The whole system is rife with fraud and abuse. I've worked at several large corporations were workers would drift around different business groups, picking up work and getting another short term contract in order to stay in the country and continue to be gainfully employed. There was a running joke between managers about recycling developers so they never had to sponsor any of them. I also worked at two different startups where they hired a developer and then a few weeks into the gig, they figured out this wasn't the person they thought they had hired. The second time, I wondered to a co-worker about it and he said there's a huge problem with one person (the qualified candidate) doing the interview and then they send a totally unqualified person to the gig. I also experienced large teams were an Indian developer would be getting close to his H1-B expiring and suddenly send a manager an email about a "sick family member" and having to return to India, never to show up again. One of co-workers said its pretty common and the H1-B devs are constantly interviewing and if they get a fresh contract, they'll just leave the current company and start at the new one - without any heads up to anybody, they just ghost. The whole program is so unregulated and so many loopholes for both sides to take advantage of, it needs to be changed for sure.
