It's not that simple. You need to have been a manager outside of the US for 1 year, apply and get approved for L1C visa, enter the country on that and then once in the US apply under EB1C. All the time maintaining legal status.

I'm more surprised that they are making 3 billion in profits from the printer business! I'd be even more surprised if non-corporate customers were a big chunk of that. Anecdotal, but no one I know wants to buy a HP printer due to

Isn't this a brute force way to fight inflation? I certainly don't believe that inflation is around 3%. My feel for it is around 9-10%. I assume the Fed is also aware of it and hence they are trying to reduce supply of money to cu
