Trump administration closes loophole that allowed O-1 visa holders including advanced researchers at OpenAI to remain in the US during green card applications

The new White House policy requiring green card applicants to apply from outside the US is a capricious attack on legal immigration. It will hurt families, leave us with fewer doctors, teachers and scientists, and hurt American competitiveness in AI.

Does this mean AI Researchers, employees, and students will now have to leave the country and wait through a backlog process to continue their work?

Harmful move for tech, business, and America broadly...

So basically all elite founders of multi-billion dollar companies contributing to AI and defense have to stop their work in order to convert to GC?

Make it make sense.

Correct, this is a terrible move.

Every tech executive and startup accelerator manager with access to the President should call him to let him know this immigration policy change is a bad idea, and there needs to be a waiver for skilled AI / advanced tech employees

Guess all those brilliant PhDs will have to go home and contribute to competitive sovereign AGI elsewhere.

This administration entire policy is to torture hard working people who actually contribute to the nation. This will lead to faster decline & push even more skilled immigrants to other nations. A special congrats to tech/biotechMAGA.
