Looks like that those body shops are getting hit hard while tech gaints (Google, Facebook, etc.) are getting "free pass". https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/companies-seeking-h-1b-visas-asked-to-prove-future-work-exists
Good
I’m Indian and I endorse this article
Fine by me. These H1-B workers aren’t any better anyway. They’re just more accepting of having to slave away 12 hour shifts and no WLB on weekends.
this is just a matter of providing long term MSA and SOW. better if you have 2 or more clients lined up and span more than 6months to 1year
You’ll still only be issued a 6month or 1 year visa.
Yesss justice 🙌🏻
Consulting companies game the system and bring low skilled immigrants to US. This makes the average quality of applicants from the same country drops significantly and affects people from the same country the most. These companies are also wiling to risk unlike normal US tech companies. As a result, those consulting companies file GC for a lot more than the people coming via regular route such as studying in US. Not only that, many of these people who end up eventually in big tech will try to hire and promote the same kind of people because they were never exposed to diverse environment let alone working with Americans. This results in all kinds of political drama and sometimes those people win out unfortunately. Net result is pain for many people from the same country being stuck in long GC queue. It also depresses the wage and displaces Americans from work. Some CEOs knowingly let this go because their short term balance sheet look improved but this hurts the company and engineers.
Consulting firms need to be banned from GC applications. Period. The whole idea of employment GC is that there's a need to keep the individual long term. How can you have a need for an individual long term if they are working on contract which by definition is short term. This logic fail really boggles my mind.
Well said!
Sounds like a good step.

Consulting firms should be fcxked in every possible way. Nothing wrong in that. And this is coming from an Indian
What have I ever done to you? 🙁
As I said, consulting firms not individuals.
