What you said is true - a new lottery is not needed. However before offering a job to a H1B candidate the company should demonstrate that it advertised this job to the general public and no non H1B candidate (a US citizen or permanent resident) applied or was eligible. In the current job market, there are tons of citizens and permanent residents in the job market making it difficult if not impossible for a H1B holder to get a new job.

The implication being that practically zero entry to intermediate level jobs would have H1Bs filling them, even in SV. Though the expected norm nowadays is for it to be a cheaper second-rate labour supply restricted by years long waiting lists and lotteries, and not a smooth pipeline of geniuses and super-geniuses interested in emigrating to the US,
- j16sdiz 3y agoWhat you said is correct from the policy/public perspective. This thread is talking about, from employee's perspective, it is hard to jump ship.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoI wasn't writing it from any specific perspective? The original ideal and present situation seems fairly clearly spelled out in an unbiased manner.
