Kaidi Wu, Ph.D.@kaidi_wuAmericans have no idea how difficult legal immigration is for "high-skilled immigrants". I have 4 degrees incl a PhD. Einstein visa. 250K salary at FAANG. Lived in this country since I was a teenager...
SummaryA highly educated immigrant with a PhD and six-figure FAANG salary describes the Byzantine process of legal immigration to the US, including H1B visa lotteries with <20% acceptance rates, the O-1 extraordinary ability visa, and green card backlogs that can take decades for citizens of certain countries. The thread outlines alternatives like academic positions, self-sponsored green cards (EB1A/NIW), and warns that 2025 will bring even tighter restrictions on legal immigration despite the country's need for skilled workers.Nov 19, 202421 tweets♥ 48.5K
