Allow Lawful Aliens with H1Bs to have an easier transition to a Green Card. Not just STEM degrees.

Created by G.P. on November 20, 2014

There has been much emphasis on STEM degrees, but the reality is that the US also needs other types of highly skilled workers with advanced degrees. After completing a master's, and working in the US for 6 years, us H1B workers, have to go back to our countries for a year before we can apply again for a visa if our employer does not sponsor us for it. Why is this like that? Why go back for a year when we can continue to work and contribute to the economy? Why not make the transition automatic so we can buy a home and invest our money here. Why send our children who were born here away, interrupting their education... This is total non-sense.
It seems to me that if we would have come illegally we would have better chances of staying than doing everything lawfully.
