Comments on: Ban Indian Companies from the H1B program http://www.arthshastra.com/post/198 Fri, 03 Jun 2011 23:39:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Siggy http://www.arthshastra.com/post/198/comment-page-1#comment-71625 Siggy Mon, 10 May 2010 21:43:12 +0000 http://www.arthshastra.com/archive/ban-indian-companies-from-the-h1b-program#comment-71625 I have faced both sides of the fence, while i understand that America needs specialized skills from overseas to meet temporay worker shortages - as happened during the Y2K times, The exalted US universities have been ignoring the IT Boom in corporate world - preferreing instead to dwell on Theoretical Computer Science- typical of narrow minded academics. I can confidently state to you guys that 90% of what hard skills you learnt on your overrated US Masters Degree are NOT being used on the desk jockey job, while most people and organizatiosn couldnt care less about the soft skills you have to offer. In the meanwhile, Bachelors degree holders and MCA's from Indian Universities are getting quickly placed in offshore IT jobs , gaining a wealth of On the Job Experience ( Hard & Soft skills) and they ARE as good as you MS Degree folks on teh jobs an dsoemtimes even better and are willing to work in US in situations advantageous both for the end employer and clients, whereas you folks coming in from relatively well to do snobbish upper crust of Indian society feel entitled at large to all the good things life has to offer, but want to deny the same good things to your fellow country men , but now left wondering where the good jobs are - swallowed up by your poorer cousins back home or here on the lowly H1- Visas. Good Luck.. On the other hand I hate those employers who make a quick buck on H1 Consulting with all the lies, exploiting gullible folks from India based on false asusrances and denying jobs to equally qualified local Americas in the name of performance(read workplace abuse) , hard work (Read explotation) and thrift ( read underpaid).. As far as geniuine MS degree folks who are STILL working on their field of specialization - YOU ARE THE BEST, I hope that the Green Card System would consider you on EB2 basis and put you on the fast track for US Perm residency... As far as im concerned, I have a permanent residency in India and the 'doors' are always open just in case you suckers make life difficult for me - coz I CAN accept India the way it really is.. Not like you Neo-Colonials who suddenly want to behave like redneck Republican once you are in US.

We had a transport business in india.. In a company producing idustrial gases... We were well off until a big American company setup its plant producing the same gases very cheaply because they had better and bigger plant.. Where were you guys when that big company made 5 of the small company close its business... One company getting close means people associated with it also looses there job... Because big plants like that are more automated and don't need so much labor to operate them... Then why people in Amrica are complaning about there jobs... Its globilasation,... Eveny one has to suffer... In one or other way.. Only people who cry in front of media are considered as genuine Hummm… We had a transport business in india..

Once they come here to work for the u.s. company, they ask their american coworkers for training and how to do their job. and that’s the truth ladies and gentlemen.

What are your thoughts about L1 visa - that is the mother of all frauds where even the spouse can work? It needs no qualifications, experience, salary check or quota limits. All the Indian bodyshops are using it instead of H1B. I am surprised how relevant this article is even in 2009.
