> fast track or simplified program for persons of note

There actually is a visa for Outstanding persons called O-1A: individuals with an extraordinary ability in the sciences, education, business, or athletics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_visa).

I don't know if it's any faster to get it.




It takes even longer; the documentation required is very strict, and due to the wide range of applicants, hard+subjective to judge.


Huh...so the ACM Turing Award does not qualify? And a Nobel prize wouldn't either, I suppose? So what does?


This is precisely the problem. "Policy on the run" becomes ill-designed red tape.
