I&#x27;m hardly qualified to address the nuances of the immigration system: were it up to me, anyone willing to work and pay taxes would be welcome here (I&#x27;m particularly baffled that the U.S. will further the education and&#x2F;or experience of people, then make it hard for them to stay), so it that sense your proposed visa is still too much paperwork, too many unnecessary rules.<p>That said, it certainly sounds like an improvement over the status quo: slightly better quality of life for the Seattle-like folks, and real options to reduce employers taking advantage of desperate employees.
