According to this many of the struggling H1-B’s are moving back. Byeee.

H1b is almost bonded labor.. But usa wants cheep labor not the skilled one so they let ppl in from their borders but we have to keep showing papers after papers to get in …
We all wish. Instead, they are playing immigration games.
Normally they have 60 days to find work after a layoff or they have to go back home due to their work Visa.
What's happening (first-hand knowledge) is that a number of large Indian companies are extending "offer letters" to theses people so that their Visas don't expire.
Those offer letters aren't real jobs and they don't pay real money. It just games the immigration system and allows them to stay.
I know a number of Indian people who are great - but the overall culture is one of cheating and lying to get ahead.
I've lost count of the number of resumes I've reviewed and interview given where everything was build on a lie.
