Guess which Indian IT major faced the most H-1B rejections
https://www.quora.com/q/cloud/Guess-which-Indian-IT-major-faced-the-most-H-1B-rejections?ch=99&share=39fc3778 Infosys, the second-largest among them all, accounted for over 36% of the denials. A quarter of its 8,000-plus H-1B applications were turned down by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS).
I wish Congress would act. I don't like seeing the administration do illegal things and make draconian the impact everyone, but there is a real problem here. We need Congress to move legislation restricting h1b to direct employment and ban its use in consulting situations. We also need to adopt something like the Amazon bar raiser concept: a foreign h1b should be the to people, better than half the people already here and therefore paid much higher than the prevailing wage because they are truly the cream of the crop. Top 10% of students from the top schools along with people who have significantly higher comp then others with the same YOE is what we want.
Amazon bar raisers are suckers. I've first hand experience. A candidate was rejected by all interviewers and still got hired after behind door talks. That tells corruption.
Totally
@sibhin5 - can you shed some more light on this... where is the corruption?
At every level. Employees allow the employer to submit multiple applications for them. Employers submit multiple application. These tech companies also pay money to USCIS execs under the table. No one is clean.
You realize it’s illegal even today? I think it’s just the misconception that an employer can file multiple applications for one employee.
Unfortunately Infosys/TCS give people more reasons to be pro-Trump and anti-immigration.
This
The companies getting most number of rejections are also the ones getting the most number of approvals, aren't they?
Yup they apply like 15K-20K
It's a denial of service attack on the US immigration system
So said the person doing manual QA 🤣
The issue is, they should only allow one H1b application per applicant for the the whole lifetime and then not reject on lottery basis or anything else but check every application in what time it takes.
A very simple legislative fix to this would be to raise the minimum wage for h1b applicants to something like , i dunno, 90K per year. Infosys etc would simply stop applying then.
Filing multiple apps for the same person on different roles is legal under current system. Remember that infosys and tata are consulting companies so they have many projects on hand for these people. It’s a loophole but legal. The bigger loophole is they get approved and move to different projects.
Don't complain when the government reacts to that "legal" denial of service attack with policies you don't like
Good, wish Infy and TCS are given more rejections.
