what bugs me the most on my h1b visa is that the time youre in the country you cant build a life for yourself. first its 3 years, than you can extend another three years but after those six years they kick you out. of course after five years you can apply for a green card but that takes two years. not to speak of the cut down on time when you switch jobs. i recently changed my employer after two years. now my last year of the first part of the visa got cut out and directly extended. giving me together five years in the country.
now what do i do in three years?
in sept 2013 my visa ends. no extension.
how can you live like that? knowing you leave your life, friends, everything behind in three years.
and the whole new investor start up blah visa is a punch in my face. when you generate a milliondollar revenue or find an investor that invests a million or more you get citizenship.
come again? citizenship? i lead start ups for my last employer which gave me an astronomical salary around 300-600k a year and the start ups generated under the companies umbrella way more than 20m this year.
where the FUCK is my citizenship?
