That is a self-evident and profoundly apparent point, however the end product frequently goes unrecognized: a large number of the world's ideal and most brilliant essentially aren't willing to enter the United States under those circumstances, liking rather to hang tight and work for the pride that accompanies legitimate status.
Two seldom utilized roads to a green card are accessible for these more cerebral candidates for US citizenship. The people who depend on their scholarly capacities for their pay and prosperity might satisfy the prerequisites for business based inclination under "Uncommon Ability" or "Public Interest Waiver" status.
Of the two, "Exceptional Ability" is loftier (if more unclear) in its arrangement of capabilities, requiring the candidate to be more...well...extraordinary. By and large, these candidates are expected to be victors of broadly or globally perceived prizes; researchers regularly distributing in significant scholar or logical diaries; analysts and researchers whose work is of clear worth, being refered to by others in significant intellectual or logical diaries; or craftsmans and makers working at the most elevated levels of culture.
Albeit "National interest waiver" are less overwhelming in their measures, they have a significantly more rigorously noticed set of capabilities. Outsiders applying for this status should be occupied with work of "significant characteristic legitimacy," which benefits US residents on a public scale, rather than just being locally advantageous. Further, this work should affect public interests more prominent than a similar work would have whenever performed by an accessible American laborer.
