    I feel like a lot of US citizens don’t quite get how hard it is to get an immigrant visa even if you are super qualified—many friends/family have struggled w the H1-B lottery or spent months applying for an O1 or got denied entry even though they have MIT degrees/great jobs/etc

        This applies even to immigrants from countries like Canada/Australia that have great relationships with the US. Plus if you’re trying to start a company it’s even harder because most visas are employment-based and there are literally ~2 options for founders

        have seen people do crazy risky things like call in sick to their H1B job for half a year while trying to get on a visa that would let them start a company bc there was no other way. You can be a Cambridge grad trying to start a biotech company and be totally helpless

        Canadian here, lost H1B lottery 4 times running. TNs are great until you think resident thoughts.

        It took me 3 years, attorneys, thousands of dollars, and moving to 2 countries while waiting to green card - and I had a unique job, an offer, and UK citizenship. It is SO hard for others. Comparably it took my wife ~2 weeks to get the equivalent for the UK.

        I‘m even scared to write something about it. Since the agency might check twitter and use that against your status...

        As someone who has had a CBP officer turn a monitor around and ask "are these your tweets".... at least they don't do it every time?

        Consider moving to Melbourne Australia and bring them VC’s with you ! Melbourne Australia is a top 3 city to live (#1 for 2 years). Also single payer healthcare... FYI

        Not gonna happen until the Australian government stops requiring software companies to build them backdoors in everything. Australia is radioactive right now.
