How do they not have email when it's required to sign up for various sites, plus having android phones requires gmail, plus official documents, bank accounts, job applications etc. tend to ask for email; email is used for work as well...?

They have had good public education for the past decade or two and rank high in international student rankings. So, I would bet that high 'human capital' would be the cause here.

If someone is from one of 75 countries with ban on immigration but also has dual citizenship from a country that is not banned, do they need to go to that second country's US embassy when applying for an immigration visa?

Can you have just one US client like a marketplace or network that gives you monthly payouts totalling $150k a year? The client is a famous US based company.

How easily can one get E1 treaty trader visa and what volume and quantity of trade are recommended? If I have a company registered in my home country (eligible country) and have payouts from a US provider like an advertising network, affiliate provider or some marketplace etc. and my clients are all US companies, can I apply for that visa? Would a low six figure yearly revenue with monthly payout be sufficient for that?

Why would public ownership deliver those benefits? Walmart is delivering cheap, quality and reliable service in retail. Soviet stores we not better than American ones.

If you want to get a visitor visa to attend an incubator like YC, is it better to:

1) wait to be admitted into YC and get B1 visa for 3 months. Do you get some kind of invitation letter from YC that increases your chances of approval?

2) get a normal tourist visa now and specify you will go to the US for a week or two like a normal tourist and later use that to go to incubator training.

  "Today, though, a young man working at a Walmart or a gas station will struggle to attract a stable partner or the respect of the world around him."
True if they are not good looking. If a guy is really handsome, he could attract a partner easily and people will like him due to halo effect.

I have a company in my home country with revenues of $200k/year with 12 transactions per year from US clients. Can I apply for an E1 treaty trader visa and what are my chances of success?
