As explained almost everywhere, losing your job under an H1B visa is a huge pain.
The brightest student in my class is working for Microsoft on an H1B. He's relatively happy and he's managed to "switch jobs" within Microsoft, but he's unable to leave.
That's not a great way to encourage the best and brightest. I know this guy would be awesome for several Silicon Valley startups for example, but he literally has to stay in Microsoft or another high-stability company.
No idea if he would get a Green Card as a person of extraordinary ability, I believe him to be, but don't know the requisites.
My country has FAR less stringent requirements (yet we're not really a talent destination :) ).
