I am an H1B to GC, and the above comment is correct! I am not sure why it is being downvoted. H. Clinton (when she was at state departmet) and Obama had a chance to make a sweeping change to the H1B program, and make it easier for smart people to immigrate and get their GC. Many Republicans were on board on this. The democratic party denied this, they wanted a more 'comprehensive' reform, and tied H1B with the 'low skilled' and illegal immigrant reform as well. The republicans were not on board with that, even though they were willing to reform the H1B. They basically held the H1B suferes/intenured servants, hostage to advance their agenda. (they thought they will be winning the 2016 election). That didn't happen, and Trump got elected, and the rest is story. The tech lobby should be really nervous about what Hillary Clinton just said https://www.vox.com/2016/7/11/12106796/clinton-immigration-visas https://www.vox.com/2016/7/11/12106796/clinton-immigration-v...
