Ask HN: Any chances to eventually relocate to US if working remotely?

Good question. I reckon it will depend on the company you will be doing work for. If it's a tech startup that hires you as a freelancer and later want to hire you full time - then yes. Most other companies, probably not.

My motto generally is, don't bet the bank on anything. A lot of people and companies try to bargain with you by quoting chance - 99.9% to their own benefit and greatly at your loss if it doesn't pan out. (They try to make you take on more risk than them, even though they will profit a lot more if whatever pans out)

Simply put, do the job for the jobs' sake and keep people/companies accountable to promises they've made. If it's not a promise, then it's probably mumbo jumbo.

Just my experience: I knew one worker in China brought to the US because of exceptional skill. And I know one who came on a student visa and the company later sponsored an H1B.

Not to piggyback, but I'd like to ask the same ? for companies in New Zealand or Australia who'd hire an American dev who wanted to relocate down there (eventually).
