> Some paths are quota based by country of origin

Yes, but that has little effect on H1B visas. European applicants are in the same pool as everyone else.

> getting a green card is exponentially harder

Nobody mentioned getting a greencard, which is a problem in itself. Just a work visa. Which, if you're a European citizen, is dependent on a lottery.

Yeah, it's easier for an AU citizen to get a visa (because there's a special program for them), but you haven't said why it's easier for an EU citizen to get one. Please back up your claim.



You quote me yourself saying ‘some paths’- I was deliberately excluding H1B and stating so.
