That is incorrect. People with exceptional abilities are covered under EB-1 green cards (and O-1 visas). H-1B was created to bring people in specialty occupations requiring a bachelor's degree or equivalent experience. A Java developer definitely meets the bar (with the right degree or experience).
- whatshisface 2y agoIt's impossible to truthfully state on an H1-B form that the US labor market can't provide an experienced Java developer.
- strongpigeon 2y agoThat is correct, but tangential to the original point of extraordinary abilities. But it's also possible to say that one hasn't been able to find a skilled-enough Java developer.
- 15155 2y agoThe Java developers coming over on H-1Bs are often bottom of the barrel.
- risyachka 2y agoTrue, but at the same time immigrants have nothing to lose and everything to gain, thus in many cases they will work harder/longer and as result often be more skilled than an average developer. And in general skilled immigration has many times over been proven to only benefit the country and that java developer you mention.
