Why don't companies just start more offices in Inida? Or will they? Also, there's many countries' citizens severely under-represented, i.e. Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Japan, how do we improve this? https://www.livemint.com/Politics/OGUZjTaeWPSGTng0JP13qI/Over-21-lakh-Indians-applied-for-H1B-visa-in-last-11-years.html
Not possible.
You cry foul when they hire h1b. Then you cry cause they moved the job to India. Make up your mind. Somehow you feel like since it’s American company Americans are entitled to these job irrespective of their qualifications . Well that’s not how it works my friend.
No foul when they hire a US citizen. Didn’t see that option on your list. So no H1B, no offshore. 👍👍
US citizens want to protect their labor market. I can't blame them, you can.
Each year total quota for H1B is 85000. How come 2.1mil went to Indians in 10 yrs? Any legit source?
@Op You didn’t deduct extensions. No wonder why you guys didn’t see data being misused by App Developers. Go and solve that first.
I believe a cap of 85,000 was put within the decade. Even if was there for the entire decade and all the H1B visas went to Indians, it can only add up to 850,000. You can add a few non-profit H1Bs but I doubt it would take it pass 1 million. Maybe you can even add the spouse visa and assume all Indians on H1B married someone in India not on any US visa till marriage. Even then it can only reach 2M. With all the ridiculous assumptions, it is very difficult to reach OP'S number.
Also not all 85000 of the alloted visas have gone to Indians. Even if you assume 1/3 or 30k each year. You are probably looking at 300k visas alloted to Indians over a decade. Which is a very small and insignificant no. compared to the size of the country. Yet people are crying and whining. No wonder people get brainwashed and misguided easily especially Trump supporters.
I heard Indian got more than half h1bs thanks to icc. That's why foreign engineers are dominantly indian.
The last decade has also been the best bull run this country has seen. Imagine if USA hired double the H1-B. We would actually get shit done. H1BMaga
I swear
The OP is either outright lying or manipulating data to push his political agenda.
Number seems off. 75% h1b still goes to indian though. I wouldnt be surprise if the number of h1 related visas issued to indians are 1mil (including h2)
I think this number includes new, transfers, amendments, and renewals.
I'm with you. We have street shitters in SF. Why not open the offices where the best street shitters are?
You win
Haha
