On: U.S. Changes Visa Process for High-Skilled Workers

[jperras]

H-1B visas fall under the doctrine of dual intent, though, so isn't that already the case? Having the H-1B does not preclude someone from seeking out a green card.

Or am I misunderstanding your first statement?

You are. If they are skilled, lawful and desire to become citizens they should be given a green card after 1 year on the spot.
