Is the process difficult? Yes. Should it be? Probably.

Being an international worker working in the US, the process is captured very very accurately.
“Is the process difficult? Yes. Should it be? Probably.” I dont disagree with that statement, except that when you make the process this difficult, and to a certain extent unattainable, it does lead to a lot of talented technical workers proliferating outside of the US. Which is turns contributes to outsourcing of jobs etc (amongst other factors).
Just a thought.
