It's inaccurate insofar as as the indentured servitude of the 19th century was actually a proper path to citizenship while the new form officially is not, with participants only hoping to have a shot at citizenship if they get lucky with other visa applications. Otherwise, it binds workers to their employer in a way that facilitates wage suppression and other labor abuse. That's why it's indentured servitude.
- jopsen 2y agoPeople can jump employers while one H1B, anyways, it's besides my point, which is: Until the US had better visa programs, it would be a shame to dismantle the H1B program. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Make a replacement, then talk about changing H1B.
- xpl 2y ago> People can jump employers while one H1B Good luck finding a new employer willing to sponsor your H1B within just 60 days (the grace period allowed before self-deportation) in this job market. Additionally, switching employers resets your green card approval process (if it has started), which can take years. This serves as a significant disincentive to change employers unless you've already filed your I-485. Considering that an H1B worker has only 6 years to progress through this process, there is even more pressure to avoid changing employers.
