Of course. It seems most masters degrees are pay to stay fraud. I work with a large number of h1bs and “students”, and nearly all are currently attending or did attend “remote graduate colleges” while working full time.
Technical ability alone does not qualify one for an H1b visa. You need to be above and beyond what is able to be sourced in America. Specifically, the skills need to be so advanced that you cannot find any American workers to fill the job.
I imagine this test would discredit nearly every H1b software hire.
I find that all “best practices” are a lazy way to avoid justifying a position. Often the advice is almost always incorrect or situational, but the claim maker hasn’t done the work to understand why.
When I was selling hundreds of items per month, I would hold any Spanish name for 48 hours. The majority of Spanish named buyers were committing fraud.
Houses do pay dividends. You have to live somewhere, and you get to live in your house for free (in the analogy where it’s discussed as an investment.)
This is my current life. Testing an idea costs $25M. It’s absurd, and most of my time is spent filling out forms or explaining the basics of the web to idiots.
