Wow, thanks Chris!
Hi Product Hunters!
We're all excited about this first launch.
Visabot is a robot helping professionals relocate to the United States. He is not an immigration lawyer, so he is trying to be fast, easy and responsive. He will cover more immigration questions in the future. For now, Visabot can help you prolong you stay in the U.S. for 6 months if you're a tourist . If you're a talented person, Visabot can tell your chances to get a visa for extraordinary people.
Please test Visabot and tell us what else you want me to see him doing in immigration, appreciate your feedback!
Many thanks!

@goldman_artem This is SOOOooo great!! fighting #thewall till the end. :)
More like "Help tech companies abuse H1B Visas more efficiently!". Before people tell me "but how else will they meet demand for engineers?", I am absolutely for the use of immigration to bring the world's brightest minds to the US, that's the original purpose of H1B visas.
What actually happens often though, is that these companies will list a job that requires 20 years experience and offer well below market salary, then throw their hands up and say "no one wants the job, oh well!". They then jump on H1B Visas and underpay/overwork those employees because they know they have no choice, they'll otherwise have to go back home.
That's not to say that this is something the Visabot team is responsible to solve. The legislation around these visas needs to be more robust and prevent the abuses I mentioned, as for how, beats me.
@ghobs91 glad that we share the same values like fair and transparent immigration laws and supporting government infrastructure ensuring that such laws are applied properly by anyone including the tech giants.
Hey guys, amazing product. What do you think about Trump's influence in terms of working visas? How serious he is about making it more difficult to get, not to mention even cancel them? Is it sounds realistic? Thanks
@pavlo_kuznetsov Hey Pavlo, many thanks! Most likely, Trump will go after illegal immigrants and will probably be very cautious with changes to working visas (H-1B and others) which he as an ex-businessman should value a lot because these very visas are used by his companies to hire international employees and hence be more efficient.
