This kinda already exists. H1-B is is 3 years and can be extended to 6, but after that you can only get an extension for specific reasons (such as pending naturalization actions like a green card.)
> enforce equal pay: "if you hire an H1-B, you should pay them the same amount as you would a domestic worker."
That's how it's 'supposed' to work, that said I think that's part of why we see 'junior' software engineering roles wanting a decade of experience (since the H1-B will take the lower title/pay.)
> allow H1-B visa holders to move between jobs; don't tie it to one company.
IMO this is a big one and contributes a lot to H1-Bs getting abused by employers.
- sir0010010 2y agoI think H1Bs should not even be required to hold a job at all. The offer they initially receive from the "sponsoring" company is useful to prove high skill. At that point, they get a fixed amount of time in the US and if companies (whether original or other US companies) want them to work, they have to convince them to work with pay, benefits, working conditions, etc. This would put H1Bs on a closer to level playing field with US talent - there would no longer be a bargaining power advantage to hiring from India over Missouri.
