Those days are long gone. Now, anyone can come to US. Some states in India (Telangana) give you money to study abroad, knowing fully well that those kids emigrate.

I interviewed with Amazon last August. They have a cool of period of one year before next interview. However, their recruiters keep sending spam asking if I am interested in position XYZ. When I say yes, they go and check their database and then send me a "not eligible yet" mail.

I emailed Amazon CEO Andy Jesse about this nuisance. He didn't do anything about this. I still get their recruiter spam.
