There is a visa for top of field immigration, the O-1.<p>But even that visa is being gamed, see the Peter Roberts AMA here from a few weeks ago.<p>But the fact of the matter is a majority of H-1B visas go to positions that are bottom of the totem pole, back office development and IT. I mean 80% of them pay on the lower tiers of the pay scales. Seems an awful waste of talent and an overall raw deal for the worlds best and brightest.
