Cognizant is the plague
2017 was trump and republicans
Dude, seriously? How can you change a reform in ~2 months in office? He was sworn in on January 20th and the deadline to apply for visa I is April 1st.
What reform? Political parties dont control who applies how many applications. Cognizant just tends to apply a lot.
Cognizant, TCS and Infosys have been DDOSing the h1b lottery for decades. Fucking hate these body shoppers. They're the reason that we're in this 30 year GC wait time.
They are taking advantage of a poorly designed system. The immigration system Is broken and that is the real problem.
Indian IT service companies are finding holes in the system and taking advantage of that. They file green card EB1 for these guys whose job is scrum master or project manager because it has manager in the title. These companies are lobbying heavily to keep the system intact and on the flip side Silicon Valley companies hardly do anything for their h1b candidates other than filing green card.
Orange man actually bad?
I like that USCIS is vetting the applications more stringently nowadays. They should’ve done that in the past. Some rejections are unfair though where they only look at the person’s engineering major instead of his entire experience and skillset. Hopefully they define a fair standard for what they think is acceptable for h1b.
85k is too much for know nothings at indian bodyshops.....why are engineers like to self sabatagr their own occupation. You dont see doctors and lawyers doing this....even pro atheletes have a union......must be know it all liberal smugness....until they get replaced by h1b when they hit 40.
The system is a mess and both parties don’t want to solve it. No solution is on table and whatever one comes up with will he not adequate enough. Also the downside of h1b is that job moves overseas. What trump has said but not done is to ensure that “specialized skill” can come but not anyone with any skill. Like Business Analyst role isn’t h1b qualified but a java developer is and can be. There is a clear need to show that these body shoppers are paying decent salary (min should be 100k) and is bringing experienced employees not fresh out of college (a lot of them do and pay less) Hope that 45 can do something about it although he is right now fixated on the wall so legal immigration isn’t even in background ....
I don't see what is wrong with this? Highly skilled and paid immigrants is good for the country, not bad.
Issue is low pay, doubt if most are highly skilled.
Do you consider all people work at those top 5 companies are highly skilled?
Wow those salaries are low. Part of me is angry at the wealthy taking advantage of things like this, but part of me is also empathetic for people who want a better life in the US. I am here because my grandparents/great grandparents had the opportunity to come here, as many other Europeans did in the early 20th century. Borders are pretty dumb for limiting opportunities, based on where you are born. The world didn’t have modern borders or visas until 100ish years ago.
Borders keep you safe buddy. No borders and your salary will be cut 90%....there are billions out there desparate to live and can rasily replace you. If you like india, just go live there. Your grand parents paid their dues....new immigrants must do the same or else it cheapens the citizenship and dilutes value for existing members.
I don’t think borders keep us safe. I think our strong military and the idea that you don’t mess with the United States because of our military is what keeps us safe.
