The USCIS started accepting applications yesterday for H1-B skilled workers. They received 150,000 applications for 65,000 available visas within 24 hours! There are an additional 20,000 visas for aspirants who acquired an advanced degree from an American university.
American Technology companies are using this as further argument to support their stand that the cap needs to be increased. Bill Gates wants to get rid of any sort of a limit. But the Congress is not moved, they are actually looking at bringing in further restrictions and stricter regulations to ensure that the American worker is not robbed of his job.
one word. Dammit.
UPDATE: Rediff is reporting on the bill being introduced to make it difficult for employers to seek H1B employees. Ultimately, In the long run, this can only benefit India. In the short run however, it hurts me!
