The tone deafness of the tech community is so unbearable. Either too on the spectrum, too ambitious (the world is fine cause I’m getting mine), or too isolated from non-tech people, to realise most people despise what they’re creating.

There’s also a lack of willingness to ‘bring along’ the public. It’s just “make the god thing; ask for permission later”.

Hi Peter. Thanks again for doing this. Life saver.

I am an Australian citizen looking to do my Masters in Computer Science in the US, and live there afterwards. I particularly want my green card so I can work at SpaceX / Starlink / other companies that require it.

Would the path be:

F-1 during masters, get a job offer in the US, E-3 sponsored by said job, GC?

Also, what is the rough time frame from E-3 being granted to GC being granted?

Cheers!

Hi Peter,

I am in a similar position, however am looking to do my masters in the US first.

Would the path be: F-1 during masters, get a job offer, apply for E-3, then apply for GC?

Also, roughly how long after being granted E-3 would it take to get the GC?

Cheers!
