@dmian @w7voa cool thanks,
seems aussies do not need a visa so for the moment not an isse.
note i am not going there, but my sister is doing so next year.
@kcpoole @w7voa Mostly related to students who want to temporarily work while in the US, but once they get this policy in place for one group, they'll keep expanding it. Those with more privilege on "genius" visas for their sports, arts, scientific or business talent really need to speak the fuck up and consider taking their talents away from the US market altogether.
