> The US system is actually much more liberal than the EU
How so? Here are the options to immigrate to the US for an IT professional:
- be hired by some rich company, try H1B, most likely fail in the lottery and wait for another year;
- be hired by some rich megacorp with presence in multiple countries, move to one of the countries, wait for a year, get L1 and move to the US. Too bad if you have a partner, he/she won't be able to work for a few years
In both cases your position is really precarious until you get your green card, so oftentimes you can't really afford to change employers. How on Earth is it "liberal"?
