The subset of employers who actually want to hire their H1Bs for the long term will initiate a Green Card application process for them, and once the worker has that, they can stay indefinitely (and, de facto, apply for citizenship eventually if that's what they want).
The disadvantage of a Green Card from the employer's perspective is that the worker is then free to change employment, so not all companies pursue this this.
- darkarmani 4y agoThe real answer is to make H1Bs transferable between jobs. H1Bs are limited, so what does it matter which company they work for? That would reduce exploitation done under H1Bs and keeping salaries low.
