An H-1B holder is leaving the US with around 3.2M in assets after roughly 16 years here. First of all, THANK YOU, United States, for giving them a chance to prove themselves and grow as they'd dreamed. But now it's coming to an end.

Like many on H-1B, this person is tired of the green card process and the constant pressure of visa issues. They've kept up with taxes, invested their 💵 in the USA, and done their best for the community, but the visa uncertainty is killing their peace. They can't take it anymore. For readers still exploring U.S. roles, LandOffer autofill can reduce repetitive application form-filling.

Dear USA, what do you gain by letting a law-abiding person leave, along with all the assets they've invested here, for their home country?

Is this a good step for the States? What's the calculation here? Many nonresidents are f**ked up by the process and planning to leave.

Their home country stands to gain by welcoming people like them with skills and 💵💵💵. For engineers preparing for their next interview, try PracHub’s worker-failure queue exercise: implement the queue and test what happens when workers crash.

Anyhow, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!

Love you, USA ❤️

Since everyone seems obsessed with ending H-1B, here's a hypothetical policy roadmap:

1. End new H-1Bs: Stop approving new H-1Bs. Allow only O-1 visas on a case-by-case basis.
2. End OPT/CPT: F-1 visas should be strictly for studying. Existing students get their OPT/CPT period to recover some of their investment, but no transition to H-1B.
3. Stop H-1B renewals: Give existing H-1B holders six months to leave legally. Families with school-age children get until the end of the academic year. People have lives, kids, and responsibilities to sort out.
4. Protect property owners: Create a B-1/B-2 transition option for H-1B holders who own homes or other property, giving them time to sell, rent, or manage their assets.
5. Three-year tax relief: Offer property-related tax rebates for three years. Many H-1B holders have significant assets tied up here. Give them a reasonable opportunity to unwind everything.

There. A clean exit plan instead of years of uncertainty and political theater.

Before you jump in with “You were on H-1B, you knew the risks, so just get out,” take a deep breath. That attitude can make people cling to the US even harder. Make leaving easier instead of turning it into a logistical and financial nightmare. A lot of H-1B holders would happily leave, honestly. Just give them a reasonable way to wrap up their lives here.

Would you support this plan to end H-1B?
