Transfering? Yes, it's possible. But it's not trivial and, post trump immigration bs, there is a real possibility transfer will not go through. Also usually this takes a few weeks/months.

I read something a few days on another unrelated thread from the AMA [0] with an immigration lawyer who works with YC companies that the administration prioritizing AI-related visas. Based on that, I could see folks making exceptions/expediting the process to stop brain-drain.

  • Yeah, that's fine and probably a bit easier to transfer, but it's still not a 100% sure thing and trivial to do.

we are talking about a company worth over two trillion dollars.

i think they can transfer visas quite easy compared to other companies.
