Indian immigration issue
[Not crying just trying to understand] I see lot of indians are worried about immigration and visa situation. Those who came 15-20yrs back or married to american got GC/citizenship. But most of us(f1,h1bs, their families and dependents) are waiting and has to deal with lot of issues and uncertainty. I think there are 3 kind of people (mostly engineers) from tech companies like 1. amazon, Microsoft, Google ... Adobe eBay... 2. Large consulting companies tcs Infosys cognizant etc. 3. Small consultancies who deal in contract, hourly salaries and are mostly involved in fake resumes, visa abuse etc. It's very unlikely that people working in 1 would be taking any American person's job as their hiring bar is higher and they have lots of positions open & will hire anyone who fits in their requirements irrespective of whether he is american or not. People working in 2 are mostly from indian MNCs. 60-70% of them are working in testing, test automation, SQL and db admin and other less technical work. Remaining 30-40% are working in engineering/development, something more technical or that requires specialized skills & domain knowledge. But these folks also has to put lot of effort to get to on-site, handling on-site work as well as as offshore calls. And most importantly keeping client and their manager happy. There is no point in talking about 3. Those who can't make it to above two are most likely to join 3. No offense but I see lot of South Indians specially Telugus in here. I guess every another person from that region wants to be in us. Why don't the US immigration system checks applications coming from 2 thoroughly and investigate type 2 companies. These type 2 companies are nothing but white collar commission agents. they must be paying lot of money and bribe to US officials to make things work. I have seen them filing h1b applications for every other person working with them just to improve probability of getting more h1b visas. Simply ban and take action against 3. US immigration should make things easier for 1. If they have to leave US then their employer will send them to Canada or some other place and US will loose lot of tax money. Also if the Americans and US immigration still hates type1 employees then why don't their employers send them back to India. They can do similar work from India for same company. I think many will go back if employers starts paying 50-60%+ of US TC in India. It will save trouble for everyone. Americans don't have to worry about indians coming to US. Indians don't have to worry about immigration issues. Employer will also save 40-50% and immigration process charges. Am I missing something here? No trolls please.
Please run your post through spell check
Where are startup employees and cofounders? Every case is unique, so you can't have a blanket strategy
Yes I am ready to go back. My last question is if I am in with your company, decide to go back and work from indian office then will the company pay me at least 50-60% of my current TC for similar work? If not then why not?
Ever heard of demand/supply? That’s how the labor market works. Not based on what you “feel” you should make.
Indians are an overrepresented minority. Silicon Valley wants more African-Americans and Latinos instead of Asians and whites.
Affirmative action in Silicon Valley?? Whatever happened to merit based hiring? And who is stopping African Americans, Latinos from applying? Study, get good grades, invest in your future and take the job. These jobs are not line workmen where all someone does is put a bolt. That another can be trained to do so.
They want equality of outcome, not equal opportunity. If half the population is female then half of the engineers should be too. If you point out that men and women have different job preferences they fire you.
I think they can simply start charging some money for filing an H1B application instead of only charging the full amount when an application is picked.
Respect the law of the country and move on, cut your losses and remember when if things doesn’t look right most probably they are not right!
Let me guess you are in tier 1 and don’t care about the rest. While we all acknowledge that there is a problem with the current system, merely categorizing and banning a tier is not a solution. Every one’s case is unique and tier 3 people would have worked hard to come here.. I will respect them rather than looking down on them.
If working hard to fudge a resume or searching for a person to appear for your interview, or getting fake university degrees or applying through 10 firms to get ten visa applications simultaneously in the system to gain traction on lottery is working hard, then of course.
If that happens, then there is a loophole in the law that needs to be fixed. BV, checking application through multiple consultants etc should take care of it. How will this justify an RFE for some ones visa extension in the same company in the same role. We all respect the law of the land. But the sad fact that a few exploited a leaking law does not make every indian a fraud. I know what yout response would be. GTFO. I surely will the moment you GTFO and go back to UK from where your forefathers migrated. Oh then i remembered it did not start in UK, history says it started somewhere in Central Asia and some say it is Africa. GTFO to wherever it is. Sorry if it sounds rude. But generalizing the behaviour of a few rotten apples and branding them all as bad didn't quite sound right. Do you know of the union carbide leak that killed 100s or 1000s in india run by a US corp. We still dont generalise Americans as greedy capitalist bastards who kill people for money. Do you know how the American bombing of Japan destroyed a whole country. No one is generalizing here anything sir. Resting my case here. I am ready to take the racist bashing now, if that is what i get for speaking out the truth.
American companies will never send core work outside us for security reasons. All big tech companies have legacy work or support work for the us counterparts. This is mainly to protect the IP and making sure they hold what is important close to them.
Nice try USCIS
Immigration*
Got it. Thanks
I think USCIS should ban all H1B visa until the population of SV is normalized and representative of larger US metropolitan. We need more AfricanAmericans and latinos in the valley. Ban 1, 2, and 3. Ban them all!
