recently added even though that is also the exa…
Or you can switch to an H1-B and apply for a Green Card immediately after getting it if you feel like becoming a permanent resident.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and guess it's an MVP where they manually assess your skills. Also, this is a YC company and it looks like this is a pivot or alternatively they're trying to find more candidates for clients, who then pay them a fee to sort out the visa?

How are you dealing with the fact that even with a sponsor, there's only a 1 in 2-3 (unknown) chance that someone will actually get through the H1-B lottery this year?

#49I have a PhD in philosophy (with a dissertation on symbolic logic). When I was interviewing in the US, I was told repeatedly that it would impossible for me to get an H1B visa for an IT job because my degree is not in science or engineering. BorderScore doesn't seem to take this sort of thing into account, unless I'm missing something.
I got the following assessment:
The short version is that you can start working in the U.S. within 6 weeks, and stay for at least 2 years with:
- a 82% chance of success
- $2,183.13/year cost to sponsor you
Previously I was also told that the waiting period could easily be up to 9 months.

I'm not planning on going to America because a) I'm more interested in seeing other places (sorry) and b) It's impossible anyway. But let me tell you something: When I leave, I won't be depriving "my own society" (whatever that means) of anything, because that's how much value I can produce here, with all the corruption and bureaucratic obstacles.
And it will remain so because all those who could possibly affect change are taking the easy road to America and compounding our returns and advantages.
How easily we tell other people to martyr themselves for our ideals.
