Keep telling yourself that US Corporations care at all about your certifications.

Corporations went to India for workers because you could produce code cheaper than US workers. They didn't care then that your first language isn't English. They didn't care then that most Indian programmers went to schools that very few US executives had heard of. They didn't care that working remotely with foreign workers with a big time difference is not as good as having the programmers right there working the same hours as their US office staff.

Cheaper price rules in programming these days.

If, in the unlikely event it turns out US Coporations actually do care about certifications, it's certain that in some other country programmers will manage to get just as certified as in India. Perhaps they will be even more certified than Indian workers. I don't know if it will be in the Philippines, China, Russia, Ireland, or somewhere else. If it matters, it will happen. However, I doubt it matters all that much.

Cheaper price. That's how India got the work in the first place. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
