Ask HN: Chances of immigrating to the US through a multinational company?
I live in France and will be visiting NYC and SF soon. On paper, these cities look like where I would really like to live. The tech scene is very interesting to me especially; I know Paris and don't want to live there long-term.
How are my chances of working for e.g. FAANG in Europe, then getting into the US on an L1 (?) visa, and then getting permanent residency then citizenship? What would the process and timeline look like? If anyone did this, I would be even more interested.
I ask because I read everywhere that the H1B lottery is a complete mess right now, and I don't feel confident taking my chances for 12% per year 3 times, even with a sponsor.
I work in AI (deep learning and related) and have some published co-authored papers, if that matters. I would probably aim for a research engineer or ML engineer position right now.
