Сообщение #836.
Не зря-же вчера посол приглашал)))
я документ не вчитывал - что-то в правилах кардинально поменялось? или всё как и раньше?
видео - сплошная вода. посидим-поговорим называется. привет Уфа, привет Лас-Вегас…
Олег, если вы его смотрели перед тем как запостить, то могли бы просто написать, что действительно нет радикальных изменений и позже будет подробное видео с “грамотными”, как выразился Михаил, людьми.
Смотрел прямой эфир. Если я сказал-бы, что нет никаких радикальных изменений, то с вероятностью 100% посыпались-бы вопросы: “а докажи, а где узнать точно и т.д” Ну а когда сам посол это говорит, то какие ещё нужны подтверждения?
Я не про видео с Портвовым, а про прямой эфир с послом…
а у же и правила вышли

Подскажите, может как то сказаться на лотерейщиках?
Спасибо.
Потому, что страна рашка-какашка
По той же причине, что раньше все пёрли на юристов…с голоду.
В IT вообще есть больше число специальностей: HR, дизайн, вёрстка, аналитика, менеджеры. Странно всё сводить к программистам.

“Introduced in House (09/14/2017)”
"Latest Action: House - 09/28/2017 Referred to the Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Security. "
“H.R.3775 - Immigration in the National Interest Act of 2017”
“To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a skills-based immigration points system, to focus family-sponsored immigration on spouses and minor children, to eliminate the Diversity Visa Program, to set a limit on the number of refugees admitted annually to the United States, and for other purposes.”
POINT-BASED SYSTEM FOR MERIT-BASED IMMIGRATION: Establish a point-based system for awarding green cards that protects U.S. workers and taxpayers, encourages assimilation, and ensures the financial self-sufficiency of newcomers.
из этого следует что будет создана система скоринга, при которой потенциальный иммигрант должен быть:
- skilled (ограничение по образованию?)
- должен будет доказать свою состоятельность (очевидно показав (или инвестировав) несколько (десятков?) тысяч долларов на счету, что гарантирует что он не станет обузой для налогоплательщиков
- я бы и знание языка добавил ещё.
Как по мне, так это исключительно правильный шаг. Удивительно правда что The “diversity visa” lottery is susceptible to fraud. У нас то все думают что всё по честному
