Why isn't it based on income or something? Ex: highest paid applicants to lowest until no more to give out

It's ridiculous that some WITCH employees get H1B rather than employees from reputable companies

    How about cancelling H1B all together for juniors? We have plenty of local talent to take up entry level work or can b trained

  • Especially the scam H-1B consultancies, I mean itโ€™s ridiculous. The amount of mediocre people they hire is stunning. H-1B should be reserved for skilled labour.

  • Entire program needs a review.

    They need to create a quota for work streams.

    Medical professionals
    Engineers
    Startupโ€™s
    Researchers
    Etc

    Then add selection criteria to each stream. It could be total compensation, US degrees, total work ex, patents, awards or something along those lines.

    Clearly lottery isnโ€™t the best option.

      OP
      Just because someone has two graduate degrees, that doesn't mean they are contributing more to the world than a highly paid SWE with a bachelors. Even so, the H1B is a *work* visa, not a "do good" visa
