Personally, I've seen advanced discussion on US visas on here before, and I would assume that this would be of interest to many in this community.
- lordbusiness 12y agoThank you for the welcome. :-) It's not really an advanced discussion or even jumping off point. It's just one person saying they don't live in the US anymore. And yah, I don't have enough karma. Though it appears I lost a point for positing my original comment. :-) C'est la vie.
- sounds 12y agoBecause HN has a built-in balance of "more upvotes than downvotes," it shouldn't be difficult to get upvotes.
- artmageddon 12y agoIt's not an 'advanced discussion' in terms of technology but we have to face the fact that there are many people who work here in the States and want to work in the states that get hampered by immigration rules. My girlfriend is working on her PhD in CS and has faced huge uphill battles to get into for internships simply because of where she's from. She just wants to work on tech, but the hurdles she has to go through are ridiculous compared to what citizens or even immigrants from other countries have to face.
