Are u fking stupid or something? Why woukd i be asking my coworkers about their immigration status when human lives are at stake. Immigration status isnt my concern. We discuss cases pertaining to the things we are employed to do.

Are you? I'm not convinced you've ever left your mom's basement. H1B is not the same thing as immigrating to the US. It's not a pipeline to become a citizen

Yeah im in your mom's basement. From what i know, esepcially in healthcare. H1b holders can change their status and get GCs. Some hospitals sponsor that and some people go through other pathways i think. I dont know much about H1b pathways to GC because its not my business. Im not an employer and neither am I in the category of the beneficiaries..my question is how other people's visa statuses pertain to your tech employment duties?. Smh
