H-1B shouldn't be used for entry level positions though. It should be used for positions that cannot be filled by the local workforce.

- dingo_bat 9y agoSo no jobs for newly graduated students who are not citizens?
- tiff_seattle 9y agoIf they don't have a skill that employers are willing to pay top dollar for, then no. H-1B is designed for bringing highly skilled workers into the country. It's not a program for job security for new grads.
- paxys 9y agoExperience is usually worth more than skill. It's pretty stupid to turn away smart young people who you have paid to educate in the best universities in the world.
- sanxiyn 9y agoYes, it is stupid, I wholeheartedly agree it should be fixed, but I disagree that it should be fixed by H-1B visa.
- sanxiyn 9y agoH-1B is not intended for newly graduated students. For them, there is OPT. You are right OPT is restrictive, but that is best solved by changing OPT.
