I’m not familiar with the US visa rules, but aren’t companies supposed to demonstrate that they can’t source talent domestically before bringing people in on visas? This seems odd and damaging to the US economy. And I say this as a non-US person
- dudul 3y agoYeah but it's excessively easy. Rules most likely have changed since I was myself on an h1b 10+ years ago, but iirc all you had to do was show a job posting up for a certain amount of time without being able to hire.
- mdorazio 3y agoSee my reply to ftyers. It's very easy to get around the rules.
- xen0 3y agoI believe that, in many places, tech jobs are exempt from such restrictions.
- jtonl 3y agoThey can always reason that they can't hire market rate.
- postalrat 3y agoMaybe they can't find people who want to work in the office.
- manuelabeledo 3y ago> I’m not familiar with the US visa rules No worries. If this thread has proven anything, that would be that not even Americans know, but they sure love a good flame bait. Jokes aside, what you just said is absolutely correct and it is indeed how it works in the US. I'm an immigrant myself, and that was part of the process. Most people complaining about how this "hurts" Americans, are, unknowingly I hope, echoing the same xenophobic slogans we have been hearing for a couple decades now.
