> they move off of H-1B into green cards after a few years In theory, not in practice.

  In practice if they can't or decided not to apply for a green card they leave after 6 years.

    Well if you're from India you can apply but the green card backlog for India is ~80 years so you're still going to be on H1-B for a long time.

      I didn't realize it was that long, it really is indentured servitude at this point.

  We could just fix that by having employees apply for green cards instead of the company sponsoring them.
