> US residency being tied to employment is still so funny/ridiculous to me, as a non-American. What a raw deal for the immigrants.

That is quite common, especially in the developed world. The US is a little stricter in the timelines and thresholds it applies, but not as much more as people seem to think.

Immigrants get a raw deal everywhere, especially immigrants from developing countries.

For specialized work visas it certainly is.

There are also visa in the US that have nothing to do with employment.
