Denial of H1-B visas to India’s largest IT services exporters at all-time high
We are still a small company of 40+ people and have quite unprecedented issues with H-1Bs, from transfer though extension. Literally every single H-1B extension or transfer got slapped by RFE. The amount of documents we had to produce to prove that an employee, who works for us for 3 years, is still valuable, is just mind-blowing.<p>BTW we got RFE equally for people that are from Europe and India.<p>PS: because it was brought up by someone in this thread, we don’t employ immigrants to save money. Check any of my “who is hiring” posts [0] and you can see, that we pay equally across the US to all employees based on their skill level. We bring immigrants because we’re having hard times finding skilled workers locally. The competition for talent is quite brutal and we just can’t pay the same as FAANG.<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20587535" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20587535</a>
