Technical ability alone does not qualify one for an H1b visa. You need to be above and beyond what is able to be sourced in America. Specifically, the skills need to be so advanced that you cannot find any American workers to fill the job.
I imagine this test would discredit nearly every H1b software hire.
- knuththetruth 8y agoIt will discredit nearly every H1b in industries (like tech) where workers switch jobs often and are more competitively compensated. That’s what the system is intended to curb.
- yourapostasy 8y ago> You need to be above and beyond what is able to be sourced in America. One workaround tactic I've read claimed on forums is the requirements stipulate that the candidate must work with offshore business analyst teams in their native language, which is not English. I can't believe it would be that easy, though. If that actually passes muster with federal immigration review, then these more stringent rules are just a paper tiger and political bluster.
- bigcostooge 8y agoI haven’t seen this specifically in our job postings. But we only hire H1bs to reduce cost.
