My now wife went through so much trouble with her H1-B, even though she graduated with a Master's from a United States university and was working in the United States. Yet she got stuck in the lottery system. Don't we want high skilled workers contributing to the economy? Even when we got married, we had to wait over a year for her green card for her and went through an interview. The immigration system is tough and cumbersome.
- BeetleB 8y agoWith the new system, she will have a better chance at getting the visa. Why the concern? Edit: I'm being down voted, but I don't understand. The change actually prioritizes MS students.
- skybrian 8y agoWhy should anyone be happy when there's a chance they won't be allowed to work? Even if the chance is lower, it's still something to be concerned about. (Edited)
- BeetleB 8y agoNote that I never suggested one should be happy. And I'm not sure what you're proposing. Let anyone who is in the US be allowed to work and just give them an automatic H-1 visa? Or do that for people who have an MS degree or higher? If the latter, realize you are providing a criterion - one which someone with just a high school degree can say the same as you said: >Even if the chance is lower, it's still not right. If you accept that there needs to be some criterion, then it's simply a matter of where the line is drawn - and most people draw the line that conveniently works for them. For the person who posted this, the change in rules improves the chances of someone in the situation his wife was in.
