Comedy on the Startup Visa (very funny)

http://blog.vid...m/startup-visa/

Enjoy…

The cost of doing business in the United States is rising exponentially due to taxes and mounting inflation. American Business are constantly looking to lower overhead and costs. Besides being placed in the express lane for me and my family to get an American Visa, why would I want to start a business there? Aren’t Americans a bunch of has-beens?

Poor Immigrants in the 1900s came to Chicago and met Boss Tweed. Fast Forward Rich Immigrants come to America meet Jeff Pulver and Uncle Sam!

hope it helps to choose best consultant..

Thanks.

There’s plenty of inherent talent in the US already. And those who say there isn’t are politicians and business owners who have something to gain – namely, more lucre for their greedy selves.

THE OVERALL TONE OF THIS ARTICLE IS HIGHLY MISLEADING.

In most cases, H1-B and similar programs are not being used to do innovative, creative new products. In most cases, they are being used to import Cheap Slave Labor so as to replace US citizen workers.

Presenting a talented, attractive, non-threatending poster child for immigration is good propaganda, but it is merely propaganda. How about taking a look at the typical H1-B: He’s Indian, he got his degree at a diploma mill, he “Talks the English very acceptable, you know right”, he workd for Wipro or ADR, and he’s going to be replacing some poor bastard in the accounting department of your local hospital who is going to lose his house after he loses his job.

Most H1-Bs are not Blond Brits from Oxbridge.

@chris banach the E2 was what our lawyers recommended. I would guess that’s because the E1 is for people doing significant trade with the states and as a startup we weren’t trading at all at the time.

> “ten or fifteen still have their hand up”…

The guest worker visa (and student OPT) programs have “RESERVED” millions of high-value jobs for the citizens of foreign countries and these programs, in practice, consistently and routinely DENY, DEPRIVE and EXCLUDE United States Citizens from Equal Employment Opportunity, the law of the land.
The Department of Justice – Office of Special Counsel has received hundreds (perhaps thousands) of complaints about Head Hunters recruiting based on National Origin and Visa Status. The discrimination complaints have been filed by the Programmers Guild and many others. For example,

It is hard though…from 8-12 millions of subscribers each each only 50,000 are elected (randomly, by the computer).

I participated 2 times and a third time I won…I guess I was just lucky…and I’m here since 3 years go.

The winner gets a 10 years greencard as a permanent resident with almost all rights an american citizen has (except voting or be elected for a jury). Of course, you can work for any company you want…even for yours.

After 5 years you are eligible to get the citizenship.

Well, good luck to others who wants to come here…winning the lottery or otherwise.

but it did have a major impact on our company strategy. rather than make the US our main office we’ve had to focus more on Asia and Europe which has turned out well.

for all the communicative joys of technology human contact is still a requirement but restrictions on the movement of labour cause serious inefficiencies in the system.

an injection of common sense is needed i think.

>Having said that, there are plenty, and I mean a good majority, of “American programmers” who tell all kinds of fairy-tales on their resumes, make up skills, experience etc.. You should see the people we have interviewed. Absolute howlers!

This is very true. I have found that there are two groups of developers (local). One group: very intelligent, hardworking and brilliant. The second group: very intelligent, hardworking, brilliant, extremely quick ….in talking. This second group can move a mountain with their mouth. And unfortunately, there is a large gap between the first group and the second group and the first group are very limited in numbers and can be very expensive.

Oh also, when people say there are a lot of local workers that have been sidelined by the H1B workers..please…you must high on something. Please go to every university’s Computer Science and Computer Engineering department and do a head count on how many students they have. And then see if the head count matches the demand for developers for that state. If the supply exceed the demand, then you can continue talking, if not, please STFU. And please make sure you check the grades of those who did not get hired (that is very important)

And for those who claim that companies are laying off developers and hiring H1B developers, there is a reason for that…the laid off developers most likely is from the second group that i talked about earlier. I rather have a productive H1B developer than a local talker.
