said by someone who doesn't understand US immigration. H1B is a non immigrant visa, sure, but it can open the door to the immigration process via company sponsorship. I know because I did it, and many others do too. Applying for a greencard from your native country is counterproductive. Basically a 10 year wait for some. Why bother.

That's wrong and it's wrong that it worked for you. You should leave.

yeah! The ones who did it legally should leave. You're very solution oriented.
