      This.

      You can live and work in the US with your family for several years. Pay taxes. Buy a house. Live.

      But it can change in any minute for any reason.
      Company goes bankrupt? Scramble to find a new job (and hope paperwork for new visa is processed quickly) or leave .

      Want to change jobs? You are at the mercy of USCIS.

      Want to start a company? Sorry, no.
      A side businesses? Write a book and earn royalties? Nope. And nope.

      You die? Your family suddenly has to leave.

      Being on a non-immigrant visa restricts you and your family in so many ways that it is not simple to enumerate.

      If I'm paying taxes at least give me *some* security.

    OP
    Okay but isn’t that a cookie cutter life? I mean if you’re skilled and talented, you will be wanted anywhere in the world. So what’s so big deal? Would it change life significantly?

      Sometimes it's not about just you. Your family (wife and kids) will have jerky life experience because of you.

      For a single person, I agree it won't matter. For a family, it's not like you can leave the country the next day.

    Are you H1B from China or India? Wait till you get burnt out, get a bad boss or a bad experience. I can tell you are very early in your career.
