Thank you! Yes, it worked well for me, but I can't help but think the real intention of the visas is just to bring "extraordinary people" to the US. Saying that

Thank you! Yes, it worked well for me, but I can't help but think the real intention of the visas is just to bring "extraordinary people" to the US. Saying that, I have no idea how to devise a fairer criteria to judge that (because I'm not that extraordinary, obviously). In my mind, I'm thinking of some people I know who are definitely a lot smarter than me but just don't have a PhD and publications. Some of the best people I know don't even have degrees. How can an immigration official with little knowledge of the area of expertise differentiate those people and bring them here?
