PS: I am now happy with my decision.

I’m afraid you’re already late. H1-B visa program has just been opened for applications and learning from the past I’m pretty sure that the cap has been reached already on Apr 1. Unless this new company had already made a contract with you, willing to do the paperwork for H1-B and filed your application on the very first day, it’s late.

Hope your dream will come true (whatever it is), H1-B is just simply THAT tough.

I’ve been reading your blog for a while. If you moved to US and become their local citizen, it is still possible that they will still be biased towards your birthplace. I was crossing over the border in a school trip (2 busloads of people) to NY and only 2 people were called down to be interviewed with the customs: me and a Canadian citizen. I was holding an Indonesian passport and the other guy was holding a Canadian passport. The reason why this Canadian (but not the rest of 2-busloads of canadians and a few other foreigners) was called down was because his birthplace written on his passport was Kabul, Afghanistan. The ‘war on terror’ will still be around for quite some time, so my guess is that you will have a ‘hard time’moving around in US despite that you look chinese and holding a US/Canadian passport.
