I was talking to my colleague, who is a double degreed masters EE/CS on H1-B, really smart guy and has a lot of great ideas that we would like to do on his own… He’s still waiting for his greencard (been about 3-4 years)…Unfortunately, the company he’s working for is not doing so well, and if he get’s laidoff, it really messes up his visa status.. (at least he doesn’t have to start over, like it use to be)…
I asked him what we was going to do if he gets laidoff… Jokingly he said…”Well, maybe I can leave the country, and come back through the south border as a refugee. Afterall, I might be able to get my greencard faster going that route than this route as a priority 2 H1-B high skill tech worker…”.. Yes, it was tongue and cheek. But it was kinda funny…Sad…but funny….
