I mean, sure, ya, there is value. Unfortunately it's not really the kind of value that USCIS cares about when it comes to work authorization.
> There are full remote companies like GitLab
Gitlab is not a US-based company anyways, and does not do any US visa sponsorship. Also, claiming that their work isn't innovative and is therefore getting off-shored kind of discounts the work of everyone working there.
- reader_mode 6y agoGitLab is just the first example that came to mind when thinking of a company that's loud about it's "remote first" approach. There's nothing revolutionary done at GitLab that could leak to competitors, maybe you could compromise their infrastructure to cause damage, but at the end of the day it's yet another app doing a thing that's already been done with the tech everyone already has using methods everyone understands. Compare that to self driving, robotics, biotech, weapons, etc. - governments and large corporations are hiring spies to steal this stuff - I doubt you get to work on cutting edge R&D related stuff as a remote worker from a different country.
