I’m Indian too. But I understand that US needs to take care of its people first, We’re foreigners on visa. Why do Indians keep saying that US needs H1B “high skilled” workers? US will be just fine without most H1Bs. If I things go not well, why don’t you want to go back to India, your home country? US doesn’t own us anything, many of H1Bs started a good career here. We should be grateful.
I feel the same way. I worked in India as well as US, I had good experience at both places. Happy to have the opportunity to experience something new, will happily go back if it comes to that (or if my family needs me someday). I think the entitled ones we encounter around us are just more vocal.
Can I get my social security tax back tho?
🤦♂️
Kinda irrelevant but also the attitude against other Indians on H1B
Salaries for manufacturing sector is absolutely shit in India. Would leave US for a different country but surely won’t be going back to India anytime soon
Do you have kids that were born and grew up here? Did you buy a house here? Did you apply for GC in 2010 and think it would actually take you more than 10 years to get it? Only people that have lived here for a long time feel that way and I don’t think they are wrong in feeling entitled.
Touche
No. They are definitely wrong. These people just have been wrong for longer
@OP - go back to where you came from and don't try to draw generalizations about other people's behavior or decisions.
Health issues due to pollution in India
Being an Indian who was on h1b and GC queue, I would disagree that US doesn't need h1b or skilled labor. I used to get 8 to 9 message every month on LinkedIn mostly from govt defense contractors asking to interview for a role. I politely decline because it requires top security clearance and US citizenship. Likewise, the research lab in my college always had open positions for several students because there weren't enough students who had citizenship to fill those roles. I am an Indian and left US for good last month. I have been able to get an offer in India although still in interview phase. Just adding this before someone attacks me 😅
You omit the most important part, “at the wage they were willing to pay.” Had those employers raised wages, they would have gotten domestic applicants.
If you are biased with a bigoted view to think every h1b is from Indian consultancy who is underpaid then I cant help you and no point arguing with you. Many h1b holders have also got MS and PhD from top schools in US. Yes they are exploited too but not in terms of salary. Good companies pay similar salary to both US citizen and h1b holder. However, if you put some work pressure on US citizen he might leave the job and look for new one. H1b holder cant do that thing and some manager use it as their advantage. I have seen many times it takes those h1b several months to escape that situation as interviews, visa transfers take long time. I used to get messages from HR of companies like spaceX, Northrop Grumman and Raytheon for high income positions. Once a HR herself said they find it difficult to fill positions with US citizens. Half research assistant positions in my school used to be unfilled because those project required citizenship. Once my advisor told the same thing that their projects are understaffed since there arent enough US citizens in MS/PhD programs.
