Definitely relevant for any non-US citizens reading HN.
- lordbusiness 12y agoWhy? There is no immigration policy discussion, nor notable deviation from immigration status quo for the past decade at least.
- adventured 12y agoThe why is: if it's within a general relevancy, and is upvoted enough, then it's relevant to Hacker News. That's vague, but it's not far off base. A lot of the value created in that scenario, is in the discussion that typically occurs here, where people are able to share their knowledge and experiences related to the initial link that acts as a spark. For example, in this thread, SeoxyS discusses the O-1 visa, which is a situation timtamboy63 is going through at the moment. That kind of connection and knowledge sharing can be very valuable. Don't make the mistake of thinking most of the value comes from the linked story. Most of the value here is generated by the community itself.
