As US citizens, how can we help our international friends trying to get H1-B support? It is really hard to watch friends get denied, and I really wish policy makers would admit more very talented people from highly competitive countries.
One of my good friends from China is gay and if he goes back home, he could actually be in danger.
I feel helpless and I want to do more.

They bombard the system every year and eligible skilled workers should depend on their luck rather than their skills to get H1B. Solution : Increase the minimum level wages requirements 2x times. 2. There are lot of Indian bodyshops in US,which will apply visa & initiate greencard,so that they can hold a lock on the workers for a very long time. Solution: Make the H1B visa transfer flexible. Job portability should be made easy.So that body shops or employers cannot abuse H1B workers. 3. Conduct a very high level technical interview for the candidates which the consultant companies present. Many consulting companies bring unskilled workers with fake resume. So triple checking the background & skills will put a stop to H1B abuse and skilled candidates will get visas.
