I&#x27;ve heard that, but I don&#x27;t quite understand it.<p><pre><code>   1. Advertise open positions that aren&#x27;t really open

   2. Collect a bunch of resumes

   3. When a position opens up 6 months later, offer it to someone 
   who hasn&#x27;t been able to find a job in 6 months...?

More likely it&#x27;s something to do with hiring quotas -- perhaps they have to show they made an effort to fill a position with a non-H1B worker, or something.
