I don't know if this is really true, since it's something someone at work just told me with no references or anything, but there's also another problem with these Indian consulting companies. Apparently they request loads of H-1Bs for their employees in India "just in case" one of them is to be sent to the US. They kill the cap and in the end a lot of those people don't even come here. If this is really true, they should create a per-country cap for H-1Bs, the same way it is done with Green Cards.
