Ask HN:Is there a panic button service for immigrants on work visas
With tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, my worst nightmare was to end up getting booted out of the country. This was either through a failure at the H-1B lottery, something doing the rounds again this year. Thankfully I survived.
Booted out of the country could also happen through a job cut which leaves my H-1B visa hanging. Something which I am currently afraid of. Is there a panic button service that matches employees on the cusp of losing their job with a valid work visa against employers looking to hire fast? Is this even a viable idea? Logistically and morally? Hedging against jobs and people is a very weird area to get into. What do you think?
