Comment How the H1B should be structured (Score 2) 538
I have worked with a lot of H1 workers. Here is what I have gathered so far.
I have noticed that in general they are not hackers, in fact, 99.4 percent of them are basic non imaginative coders.
They do not always have a degree in Computer Science or IT or any computer related fields. The H1B requirement I am told is a bachelor degree plus 3 years experience or a Masters Degree. It doesn't matter if they have degree in nutritional science or botony, as long as the experience is in IT.
Their three year experience in 70 percent of the cases is fake. The INS doesn't verify that what they list on their resumes is correct. They believe what the candidate or the company submits to them.
Have you ever thought that if the united states doesn't produce more than 30,000 IT people a year, how does india produce 200,000? Yeah they have a billion people but over 70 percent of them are illiterate, That leaves 300 million educated, with not enough universities to go around for everyone. No how many genuine IT workers they produce per year? 15,000. So have you ever thought how many fake application are submitted by Indians every year to get H1 visas?
The INS and the US embassies abroad need to establish a test for IT workers, not unlike the test for P.E. in the US. Only those workers that pass the test should be allowed. Background checks are a must. A certified degree in IT field should be required, not just any bachelors or masters degree, because we can get US works with the same qualifications too.
What happens when the economy starts lagging and these H1 holders have now become green carders? They fight US citizens for the jobs that are not there any more. So lets not make them citizens or green carders, lets make them go back after their visa expires.
So yeah lets increase the quotas but lets watch who comes in and who goes out.
