You are misleading people here. Top CS PHD or other PHDs won't go through H1B; they are most likely going through EB1 which is more efficient. You don't need to

You are misleading people here. Top CS PHD or other PHDs won't go through H1B; they are most likely going through EB1 which is more efficient. You don't need to wait years to get a green card. Also, people from countries like Australia, Canada, Germany, don't need H1B. Only people from Iran, India, and China need H1B.
The better solution, as I talked to variety people and many people suggests, is to raise the salary bar from 60k-ish to 100k-ish, and filter out the unequaled candidates.
- walshemj 9y agoI think limiting heavily the use of h1b by body shops make it direct hire only no w2 contractors
- taway_1212 9y agoHow come people from Germany don't need a H1B visa?
- user5994461 9y agoFYI: People from Germany, Austria, France, italy, Spain need a H1B. It's preventing lots of extremely qualified European to join the USA.
- jpatokal 9y agoIncorrect: people from most all countries do use H1-Bs to work in the US. (Australia is a rare exception, because there's a special visa just for them, thanks to some paid-in-blood Gulf War horse trading.). However, there's a per-country quota, which is why Chinese and Indians have a hard time getting them and most Europeans don't.
- cgh 9y agoCanada is also an exception (TN visa).
