It’s not bad to be wrong. It’s bad to not know when to stop.

See the sibling comment for your answer.

P.S. I find it depressing that people like yourself who successfully got through this immigration madness keep their boots on the necks of the unlucky ones. You were not special, you were lucky.

That’s all from me.

You ended up admitting i was right - nobody ends up on H1-B for 15 years (unless as you pointed out, they choose to be).

And “boots on necks”? I think you have a persecution complex going on.

I encourage you to engage people on HN on a more positive note. Don't take out your frustrations on others.

Nobody is choosing to stay on H1B for years at end. What a ridiculous proposition. What would be the point of that ? The people who are on H1B status after a number of years are the ones who are stuck in various stages of the green card process (i140, i485, etc.) because of backlogs. There are many rules that govern the finer points of these issues, and going into them over here is futile. It is not clear what you are trying to argue. If you wish to state that people on temp visas signed up knowing about the uncertainty, that is a common enough opinion, and you can state that and that would be the end of it. Why are you picking technical points to argue where you don't possess the expertise ?
