He, he, maybe your company did not miss H-1B boat. God forbid that employee's desire, timeframe or family could matter! I am sure that you deserve H-1H visa - I can write the best personal reference for you if you wish.
Ah. That attitude. I know it's old fashioned, but if I help the company prosper, then I prosper. If I save them money in one place, there is more to pay me in the other. Simple, really. And helping my company (which I am a stockholder in, by the way) trash someone else in the industry using competitive technological means can be downright fun, you know?
