Free shipping matters and so does removing the logistics overhead and the risks associated with a potential candidate. Moving overseas labor right next to your door surely increases the pressure on the domestic labor market. I'm an outsider and the State Department unfortunately doesn't publish statistics on visa type transitions, e.g. how many people went from H-4 to H1-B, as well as from J-1 to H1-B. J-1 for instance is a visa type for cultural exchange and it's been known a major vehicle of abuse and illegal immigration because. J-1 has been replacing lower-skilled labor however.
- zerr 10y agoWe are not talking about abusing of H1B, but when the candidate really satisfies the requirements and the salary offered is on par or better compared to local worker at the same level. So we agree that "importing" skilled people is good for the country.
- rodionos 10y agoI actually talked about a different subject, namely secondary effects. I argued that the displacement of jobs with H-1B visa holders is greater that the exact number of H-1Bs due to additional pool of H-4 candidates who are now in a better position to compete for new job openings.
- zerr 10y agoAnd I was saying that there is nothing wrong with it. The less bureaucratic hassle for skilled people the better.

So no, being on H-4 does not automatically get one a job. [1] at which point they are only one step away from permanent residency
