Yes, but that waiver is only worth it for an individual that truly is exceptional. For the more common skilled engineer or scientist the waiver is not worth it
You're looking at it ass backing fuckwards, not what premium a company would pay for a cheap engineer or scientist, but what premium a cheap engineer or scientist would pay for an American engineer or scientist job. They'll still come here, take additional debt, but buy the house without a pool, maybe drive a Corola a few years.
This is a blatant cash grab. Sooner you realize that the sooner you can stop the mental gymnastics of pretending this fixes anything and move on to the mental circus of pretending this is a brilliant 4d cash grab, that will restore science funding.. err uhh lower our grocery bills, or.. fuck, it's just going to go to like Peter Thiel or some kid named Big Balls isn't it.
