^^^ I do understand that you're simply trying to help but you're really going off on quite a tangent here where USCIS/visas/immigration is concerned. If you can find statistics to support what you originally stated then I'd be more than happy to take a look at them. In other words, and to carry on from what you've already opined:
A. How many foreign workers in any one year have applied for and received US visas allowing them to work as an au pair for a US family where special conditions involving the lifting of an up to 300lb paralyzed child are involved?
B. How many foreign workers in any one year have applied for and received US visas allowing them to work in any facility where special conditions involving the lifting of up to 500lb patients is involved?
Don't beat a dead horse unnecessarily. All it does is twitch from the blows, not because it's just comatose!

Ironic that this appeared on another thread today!
Ironically this "W" visa proposal has been kicking around since it was introduced I think around 2002 (maybe even earlier) and has been "reinvented" in the last six months or so ...
I posted the link for anyone who wants to look up the degree equivalency requirement I mentioned in my post.
It was very clear to me. After all, I got it right when I read the following.
What am I smoking?
Do you know how these doctors are entering?
They're entering as asylees and refugees. They're not being trained in the U.S. Once they enter as an asylee, they have to find a way to convert their foreign education into a US equivalent. Which is hard because they need money to do that and money is hard to come by when you enter the U.S. with only the clothes on your back.
(That third link you posted can't even spell "immigrant" properly. It appears to be someone's writing assignment for a class.)
If they entered as student or as an H1B, they will most usually be employed in their line of work. If they enter as a refugee or asylee, then they won't, or it will take them a while due to language barriers and finances.
If they don't learn English, they'll never rise to the level they were at home. It's that simple for anyone who enters any country without knowing the language. If you're claiming to be a doctor, then you should be able to learn English in 4 years, if you choose to tackle it. But if you sit around moping about the old country and how great you used to be, you won't succeed in the U.S.
That's true for anyone.
And guess what?
I don't feel bad for them.
Not one iota.
I want my doctor to fully understand the symptoms I'm explaining and what treatment options are available. I don't want someone to cover me in animal urine, do a dance and light a candle to heal me.
Most foreign doctors that come to the US end up being paramedics. Their education dosent seem to count here and like the poster above said they are too poor or old to start school from scratch here.
But also a lot of rich people from other countries do come here attend medical school and become doctors.
It shouldn't be difficult to come here legally on an H2A visa and there are no caps on those visas except that employers don't want to make the effort when they can just hire illegals.
If immigration laws were enforced, them there would be more pressure on employers to sponsor immigrants the right way.
Come to USA on Student visa for Master's Degree in Accounting. After MS you get OPT period for 1 year atleast where you can find work and an employer who can file for H-1B visa for you since you will have American Degree. People have done that.
