The rumblings I've heard is that the administration is dragging its feet almost anywhere they can, wrt immigration.
It's not just H1Bs from India, but nearly all visas from all countries. Events that are supposed to take place in 6 weeks are at 6 months, and it doesn't seem to be documented or reported anywhere.
I've only heard about it through some friends going through it or otherwise involved in the processes.

- satya71 7y agoImmigrants are not necessarily cheap. H1B problems do bind some employees to their employers removing their leverage. I'm an immigrant, I can tell you I do not come cheap.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 7y agoThe question is whether you come cheaper than a similar locally sourced employee who isn't bounded by H1B, not cheaper than a barista.
