No, we use the J-1 visa, or at least we used to. H-1B is aimed at businesses, not research.

Indeed, I'm sure it will be so remote that it will not happen in the US at all.

It's not science, it's art. As a physics professor I can definitely say that a large number of new pedagogical methods are tested on students without much, if any, research backing them up. Even when an attempt at measuring objective outcomes is made it rarely, if ever uses a control group where two instructors teach two equivalent groups of students in two different ways. Instead it usually uses subjective interviews with students which are then analyzed in an attempt to extract some degree of mildly objective data.

Even when you have something that seems to have credible research backing it someone else can try the method only to find that it completely fails for them. The conclusion I have arrived at over the years is that education is far more of an art than it is a science. Indeed, I think a lot of it is based on your enthusiasm as a teacher for the method and subject matter. If you see or develop a cool new idea for teaching something then your enthusiasm is picked up by students who then enjoy the material more and generally learn more.

....unless you make education the primary and overriding goal of schools again. Schools today are seen and used more as day care and social welfare providers. We need to return them to being first and foremost educational establishments focused on providing different educational outcomes to different students...and that means being willing and able to fail students who don't make the required standards.

Government: So I see that your H-1B jobs are all for "Computer Programmer (I)" and your U.S. hires are all for "Software Engineer (III)" or "(IV)".
Company: Yes. We haven't had much luck in hiring level one programmers here in the U.S. We put the jobs out there, but nobody is applying.

Prevailing wage for the job doesn't mean what you think it does. A bunch of sleazy outsourcing firms made sure of that.

Witness me!

Simply putting panels between the sun and the house substantially reduces the need for cooling, even if you didn't connect them to anything, because the back of the panel is white and the other side is dark.

The bill does three things:

1) Raises wage requirement to $150,000/yr, from $60,000/yr

2) Eliminates program that let recent college graduates remain and work in U.S. for three years without having to apply for a work visa/permit/whatever

3) Trades current lottery-based selection system with one where sponsor employers bid/pay fees for each worker they want to bring in - employers will compete for visas, not simply dump tens of thousands of names into the lottery.

The best change is the $150,000/yr salary requirement. A $60K/yr worker isn't typically a world-class expert on anything, really.

I have mixed opinions on recent graduates needing visas to work, and I'm a bit dubious about the fee structure.

I was under the impression that the vast majority of H-1B visa holders went to schools and became "experts" in their home country, then came to America on an J-1B visa.

How does a fresh out of college worker qualify for an H-1B visa?

Do we really have "tens of thousands" of STEM graduates each year here in student visas? Really?

If they can't get jobs in the U.S. after graduation, will they still want to attend a U.S. university? Perhaps they will find a more affordable school to attend elsewhere?

Fewer foreign visa holders open up slots for US students and workers.

Surprisingly little money. As soon as the extra cost exceeds the cost of hiring one person to maintain workarounds, it is cheaper to do the workarounds. Tricks like that might ostensibly work for individuals, but they fail badly every time when you're talking about big corporations.

Most Americans don't know jack about shit. Ignorance is a virtue here. Why are you trying to hard to read that, are you some kind of fag?

I only had so many choices as I wanted to buy something from costco so that I could easily return it if it failed. It was LG, Samsung, or Sony. The reviews all said that the LG was good except for the interface, and the other options were bad including the interface.

From a fundamental standpoint, I 100% agree with this level of fee on H1B visas. It was intended for bringing in people who had specializations that didn't exist locally, not for bringing in people who would simply do the work cheaper then the local labor pool. This has led to all kinds of stagnation in compensation especially when there was high demand for the jobs as well as rising cost of living.

That being said, remote work has shown that some of this can be done without being at the office anymore. I think some businesses will look at this again and review their recent back to the office policies, and the need to have workers live/reside near certain tech hubs/centers, and will use it as an excuse to then pay the going rate of where the person resides, not the rate of compensation for the work itself....

Yes because there are all those students who want to gut fish to put themselves through school.

The SU7 has long-range LIDAR. Teslers have no LIDAR. It's actually possible for Xiaomi to fix their cars, unlike Tesla.
