Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years.

Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

This sucks.

America should welcome greatness. Builders, innovators, and creators should have a fast path to citizenship.

I can’t fathom why we would make life harder for founders starting billion dollar companies that want to anchor themselves in the US.

Excuse me, I think there’s been a mistake, I need to speak with the manager. I was supposed to be part of the in-group the law protects but does not bind, not the out-group it binds but does not protect.

Andrew Ng@AndrewYNg

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.

This might be the worst thing I have read in my life.

I should have gotten citizenship because I am a raging racist like the rest of you is an incredibly painful pitch to sell.

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...

Homeland Security@DHSgov

An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply.

This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.

Insane if true.

So 50% of OpenAI researchers have to leave the US and return to their home countries to apply for a green card?

Don’t drive talent away.

Chubby♨️@kimmonismus

Many of the best researchers at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and other frontier labs are not U.S. citizens. They are in the U.S. on temporary visas while building the very systems Washington increasingly describes as critical to national security.

Forcing them to leave the country to apply for a Green Card adds uncertainty, delays and risk to one of America’s biggest advantages: attracting the world’s best technical talent.

I'm not American, so take this with a grain of salt. But from what I've researched, it makes many things significantly more complicated for OpenAI and Anthropic.

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.

Bruno Faviero@Bfaviero

Attention Is All You Need, one of the most important AI papers ever.... 7/8 authors were foreign nationals on work/student visas from India, UK, Canada, Ukraine.

If we want USA dominance in AI (and tech broadly), we need to attract and retain global ultra-high-skilled talent.

USCIS@USCIS

From now on, an alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card for permanent residency must return to their home country to apply, except in extraordinary circumstances.

This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes.

When aliens apply from their home country, it reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency.

didnt expect my random post to get views - just wanted to say that this affects people who are already *approved* by going through the meritocratic legal process. founders of companies, researchers will have to leave the country for 2 years while waiting for it to be processed. these companies employ tons of americans and will be adversely affected

USCIS@USCIS

Nonimmigrants, like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas, come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose.

Our system is designed for them to leave when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the Green Card process.
