The onus is on the consulting company to follow the law..

H1B abuse is a natural thing for these companies, they have no interest in hiring locally.. everything is done as a farce..

I guess eventually cheating catches up..

Who is SNS ?

I understand that the deportation of H1 B holders from the port of entry, is being done on a technicality - that these persons did not land at the place where the project is to be undertaken. These rules came into place on 8th Jan and the first batch of these visa holders numbering 8 or 10, were deported on 11th Jan.

Now it is difficult to judge, where the fault lies - or does it lie on both sides?

As far as the INS or the immigration officials are concerned - that may be a case of someone who is overzealous. It may be also that the unfettered authority of these officials is coming to play.

The other possibility - this might sound like a conspiracy theory............ Are they telling Indian H1B holders that they are not welcome here - especially because the US is still coming out of the recession? Are they signaling the beginning of protectionism in the US? It may be true that there is a little of everything.

On the other hand, far too much wrong doing has been done by Indian companies who send H1B holders to the US. It is possible that this is not limited to India alone - but that is something I would not know, and can not comment about.

In the past, unqualified, under-qualified, and shady characters who have never even gone to a school for computing, came to the US using fake education and experience credentials. Then there were companies who underpaid employees, and even sometimes did not pay these employees for months on end - simply because they were at the mercy of the \"consulting company\". The list of wrongdoings on both sides is rather long.

I know of a couple that is on an H1B visa - this couple has recently got permanent residency in Canada. What happens when their project ends in the US? Do they come to Canada? NO!! They plan to be there - the employer has made monthly deductions and will continue to pay their payroll tax, as if they were still employed. on a project. How he would do that, is a trade secret.

Legally, they would be required to leave the US, once the project is over. However, this couple will continue to stay there, until they find another project with the same consulting company, or till their money runs out - whichever is earlier.


So our people are great at finding a solution to beat the law. The game of cat and mouse between the H1B holders and the INS goes on. There are clearly winners and losers on both sides...........
