An OpenAI researcher, Kai Chen, is facing potential deportation after his green card application was rejected. Chen, a Canadian national who has resided in the U.S. for 12 years and is employed by the leading AI firm, was informed of the decision last Friday, according to a post on X by fellow OpenAI researcher Noam Brown. The denial’s rationale remains undisclosed. However, the case spotlights the ongoing struggles encountered by highly skilled foreign professionals navigating the U.S. immigration system, even when contributing significantly to crucial sectors like artificial intelligence.
