Roman Lee in SF is quite brilliant. He's helped me, my cousin, and my brother with all our immigration questions and decisions.

Thanks, I will contact him and see if I can set up a consultation call.

Haha. Agree totally! Makes it feel too radio-y due to that.

Yeah, I really couldn't make out if it the comment was in all seriousness or some lame attempt at sarcasm / wit.

I'm with you on that. The whole tipping business is out of control in the US! I only tip outside the US if I feel like incredible service has been provided, else expect my fees to cover the cost of the service.

We LOVE REDASH at our company. Lack of adequate developers (the neverending startup saga) meant not everyone got what they wanted, fast enough. Redash has changed that for us. We use it extensively across all our teams (operations, sales, marketing etc). Thanks!

Hmm. From my understanding, a person's chances of getting an H1-B are substantially higher from a large corporation as opposed to a 5 people startup because the large corporations' lawyers submit multiple applications per person (through the subsidiaries)

My brother has to leave his job this month and move back home, after 4 years at UIUC and 3 years in the Bay Area because he chose to work at startups (instead of the large tech companies) and both years the lottery system failed him.

What you say is true only for the outsourcing companies that are in fact gaming (abusing) the H-1 system.

Google and your startup both put in a single application per person for an H-1, and at the end of the day spend more for the H-1 candidate than they would for a local hire (citizen/green card), which is how the system should work.

Awesome! Thank soo much :)

You probably won't respond, but the other 99% non-tech world will :)

Amazing! We're building a Kayak for Healthcare Services btw. Launching next week :)

Love your product.

This is relevant to my interests. Where can I learn more?

Hi mansigandhi, good luck with your launch next week :)

Thanks sathley -- we should connect. My startup, Shoutt, also also in the Q&A space! Edit: appyoda is, not appacitive. So not the same space.

appyoda looks great btw. And so does appacitive. (sort of like Parse?) Though, I'm looking for something more HN like, built for longer discussions.
