As for why many of them don't become permanent residents: it is quite hard to jump from H1B to permanent residency. I'm facing this problem myself at the moment

As for why many of them don't become permanent residents: it is quite hard to jump from H1B to permanent residency. I'm facing this problem myself at the moment and there's no easy solution. Living in such uncertainty about your future is hard and many people are just like 'screw this' and leave after some period of time. It's not like they want to leave and take their work with them.
- yankoff 14y agoThe point is that laws are such that they encourage you to leave the country after you've been educated and gotten good work experience. Which is crazy. You'd imagine there should be an easier way to become a permanent resident after you worked in a country for a while.
