Enough do. For example, the line for people from India with a master's degree (separate lines for bachelors or phd) to get a green card is more than 11 years long. That's the time from when they qualify to get a greencard to when they actually receive it and not counting the years it takes to qualify for a greencard. During that time they have to stay on h1b visas, which can apparently be renewed indefinitely if the holdup is the backlog in the line for greencards.
