To me H-1B seems like a <i>bad deal</i>. It gives the employer a lot of leverage over the employee. How do you expect a system like that not to be abused? You can require higher salaries for H-1B employees but that&#x27;s a half-assed solution.<p>Besides there&#x27;s no sensible path to permanent residence or citizenship.<p>Personally I&#x27;d like to spend some time in the States and see the country, work for a year or two and see how it goes. But I have no intention in getting into H-1B mess.
