Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember many years ago, hearing some persons, I forget who that was, talking about the system of U.S. visas for highly educated persons seeking to immigrate to the United States. The way I remember hearing about that, it was not enough for them to be highly educated, because the U.S. had quotas, and your skills had to fall within certain categories, and if the limit had been exceeded at the time you were just out of luck and had to wait for something to open up. And then if you get one of those visas, it is only a visa, not a U.S. citizenship, and you have to spend years of uncertainty and will have to go through various steps to gain citizenship, although if you marry a U.S. citizen that would speed things up considerably. But it is not my place to dictate solutions to those denizens of a micro-subculture of which I do not know very much.
