Is there a EB1-C loop hole for low skilled managers to get their?
First of all, let's clear one thing up, there's no fast and easy track to getting a green card. You wait for it, same as everybody else. The supposed loophole this article mentions, is very very much simplifying the process of getting a green card. Before you can even start the process of getting a green card, you first must be approved by the DoL (Department of Labor) to qualify for immigration. The big bad ground for qualification? No American can do your job, and that you are special enough that it warrants your company hiring you from another country. Yes, even for EB1s. This qualification process included rounds of external and internal advertising for you position wether it be management or not. If someone else can do your job, or better for the same salary (especially given the language barrier), then well, you're either out of a job, or the DoL won't approve you for immigration. You can get these ads waived, but not at the idiot level management. More like if you were VP of a F500. In which case, that's not even through an H1B visa. The other rout to a green card is being in academia, where the government sets no limits as long as you're qualified (in a different way the through your job). This is the much faster, but much harder way. Also who ever wrote this article, decided to paint all employers in a terrible light, and not employers are like that at all. My dads employer offered him H1B as soon as his J2(he was previously on)s two year limit was over, and then started the green card process as soon as he went to the US. He is able to leave work most days before 5, and he says depending on how long the suns still up, he leaves the office before 4:30 in the winter. His boss and bosses boss all invite him into their homes, and the VP of his division even picked him up from the airport when he first went to the US. They pay for his business travels back and forth to his home country many times a year, and is always flexible and accommodating to his schedule. Not all employers are horrible. Many are great. And only employe less than a handful of foreign workers. I will have to say, the bad name is partly the immigrants fault, especially Indian immigrants. I by no means am biased to Indian, and two of my closed friends are Indians, but I do find the way Silicon Valley massively employees Indians and the way Indians all flood the H1B process a bit abhorrent. I'm sure other Asians (especially the Chinese) also go for it, but I personally know there are a lot let, compared.
