The US admits about 200,000 international students from India every year. 4 years later, they graduate into a free-for-all fight for green cards. Fewer than 3% will stay long term. The student visa-to-green-card pipeline is broken, and it hurts everyone. Quick math:

People on H-1B visas getting laid off have 60 days to leave the US. Many have begun an 11 year long green card process but are 5, 10 years away from getting it. Employer lays them off, and it’s all gone. 🙅🏼 Pack your bags. There’s a solution nobody is talking about:

A Master's/ PhD does improve odds in the H-1B lottery, but even IF an Indian student goes through undergrad, and/or Master's and/or PhD here, there's no endgame. The current wait for an EB-2 visa, the green card for highly skilled/ advanced degree holders, is about 100 years.

About HALF of graduating Master's and PhD students are international students, (compared to ~5% of undergrad students.) One could argue the immigration system is so bad it forces 10x as many international students into academia. More schooling only delays the problem...

Those students will graduate in 4 years, and most will enter the job market in the US. They have 1-3 years to get a work visa to be able to stay longer. The H-1B visa is the most common option. In the last lottery (yes, its dumb 🙄) only ~13% of applicants were accepted.

As it stands, the majority of international students won't be able to work in the US beyond three years of graduating. Many will return home, while many will opt to go back to school, so they don't need to give up their friends, professional network, personal relationships, etc.

The new H-1B rules will make it harder (not easier) for startup founders to work under H-1Bs: H-1B holders can now (explicitly) own a majority of the company. That’s great, but… Tightening restrictions on job duties and specialty occupations will make it harder for founders

There’s already a “smartest visa” program that has no quotas/caps — the O-1 visa program. The great lie here by Silicon Valley types like @garrytan is to deceptively claim that H-1B visa is about “high-skilled” immigration. It’s really about cheap labor.

If you're a founder/exec/manager with Indian employees on visas, chat with them about their long term plans and "EB-1". With recent immigration changes, helping them get some professional recognition or press can be relatively trivial for you, but 100% life-changing for them.

The H-1B lottery results just came out yesterday. The US laws today think the best way to decide which high skilled talent they want to keep in the country is luck. If you didn't get picked in the H-1B lottery, please look up "Day 1 CPT" or explore an O-1! May luck be with you.

@itskaranj @kylegawley Take a look at what YC* companies are raising (and their valuations) right now. Nothing wrong with it, but big money is coming in at idea stage. “Conservative” isn’t really a term I would use to describe 😃 * not just YC co’s obviously

🔑The key: Get familiar with "permissible activities." You might be surprised what you're allowed to do on a visa. (That includes student visas and visitor visas 👀) You can: ✅Register a company ✅Research your market ✅Pitch VCs ✅Get investments Setting up a new biz:

A cool thing happens when I tweet about immigration: For helping immigrants, I’m labeled pro-slavery, exploitative, and a Nazi (?) For helping employers: I’m racist, Anti-American, destroying US jobs Can’t wait for the next election cycle to really hype up the brain damage 🤗

High Salary Show you’ve been paid, in the top 10% of professionals in your position, in your region, at some point in time. Making $100k as a SWE in SF? Probably not gonna work. Head somewhere with a lower cost of living for a month or two. Get a job offer to prove it. Or…

Use a future job offer to hit criteria. You can use annual salary, hourly rate, or total comp/ equity. A high-paying hourly contract is ideal. Or visit your parents in Poland or Pune for a couple months. Keep your current salary and you should hit. Next - Critical Role 🤴

Not gonna name names, but there are *enough* law firms charging people $500-$2500 for "boot camps" and "prep courses" to prepare for an O-1 visa application. 🙄 I'll buy you a year of Ocho if you can find a visa course with more detail than this.

@zachweinberg Some thoughts on the comment section: - there’s always some people suggesting you study up on the topic but offering no suggestions or critique - DEI could be renamed “race-based acceptance” and people would lose it - there are no threads the OF girls won’t touch

Oh, and super important: you can use anything you’ve done in your industry, at any point in time, anywhere in the world, to hit the criteria. In Bangladesh 4 years ago? Great. With a different company? Perfect. Okay, let’s see how you can meet the criteria:

Applying for the O-1, same as H-1B: 👫Need an employee-employer relationship, so cofounders or a board. 💸Need to show ability to get paid by co. 📅Should post-date your start for clean transition/ no burnt bridges. Hope this helps. As always, DM me with Q's or for a review.

If you run through that list and you hit 3 ✅✅✅ Apply for the visa. If you don’t, your next three months are a sprint to get a membership, judge an event, get some press, and have a high-paying hourly contract from a potential client ready to go. That’s 4. The application:

@BrettFromDJ You’re going to have all these 1:1 conversations but repeat a lot of stuff. Would you consider doing webinars with cohorts of 10 people? Say, 1 hr overview of business, 2 hrs AMA? $500 x 10 = $5000 for three hours. You get 3.3x more per hour, customers get 3x more info.

I’ve known Joseph for ~5 years, seen his capabilities. But, watching him build Supademo while we worked on his visa was incredible - the pace of iteration and customer growth has been insane. Remarkable founder, but an even better dude. In NYC? Go meet him. I’ll buy the coffee.
