H-1B visas are temporary. They are work visas that can be extended up to 6 years. What don't you understand? After their contract is over, they go back to their country. Why can you not understand such a simple scenario? If later, they want to apply for green cards, they do that form the embassy or consulate in their country.
If one is awarded a H-1B visa, that person has to disclose wether they intend to stay or not. If you lie and they find out you lie, there might be a problem.
It seems like you've never travelled to a place where you need a visa, or worked anywhere else in the world.
Or, you are just a dummy.

The three main conditions for ending the U.S. Cuban embargo, as outlined in the Helms-Burton Act
These steps would allow a transition government to form, enabling the president (with congressional involvement) to lift the embargo.
They aim to ensure a democratic shift in Cuba before normalizing full economic relations. Actual implementation involves additional legal requirements under U.S. law for a democratically elected government.
1. The release of all political prisoners.
2. The legalization of all political parties, independent labor unions, and a free press.
3. The scheduling of free and fair, internationally supervised multiparty elections.
Also, the embargo doesn't include medicine or humanitarian aid. Like in a hurricane, for example.
Cuban Americans send an estimated $2–3.7 billion yearly in remittances to Cuba, with the majority originating from the U.S. diaspora.
According to recent data from sources like the Observatory of Economic Complexity , Cuba's top trading partners include Spain, China, the United States (mainly food exports to Cuba), Brazil, Italy, Venezuela, Canada, Mexico, and several European and Asian nations.
In 2024, its largest export destinations were China, Spain, Germany, and others, while imports came heavily from Spain, China, the U.S., and Brazil.
Cuba conducts trade (imports and/or exports) with over 100 countries.
So Cuba is messed up because of Communism and the worst type of corruption.

I had almost 300 responses to my Cuba post.
The most common reply was: "Because communism."
Okay. Let's accept that as true. Communism is a failed economic system. Cuba's government is repressive. Castro was a dictator.
Now answer the question: Why does punishing ordinary Cubans with a 67-year embargo serve American interests?
If the goal is freedom for the Cuban people, starvation is a strange way to free them.
If the goal is regime change, it hasn't worked in 67 years.
If the goal is to help Cubans, lifting the embargo costs us nothing and gives them everything.
The communism answer explains why we don't like Cuba. It doesn't explain the embargo.
Try again.

What part of "TEMPORARILY" don't you understand, stupid? If you are here on a student visa, after you're done with your studies, you have to go back. If you get hired by a company here, they must sponsor you and get you a work visa. That visa can be up to 6 years. If you marry a non-citizen, you must petition your spouse. Depending on the case, he/she can wait here or in their country of origin. If you commit marriage fraud, that is illegal and you can go to jail. (that is to get married for "papers") So what is it that you don't understand? What's vile about it? Why is it stupid? The US issues 1 million green cards per year. One must qualify for them. You have to prove a lot of things, like income, or a sponsor. That is so people don't come here and take away from programs that are meant for the American needy . So, again, what is it that you don't understand?
English
What is it that you don't understand? If you are here on a temporary visa, you have to go back to your country before it expires. That's the same in any country. If you marry a non-citizen, you must petition her. Depending on the case, sometimes, they can wait for their papers here, and sometimes they have to wait in their country. It's been like that for years. My sister in law had to wait in her country of origin and that was over 12 years ago. It's not new. If you are here on a student visa, you have to go back. If you get a job here after studying here, your company has to sponsor you and get you a work visa. Once that job is done, you have to go back. If you are a tourist that went to Disney, you have to go back after your vacation. The US awards 1 million green cards yearly. A lot of people are already in the country, because they may be refugees and they can't go back, or they have invested here and have created jobs...

But "he's only after illegal immigration." Una go learn the hard way! 😂
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.
English
Honored to earn @Ilhan endorsement. I first met her at a time when Trump was attacking her personally on a daily basis, and even then, I never saw her flinch once — Rep. Omar is fearless. She has the determination and resolve to fight for what is right against the greatest of odds, and she has taken huge personal risk in doing so.
Rep. Omar’s politics of moral clarity have changed the political reality in Washington, and she is one of the strongest pro-peace and anti-war voices in congress. She is the model for what we need from our congresspeople today and I look forward to working with her.
English
@mnolangray If that ever happened to you, they'd be marrying you for the "papers". 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're the perfect candidate. A poor naive American boy.
English
It's even crueler than described. Say you marry your college sweetheart on a student visa, or girlfriend on a work visa. Maybe pregnant? Doesn't matter. You're forced to live apart or abroad for two years. If she is from 75 countries on Trump's arbitrary ban list, indefinitely.
Nick Davidov@Nick_Davidov
The biggest bullshit move by DHS in its history. So everyone on a O1 or H1B visa would have to stop working legally in the US, go back to their country and wait for years of backlog? This includes top scientists in our universities, founders of billion dollar companies (at least 3 just in our portfolio would be affected by the way). And if we look at individual countries it becomes even more bs. Indians would have to wait decades. Russians don’t have anywhere to go (there is no US embassy in Russia, hello?). This is the worst imaginable way to disrupt important work for the country and pretend you’re fighting some loophole.
English
@tobitac Are you sure, you didn't pay her to marry you for your "papers"?
English
I came to the US as a student and married a US citizen who sponsored me for a Green Card. If we had done so under this new rule it appears we would have had to separate ourselves for an indefinite period. This administration can't stop tearing families apart and is anti-love
USCIS@USCIS
USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…
English
@JBlunt1018 @FLOTUS She DID go back to her country and waited for her papers, you imbecile! This is not new! My sister in law did this over 12 years ago. She went back and waited.
English
Under the logic of this new USCIS policy, even someone like our First Lady @FLOTUS could have been told:
“Go back to your home country and apply for your green card through consular processing instead.”
Meaning the future President of the United States may have had to spend years separated from his wife while waiting abroad for approval.
That’s how absurd this gets when bureaucrats start treating Adjustment of Status as some extraordinary act of government “grace” instead of a normal part of a functioning legal immigration system.
@USCIS is supposed to be the plumber that maintains the pipes of our immigration system.
Instead, these people are taking a sledgehammer to the entire water line.
English
You are wrong! If a US citizen marries annon-US citizen, the first thing the US citizen does is petition the spouse. If the non-citizen spouse is here legally on some sort of visa, they can stay here legally until it expires. They can ask for an extension of such visa. If they don't get it, depending on the case, they have to go back to their country and wait for their papers. My sister in law did it over ten years ago. This is not new! The reason is because there are thousands upon thousands of people who pay US citizens to get married for "papers" And that's why, it's been more difficult to "just get married" to get a green card. I see you are very, very, naive. 🤣🤣🤣
There's even a movie called Green Card about that. My God, it's the oldest trick in the book.
English
This is exactly the part of the AOS debate getting missed.
This isn't only about immigrants' rights. It's about US citizens too. Roughly 1 in 5 married couples in the US includes a spouse born abroad. That's not a fringe group, it's 21% of married couple households.
When an American marries someone here lawfully on a visa, adjustment of status is how their spouse gets a green card without leaving the country.
Take that away and you are telling US citizens their husband or wife has to leave the US to process a visa abroad. They spend months (and often years) apart, and there is no guarantee they are allowed back in.
If there are US citizen kids, you are now separating them from a parent too.
That's not just an immigrant problem. That's a US citizen losing the right to live in their own country with the family they built here, even though their spouse followed every rule.
John J.S. Soriano@JohnJSSoriano
So if we had kids at the time she applied, my wife would have had to leave her children in the US to apply for a Green Card?
English
No, stupid! The US citizen spouse is the one who petitions the other spouse. If you marry, you petition iright away. In some cases the non-citizen has to wait in their country, which has always been the case, always, and in some cases they can wait for their papers here.
But thousands upon thousands of people marry for "papers" They pay a US citizen from 5 to 25 or more thousand dollars to get married for papers. And those are the loopholes they are talking about. That's why it's not that easy anymore to just get married for a green card.
English
Ohhhh this is a big & pretty awful change to the law. It means that if you came here legally on a visa, built a life, maybe had a spouse/kids/job - none of that matters. If you want to apply for a green card, you will have to leave the country. Sounds reasonable until you realize that for some people leaving can trigger a 3 or 10 year bar on re-entry so this actually a trap.
I'm sure there'll be pushback in the courts bc this is simply ridiculous.

@DrAyeshaRay Hmmmm... Methinks, you might be the racist here. A lot of assumptions in this one tweet.
English
First of all, it's the US citizen who petitions the non-citizen spouse, stupid! It's always been that way.
And by the way, do you know some US citizens that would like to get married, because I know a few people who are willing to pay up to 25 thousand dollars to get married for "papers"
Your are such a naive child.
English
The new USCIS policy would appear to require anyone who is currently in the US who marries a U.S. citizen to leave the country, potentially for months or years, to get an immigrant visa; rather than doing what has been the process for 66 years and just applying for a green card.
John J.S. Soriano@JohnJSSoriano
So if we had kids at the time she applied, my wife would have had to leave her children in the US to apply for a Green Card?
English
If a US citizen marries someone who's not a citizen, it's the job of the US citizen to petition the spouse. If the spouse is here on some sort of visa, he/she can stay on such visa, if the visa expires, they can ask for extension, if they don't get the extension, they have to wait in their country. It's always been like that. But you know this, you're just trying to cause trouble and that's why you can't be trusted.
Also, since you are talking about children being separated from their parents, what ever happened to the now 350 thousand unaccompanied children that the Biden administration "lost"?
English
So this means that there will be American children who will be separated from their mom or dad for months or YEARS. This is anti-family.
I’ll do everything I can to stop it.

The Trump administration will now require green card seekers to leave the US to apply, potentially impacting hundreds of thousands. cnn.it/3PjRIWF

@BaniasLaw Stop lying, stupid! It doesn’t take 15 years to get a green card. What an imbecile! 🤣🤣🤣
English
So, #H1B nonimmigrants with approved immigrant visas (who congress gives infinite nonimmigrant extensions) who live, work, and pay taxes for 15 years—and have US citizen children—should be treated as though they are here temporarily (after 15 years of lawful residency) when they are finally able to apply for a green card? #SaveAOS #AbuseofDiscretion
Immigration Accountability Project Action@iaproject
This could be a HUGE move by @USCISJoe! Aliens coming to the US on temporary “nonimmigrant” visas should have to leave the US to wait for green card applications to be processed. Congress should eliminate adjustment of status altogether by passing @RepEliCrane’s End H-1B Visa Abuse Act (HR 8443), but it’s good to see the Trump Admin going as far as it legally can to fix this problem.
English
@JohnJSSoriano Hey do you know some people who want to get married? I know some people paying up to 25thousand dollars for Us citizens that want to get married so they can get their “papers”
Man, you’re stupid!
English
The irony is that anti-family nationalists are attacking one of the most pro-assimilation things an immigrant can do: marry a U.S. citizen, build a family here, and raise American children.
John J.S. Soriano@JohnJSSoriano

@mattzieger Foreign people on visas know the law and know what they have to do to apply for permanent residency.
English
It's extremely destructive to post these kinds of policies with no details. Hundreds of thousands of lawfully working professionals on visas, as well as thousands of US based businesses have their worlds and livelihoods at risk now without clarity on the actual policy here.
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. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.
English
@tomaskenn That’s the way it’s always been, stupid. This is to make it harder for a non-citizen to give you 10 thousand dollars to get married for “papers”.
English
Let’s say a U.S. citizen marries an immigrant and they apply for a marriage petition to adjust the immigration status of the spouse. That person would have to leave the country under this new dumb rule. This is going to affect a lot of people negatively.

@0xsachi It doesn’t take 10 years to get a green card. Stop talking about things you don’t know.
English
This is crazy
Most green card applicants have already spent 5-10+ years studying in the US, working in a US company, and building their entire life in the US
Why force them to leave to apply?

@JohnJSSoriano @rohitjoycpa Your job is to immediately petition her. Once her visa runs out, she can either ask for an extension or she has to go back and wait for her papers in her country. It’s always been that way.
English
@rohitjoycpa She came to the US on a student visa with the intent to leave after graduation. She met and married a US citizen and changed her intention. She did not marry a US citizen to escape New Zealand.
It should be seamless for US citizens to have their spouses and parents with them.

@DarializaforNY Are you stupid? “ An alien who is in the U.S. TEMPORARILY..
English
This is so ridiculous.
Permanent residency is for people who are here and settled — a recognition that they are part of our communities.
To force them to leave to access it defeats the purpose of Permanent. Residency.
But we all know that’s not what any of this is about.
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.
