Hope they remove the H1B and make it available to those who complete at least a masters degree in the US. That way it will benefit various segments, and the guys will have to fight for job and also will make them better people after struggling for a couple of years.

the two men interviewed by NPR in that segment that were ranting about almost all of H1-B the indian IT companies gobble up, and emphasized that this deprivied US citizens of jobs, were desis who started off saying that 'I am a us citizen with desi accents that makes them suspect of their own visas as h-1 until recently.

Clearly, the Companies are abusing it and those who come on H1B are not the greatest caliber - mostly from 3rd and 4th rate schools armed with an engineering degree and 3 mnths of some kind of certificate.

Bwahahaha...Unkil, whatever gave you the idea that H1B is for "highly qualified people"?? It's simply a mechanism to bring in people to do work that the Americans can't (or won't do). .

I did read it closely. Which part of "Workers in a specialty occupation" suggests to you that the H1B was intended only for "highly qualified people"?

...Rite....next you will argue 8h grade is highly qualified (better than 5th grade) and give H1B.

LOL SwamiAvare...you are way outdated. These days most companies don't sponsor H1-B coz it is expensive and the chances of getting the visa is much much much less. The latest misuse is with L1 Visas. And those who study masters here dont have to auto qualify as smart ppl - they have to go thru hassles of mega tution and live with less than basics to get that damn degree. At any time an Indian qualified MCA is much better than US MS. They might look good on papers and can get you a initial job..., anyways.
