For all 'skilled' immigrants, but /particularly/ the high end, you should encourage the following.
* The immigrant must be employed with no gap exceeding 1 year, but they are free to seek out work with another company at at least the median (50th percentile) market rate of compensation for a job.
* Their sponsor employer must pay them at least the 75th percentile market rate of compensation for that type of job.
* STRONG worker protections for all workers, even salaried, about working longer than 8 hours in a day and more than 35 in a week.
* The sponsor pays the bill for vetting/background checking an immigrant on such a fast path.
* The immigrant is also on a fast track for actual citizenship, maybe 5 years?
* Also strong assurances that they //will// see citizenship at the end of that, barring any active failure on their part (mostly major crimes).
